Has everything been supplied?
Check the scope of supply:
Completely assembled pressure transmitters; with flush version IS-11 including pre-
assembled sealings and protection cap.
EC-type examination certificate
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 IS-11 is provided
with a special protection cap.
Remove this protection cap 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 (IS-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.

Sealing
Remove the protection cap only just before installation and absolutely avoid any
damage to the diaphragm during installation as well (IS-11).
For Model IS-10 you have to provide for a sealing element; exceptions are instru-
ments with self-sealing threads (e.g. NPT thread).
For Model IS-11 the sealing ring 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.
