Installation Inspection: Before installation, check that the module appearance is intact, and the backplane connectors are free of dust, oxidation, and deformation; During installation, align and gently push the module into the slot to ensure the connectors are fully engaged, tighten the fixing screws to prevent vibration loosening, and avoid contact failure.

Hot Swap Operation: Confirm that the module is not in a critical control circuit, and directly insert and remove it without power-off; Observe the LED indicator lights after insertion and removal to confirm that the module starts normally and the channel output is correct.

Daily Monitoring: LED on the channel indicates output conduction, off indicates shutdown; Fault LED lights up indicating module failure or channel abnormality, which requires timely troubleshooting of load short circuits, overloads, and disconnected lines.

Regular Maintenance: Clean the module surface and connectors of dust every 6 months, check for any looseness or oxidation of the wiring terminals; Replace fuses when necessary, power off, and use the specified 2A fuse model.

Storage Requirements: Store in a dry, ventilated, dust-free environment, temperature - 40℃ to +85℃, avoid moisture, dust accumulation, and prevent component aging and oxidation.
