This level probing device is only permitted for installation inside enclosed containers. The
installer/user of this device shall ensure that it is at least 10 km from the Penticton radio
astronomy station (British Columbia latitude: 49° 19' 12" N, longitude: 119° 37'12" W). For
devices not meeting this 10 km separation (e.g. the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia)
the installer/ user must coordinate with and obtain the written concurrence of the
Director of the Penticton radio astronomy station before the equipment can be installed
or operated. The Penticton contact is Tel: 250-493-2277/ fax: 250-493-7767. (In case of
difficulty, the Manager, Radio Equipment Standards, Industry Canada, may also be
