WARNING!
It is imperative that the application conditions and safety require-
ments of the operating instructions are followed.
▶Instruments must be grounded via the process connection.
1. Design temperatures
Permissible ambient temperature
-20 ... +60 °C
-40 ... +60 °C only instruments with silicone oil lling
For instruments with a permissible ambient temperature deviating fromFor instruments with a permissible ambient temperature deviating from
-20 ... +60 °C, this is indicated on the dial.-20 ... +60 °C, this is indicated on the dial.
Permissible medium temperature (instrument)
-20 … +100 °C -20 … +200 °C
-20 … +60 °C -40 … +100 °C
-20 … +120 °C -40 … +120 °C
-20 … +160 °C -40 … +200 °C
The permissible medium temperature does not only depend on the instrument
design, but also on the ignition temperature of the surrounding gases, vapours or
dusts. Both aspects have to be taken into account. For instruments with maximum
permissible medium temperatures > 100 °C, the only allowable case lling is
silicon oil (marking with additional label “liquid lling”).
The limits of the permissible temperature ranges of an “instrument hook-up”
mounting arrangement are determined, in each case, by the component with the
greatest restriction.
2. Maximum surface temperature
The surface temperature of the instruments mainly depends on the medium
temperature of the application.The instrument itself does not contain any heat
sources. For determining the maximum surface temperature, besides the medium
temperature also other inuences such as the ambient temperature and, if appli-
cable, the solar irradiation must be taken into account. For prevention, consider
the maximum medium temperature as maximum surface temperature, if it is not
possible to determine the real surface temperature even in the case of expected
malfunctions.

Explosivedust/airatmospheres
For dusts, the procedure specied in ISO/IEC 80079-20-2 for determining the
ignition temperature has to be applied.The ignition temperature is determined
separately for dust clouds and dust layers, respectively. For dust layers, the igniti-
on temperature depends on the dust layer thickness per IEC/EN 60079-14.
Ignition temperature
of dust
Maximum permissible surface temperature of the
instrument (for the end application)
Dust cloud: Tcloud < 2/3 Tcloud
Dust layer: Tlayer < Tlayer − 75 K − (reduction depending on the layer thickness)
The permissible maximum medium temperature must not exceed the lowest
determined value, even in case of a malfunction.
Explosiveatmosphereconsistingofhybridmixtures
The instruments must not be used in areas in which an atmosphere consisting of
explosive hybrid mixtures (dusts mixed with gases) can occur.
3. Temperature at the installation site
When mounting the instrument it must be ensured that, taking into consideration
the inuence of convection and heat radiation, no deviation above or below the
permissible ambient and medium temperatures can occur.
4. Pressurisation
Pressure surges must be avoided at all costs. Open the shut-o valves slowly.
2. Safety

13WIKA operating instructions pressure gauge model 4 per ATEX
14508917.01 12/2021 EN/DE/FR/ES

5. Temperature increase through compression warming
Avoid the increasing of warming due to gas-compression. In these cases it may
be necessary to throttle the rate of change of pressure or reduce the permissible
medium temperature.
6.Equipotentialbonding
The instruments must be connected to the equipotential bonding of the plant via
the process connection by the end user in the end use application. Avoid use of
electric insulating sealing materials.
7. Handling of materials
Avoid exposure to substances or environment conditions that might aect the
materials of the instrument negatively. Avoid handling substances that are liable to
spontaneous combustion. For a list of the materials used, see chapter 3 “Speci-
cations”.The materials of wetted parts not listed there (e.g. Hastelloy) are noted
on the dial.
8.Permissiblevibrationload
The instruments should always be installed in locations free from vibration. If the
line to the instrument is not adequately stable, an instrument holder should be
used for fastening. If necessary, it is possible to isolate the instrument from the
mounting point, e.g. by installing a exible connection line between the measuring
point and the pressure gauge and mounting the instrument on a suitable bracket.
If vibrations cannot be avoided by means of suitable installation, instruments with
liquid lling should be used.
At the installation site
However, the following limit values must not be exceeded:
Frequency range: < 150 Hz
Acceleration: < 0.5 g (approx. 5 m/s2)
9. Cleaning
Clean the equipment with a moist cloth. Do not use other cleaning processes than
manual rubbing to prevent electrostatic charging.
10. Assessment of all accessory components
All accessories (e.g. valves or attachment components) must be assessed in
combination with the delivered instruments by the end user. Particularly the requi-
rements of grounding and prevention of electrostatic charges must be considered.

11.Suitableprotectivemeasures
The operator must recognise ignition hazards and take suitable protective measu-
res. See chapter 2.2 “Responsibility of the operator”.
12.Descriptionoftheprotectionlevel
The operator must understand the Ex marking based on the description in chapter
2.6 “Labelling / safety marks” and observe it for their application.
13. Checking of the instrument labelling
The legibility of the marking must be observed during time in use but at least
during inspection periods of three years. See chapter 2.2 “Responsibility of the
operator”.
14. Instruments with marking pointer
For instruments with marking pointer, ensure that there are no electrostatic
charging mechanisms at the marking pointer.
15. Protection against external impact
Avoid any kind of external impact. External impacts can generate sparks through
friction processes between dierent materials.
16.Instrumentlling
The lling/relling of instruments leads to a loss of the explosion protection and
can lead to damage to the instrument.

6. Commissioning, operation
Personnel: Skilled personnel
Before commissioning the instrument, the conditions from chapter 2.7 “Special
conditions for safe use (X conditions)” must be fullled.
Mechanical connection
In accordance with the general technical regulations for pressure measuring
instruments (e.g. EN 837-2 “Selection and installation recommendations for
pressure gauges”).
When screwing the instruments in, the force required for sealing must not be
applied through the case, but only through the spanner ats provided for this
purpose, and using a suitable tool.
For parallel threads, use at gaskets, lens-type sealing rings or WIKA prole
sealings at the sealing face .With tapered threads (e.g. NPT threads), sealing is
made in the threads , using a suitable sealing material (EN 837-2).
The tightening 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 adjusting nut or union nut should be used. When a blow-out device is tted
to an instrument, it must be protected against being blocked by debris and dirt.
