Knowledge required
Install and start the pressure transmitter only if you are familiar with the relevant regulations and
directives of your country and if you have the qualification required. You have to be acquainted
with the rules and regulations on hazardous areas, measurement and control technology and
electric circuits, since this pressure transmitter is „electrical equipment“. Depending on the
operating conditions of your application you have to have the corresponding knowledge, e.g. of
aggressive media.

2-wire Two connection lines are intended for the voltage supply.
The supply current is the measurement signal.
3-wire Two connection lines are intended for the voltage supply.
One connection line is intended for the measurement signal.
4. Function
E-10: Pressure connection (explosion proof) with internal diaphragm (standard version).
E-11: Pressure connection with flush diaphragm (explosion proof) for highly viscous or solids
entrained media which might clog the pressure port.
Function
The pressure prevailing within the application is transformed into a standardised electrical signal
through the deflection of the diaphragm, which acts on the sensor element with the power supply
fed to the transmitter. This electric signal changes in proportion to the pressure and can be evaluated correspondingly

WARNING!
■
Select the appropriate pressure transmitter with regard to scale range, performance and specific measurement conditions prior to installing and starting the
instrument.
■
Observe the relevant national regulations (e.g.: NEC, CEC) and observe the applicable standards and directives for special applications (e.g. with dangerous media
such as acetylene, flammable gases or liquids and toxic gases or liquids and with
refrigeration plants or compressors). If you do not observe the appropriate regulations, serious injuries and/or damage can occur.
■
Open pressure connections only after the system is without pressure.
■
Please make sure that the pressure transmitter is only used within the overload
threshold limit all the time.
■
Observe the ambient and working conditions outlined in section 7 „Technical
data”.
■
Ensure that the pressure transmitter is only operated in accordance with the provisions i.e. as described in the following instructions.
■
Do not interfere with or change the pressure transmitter in any other way than
described in these operating instructions.
■
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.

WARNING!
Consider the respective country specific regulations for installation and operation in
hazardous areas (e.g.: NEC, CEC). If you do not observe these stipulations, serious
injuries and/or damage can occur.
6. Packaging
Has everything been supplied?
Check the scope of supply:
■
Completely assembled pressure transmitters; with flush version E-11 including pre-assembled sealings and protection cap.
■
Inspect the pressure transmitter for possible damage during transportation. Should there be
any obvious damage, inform the transport company and WIKA without delay.
■
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.
In order to protect the diaphragm, the pressure connection of the instrument E-11 is provided
with a special protection cap.
■
Remove this protection cap only just before installing the pressure transmitter in order to
prevent any damage to the diaphragm or the thread.
■
Keep the protection cap of the pressure connection thread and the diaphragm for later
storage or transport.
■
Mount the protection cap when removing and transporting the instrument.

Diaphragm test for your safety
It is necessary that before starting the pressure transmitter you test the diaphragm visually, as
this is a safety-relevant component.
WARNING!
■
Pay attention to any liquid leaking out, for this points to a diaphragm damage.
■
Check the diaphragm visually for any damage (E-11).
■
Use the pressure transmitter only if the diaphragm is undamaged.
■
Use the pressure transmitter only if it is in a faultless condition as far as the
safety-relevant features are concerned.

WARNING!
■
Protect the diaphragm against any contact with abrasive substances and pressure
peaks and do not touch it with tools.
■
Observe the technical data for the use of the pressure transmitter in connection
with aggressive / corrosive media and for the avoidance of mechanical hazards.
■
Remove the protection cap only just before installation and absolutely avoid any damage to
the diaphragm during installation as well (E-11).
■
For Model E-10 you have to provide for a sealing element; exceptions are instruments with
self-sealing threads (e.g. NPT thread). For Model E-11 the sealing ring is included in delivery.
■
When mounting the instrument, ensure that the sealing faces of the instrument and the
measuring point are clean and undamaged.
■
Screw in or unscrew the instrument only via the flats using a suitable tool and the prescribed
torque. The appropriate torque depends on the dimension of the pressure connection and on
the sealing element used (form/material). Do not use the case as working surface for screwing
in or unscrewing the instrument.
■
When screwing the transmitter in, ensure that the threads are not jammed.
■
Do not torque the process connector with a force greater than 50 Nm / 442 lbf.
■
Be sure to install the system to meet NEC/CEC requirements.

Electrical Connection
WARNING!
■
Installation according control drawing 2323872.
■
Cable screen is connected to the case.
■
The simultaneous connection of case and shield wire to ground is only permitted
if ground loop problems between the shield wire connection (e.g. at the power
supply) and case can be excluded.
■
Switch on the operating voltage only after establishing the electrical connection in
order to avoid sparking.
■
Cover flying leads with fine wires by an end splice (cable preparation).
■
Attempting to remove the cable connection will damage the transmitter and void
the factory warranty and transmitter approvals.
■
The electrical connection to the transmitter must be used as originally supplied. It
must not be bypassed or modified (with the exception of the cable length). Improper assembly or alteration of the electrical connection will invalidate the explosion
protection class for which the transmitter is certified.
■
Installation with conduit: Use only threads NPT 1/2" according ANSI/ASME
B1.20.1.
■
Clamp the free cable end to a suitable certified clamp box or outside the hazardous area.

7. Starting, operation
■
Ground the housing through the process connection to protect the transmitter from electro-
US
magnetic fields and electrostatic discharge.
■
The transmitter is classified for overvoltage category II and the pollution degree 1: Use a NEC
or CEC Class 02 power supply (low voltage and low current max. 100 VA even under fault
conditions). Connect the cable shield or the green wire to ground.
■
Operate the pressure transmitter with a shielded cable and earth the shield at least on one
side of the cable, if the cable is longer than 30 m or if it is run outside of the building.
■
Please make sure that the ends of cables with flying leads do not allow any ingress of
moisture.
■
The pressure transmitters are supplied with a 1/2" NPT male conduit with 6 foot cable with
free ends, or 1/2" NPT male conduit with 6 foot flying leads.
