WARNING!
■
Remove the pressure transmitter from service and mark it to prevent it from being used again accidentally, if it
becomes damaged or unsafe for operation
■
Take precautions with regard to remaining media in removed pressure transmitter. Remaining media in the
pressure port may be hazardous or toxic!
■
Have repairs performed by the manufacturer only.
■
The operator is responsible for the material compatibility as well as correct handling, operation and mainte-
nance.
Information about material consistency against corrosion and diffusion can be found in our WIKA-Handbook, 'Pressure and
Temperature Measurement'.
WARNING!
For transducer with Ex-/FM-marking: Consider the relevant safety instructions as well as the respective country
specific regulations for installation and operation in hazardous areas (e.g.: IEC 60079-14, NEC). If you do not
observe these stipulations, serious injuries and/or damage may occur.
6. Packaging
Has everything been supplied?
Check the scope of supply:
■
Completely assembled transducer
■
Inspect the transducer for possible damage during transportation. Should there be any obvious damage, inform the trans-
port company and WIKA without delay.
■
The UHP transducers are purified, evacuated and double-packed in clean rooms in a protective atmosphere (clean room
class 5 according to ISO 14644). Special plastic protective caps are used to protect the high-quality threaded connections
(fittings). The gauges should remain in this special packaging until installation in order to prevent damage and contamina
-
tion. Therefore remove the ESD (Electro-Static-Discharge) protective foil only at the place of installation.
■
Keep the packaging, as it offers optimal protection during transportation (e.g. changing installation location, shipment for
repair).
■
Ensure that the pressure connection thread and the connection contacts will not be damaged.
■
Remove this protection cap only just before installing the transducer.
■
Mount the protection cap when removing and transporting the instrument.
