    1.1 Intended Use SensoGate WA131MH is a retractable fitting for installation in boilers, tanks, and pipes. The product is used to accommodate a sensor for measuring process parameters. SensoGate WA131MH allows the sensor to move into the process medium.
  • Page 6: Safeguards

    Immersion Lock Without a Mounted Solid-Electrolyte Sensor A mechanical lock prevents a SensoGate WA131MH without a mounted solid-electrolyte sensor from being moved into the PROCESS position. The safety lock button cannot be depressed. The rotating collar is mechanically locked and cannot be rotated.
  • Page 7: Residual Risks

    Safety Accessories, p. 7 ➜ Operating SensoGate WA131MH without a retainer or locking clamp is at the risk of the operating company. The operating company must take action to rule out the possibility of the screw joint cou- pling nut accidentally loosening.

    It is recommended that changes to the SensoGate WA131MH are carried out by the Knick Repair Ser- vice. After making the necessary changes, a functional and pressure test is carried out and, if neces- sary, a modified nameplate is attached.
  • Page 18: Limit Positions

    • The desired process parameters can be measured. When using versions of SensoGate WA131MH with electronic limit signal, a contact is closed when a limit position is reached at the limit switch. An electrical signal, e.g. at the control center, can be dis- played when the limit position is reached.
  • Page 19: Limit Switch

    SensoGate WA131MH 2.7.2 Limit Switch Note: The limit switch is only available on versions of SensoGate WA131MH with electronic limit signal. Product Code, p. 11 ➜ The limit switch (1) is a “simple apparatus” as defined in EN 60079-11 for use in explosive atmospheres up to Zone 0.
  • Page 20: Installation

    Ensure the required sensor installation clearances. Dimension Drawings, p. 48 ➜ Fasten the SensoGate WA131MH to the process port using the process connection. Optional: If using the product in explosive atmospheres, connect the grounding connection of SensoGate WA131MH to the plant’s equipotential bonding system.
  • Page 21: Outlet Hose: Installation

    SensoGate WA131MH 3.3 Outlet Hose: Installation Note: The outlet is used to drain trapped process medium and must not be closed. By moving the sen- sor to the respective limit positions, pressurized process medium can enter the calibration chamber and be compressed when the outlet is closed. This process medium may splash out during sensor re- placement.
