During installation, take great care not to bend the probe tube,
and protect the float from shock and impact loads.
Installing a level sensor in areas exposed to a powerful external magnetic
field is not recommended because this could impair gauging.
The level sensor can also be fitted into the tank from underneath.
If the float is removed during installation, it must be slid back onto the
probe tube afterwards with the "TOP" marking oriented towards the
sensor head end, to enable correct measurements to be made.
