Good day! Our FDS 303 has steady yellow light and fault indication on our FDS System. I already restarted it by switching off the 24VDC power supply, but nothing changes. What must be the fault of this sensor. Thank you

A steady yellow light on the Micropack FDS303 sensor indicates an internal fault. A red fault alarm is also present in this condition.

Can I do something about the fault or should the sensor be replaced?
