SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Step Three
About this Manual: PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL PRIOR TO INSTALLING OR USING THIS PRODUCT.
This manual includes information on the PodView® series level indicator from FLOWLINE, LI40 series. Please
refer to the part number located on the switch label to verify the exact model configuration, which you have
purchased.
User’s Responsibility for Safety: FLOWLINE manufactures a broad range of level sensing technologies. While
each of these sensors is designed to operate in a wide variety of applications, it is the user’s responsibility to
select a sensor model that is appropriate for the application, install it properly, perform tests of the installed
system, and maintain all components. The failure to do so could result in property damage or serious injury.
Proper Installation and Handling: Only professional staff should install and/or repair this product. Install
the level indicator with the included locking nut and never over tighten the indicator within the installation.
Always check for leaks prior to system start‐up.
Wiring and Electrical: A supply voltage of 12 to 28 VDC is used to power the PodView® and the EchoPod®
sensor. Electrical wiring of the transmitter should be performed in accordance with all applicable national, state,
and local codes.
Material Compatibility: The enclosure is made of Polycarbonate (PC) with the Cable made of
Polyurethane and the Buttons made of silicon rubber. Make sure that the model, which you have selected, is
chemically compatible with the application media.
Enclosure: While the level indicator housing is liquid‐resistant the PodView® is not designed to be
operational when immersed. It should be mounted in such a way that the enclosure and level indicator do not
come into contact with the application media under normal operational conditions.
Make a Fail‐Safe System: Design a fail‐safe system that accommodates the possibility of
EchoPod®/PodView® and/or power failure. FLOWLINE recommends the use of redundant backup systems and
alarms in addition to the primary system.
Flammable, Explosive or Hazardous Applications: PodView® should not be used within classified
hazardous environments.
