5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
■
Storage temperature: 0 ... 70 °C (32 ... 158 °F)
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (no condensation)
Avoid exposure to the following factors (terminal side, connection head):
■
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Potentially explosive environments, ammable atmospheres
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 instrument as described
below:
1. Place the instrument, along with shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
2. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag, containing a
desiccant, inside the packaging.
6. Commissioning, operation
WARNING!
When the thermocouple is installed, the temperature must not drop below the
allowed operating temperature (environment, medium) or exceed it, even when
taking convection and heat radiation into account!
WARNING!
Thermocouples must be earthed (grounded) if dangerous voltages could be
expected at the connection wires (caused, for example, by mechanical damage,
electrostatic discharge or induction)!
6.1 Installation scope
The following is a guide for installation of WELD-PAD tubeskin thermocouples. It gives
guidelines and suggestions for preparation, installation, and welding WELD-PAD
thermocouples. Due to the variety of applications some of the suggestions made here may
not be appropriate. The end user must determine if these instructions are suitable for their
unique application. Contact WIKA should you have any questions regarding the installation.
