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 purified, 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 (fittings). 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 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.
■
Remove this protection cap only just before installing the transducer.
■
Mount the protection cap when removing and transporting the instrument.
