5.1 Mounting the instrument
WARNING!
Physical injury through aggressive media, high pressures and high
EN
temperatures
When mounting, there is a danger from aggressive media, high pressures
and high medium temperature.
▶
▶
▶
Only use the pressure transmitter if it is in perfect condition with respect to safety.
Prior to commissioning, the pressure transmitter must be subjected to a visual inspection.
Leaking fluid is indicative of damage.

5.2 Requirements for mounting point
The mounting point must meet the following conditions:
Ambience corresponds to a max. pollution degree of 3.
■
Humidity ≤ 80 % r. h. (non-condensing).
■
Protected from weather influences.
■
Sealing faces are clean and undamaged.
■
Sufficient space for a safe electrical installation.
■
For information on tapped holes and welding sockets, see Technical information
■
IN 00.14 at www.wika.com.
Permissible ambient and medium temperatures remain within the performance limits.
■
Consider possible restrictions on the ambient temperature range caused by mating
connector used.
For performance limits, see chapter 9 "Specifications"
■
5.3 Mechanical mounting
The max. torque depends on the mounting point (e.g. material and shape). If
you have any questions, please contact our application consultant.
For contact details see chapter 1 "General information" or the back page of
the operating instructions.
1. Seal the sealing faces.
2. At the mounting point, screw the pressure transmitter in hand-tight.
▶
When screwing in, do not cross the threads.

Observe the information in the material safety data sheet for the
corresponding medium.
Connect the pressure sensor once the system has been depressurised.
At medium temperatures above 65 °C [149 °F] wear protective gloves.
