Mount the switch so that the battery side is accessible.



Clearance of 2

On the circuit side of the electronics housing, provide 0.75 in. (19 mm) of

clearance for units without an LCD display. Three inches of clearance is

required for cover removal if an LCD display is installed.

The housing can be rotated for optimal viewing of the optional LCD display



and to get the best antenna position (see

page

5).

Always ensure a proper seal by installing the electronics housing cover(s) so



that metal contacts metal. Use Rosemount O-rings.

Always ground the housing in accordance with national and local electrical



codes. The most effective grounding method for the housing is a direct

connection to earth ground with minimal impedance.

Avoid installing near liquid entering the tank at the fill point.



Avoid heavy splashing on the forks.



Avoid installing near heat sources.



Ensure the fork does not come into contact with a tank/pipe wall or fittings.



Allow a distance between product build-up and level switch fork
