failure to maintain the device in a suitable technical condition, or use of the device other
than for its intended purpose.
- Installation should be carried out by qualified staff having the required authorizations to install
electrical and pressure-measuring devices. The installer is responsible for performing the
installation in accordance with these instructions and with the electromagnetic compatibility and
safety regulations and standards applicable to the type of installation.
- The device should be configured appropriately for the purpose for which it is to be used.
Incorrect configuration may cause erroneous functioning, leading to damage to the device or
an accident.
- If a device is not functioning correctly, disconnect it and send it for repair to the manufacturer or
to a firm authorized by the manufacturer.
In order to minimize the risk of malfunction and associated risks to staff, the device is not to be
installed or used in particularly unfavourable conditions, where the following dangers occur:
- possibility of mechanical impacts, excessive shocks and vibration;
- excessive temperature fluctuation, exposure to direct sunlight;

3. APPLICATIONS OF PROBES
The SGE-25.SMART, SGE-25S.SMART, SGE-25C.SMART, SGE-25S.SMART/TITAN, SGE-25, SGE-25S,
SGE-25 and SGE-16 probes are designed to measure the depth of liquid in wells, tanks, watercourses,
boreholes etc.
The SGE-25S.SMART and SGE-25S probes are particularly designed for the measurement of levels of liquid
waste and of dense or viscous.
The SGE-16 probes, due to their small diameter, are designed for the measurement of water levels in wells and
boreholes, wherever it is necessary to insert probes into pipes of small diameter.
Probes fitted with cables with anadditional Teflonshieldmay be used with food productsand with reactive substances.
The SGE-25, SGE-16, SGE-25C, SGE-25S probes convert an input pressure (being a measure of the level of the
medium) into a standard 4÷20 mA signal transmitted in a two-wire system, or in special versions into a 0÷10V
signal transmitted in a three-wire system.
The SGE-25.SMART, SGE-25S.SMART, SGE-25C.SMART, SGE-25S.SMART/TITAN probes generate
a 4÷20mA output signal and a digital HART signal in a two-wire system (current loop).
