The measuring system is continuously monitored. The

following criteria are checked:

l

Two-wire cable on line break and shortcircuit

l

Interruption of the connection cable to the piezo elements

l

Corrosion or damage of the tuning fork (vibrating rod)

l

Break of the tuning fork (vibrating rod)

l

no vibration

l

Too low vibrating frequency

l

Medium penetrating from the vessel side into the sensor

In systems with OPTISWITCH level switches in conjunction

with a two-wire oscillator, a function test can be carried out. SU

501 Ex has an integrated test key. The test key is lowered in

the front plate of the signal conditioning instrument. Push the

test key with a suitable object (e.g. screwdriver, pen etc.).
By pushing the key, the system is checked on the following

criteria:

l

Switching function of the switching outputs

l

Potential separation of the outputs

l

The signal processing of the signal conditioning instrument

After pushing the test key, the complete measuring system is

checked on correct function. The following operating condi-

tions are simulated during the test:

l

Fault signal

l

Empty signal

1)

Set alternately switch 2 and/or 3 to "on". The times apply to the adjusted

delay mode.
