Process medium escaping from the leakage bores indicative of damage to the calibration chamber’s O- rings. This damage can be detected and repaired. The availability of safeguards is in part dependent on the version of the SensoGate WA131MH. Product Code, p. 12 ➜...
WA131MH by the rotary movement of the rotating collar. Some versions of the SensoGate WA131MH are screwed to process connections with a thread or se- cured with coupling nuts. A turning rotating collar or process-related vibrations may cause the process connection to accidentally come loose from the process or a coupling nut.
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 WA131MH to the cus- tomer’s process port. A locking lug on the retainer clamp engages in the groove of the coupling nut (form‑fit).

It is recommended that changes to the SensoGate WA131MH be carried out by the Knick Repair Service. After making the necessary changes, a functional and pressure test is carried out and, if neces- sary, a modified nameplate is attached.
• The required process parameters can be measured. When using versions of the 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.
SensoGate WA131MH Limit Switch Note: The limit switch is only available for versions of the SensoGate WA131MH with an electronic limit signal. Product Code, p. 12 ➜ 30 Ω 30 Ω The limit switch (1) is a “simple apparatus” in the meaning of EN 60079-11 for use in hazardous loca- tions up to Zone 0.
Dimension Drawings, p. 49 ➜ Note: The installation angle of the SensoGate WA131MH depends on the sensor type. An installa- tion angle of up to 10° above the horizontal plane is permissible for all sensor types. An installa- tion angle upside down (see view A) is only permitted if using sensors approved for upside-down operation.
Upside-Down Installation If installing the SensoGate WA131MH 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...
SensoGate WA131MH 3.4 Inlet Hose (Option): Installation NOTICE! Drinking water may be contaminated by rinse and process media when connecting to drink- ing water pipes. Observe the information contained in EN 1717. Install a suitable check valve (e.g., check valve RV01) at the water or rinse connection.
Follow the safety instructions. Safety, p. 5 ➜ Note: Upon request, Knick will provide safety briefings and product training during initial commis- sioning of the product. More information is available from the relevant local contacts. Install the SensoGate WA131MH.
5 Operation 5.1 Moving into the Process Position (PROCESS Limit Position) Note: When the process position (PROCESS limit position) is reached, this is indicated in different ways depending on the SensoGate WA131MH version. SERVICE/PROCESS Limit Positions, p. 19 ➜ Note: The safety lock button pops out when the process position (PROCESS limit position) is reached (see detail B).

SERVICE/PROCESS Limit Positions, p. 19 ➜ Note: The safety lock button pops out when the service position (SERVICE limit position) is reached (see detail B).
Note: The outlet is used to discharge trapped rinse medium and must not be closed. By moving the SensoGate WA131MH 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 WA131MH 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 WA131MH. 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 WA131MH into the service position (SERVICE limit position). Moving into the Service Position (SERVICE Limit Position), p.
Repeat the functional test every 12 months. As applicable, adjust the interval to match the specific application for which the SensoGate WA131MH is used. The intervals listed are approximate recommendations based on the experience of Knick. The actual intervals de- pend on the specific application.
