Activating The Radio Module - WIKA PGW23.100.11 Betriebsanleitung

6. Commissioning, operation
Protection of the pressure elements from overload
If the medium is subject to rapid changes in pressure, or pressure surges are expected,
then these must not act directly on the pressure element. The action of the pressure
surges must be dampened, for example with the fitting of a throttle section (reduction in
cross-section in the pressure port) or through the addition of an adjustable snubber.
EN
Measuring line
The measuring lines must be as short as possible and should be arranged without
sharp radii in order to avoid any disruptive time lags. When routing these lines, a steady
inclination of approx. 1:15 is recommended.
The measuring line should be designed and installed so that the loads occurring due to
expansion, vibration and thermal effects can be absorbed. With gaseous media, a drain
should be provided at the lowest point; with liquid media, a vent should be provided at the
highest point.
The measuring instruments must be mounted in the common mounting position per
EN 837-1, with a max. permissible incline of 5° on all sides.
Antenna
The antenna on the top of the radio module must be screwed on with a maximum torque
of 0.55 Nm.
If there is no tool available with a torque limitation of approx. 0.5 Nm that is
suitable for tightening an SMA connector, tighten the antenna connection by
hand and do not use a spanner or pliers.
The antenna must be screwed on fully.
■
Ensure that the antenna is not tilted or bent.
■
When fitting an antenna with an extended cable, ensure that the entire length of the
■
antenna is securely attached and does not obstruct personnel or the environment.
Ensure that the antenna connection, as well as the mounting thread in the radio
■
module provided for the antenna, are dry and free of contamination.

Activating the radio module

The instrument is delivered in a storage mode so that the current consumption is as low
as possible and to deactivate the LoRa
The complete commissioning is made by setting the model PGW23.100.11 into the active
mode (→ see chapter 6.6.1 "Operating modes of the LoRaWAN® functionality"). This
ensures the activation of the LoRa
1. Install the "myWIKA wireless device" app (→ see chapter 6.3 "App "myWIKA wireless
device"").
2. In the app, select the "Instrument functions" button.
3. Select "Activate instrument" and hold the mobile device up to the NFC symbol
on the plastic case of the measuring instrument.
