ture of such products.

This warranty covers only those components of the products which are 
non-moving and not subject to normal wear. Moreover, products which are 
modified or altered, and electrical cables which are cut to length during 
installation are not covered by this warranty.

Gems’ obligation under this warranty is solely and exclusively limited to the

thereof) which Gems’ examination proves to its satisfaction to be defective. 
Gems SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES 
TO PERSONAL OR REAL PROPERTY, OR FOR INJURY TO ANY PERSON.

This warranty does not apply to products which have been subject to 
improper use, accident, negligence, abuse or misuse. Abuse shall be assumed 
when indicated by electrical damage to relays, reed switches or other 
components. The warranty does not apply to products which are damaged 
during shipment back to Gems’ factory or designated service center or 
are returned without the original casing on the products. Moreover, this 
warranty becomes immediately null and void if anyone other than service 
personnel authorized by Gems attempts to repair the defective products.
Equipment sold by Gems Sensors Inc. not intended for use in a nuclear

Important Points:

• Gems products must be maintained and installed in strict accordance with the National Electrical Code and the applicable Gems product instruction Bul-
letin that covers installation, operation and proper maintenance. Failure to observe this information may result in serious injury or damages.
• The supply voltage to the sensor should not exceed 36 VDC, Max.
• Please adhere to the pressure and temperature limitations shown. These limitations must not be exceeded. These pressures and temperatures take into 
consideration possible system surge pressures/temperatures and their frequencies.
• Selection of materials for compatibility with the media is critical to the life and operation of Gems products. Take care in the proper selection of materials 
of construction, testing is required.
• Avoid over tightening when mounting.
• Life expectancy of switch contacts varies with application. Contact Gems if life cycle testing is required.
• Ambient temperature changes do affect switch set points, since the gravity of a liquid can vary with temperature.
• Our sensors have been designed to resist shock and vibration. However, shock and vibration should be minimized.
• Electrical entries and mounting points in an enclosed tank may require liquid/vapor sealing.
• Our sensors must not be field-repaired.
• Physical damage sustained by product may render it unserviceable.
