All operations described in this instruction manual have to be carried out by trained person-

nel or by an accredited person only. Warranty and post warranty service must be exclusively 

carried out by the manufacturer.
Improper use, installation or set-up of the sensor can lead to crashes in the application, 

(overfilling of the tank or damage of system components).
The manufacturer is not responsible for improper use, loss of work caused by either direct 

or indirect damage, and for expenses incurred at the time of installation or during the period 

of use of the level sensors.
