Has everything been supplied?
Check the scope of supply:
 Completely assembled pressure transmitters.
 With flush version (S-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. chan-

ging 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 S-11 is provided
with a special protection cap.
Remove this protection cap by hand 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.

7. Starting, operation

Required tools: wrench (flats 27), screw driver
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.
 Pay attention to any liquid leaking out, for this points to a diaphragm
!
damage.
 Check the diaphragm visually for any damage (S-11).
Warning
 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.

Generally the serial number on the product label applies. If there is no serial number on the product label,
the number on the hexagon will apply.
 Remove the protection cap by hand only just before installation and absolutely avoid
any damage to the diaphragm during installation as well (S-11).
 For Model S-10 you have to provide for a sealing element; exceptions are instruments
with self-sealing threads (e.g. NPT thread). For Model S-11 the sealing is included in
delivery.
Please refer to our data sheet "Pressure gauge sealing washers AC 09.08" in WIKA's

product catalog Pressure and Temperature Measurement or our website
www.wika.de for details about sealing washers.
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.
