SensoLock – Safety Function SensoGate WA 133 Optionally, the retractable fitting is equipped with the ‘SensoLock‘ safety function. The safety func- tion consists of a rotatable ring that mechanically blocks the travel movement of the retractable fitting. The ring can only be rotated when in SERVICE position. In PROCESS position and all inter- mediate positions the ring is secured.
Assembly SensoGate WA 133 Mounting the Retractable Fitting • Possible mounting angle 15° above horizontal • Mounting angle 360° (i.e. even upside down) for special sensors only containing thickened 15° 15° electrolytes which thus cannot flow. Installing the Outlet and Inlet Hoses NOTICE: Always install both hoses to ensure safe operation! To ensure safe operation of the retractable fitting, you must connect the inlet and outlet hoses and make sure that the cleaning and calibration solutions are collected!

3. Insert the sensor and screw in the sensor head (J) (19 mm A/F, PG 13.5 thread) with a max. torque of 3 Nm (recommended tool: 19 mm mounting wrench, e.g., Knick ZU 0647). Note: When tightening the sensor, you must overcome the elastic force of the internal sensor monitoring.
(process seal- ing might be defective). 4. Remove the sensor (recommended tool: 19 mm mounting wrench, e.g., Knick ZU 0647). 5. Check whether the slide washer (C) or the O-ring (D) are damaged. NOTICE: Glass Breakage!
3. Insert the sensor and screw in the sensor head (J) (19 mm A/F, PG 13.5 thread) with a max. torque of 3 Nm (recommended tool: 19 mm mounting wrench, e.g., Knick ZU 0647). Note: When tightening the sensor, you must overcome the elastic force of the internal sensor monitoring.
6. Disconnect the cable jack (G) from the sensor. 7. Screw off the sensor head (J) (19 mm, PG 13.5) and pull out the sensor (recommended tool: 19 mm mounting wrench, e.g., Knick ZU 0647). NOTICE: Glass Breakage! When replacing damaged sensors (glass...
Installing the Sensor Conditions: • Sensor: 250 mm, Ø 12 mm, e.g., Knick SE 551 • Air pressure in the sensor pressure chamber: 0.5 to 1 bar above that of the process medium to ensure that the electrolyte flows from the reference electrode to the process medium Note: Observe the user manual of the sensor.
Sensors with Liquid Electrolyte SensoGate WA 133 Removing the Sensor Before removing the sensor, make sure that the retractable fitting is in SERVICE position (see page 17 for information on installing or removing a sensor). 1. Remove the cable jack. 2.
Drive Unit SensoGate WA 133 Removing the Drive Unit NOTICE: No Process Pressure! Make sure that the fitting is disconnected from process pressure! Take appropriate safety precautions against escaping process fluids. Note: Follow the steps below in the correct order. 1.
Drive Unit SensoGate WA 133 Installing the Drive Unit Note: Follow the steps below in the correct order. 1. Insert the drive unit into the process adaptation (P) (in SERVICE position). The radial position of the drive unit is determined by a coding pin (O) in the calibration chamber and an opening (AJ) in the drive unit.
Immersion Tube SensoGate WA 133 The wetted part of the immersion tube is made of PTFE. The upper part of the immersion tube (T) is provided with a stainless steel endpiece with bayonet contour (U). This endpiece serves for con- necting the immersion tube to the drive unit of the retractable fitting.
Immersion Tube SensoGate WA 133 Removing the Immersion Tube Conditions: First, separate the immersion tube from the process adaptation (see “Removing the Drive Unit” chapter). 1. Move the drive unit to PROCESS position until the two screws (Z) become visible. Loosen the two screws (Z) using a screwdriver (TX 25) until they contact the stop at the immersion tube (see illustration).
Immersion Tube SensoGate WA 133 Installing the Immersion Tube Conditions: The retractable fitting must be in PROCESS position (see “PROCESS Position” chapter). 1. Push the O-ring (D) (sensor gasket) onto the sensor (A) as shown. 2. Note: Make sure that there is no further O-ring in the immersion tube (T) (installed by mistake).
Calibration Chamber SensoGate WA 133 Removing the Calibration Chamber 1. Screw off the outlet (AM) and inlet connectors (AV). Take off the loose flange if required. 2. Loosen and remove the two screws (AK) from the calibration chamber (using screwdriver TX25).
Calibration Chamber SensoGate WA 133 Installing the Calibration Chamber 1. Align the guiding edges (AI) of the calibration chamber (K) and insert it in the process adaptation (P). 2. Always secure the calibration chamber with both screws (AK). 3. Install the loose flange (LF) if required.

Maintenance SensoGate WA 133 NOTICE: Shut Off Process Medium, Process Pressure, and Compressed Air! Before starting maintenance work, you must separate the retractable fitting safely from the process: Make sure that it is disconnected from all process media and process pressure. Maintenance Intervals Due to the differing process conditions (pressure, temperature, chemically aggressive media etc.), we can only give recommendations for maintenance intervals.

Maintenance SensoGate WA 133 Sealing Kits for Maintenance and Servicing Note: The sealing kits come with detailed illustrations for installation. The new O-rings must be lubricated with the included lubricant. The sealing kits are available in different materials. The smaller sealing kits (“Set X/1”) only contain gaskets for direct contact with the process. The extended sealing kits (“Set X/2”) also include gaskets for contact with the rinse medium.
Accessories / Spare Parts SensoGate WA 133 Note: Use only accessories and spare parts from Knick or a company authorized by Knick. For ordering, use the part numbers beginning with F-ZU, e.g., F-ZU 0680. F-ZU 0680 SensoGate Service Set, Basic These tools are suitable for minor maintenance operations.
