User’s

 

Responsibility

 

for

 

Safety:

   

Flowline

 

manufactures

 

a

 

wide

 

range

 

of

 

liquid

 

level

 

sensors

 

and

 

technologies.

  

While

 

each

 

of

 

these

 

technologies

 

are

 

designed

 

to

 

operate

 

in

 

a

 

wide

 

variety

 

of

 

applications,

 

it

 

is

 

the

 

user’s

 

responsibility

 

to

 

select

 

a

 

technology

 

that

 

is

 

appropriate

 

for

 

the

 

application,

 

install

 

it

 

properly,

 

perform

 

tests

 

of

 

the

 

installed

 

system,

 

and

 

maintain

 

all

 

components.

   

The

or

 

serious

 

injury.

  

 

Proper

 

Installation

 

and

 

Handling:

   

Only

 

properly

trained

 

staff

 

should

 

install

 

and/or

 

repair

 

this

 

product.

  

Use

 

a

 

proper

 

sealant

 

with

 

all

 

installations.

  

Always

 

check

 

for

 

leaks

 

prior

 

to

 

system

 

start

up.

 

 

Wiring

 

and

 

Electrical:

   

CAUTION:

   

A

 

supply

 

voltage

 

of

 

13

 

to

 

30

 

VDC

 

is

 

used

 

to

 

power

 

the

 

LD30

 

series

 

transmitter.

   

Electrical

 

wiring

 

of

 

the

 

sensor

 

should

 

be

 

performed

 

in

 

accordance

 

with

 

all

 

applicable

 

national,

 

state,

 

and

 

local

 

codes.

 

 

Temperature

 

and

 

Pressure:

  

The

 

LD30

 

series

 

is

 

designed

 

for

 

use

 

in

 

application

 

temperatures

 

from

 ‐

18°

 

to

 

93°C

 

(0°

 

to

 

200°F),

 

and

 

for

 

use

 

at

 

pressures

 

up

 

to

 

2

 

x

 

the

 

full

 

span

 

of

 

the

 

LD30

 

series.

 

 

Material

 

Compatibility:

   

The

 

Industrial

 

pressure

Make

 

sure

 

that

 

the

 

model

 

which

 

you

 

have

 

selected

 

is

 

chemically

 

compatible

 

with

 

the

 

application

 

liquids.

  

 

Flammable,

 

Explosive

 

and

 

Hazardous

 

Applications:

   

DO

 

NOT

 

USE

 

THE

Safe

 

System:

   

Design

 

a

 

fail

safe

 

system

 

that

 

accommodates

 

the

 

possibility

 

of

 

transmitter

 

failure

 

or

 

battery

 

power

 

loss.

   

In

 

critical
