WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appropriate
thermometer has been selected in terms of measuring range, design and specic
measuring conditions.
Choose the thermowell with regard to the maximum pressure and temperature (e.g.
table of contact ratings in DIN 43772).
Non-observance can result in serious injury and/or damage to 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.
The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here, and may
only be used accordingly.
The technical specications contained in these operating instructions must be observed. Improper
handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical specications requires the
instrument to be shut down 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 the instrument malfunctioning. 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.
2.2 Personnel qualication
