Important Points:

• Gems products must be maintained and installed in strict accordance with the National Electrical Code and the
applicable Gems product instruction Bulletin that covers installation, operation and proper maintenance. Failure to
observe this information may result in serious injury or damages.

• The supply voltage to the sensor should not exceed 36 VDC, Max.

• Please adhere to the pressure and temperature limitations shown. 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 Gems products. Take
care in the proper selection of materials of construction, testing is required.

• Avoid over tightening when mounting.

• Life expectancy of switch contacts varies with application. Contact Gems if life cycle testing is required.

• Ambient temperature changes do affect switch set points, since the gravity of a liquid can vary with tempera­ture.

• Our sensors have been designed to resist shock and vibration. However, shock and vibration should be mini­mized.

• Electrical entries and mounting points in an enclosed tank may require liquid/vapor sealing.

• Our sensors must not be fi eld-repaired.

• Physical damage sustained by product may render it unserviceable.

This warranty may not be extended, altered or varied except by a written instrument signed by a duly-authorized offi cer
