WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appropriate
thermometer has been selected in terms of measuring range, design and
specific measuring conditions.
Choose the thermowell with regard to the maximum pressure and temperature
(e.g. rating chart in DIN 43772).
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Further important safety instructions can be found in the individual chapters of
these operating instructions.
2.1 Intended use
These resistance thermometers and thermocouples are used for temperature measurement
in industrial applications, in hazardous areas.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here, and
may only be used accordingly.
The technical specifications contained in these operating instructions must be observed.
Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical specifications
requires the instrument to be taken out of service immediately and inspected by an
authorised WIKA service engineer.
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.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for claims of any type based on operation contrary to
the intended use.
