• Gems products must be maintained and installed in strict accordance with the National
Electrical Code and the applicable Gems Product Instruction Bulletin that covers
installation, operation and proper maintenance. Failure to observe this information may
result in serious injury or damages.
•For hazardous area applications involving such things as, but not limited to, ignitable
mixtures, combustible dust and flammable materials, use an appropriate explosionproof
enclosure or intrinsically safe interface device.
•Please adhere to the pressure and temperature limitations shown throughout this catalog
for our level and flow sensors. These limitations must not be exceeded. These pressures
and temperatures take into consideration possible system surge pressures, temperatures
and their frequencies.
•Selection of materials for compatibility with the media is critical to the life and operation of
Gems products. Take care in the proper selection of materials of construction, testing is
required.
•NSF-approved sensors are made of materials approved for potable water applications
according to Standard 61.
•Stainless steel is generally regarded as safe by NSF and FDA.
•Life expectancy of switch contacts varies with application. Contact Gems if life cycle testing
is required.
•Ambient temperature changes do affect switch set points, since the gravity of a liquid can
vary with temperature.
•Our sensors have been designed to resist shock and vibration. However, shock and
vibration should be minimized.
•Filter liquid media containing particulate and/or debris to ensure the proper operation of
our products.
•Electrical entries and mounting points in an enclosed tank may require liquid/vaporsealing.
•Our sensors must not be field-repaired.
•Physical damage sustained by product may render it unserviceable.
