● Do not open the sensor when on top of the tank. Ensure you are on the ground. ● The sensor contains internal batteries. Do not open the unit enclosure unless the area is

known to be free of ignitable concentrations. ● Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.

ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures.

● The sensor is intended for fixed installation, where the installation is intended to minimize the risk from ESD.

Locate and mark suitable position on the tank for the sensor.

1. Sensor must be mounted horizontally, not at an angle on pitched roof tanks

2. Sensor to the maximum liquid level distance must be greater than 300mm. Max liquid level is often the bottom of the overflow.

3. Sensor horizontal distance to the tank wall must be greater than 500mm

4. On corrugated roofs, mount on the top of the corrugation, not in the channel

5. Drill a 50mm hole at the marked location For your safety, stay on the ladder. Tank manufacturers do not recommend climbing on the tank roof.
