practices.
Electrical shock could cause death or serious injury.
•
Ground device on non-metallic tanks (e.g. fiberglass tanks) to prevent electrostatic
charge build-up.
•
Single lead probes are sensitive for strong electromagnetic fields and therefore not
suitable for non-metallic tanks.
•
Care must be taken during transportation of power module to prevent electrostatic
charge build-up.
•
Device must be installed to ensure a minimum antenna separation distance of 8 in. (20
cm) from all persons.
