2. Safety
EN
WARNING!
Before installation,
commissioning and
operation, ensure that
the appropriate instrument has been
selected in terms of measuring
range, design and specific measuring
conditions. Non-observance can result
in serious injury and/or damage to
equipment.
2.1 Intended use
The model 52 bimetal thermometer
is mainly used in the process industry
to monitor process temperatures. It is
suitable for installation in pipes and
tanks. The thermometer offers many
application possibilities for temperature
measurement in liquid and gaseous
media.
The instrument has been designed
and built solely for the intended use
described here and may only be used
accordingly.
WARNING!
For hazardous media such
as oxygen, acetylene,
flammable or toxic gases
or liquids, and refrigeration plants,
compressors, etc., in addition to all
standard regulations, the appropriate
existing codes or regulations must also
be followed.
3. Specifications
For specifications see WIKA data sheet
TM 52.01 and the order documentation.
4. Transport, packaging, storage
4.1 Transport
Check instrument for any damage that
may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported
immediately.
4.2 Packaging
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).
4.3 Storage
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 (shocks during abrupt
positioning)
Soot, vapour, dust, corrosive gases
■
5. Commissioning, operation
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 flats provided
for this purpose (using a suitable tool).
Installation with
spanner
Observe the following advice during
sensor installation:
If possible, the entire length of the
■
sensor should be exposed to the
temperature being measured.
In pipelines or other measuring
■
points, the temperature probe must
be positioned as far towards the flow
as possible.
When using thermowells, they must
■
be filled with a thermal contact
medium, in order to reduce the
heat transfer resistance between
the outer wall of the sensor and the
inner wall of the thermowell.
The working temperature of the
■
thermal compound is -40 ... +200 °C.
Before installing the probe, check
whether the probe material used
(specified in the delivery note) is
chemically resistant/neutral to the
medium being measured. This also
applies to thermowells.
6. Maintenance and cleaning
The instrument is maitenance-free.
The indicator should be checked
once or twice every year. For this the
instrument must be disconnected
from the process and checked using a
temperature calibrator.
Clean the instrument with a moist cloth
(soap water).
7. Dismounting, return, disposal
WARNING!
Residual media in
dismounted instruments can
result in a risk to persons,
the environment and equipment. Take
sufficient precautionary measures.
7.1 Dismounting
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
Let the instrument cool
down sufficiently before
dismounting it! When dismounting it,
there is a risk that dangerously hot
pressure media may escape.
7.2 Return
WARNING!
Strictly observe the
following when shipping
the instrument: All
instruments delivered to WIKA must
be free from any kind of hazardous
substances (acids, bases, solutions,
etc.).
When returning the instrument, use
the original packaging or a suitable
transport package.
Information on returns can
be found under the heading
"Service" on our local
website.
7.3 Disposal
Incorrect disposal can put the
environment at risk. Dispose of
instrument components and packaging
materials in an environmentally
compatible way and in accordance with
the country-specific waste disposal
regulations.
