(1)
Intermediate level ranges are available.
(2)
Total error band includes the combined errors due to nonlinearity, hysteresis, nonrepeatability and thermal effects over the compensated temperature range per ISA S51.1.
(3)
-20ºC to 50ºC for level ranges <= 100 ft (70m) H2O when using ETFE cable.
(4)

ETFE is a fluoropolymer (Teflon® derivative) material, Tefzel® or equivalent.

(5)
The power supply needs to be limited to 150 mA to avoid lock up of the gas tube after a suppression event.
