Intended Use
GNS-SCV is a capacitive level switch to offer a control of filling levels in
liquids.
GNS-SCV-W: designed for use with water and conductive liquids.
GNS-SCV-Z: designed for use with oil and non-conductive liquids.
Safety signs and symbols
Warnings are labelled in this document with the followings signs:
Caution! This symbol warns of imminent danger, death, serious injuries
and significant damage to property at non-observance.
Attention! This symbol warns of possible dangers or dangerous situations

Safety guidelines
However, its trouble-free operation and reliability cannot be guaranteed unless the standard safety measures and special safety advises given in this manual will be adhered to when using the device.
- Trouble-free operation and reliability of the device can only be guaranteed if the device is not subjected to any other climatic conditions than those stated under “Specification”. If the device is transported from a cold to a warm environment condensation may cause in a failure of the function. In such a case make sure the device temperature has adjusted to the ambient temperature before trying a new start-up.
- **** If there is a risk whatsoever involved in running it, the device has to be switched off immediately and to be marked accordingly to avoid re-starting. Operator safety may be a risk if.
- – there is visible damage to the device.
- the device is not working as specified.
- the device has been stored under unsuitable conditions for a longer time. In case of doubt, please return device to manufacturer for repair or maintenance.
- **** Do not use these products as safety or emergency stop devices or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury or material damage. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury and material damage.
- **** This device must not be used at potentially explosive areas! The usage of this device at potentially explosive areas increases danger of deflagration, explosion or fire due to sparking

3.2 Operation advice
The GNS-SCV level switch has been designed to offer a very simple and safety
control levels in
liquids. The GNS-SCV is, dependent on the version, suitable for various
materials.
- Water, conductive liquids (GNS-SCV-W)
- Oil, non-conductive liquids (GNS-SCV-Z)
- Solids in the form of powder and granules
Mounting and Maintenance
Take care to use metal hexagonal part of the body during connection to the
adapters

Reshipment and Disposal
Reshipment
**** All devices returned to the manufacturer have to be free of any residual
of measuring media and/or other hazardous substances. Measuring residuals at
housing or sensor may be a risk for persons or environment.
Use an adequate transport package for reshipment, especially for fully
functional devices. Please make sure that the device is protected in the
package by enough packing materials
Disposal
The device must not be disposed in the unsorted municipal waste! Send the
device directly to us (sufficiently stamped), if it should be disposed. We
will dispose the device appropriate and environmentally sound
