spill, the installation must have a redundant backup safety system installed.
 Wiring should always be completed by a licensed electrician
 Supply voltage should never exceed 28 VDC
 Always use stepper relays between the sensor and external loads. For DC
circuits use a catch diode such as 1N4148, as shown above.
 Protect the sensor from excessive electrical spikes by isolating the power,
whenever possible
 The sensor materials must be chemically compatible with the liquids to be
measured

Design a fail-safe system for possible sensor and/or power failure
 Never use the sensor in environments classified as Hazardous
