Handle the sensor with care to prevent damage to the microwave transmitter.
Damaged transmitters can result in higher signal power levels, which can
interfere with essential terrestrial microwave links.
The safety of the transmitter may be impaired if any of the following
conditions have occurred:
• Visible damage
• Storage above 70 °C for prolonged periods
• Exposure to severe transport stresses
• Previous installation
• Failure to operate properly
If any of these conditions have occurred, return the device to the
manufacturer for recertification.
Look for corrosion and damage
Look for corrosion and damage once a year.
Note: The only parts of the Flo-Dar system that can be replaced by the user are
the bail assembly and the cable. If the sensor becomes defective, it must be
replaced as a complete unit.
D A N G E R
Explosion hazard. When using the retrieval pole, make sure to
connect the grounding strap to the ground lug on the barrier. The
sensor must also be connected to the barrier during maintenance
activities. This is to prevent ignition of explosive gases due to static
discharge.
C A U T I O N
Radar RF exposure hazard. Avoid putting the head and other vital
organ areas within the microwave beam (within 1 meter (3.3 ft) of the
microwave aperture). Although the Flo-Dar microwave power level is
very small (approximately 15 mW) and is well below government
stated exposure limits for uncontrolled environments, users of this
product should obey proper safety protocols for the handling of
devices with radar frequency transmitters.
