2. Safety
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 are used for temperature measurement in industrial
applications.
The resistance thermometer 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 resistance thermometer 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 resistance thermometer 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.
