2. Safety
WARNING!
Before installation, commissioning and operation, ensure that the appropriate thermo-
meter has been selected in terms of measuring range, design and specic 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 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, in hazardous areas.
Resistance thermometers are used for measuring temperatures from -200 ... +600 °C. For
thermocouples, the possible measuring ranges range from -200 ... +1200 °C. Thermometers
of this design can be installed directly in the process as well as in thermowells. The thermowell
designs can be selected as desired, but the operating process data (temperature, pressure,
density and ow rate) must be taken into account.

GB
The system operator is responsible for selecting the thermometer or thermowell, and for the
selection of their materials, so as to guarantee their safe operation within the system or machine.
When preparing a quote, WIKA can only give recommendations which are based on our
experience in similar applications.
The thermometer has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here and
may only be used accordingly.
The technical specications contained in these operating instructions must be observed.
Improper handling or operation of the instrument outside of its technical specications 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 qualication
WARNING!
Risk of injury should qualication be insucient!
Improper handling can result in considerable injury and damage to equipment.
■
The activities described in these operating instructions may only be carried out by
skilled personnel who have the qualications described below.
■
Keep unqualied personnel away from hazardous areas.
Skilled personnel
Skilled personnel are understood to be personnel who, based on their technical training,
knowledge of measurement and control technology and on their experience and knowledge of
country-specic regulations, current standards and directives, are capable of carrying out the
work described and independently recognising potential hazards.
Special operating conditions require further appropriate knowledge, e.g. of aggressive media.
2.3 Additional safety instructions for instruments with ATEX and IECEx approvals
WARNING!
Non-observance of these instructions and their contents may result in the loss of
explosion protection.
2. Safety

GB
WARNING!
Follow the requirements of the 94/9/EC (ATEX) and IECEx directives.
Follow the respective national regulations concerning Ex-usage
(e.g. EN/IEC 60079-10 and EN/IEC 60079-14).
2.4 Special hazards
WARNING!
Observe the information given in the applicable type examination certicate and the
relevant country-specic regulations for installation and use in potentially explosive
atmospheres (e.g. EN/IEC 60079-14, NEC, CEC). Non-observance can result in
serious injury and/or damage to equipment.
For additional important safety instructions for instruments with ATEX/IECEx appro-
val, see chapter "2.3 Additional safety instructions for instruments with ATEX and
IECEx approvals".
WARNING!
For hazardous media such as oxygen, acetylene, ammable 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.
WARNING!
Protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD) required. The proper use of grounded
work surfaces and personal wrist straps is required when working with exposed
circuitry (printed circuit boards), in order to prevent static discharge from damaging
sensitive electronic components.
To ensure safe working on the instrument, the operating company must ensure
■
that suitable rst-aid equipment is available and aid is provided whenever required.
■
that the operating personnel are regularly instructed in all topics regarding work
safety, rst aid and environmental protection and know the operating instructions
and, in particular, the safety instructions contained therein.
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted instruments can result in a risk to persons, the environ-
ment and equipment. Take sucient precautionary measures.
Do not use this instrument in safety or Emergency Stop devices. Incorrect use of the
instrument can result in injury.
Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature and under
high pressure or vacuum may be present at the instrument.

3. Specications
3.1 Resistance thermometer
Sensor connection method
■
2-wire The lead resistance is recorded as an error in the measurement.
■
3-wire With a cable length longer than approx. 30 m, measuring errors can occur.
■
4-wire The internal lead resistance of the connecting wires is negligible.
Limiting error of the sensor per DIN EN 60751
■
Class B
■
Class A
■
Class AA
The combination of a 2-wire connection with Class A / Class AA is not permissible, since the lead
resistance of the measuring insert negates the higher sensor accuracy.
Basic values and limiting errors
Basic values and limiting errors for the platinum measurement resistances are laid down in
DIN EN 60751.
The nominal value of Pt100 sensors is 100 Ω at 0 °C.
The temperature coecient α can be stated simply to be between 0 °C and 100 °C with:
α = 3.85 ∙ 10-3 °C-1
The relationship between temperature and electrical resistance is described by polynomialss,
which are also dened in DIN EN 60751. Moreover, this standard species the basic values in °C
steps in tabular form.
