General Safety:
CAUTION!
It is essential that all instructions in this man-
ual be followed to ensure proper operation of the equip-
ment and safety of operating personnel. Use of equipment
in a manner not specified by the manufacturer may impair
protection provided by the equipment. The use of this
symbol is used within this manual to highlight important
safety issues. Please pay particular attention to these
items.
Electrical Shock Caution:
The
Vibra
Rod
™ level sensor can be powered with HIGH
VOLTAGE. No operator serviceable parts are inside. All
servicing is to be performed by qualified personnel.
Extreme care shall be taken if the unit’s cover is removed
and live electrical terminations are exposed. To avoid
electrical shock, do not contact any exposed electrical
connections. Each unit is provided with a “protective
ground” connection, which shall be terminated to earth
ground potential. This terminal shall be used to reduce
shock hazard in the unlikely event of internal insulation
breakdown.
EMC Emissions:
