1.1 General safety instructions
Responsibility for planning, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance,
and dismounting lies with the system operator.
Installation and commissioning of all devices must be performed by a trained
professional only.
Protection of operating personnel and the system is not ensured if the product is
not used in accordance with its intended purpose.
Laws and regulations applicable to the usage or the intended purpose must be
observed. The devices are only approved for appropriate and intended use.
Ignoring these instructions will void any warranty and absolve the manufacturer
from any liability.
The Declaration of Conformity, Certificate of Compliance, Statement of
Conformity, EC-type-examination certificate and data sheets are an integral part
of this document.
The data sheet contains the electrical data of the Declaration of Conformity, the
Certificate of Compliance and the EC-type-examination certificate.
The documents mentioned are available from http://www.pepperl-fuchs.com or

1.3 Declaration of Conformity
All products were developed and manufactured under observance of the
applicable European standards and guidelines.
Note!
A Declaration of Conformity can be requested from the manufacturer.
The product manufacturer, Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH, 68307 Mannheim, has a
certified quality assurance system that conforms to ISO 9001.
1.4 Intended Use
The fat level sensor KVF-F (referred to as "sensor" in the following sections) is a
suspended sensor for monitoring fat layer thickness in grease interceptors.
The sensor must always be connected to an warning device of type NVD-111
(see product program).

1.5 Delivery, Transport and Storage
Check the packaging and contents for damage.
Check if you have received every item and if the items received are the ones you
ordered.
Keep the original packaging. Always store and transport the device in the original
packaging.
Always store the device in a clean and dry environment. The permitted storage
temperature (see data sheet) must be considered.
1.6 Installation and Commissioning
1.6.1 Installation of the Sensor
The sensor and warning device must be free of voltage during installation and
maintenance. The warning device must only be connected to the supply voltage
after complete mounting and connection of the sensors.
The sensor has IP68 protection and is weather- and oil/fat-resistant. It can
therefore be installed in grease interceptors.
When installing the device in oil/petrol separators, observe the permissible
ambient temperature in the range from -20 °C ... 60 °C (253 K ... 333 K).
1.6.2 Sensor Cable
Sensor cables must not be installed in cable or conductor bundles together with
other current circuits. Avoid installing sensor cables parallel to other cables that
may transmit interfering signals, which impair the sensor signal and thus the
alarm function. The sensor itself must not be grounded.
If you extend the sensor cable, observe the applicable specifications with regard
to color, quality and durability. Use unshielded cables.
1.7 Maintenance
For operation of grease interceptors, there may be standards, directives or laws
that define regular system or sensor tests. Check the operation of the sensor at
least twice a year and more frequently in the event of unfavorable environmental
conditions.
When the grease interceptor is being emptied (disposal), the sensor must always
be washed and dried. The sensor must not be cleaned with caustic fluids. A badly
contaminated sensor can trip a wrong alarm or, in certain circumstances, fail to
trip an alarm.
1.8 Repair
The devices must not be repaired, changed or manipulated.
If there is a defect, the product must always be replaced with an original device.
