WIKA Operating Instructions - Differential pressure transmitter DPT-20
4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissible process conditions. You can find detailed information on
the process conditions in chapter "
Technical data
" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex
-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
•
Active measuring component
•
Process fitting
•
Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
•
Process pressure
•
Process temperature
•
Chemical properties of the medium
•
Abrasion and mechanical influences
The permissible process pressure range is specified on the type label
with "MWP" (Maximum Working Pressure), see chapter "
Configura
-
tion
". This specification refers to a reference temperature of +25 °C
(+76 °F). The MWP may also be permanently applied on one side.
In order to prevent damage to the device, a test pressure acting on
both sides may only exceed the specified MWP briefly by 1.5 times
at reference temperature. The pressure stage of the process fitting as
well as the overload resistance of the measuring cell are taken into
consideration here (see chapter "
Technical Data
").
In addition, a temperature derating of the process fitting, e. g. with
flange isolating diaphragms, can limit the permissible process pres
-
sure range according to the respective standard.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
•
Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter "
Connecting to
power supply
")
•
Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
•
Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.
