according to the approval for explosion proof products. If the information is missing on
the dimensional drawing, the product must be fully submerged. Level-sensing equipment
must be installed if the product can be operated at less than the minimum submersion
depth.
Monitoring equipment
For additional safety, use condition-monitoring devices. Condition-monitoring devices
include but are not limited to the following:
• Level indicators
• Temperature detectors
