Ultra High Purity Transducer
WUC-10: Single End
WUC-15: Flow Through
WUC-16: Modular Surface Mount
Function: The pressure prevailing within the application is transformed into a standardised electrical signal through the
deection 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
5. For your safety
WARNING!
■
Select the appropriate transducer with regard to scale range, performance and specic measurement condi-
tions prior to installing and starting the instrument.
■
Consider the relevant national regulations (e.g.: EN/IEC 60079-14) and observe the applicable standards and
directives for special applications (e.g. with dangerous media such as acetylene, ammable gases or liquids
and toxic gases or liquids and with 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 transducer 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 transducer is only operated in accordance with the provisions i.e. as described in the following
instructions.
■
Do not interfere with or change the transducer in any other way than described in these operating instructions.

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 maintenance.
Information about material consistency against corrosion and diusion 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
specic 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 transport company and WIKA without delay.
■
The UHP transducers are puried, 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
(ttings). The gauges should remain in this special packaging until installation in order to prevent damage and contamination. Therefore remove the ESD (Electro-Static-Discharge) protective foil only at the place of installation.
■
Keep the packaging, as it oers 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.

■
Remove the protection cap only just before installation.
■
When mounting the instrument, ensure that the sealing faces of the instrument and the measuring point are
clean and undamaged.
■
Do not scratch or nick the bead. Do not over tighten. Damage to the bead will aect the tting's performance
and may cause leakage in the system.
■
Screw in or unscrew the instrument only via the ats 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.
WARNING!
For transducer with Ex-/FM-marking:
■
Protect the inner diaphragm against any contact with abrasive substances and pressure peaks and do not
touch it with tools. Damage of the diaphragm may result in losing the explosion protection.
■
Observe the technical data for the use of the transducer in connection with aggressive / corrosive media and
for the avoidance of mechanical hazards.
Mechanical Connection
■
Prepare the gas line connections appropriately.
■
You should blow clean all tting components (such as sealing gaskets, for example) using a clean/ltered gas. Please
refer to the specic technical guides furnished by the gasket manufacturers for additional specications.
■
You can then remove the protective lm, as well as any plastic caps there may be for protecting high-quality ttings.
Face Seal Connections (only WUC-10, WUC-15)
For connections compatible with VCR
®
-ttings:
1. Hold the swivel female face seal / swivel male face seal, mounting part (valve etc.) or case hexagon. Tighten the swivel
female face seal hand-tight and adjust the instrument to the desired position. When tightening or untightening at mounting
parts (valves etc.) or ttings, ensure that the threads do not get jammed.
2. Hold the swivel female face seal with a suitable open-end wrench. Tighten the swivel female face seal / swivel male face
seal or mounting part (valve etc.) by a 1/8 or 1/4 turn (depending on the sealing elements used) beyond the hand-tight
position.
3. Please refer to the specic technical guides furnished by the tting manufacturers for additional specications.
4. With that the transducer is mechanically connected. Electrical connection possibilities are described in the following
section.

Welding Connections (only WUC-10, WUC-15)
The weld needs to be fully penetrating, but amperage and heat need to be minimised. We recommend owing Argon gas
through the transducer during welding. This will help to cool the transducer. Prior to welding tubing to the transducer, it is
recommended that a few test welds be made.
WARNING!
■
Make sure the transducer is not connected to any other device, prior to arc welding.
■
Disconnect the transducer from any electrical device.
■
The operator is responsible for the material compatibility as well as correct handling, operation and maintenance.
Prepare the transducer for use
1. Adjust the zero point (please refer to chapter Zero Adjustment).
2. Verify integrity of the weld or seal by appropriate helium leak-testing procedures.
3. Turn the gas ow ON then OFF, 10 times to remove any particles generated during installation. (The ow rate used should
at least equal the process ow specications.)
MSM, Modular Surface Mount (only WUC-16)
Please observe the corresponding technical specications, such as torques and mounting position of the contact components.

■
If long connecting cables (greater than 30m) or leads outside buildings are to be used, use screened leads.
Note that with plug connectors, no connection between cable screen and housing is possible. Take care, therefore, for installations in explosion hazard areas, that equipotential bonding is used.
For instruments with cable outputs, the cable is always shielded. Depending upon the design (ordered version)
the screen may or may not be connected with the enclosure. Also provide for equipotential bonding here, if
necessary.
■
Ensure that the cable diameter you select ts to the cable gland of the connector Ensure that the cable gland of
the mounted connector is positioned correctly and that the sealings are available and undamaged. Tighten the
threaded connection and check the correct position of the sealings in order to ensure the ingress protection
■
Cover ying leads with ne wires by an end splice (cable preparation).
■
Please make sure that the ends of cables with ying leads do not allow any ingress of moisture.
■
The transducer must be connected and operated in accordance with the approriate regulations. Take care to
ensure that the electrical connection (e.g. M12 connector) is correctly made (fully sealed).
WARNING!
■
For equipment with Ex nA ic certication, or if operated under nA ic conditions: Do not separate when
energized.
■
For products with FM Approval: The connection between cable and connector shall withstand a tensile force of
