Safety Precautions
Read this manual carefully and make sure you understand its contents before using this product.
Follow all instructions and safety guidelines presented in this manual when using this product.
If the user does not follow these instructions properly, Varec cannot guarantee the safety of the
system.
Note Comply with all applicable regulations, codes, and standards. For safety precautions,
the user should refer to the appropriate industry or military standards.
Caution! Electrical Hazard! Read and understand static and lightning electrical protection
and grounding described in API 2003. Make certain that the tank installation, operation,
and maintenance conforms with the practice set forth therein.
Warning! Striking the gauge head with a metal object could cause a spark to occur. When
removing or replacing the gauge head in flammable or hazardous liquid storage areas, take
necessary measures to protect the gauge head from impact.
Warning! Volatile fumes may be present! Make certain that the tank is empty and not in
service. Ensure that the tank has been leak and pressure tested as appropriate for the liquid
to be stored. Observe appropriate safety precautions in flammable or hazardous liquid
storage areas. Do not enter a tank that has contained hydrocarbons, vapors, or toxic
materials, until a gas-free environment is certified. Carry breathing equipment when
entering a tank where oxygen may be displaced by carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or other gases.
Wear safety glasses as appropriate. Use a hard hat.
Warning! Sparks or static charge could cause fire or explosion! The mechanical
connections between the guide cables, the float, the tape, and the gaugehead provide a
resistance to ground that is adequate for the safe electrical drain of electrostatic charges
that may accumulate in the tank and the product. Worker activity and worker clothing may
accumulate electrostatic charges on the body of a worker. Care should be used in
flammable environments to avoid the hazard.
Warning! Broken negator motor spring pieces can cause injury when the back cover of the
gauge head is removed! Whenever the back cover is removed, stand to one side as the last
bolt is removed.
