Precautions
Correct Use
Design
Effects of Surrounding Metal
Provide a minimum distance as shown in the table below between the Sensor and the surrounding metal.
l
Mounting
Do not apply excessive torque when tightening any nuts.
Note: Figures in parentheses are for an E2F used in combination with an E2F
(i.e., E2F-X@@@5) that is operating at a different frequency.
B
● Maintenance and Inspection
Do not use the AC 2-wire models (sensing surface is broken),
where directly exposed to water. There is fear of an electric
shock.
