Electrical Connections, Usage and Safety 
 

 

Where personal safety or significant property damage can occur due to a spill, the installation must 
have a redundant backup safety system. 
 

 

Wiring should always be completed by a licensed electrician. 
 

 

The sensor supply voltage should never exceed 28 VDC. 

 

 

Do not exceed 28 VDC (28 VDC/VAC for DS14 series only) power on the sensor relays. 

 

 

Always use stepper relays between the sensor and external loads. For DC circuits use a catch diode 
such as 1N4148 shown above. 

 

 

Protect the sensor from electrical spikes by isolating the power. 

 

 

The sensor must be chemically compatible with the application. 

 

 

Design a fail-safe system for possible sensor and/or power failure. 

 

 

Never use the sensor in environments classified as hazardous.
