10. Faults / 11. Dismounting, return and disposal
In the case of critical installations, we recommend calculating the harmonic frequency of
the thermowell according to ASME PTC 19.3 or Dittrich/Klotter. This engineering service is
offered by WIKA.

CAUTION!
If faults cannot be eliminated by means of the measures listed above, shut
down the instrument immediately, and ensure that pressure and/or signal
are no longer present, and secure the instrument from being put back into
operation inadvertently.
In this case, contact the manufacturer.
If a return is needed, please follow the instructions given in
chapter 11.2 "Return".
11. Dismounting, return and disposal
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted instruments can result in a risk to persons, the
environment and equipment.
Take sufficient precautionary measures.
11.1 Dismounting
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
Let the instrument cool down sufficiently before dismounting it!
During dismounting there is a risk of dangerously hot pressure media
escaping.
Only disconnect the resistance thermometer and the thermowell once the system has been
depressurised!
