During work on and with the device, the required personal protective equipment must always be worn. Appropriate use The IPT-2x is a pressure transmitter for process pressure and hydro- static level measurement. You can find detailed information about the area of application in chapter "Product description". Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly used according to the specifications in the operating instructions manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
A Class 2 power supply unit has to be used for the installation in the USA and Canada. Exception: Versions with measuring ranges from 250 bar. These are subject of the EU Pressure Device Directive.

When quickly opening/closing the housing cover, the measured value can change for approx. 5 s by up to 15 mbar. For an effective ventilation, the filter element must be always free from buildup. In case of horizontal mounting, turn the housing so that the filter element points downward after the instrument is installed. This provides better protection against buildup. Caution: Do not use a high-pressure cleaner. The filter element could be dam- aged, which would allow moisture into the housing. The following paragraphs describe how the filter element is arranged in the different instrument versions. WIKA Operating Instructions - Process pressure transmitter IPT-2x...
