WARNING!
Do not install or operate a device that is damaged.
Install the device in a location away from conditions (such as high-pressure steam) where electro-
static charge can collect on nonconducting surfaces. This equipment uses an external nonmetallic
coating. If extreme levels of electrostatic charge collect, ignition can occur.
Make sure that there is no physical blockage from permanent objects such as structures and
equipment or temporary objects such as personnel and vehicles in the sensor's field of view. If
there is physical blockage in the sensor's field of view, the device cannot accurately monitor the
area for flame.
Keep the device safe from vibration and mechanical shock, which can cause damage.
Failure to obey these warnings can result in serious injury or death.
