handling the instrument. Working safely requires that all safety
instructions and work instructions are observed.
■
Observe the local accident prevention regulations and general
safety regulations, in eect for the instrument's range of use.
■
The operating instructions are part of the instrument and must
be kept in the immediate vicinity of the instrument and readily
accessible to skilled personnel at any time.
■
Skilled personnel must have carefully read and understood the
operating instructions, prior to beginning any work.
■
The manufacturers liability is void in the case of any damage
caused by using the product contrary to its intended use,
non-compliance with these operating instructions, assignment
of insuciently qualied skilled personnel or unauthorised
modications to the instrument.

These bimetal thermometers are used for measuring temperature in
hazardous areas of industrial applications.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended
use described here, and may only be used accordingly.
The technical specications contained in these operating instructions
must be observed. Improper handling or operation of the instrument
outside of its technical specications requires the instrument to be
taken out of service immediately and inspected by an authorised
WIKA service engineer.
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure
that the appropriate bimetal thermometer has been
selected in terms of measuring range, design and specic
measuring conditions. The compatibility of the wetted
parts of the process connection (thermowell, thermowell
stem) with the medium must be tested.
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or
damage to equipment.
Further important safety instructions can be found in the
individual chapters of these operating instructions.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on
operation contrary to the intended use.
A heat return ow from the process, which exceeds the ignition
temperature of the surrounding hazardous area, is not permitted and
must be prevented through appropriate thermal insulation!

The following surface temperatures must not be exceeded:
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Gas, air, vapour, mistDust, air

temperature
1) If dust should settle on the instrument (up to a max. 5 mm layer thickness), a safety margin
of 75 K must be maintained between the minimum ignition temperature of the dust layer
and the surface temperature! For thicker dust layers a greater safety margin should be
incorporated!

WARNING!
Observe the information given in the applicable type
examination certicate and the relevant countryspecic regulations for installation and use in potentially
explosive atmospheres (e.g. IEC 60079-14, NEC, CEC).
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or
damage to the equipment.
For additional important safety instructions for insturments
with ATEX approval see chapter 2.3 “Additional safety
instructions for instruments per ATEX”.
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted instruments can result in
a risk to persons, the environment and equipment. Take
Check instrument for any damage that may have been caused by
transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during
transport (e.g. change in installation site, sending for repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -20 ... +60 °C
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
■
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulls
the conditions listed above. If the original packaging is not available,
pack and store the thermometer as described below:
1. Wrap the thermometer in an antistatic plastic lm.
2. Place the thermometer, along with shock-absorbent material, in the
packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a
bag, containing a desiccant, inside the packaging.
Make sure to loosen the screws
on the opposite side as well!
3. Position the indicator as required, tighten the hexagon bolts and
slotted screws, and nally tighten the lock nut or union nut rmly.
Permissible vibration load at the installation site
The instruments should always be installed in locations free from
vibration.
If this is not possible, the following limit values must not be exceeded:
Frequency range < 150 Hz
Acceleration < 0.5 g (5 m/s2)
When using thermowells, they must be lled with a thermal contact
medium in order to reduce the heat transfer resistance between the
outer wall of the sensor and the inner wall of the thermowell. The
working temperature of the thermal compound is -40 ... +200 °C.
WARNING!
Do not ll hot thermowells. There is a risk of the oil
ensure that the stem does not
touch the bottom of the thermowell
since, due to the dierent
expansion coecients of the
materials, the stem may become
buckled at the bottom of the

7. Maintenance and cleaning
7.1 Maintenance
These bimetal thermometers are maintenance-free!
The indicator should be checked once or twice every year. For this
the instrument must be disconnected from the process and checked
using a temperature calibrator.
Repairs must only be carried out by the manufacturer.
7.2 Cleaning
CAUTION!
■
Clean the thermometer with a moist cloth.
■
Wash or clean the thermometer before returning it, in
order to protect personnel and the environment from
exposure to residual media.
