10.5.4 Installation Safety Guidelines
The notes and mechanical executions implicit in the following diagrams for capacitance probe installation are
to be used for guidance purposes only. Local, state and national codes must be adhered to in all cases. It is
important to use only qualified and experience installation personnel who have been factory trained.
Under all boiler operation codes that Autoflame is aware of, it is not permitted to install only two capacitance
probes without an additional water level detection device. When the capacitance probes are installed on a
boiler application in this way, the boiler must be protected using a separate auxiliary low water cut-off device.
For fire tube steam boilers, a sight gauge glass must be installed to visually indicate the level of the water in
the boiler. The water in the sight gauge glass is considerably colder than the water in the boiler and does not
contain bubbles or current effects.
