5 INSTALLATION EC Directive 89/336/EEC In order to meet the requirements of the EC Directive 89/336/EEC for EMC regulations, this product must not be used in a non-industrial environment. End of Life Disposal This instrument does not contain any substance that will cause undue harm to the environment.
DATUM L160 Notes. • Sensor cable runs over long distances can pick up transients which could impair operation L160. Transient protection within the L160 Level System gives protection against induced voltage transients of up to 2kV. • In high humidity environments, condensation must be prevented from entering any sensor vent (breather) tubes.
