separate conduit from all other wiring and keep them separate throughout the installation.
2. Wiring to the sensors must have a grade of insulation capable of withstanding an AC
voltage of 500 volts RMS.
3. Sensor wires must be run in separate conduits and junction boxes from high voltage wires
such as ignition, fuel valve, and other high voltage wiring.
