1. General items
1.1 Introduction
WISE Control Inc. temperature sensors and thermowells are precisely fabricated according to
customer specifications. The ETR10 series(R950) is an explosion-proof product designed to be used
in Zone 1(Ex e), Zone 0(Ex ia) with IECEx and ATEX certification. The product come in a variety of
types –basic, spring-loaded, remote type, extension lead wire type–and can be selected and used
accordingly to the usage environment. The products must be tested and stored in appropriate
locations, and the requirements provided in the documentation, test reports and handling manuals,
etc., must be adhered to in order to maintain optimum state during the duration of use.
1.2 Application
Temperature sensors are used for temperature measurements in various processes. Measured values
are used for indication, recording and control in control panels or process systems. Depending on the
process situation, an appropriate thermowell may be selected and used, or a temperature sensor may
be inserted directly into a pipe without a thermowell. The thermowell is designed to protect a
thermometer or temperature sensor from fluid flow velocity, pressure and corrosion, etc., inside pipes.
The design prevents leakage of fluid from inside the pipe when a malfunctioning sensor is being
replaced. The user is responsible for selecting the appropriate thermowell for the process at hand.
WISE Control Inc. may provide advice when selecting products, but will not be held liable for mis-
selection of product.
1.3 Warranty
If one causes damage to the product due to failures to comply with the user manual, or if one
arbitrarily remodels it, changes or repairs the product, the manufacturer will not be responsible for it,

4. Design
4.1 Structure
4.1.1 Basic type
Explosion proof products are resistance against pressure and explosion. The enclosure is designed to
withstand the pressure of explosive gases or vapors exploding inside, and to prevent combustion due
to explosive gases or vapors outside the enclosure through joints and lead-ins. The basic type of the
products are comprised of a detector unit and process connection unit welded together. An appropriate
process connection unit may be selected and used depending on the installation environment. The
temperature sensor may be installed by inserting directly, or together with a thermowell appropriate to
the use environment.
4.1.2 Spring loaded type
In the spring-loaded type, a spring is installed inside the head, and the load from the spring allows the
sensor to maintain maximum contact. Detection response time is faster compared to the basic type.
Spring-loaded type sensors are not sealed to allow for movement of the detector unit, and are typically
installed together with a thermowell appropriate to the use environment. When installing the
temperature sensor directly, contact between the process fluid and temperature sensor should be
avoided, or a sealed type sensor should be used instead
4.1.3 Remote type
In the remote type, an extension table extends out beneath the head and is connected to a sheathed
cable The actual measuring element is inside the sheathed cable, and the distance between the head
and measuring element can be selected according to the installation location. The extension cable is
typically insulated stainless steel. Depending on the installation environment, a wall-mount bracket or
2” bracket may be used.
4.1.4 Extended lead wire type
The extended lead wire type does not have a head or terminal block, and is comprised of an extension
cable and sheathed cable. The cable may be insulated stainless steel, or sheathed with PVC, Teflon or
copper braid depending on the use environment.

5. Installation guide
5.1 Pre-installation checks and precautions
1) Beware of disconnection of the lead wire during storage and transport.
2) Check for disconnection using a tester prior to installation of the product.
3) Use a Megger (Megohmmeter) to measure and confirm that insulation resistance is within normal
range prior to installation of the product.
4) When transporting the sensor assembly to the tank and attaching to the nozzle, avoid applying
external physical force (compression, impact, etc.) on the sheathed cable (MI cable).
5) Check that the protection cover and thermocouple are free of scratches, cut marks, oil or other
contaminants.
(Even tiny amounts of foreign matter can decrease the accuracy of measurements.)
5.2 Installation requirement
1) Do not pull on or push the sheathed cable (MI cable) when installing or disassembling the product.
2) For products attached to comp’ fittings, do not loosen screws during operation. Attach the comp’
fittings to the temperature sensor prior to installation.
3) For products attached to comp’ fittings, be careful not to pull or turn the sheathed cable (MI cable)
when attaching or detaching components with the product in an assembled state. (Can be the cause
of leaks)
4) When installing a temperature sensor in an existing thermowell, inspect the inside of the thermowell
for obstructions before inserting the temperature sensor to prevent damage to the temperature
sensor or sparks due to friction during installation.
5) When installing in direct contact with the process, check that the external loads applied to not cause
deformation of the instrumentation and welded parts.

15
C-QIM-2731-T08_EN_Rev.12
6) Additional load and vibration from other elements of the plant can impact the operation of sensor
components. Load from installation in areas with vibration may damage the operation of the sensor
element.
7) The end user must ensure that the instrumental has been appropriately installed so that the allowed
limits are not exceeded.
*Note.
Please consult the thermowell manual for temperature sensor installation conditions and installation
locations.

6. Wiring
6.1 Extension & compensation wire
This type of cable used for temperature measurement.A wire of the same material (extension) as the
thermocouple(TC) or a material having thermoelectric power characteristics as the thermocouple(TC)
is extended to the terminal of the instrument. A compensation wire provides the same temperature
compensation effect as an extension of the thermocouple(TC). Depending on the use environment
and conditions, different insulation and sheathing materials may be used, including low-temperature,
high-temperature, humidity-resistant, oil-resistant, and flex-resistant materials.
6.1.1 Thermocouple(TC)
The wire is made of the same material as the thermocouple(TC), and indicates the same
temperature measurement as the thermocouple(TC).
Temperature is measured using the change in voltage (㎶) according to temperature changes.
Therefore, sufficient consideration must be given to voltage drop when selecting the unit.
6.1.2 Resistance thermometer detector(RTD)
Temperature is measured using the change in resistance (Ω) according to temperature.
Resistance thermometer detector (RTD) cables are selected as 3-wire or 4-wire, and one end of
the shielding wire must be grounded.

C-QIM-2731-T08_EN_Rev.12
3) The external covering material must be selected appropriately for the installation environment.
4) If there are outdoor wiring sections, do not use glass sheathing. Humidity may reduce
insulation resistance and cause measuring errors.
5) Cables shall be protected from damage such as breakage or cutting by the surrounding
environment.
6) Exercise caution to prevent folding or knitting of cable.
6.2 Precaution for wiring
1) Make sure to cut off power before wiring product with an explosion proof grade.
2) Connect thermocouples (TC) after checking polarity (+/-). Wire resistance temperature detectors
(RTD) after disconnecting the A/B/B (3-wire) terminal.
3) Attach the end of the compensation wire and cable to the terminal block using crimp terminals.
Tightly fasten the screws.
4) When wiring to a transmitter, adhere to the wiring instructions given in the user manual for the
transmitter.
5) For equipment with an explosion proof grade, make sure the cover does not open during
operation. Tighten the locking apparatus.
6) Earthing
- Use aluminum earthing terminals to prevent corrosion.
- Use 304SS earthing bolts.
- Use spring washers to prevent loosening of the earthing terminals.
- When using external earthing terminals, check the connectors and use an appropriate earthing line.
7) After making the connections, inspect to ensure that the power supply and signal cables have
been connected properly.
