    Never let the end of the sampling line touch or go under any liquid surface. If liquid is drawn into the device, readings will be inaccurate and device could be damaged. We recommend the use of an MSA sample probe containing a special membrane filter, permeable to gas but impermeable to water, to prevent such an occurrence.
