Faults - WIKA PG81 Manual De Instrucciones

5. Commissioning, operation / 6. Faults
For sealing the pressure gauge connections with parallel threads, use flat gaskets, lens-
type sealing rings or WIKA profile sealings at the sealing face
(e.g. NPT thread), sealing is made in the thread
e.g. PTFE tape (EN 837-2).

The torque depends on the sealing used. In order to orientate the measuring instrument
so that it can be read as well as possible, a connection with LH-RH union or union nut
should be used.

CAUTION!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
If faults cannot be eliminated by means of the listed measures, the instru-
ment must be taken out of operation immediately.

If a return is needed, please follow the instructions given in chapter 8.2
"Return".
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
caused by hazardous media
Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, flammable
or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic,
radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants or compressors, there is a
danger of physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature
and under high pressure or vacuum may be present at the instrument.
▶
For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate
existing codes or regulations must also be followed.
▶
Wear the requisite protective equipment (see chapter 3.5 "Personal
protective equipment").
