Maintenance:

Sensor may require a periodic cleaning of prism surface. A mild detergent may be

used to clean prism surface.

This product complies with EN61326 Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control

and Laboratory use - EMC Requirements for Minimum Requirements and Industrial

Locations. Special caution should be taken to meet EN61000-4-5 Surge Immunity if

any of the following conditions apply to the installation: The product is installed

outside; the cable is greater than 30 meters in length. In order to meet the Surge

Immunity requirements, the following conditions must be followed during installation:

1. Shielded cable must be used, and the shield must be tied to earth ground (not

power supply ground) on at least one end of the cable shield/drain

wire. The shield must be maintained all the way from sensor to the

power supply.

2. If unshielded cable is used, an earth grounded metal conduit can

be used to replace the shielded cable.

3. For the sensor with metal body or enclosure the body/enclosure must be ground-

ed to earth. If a protective metal housing is used, the metal housing should be

grounded to earth.

4. If a protective plastic housing is used, the housing must be able to withstand at

least 2 kV from the housing to earth ground.

Important Points:

· Omega products must be maintained and installed in strict accordance with the

National Electrical Code and the applicable Omega Product Instruction Bulletin that

covers installation, operation and proper maintenance. Failure to observe this infor-

mation may result in serious injury or damages.

· For hazardous area applications involving such things as, but not limited to, ignita-

ble mixtures, combustible dust and flammable materials, use an appropriate explo-

sionproof enclosure or intrinsically safe interface device.

· Please adhere to the pressure and temperature limitations shown throughout this

catalog for our level and flow sensors. 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 Omega products. Take care in the proper selection of materials of

construction, testing is required.

· Our sensors have been designed to resist shock and vibration. However, shock

and vibration should be minimized.

· Filter liquid media containing particulate and/or debris to ensure the proper opera-

tion of our products.

· Electrical entries and mounting points in an enclosed tank may require liquid/

vaporsealing.

· Our sensors must not be field-repaired.

· Physical damage sustained by product may render it unserviceable.
