2.2 Description

The bimetal thermometers of this series are intended for installation in

pipelines, vessels, plant and machinery.

Sheath and case are made of stainless steel.

To allow tting to the process, dierent installation lengths and

process connections are available.

Through the high protection class of the thermometer (IP65) and its

liquid damping, operation under vibration conditions is possible.

2.3 Scope of delivery

Cross-check scope of delivery with delivery note.

4. Transport, packaging and storage

4.1 Transport

Check instrument for any damage that may have been caused by

transport. Obvious damage must be reported immediately.

CAUTION!

Damage through improper transport

With improper transport, a high level of damage to property

can occur.

▶

When unloading packed goods upon delivery as well as

during internal transport, proceed carefully and observe

the symbols on the packaging.

▶

With internal transport, observe the instructions in

chapter 4.2 “Packaging and storage”.

If the instrument is transported from a cold into a warm environment,

the formation of condensation may result in instrument malfunction.

Before putting it back into operation, wait for the instrument

temperature and the room temperature to equalise.

4.2 Packaging and storage

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).

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

■

Potentially explosive environments, ammable atmospheres

12968065.06 06/2019 EN/DE/FR/ES

12 WIKA operating instructions model 55

Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulls

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.

WARNING!

Before storing the instrument (following operation), remove

any residual media. This is of particular importance if

the medium is hazardous to health, e.g. caustic, toxic,

carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.

The use of liquid damping is always recommended for

temperatures near the dew point (±1 °C around 0 °C).

5. Commissioning, operation

WARNING!

Physical injuries and damage to property and the

environment caused by hazardous media

Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene,

ammable or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive,

toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive), and also with refrigeration

plants and compressors, there is a danger of physical injuries

and damage to property and the environment.

Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely

high temperature and under high pressure or vacuum may

be present at the instrument.

▶

For these media, in addition to all standard regulations,

the appropriate existing codes or regulations must also

be followed.

WARNING!

Injuries through hot surfaces or liquids

The sheath also contains a lling liquid; at a temperature

> 250 °C, this liquid may become cloudy or change colour

or, in some cases, may ignite.

▶

For lled instruments, make sure that the medium

temperature is lower than 250 °C.

When screwing the gauges in, the force required for this must not be

applied through the case or terminal box, rather only through the

spanner ats provided for this purpose (using a suitable tool).

the indicator to the desired position, the following steps must be

taken:

1. The lock nut or union nut must be loosened at the process

connection.

2. The hexagon bolts and slotted screws at the swivel joint must be

loosened.

3. Position the indicator as required, tighten the hexagon bolts and

slotted screws, and nally tighten the lock nut or union nut rmly.

5.1 Use of thermowells

CAUTION!

Damage due to incorrect handling

When using thermowells, please ensure that the stem does

not touch the bottom of the thermowell since, due to the

dierent expansion coecients of the materials, the stem

may become buckled at the bottom of the thermowell.

▶

Use the correct insertion length (for the formula for the

calculation of the insertion length, l

5.2 Thermal contact medium

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 probe and the inner wall of the thermowell. The

working temperature of the thermal compound is -40 ... +200 °C.

WARNING!

Physical injuries and damage to equipment due to oil

spraying out

When pouring a thermal contact medium into a hot

thermowell, there is a danger of physical injuries and

damage to equipment due to oil spraying out.

▶

Do not ll hot thermowells

6. Faults

CAUTION!

Physical injuries and damage to property and the

environment

If faults cannot be eliminated by means of the listed

measures, the instrument must be taken out of operation

immediately.

▶

Ensure that pressure or signal is no longer present and

protect against accidental commissioning.

▶

Contact the manufacturer.

▶

If a return is needed, please follow the instructions given

in chapter 8.2 “Return”.
