WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum pressure
specified on the controller nameplate. Under
no circumstances should the controller
supply pressure ever exceed the maximum
psig.
Before beginning installation of the GEN II
•Read and follow instructions.
•Make sure all pressure has been removed
from the vessel before opening any connec
tions.
WARNING
If a level controller is used in a hazardous
or flammable fluid service, personal injury
and property damage could occur due to
fire or explosion of vented fluid that may
have accumulated. To prevent such injury
or damage, install piping or tubing to vent
the fluid to a safe, well-ventilated area
or containment vessel. When venting a
hazardous fluid, the piping or tubing should
be located far enough away from any
buildings or windows so as not to create
further hazard. The vent opening should
be protected against anything which could
obstruct it, or it should by connected to
exhaust tubing or tubing connected to a
vapor recovery system.
Vent
Periodically check the vent opening or
the end of the remote vent pipe, if one is
required. Be certain they are clear. If a vent
should become blocked the pilot could lose
control.
