liability shall be limited to repair or replacement under the standard warranty clause. In no case
shall the Seller's liability exceed that stated as Limitations of Remedy in the contract between
the Seller and Buyer.

Use of parts that are not manufactured or supplied by Varec voids any warranty and relieves
Varec of any obligation to service the product under warranty. Varec recommends the use of
only Varec manufactured or supplied parts to maintain or service Varec 6700 Liquid Level

 Safety Precaution Definitions
Caution! Damage to equipment may result if this precaution is disregarded.

Warning! Direct injury to personnel or damage to equipment which can cause injury to
personnel may result if this precaution is not followed.

Safety Precautions
Read this manual carefully and make sure you understand its contents before using this product.
Follow all instructions and safety guidelines presented in this manual when using this product.
If the user does not follow these instructions properly, Varec cannot guarantee the safety of the
system.

Note Comply with all applicable regulations, codes, and standards. For safety precautions,
the user should refer to the appropriate industry or military standards.

Caution! Electrical Hazard! Read and understand static and lightning electrical protection
and grounding described in API 2003. Make certain that the tank installation, operation,
and maintenance conforms with the practice set forth therein.

Warning! Make certain that the tank is empty and not in service. Ensure that the tank has
been leak and pressure tested as appropriate for the liquid to be stored. Observe
appropriate safety precautions in flammable or hazardous liquid storage areas. Do not
enter a tank that has contained hydrocarbons, vapors, or toxic materials until a gas free
environment is certified. Carry breathing equipment when entering a tank where oxygen
may be displaced by carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or other gases. Wear safety glasses as
appropriate. Use a hard hat.

Warning! Under most circumstances, the mechanical connections between the guide
cables and the anchors provide a resistance to ground that is adequate for the safe electrical
drain of electrostatic charges that may accumulate in the tank and the product. Additional
grounding may be needed for products with low flash points. Worker activity and worker
clothing may accumulate electrostatic charges on the body of a worker. Care should be
used in flammable environments to avoid the hazard. Observe American Petroleum Institute
(API) Recommended Practice 2003 or other appropriate industry or military standard.
