SensoLock Optionally, the WA 130 H is equipped with a SensoLock ring. SensoLock securely blocks the retractable fitting in SERVICE position. Turning the SensoLock ring to “LOCK“ position mechanically locks the internal lift piston and thus prevents the retractable fitting from moving to PROCESS position.
Installing the Media Connection Using the media connection and the Unical® 9000(X) probe controller with multiplug 1) Screw mounting bracket (A) of media connec- tion to holding bracket (B) of retractable fitting. One of three possible arrangements is shown here. (3 x 2 threaded holes on the holding bracket (B) allow 3 different arrangements of the hose.) 2) Screw multiplug (C) of the media connection to...
Identifying the SERVICE Position SensoGate® WA 130 H Retractable Fitting Solid-electrolyte sensor Liquid-electrolyte sensor SERVICE position – SERVICE position – indicated by the sensor indicated by the rubber connector (A) protruding bellows (A) being expanded out of the drive unit.
Identifying the PROCESS Position SensoGate® WA 130 H Retractable Fitting Short immersion depth Short immersion depth Solid-electrolyte sensor Liquid-electrolyte sensor PROCESS position – PROCESS position – indicated by the sensor indicated by the rubber bellows (B) being connector not protruding compressed.
Installing and Removing a Sensor SensoGate® WA 130 H Retractable Fitting Sensors must only be installed or removed by trained personnel authorized by the operating company. Make sure that the retractable fitting is in SERVICE position (see “Function Description” on Page 10). Be sure to follow the assembly instructions step by step.
Installing a Gel-Electrolyte Sensor Installing the sensor ZU 0647 1) The sensor must only be installed in SERVICE position. 2) Use appropriate sensors (A) only: Diameter: 12 mm Length: 225 mm Observe pressure resistance of the sensor. 3) Check whether slide washer (C) or O-ring (D) on the sensor are damaged.
Page 19
Installing a Gel-Electrolyte Sensor 5) Connect cable socket with cable (G). Hold the cable in a loop and fix it using clamp (E). CAUTION! The cable loop must be long enough so that the cable does not impede the stroke movement of the fitting. 6) Connect equipotential bonding cable to terminal (F) (if required).
Removing a Gel-Electrolyte Sensor Removing the sensor 1) The sensor must only be removed in SERVICE position. 2) Remove cable socket with cable (G) 3) Before removing the sensor, check that there is no liquid leaking from the outlet (process sealing might be defective).
Installing a Liquid-Electrolyte Sensor You can use sensors with a length of 250 mm and a diameter of 12 mm, e.g. Knick SE551. To ensure that the electrolyte flows from the reference electrode to the process medium, the air pressure in the sensor pressure chamber must be 0.5 to 1 bar above that of the process medium. Compressed-air connection (U) for sensor pressure chamber via connection nipple (dia.
Removing a Liquid-Electrolyte Sensor Removing the sensor 1) The sensor must only be removed in SERVICE position. 2) Remove cable socket with cable. 3) Before removing the sensor, check that there is no liquid leaking from the outlet (process sealing might be defective).
Maintenance Work on the Drive Unit SensoGate® WA 130 H Retractable Fitting The drive unit must be removed, for example: • for general maintenance or inspection • to clean the calibration chamber, e.g. after a sensor has broken • to change the sensor / calibration-chamber gaskets •...
Removing the Drive Unit Step-by-Step Instructions CAUTION: Be sure to follow the steps below in the correct order. Take appropriate safety precautions against escaping process fluids. 1) Move probe into SERVICE position. 2) Make sure that no process fluid is leaking from the outlet (I). 3) If required, remove sensor as described in section “Installing and Removing a Sensor”...
Installing the Drive Unit Step-by-Step Instructions CAUTION: Be sure to follow the steps below in the correct order. 1) Insert the drive unit (in SERVICE position) into the process unit (P). The radial position of the drive unit is determined by a coding pin (O) in the calibration chamber and an opening (C) in the drive unit.
Replacing the Immersion Tube The immersion tube must be removed or replaced: • for general maintenance • for cleaning the immersion tube, e.g. after the sensor is broken • for replacing the sensor gasket (O-ring) • in the event of a technical fault of the drive unit WARNING! To separate the retractable fitting safely from the process, make sure that it is disconnected from all process media and process pressure.
Installing the Immersion Tube 1) Push the O-ring (D) (sensor gasket) onto the sensor (E) as shown. Note: Make sure that there is no further O-ring in the immersion tube (T) (installed by mistake). (For O-ring dimensions, see Page 44 “Sealing kits for maintenance and servicing”) 2) Loosen the two screws (Z) by approx.
Removing and Installing the Calibration Chamber To separate the calibration chamber, you require ZU 0754 or ZU 0740 Service Set (see Accessories). We recommend the ZU 0746 and ZU 0747 mounting aids for proper mounting of the gaskets and scraper rings. 1) Remove the screws (screwdriver TX25).

Maintenance Intervals SensoGate® WA 130 H As a result of highly variable process conditions (pressure, temperature, chemically aggressive media etc.), general information on necessary maintenance intervals is difficult to provide. If proven experience from similar points of measurement with regard to materials used and their resistance unter process conditions is available, the maintenance intervals can be adjusted by the customer.
Lubricants, O-Rings SensoGate® WA 130 H For fittings used in the chemical industry, the lubricant Syntheso Glep1 (silicone-free) is applied. For fittings used in the pharmaceutical / food industry (when FDA conformity is required), the lubricant Beruglide L (silicone-free) is applied (registered according to NSF-H1). On request, the lubricant Paraliq GTE 703 can be applied (excellent lubricating properties also at increased temperatures and for a large number of travel movements).
