“operating company”) may be conducted, subject to the requirements set forth herein, by placing the product into the service position (SERVICE limit position). If the product is used with any product or part not authorized by Knick, the operating company assumes all risks and liabilities related thereto.
Product Code, p. 12 ➜ The immersion lock can be seen at the yellow indicator ring on the drive unit of the SensoGate WA130H. If the yellow indicator ring is missing, the safeguard func- tion is not available. A mechanical lock prevents the SensoGate WA130H with- out a mounted solid-electrolyte sensor from being moved into the process position (PROCESS limit position).
Safety Accessories, p. 8 ➜ Operating the SensoGate WA130H 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.
The retainer clamp prevents the coupling nut of the Ingold socket (25 mm) screw joint from accidentally coming loose. The wires of the retainer clamp connect the SensoGate WA130H to the cus- tomer’s process port. A locking lug on the retainer clamp engages in the groove of the coupling nut (form‑fit).

In the event of a change to the version, the product must be identified accordingly. It is recommended that changes to the SensoGate WA130H be carried out by the Knick Repair Service. After making the necessary changes, a functional and pressure test is carried out and, if necessary, a modified nameplate is attached.
The SensoGate WA130H can assume two limit positions (service or process position). Note: The SensoGate WA130H is only disconnected from the process in the service position (SERVICE limit position). This is not the case in any other position, i.e., there remains contact with the process.

The process analysis system may typically comprise the following products: • Protos industrial transmitter •...
Dimension Drawings, p. 51 ➜ Note: The installation angle of the SensoGate WA130H depends on the sensor type. An installa- tion angle of up to 10° above the horizontal plane is permissible for all sensor types. An installation angle upside down (see view A) is only permitted if using sensors approved for upside-down oper- ation.
Upside-Down Installation If installing the SensoGate WA130H upside down, lay the outlet hose in an arc above the level of the calibration chamber. This prevents gravity from causing the calibration chamber to leak. 1 Calibration chamber...
“Media Connection” for Operation With Process Analysis System When using a Knick process analysis system, all media cables and the connecting cable for limit signals are combined in one hose, the media connection (2). The media connection is connected to the SensoGate WA130H using a shared connector, the multiplug (1).
3.5.2 Multiplug: Installation Check the gaskets and O‑rings of the multiplug (1) for correct positioning and damage, and replace them if necessary. Troubleshooting, p. 41 ➜ Position and connect the multiplug (1) to the SensoGate WA130H. Fasten the multiplug (1) with two screws (2).
Optional: Ensure that installed safety accessories (e.g., ZU0818 retainer clamp) are securely fastened. Safety Accessories, p. 8 ➜ If using the product in hazardous locations, check that the SensoGate WA130H is correctly con- nected to the plant’s equipotential bonding system.

5.1 Moving into the Process Position (PROCESS Limit Position) WARNING! Process, rinse, or additional media, potentially containing hazardous substances, may escape from the SensoGate WA130H. Only move the SensoGate WA130H into the process posi- tion (PROCESS limit position) if a sensor is installed.
Note: The outlet is used to discharge trapped rinse medium and must not be closed. By moving the SensoGate WA130H to the limit positions, pressurized process medium may enter the calibration chamber. When the outlet is closed, this process medium may be compressed and splash out during a sensor replacement.
Note: Rinse the sensor prior to removal in order to prevent entrainment of chemically aggressive process medium in the area of the sensor holders. Move the SensoGate WA130H into the service position (SERVICE limit position). Moving into the Service Position (SERVICE Limit Position), p.
Push in the sensor (3). Note: In the case of inclined installation, turn the electrolyte filling hole towards the top to prevent electrolyte from flowing out during operation of the SensoGate WA130H. Observe any deviating direction of installation specified by the sensor manufacturer.
Note: Rinse the sensor prior to removal in order to prevent entrainment of chemically aggressive process medium in the area of the sensor holders. Move the SensoGate WA130H into the service position (SERVICE limit position). Moving into the Service Position (SERVICE Limit Position), p.
NOTICE! In the event of a malfunction, pressurized process medium, potentially containing hazard- ous substances, may escape from the SensoGate WA130H. Loosen the sensor no more than a maxi- mum of 1.5 turns to ensure that pressure resistance is still available in the event of a malfunction.
To check the function of the immersion lock, the situation of a missing sensor is simulated. Note: The functional test is only available for a SensoGate WA130H with the safeguard “Immersion Lock Without a Mounted Liquid-Electrolyte Sensor”. The safeguard can be seen at the yellow indicator ring (2)

SensoGate WA130H ZU0717 (Straight) Weld-In Socket for Boiler Walls Process connection: Ingold socket (Ø 25 mm, G1¼) Weld-in sockets with an HSD (Handling Safety Design) safety function feature spe- cial grooves on the sealing surface for the process connection O-ring. These grooves prevent the O-ring from sealing if the Ingold coupling nut loosens inad- vertently when process pressure is present.
The retainer clamp ZU0818 prevents the coupling nut of the Ingold socket (25 mm) screw joint from accidentally coming loose. The wires of the retainer clamp connect SensoGate WA130H to the customer’s process port. A locking lug on the retainer clamp engages in the groove of the coupling nut (form-fit).
