VIII. Maintenance and Precautions

Installation Inspection: Before installation, check that the module appearance is intact, and the backplane connectors are not oxidized or deformed; during installation, align and gently insert and push the slot to ensure the connectors are fully engaged, and fix the screws to prevent vibration.

Hot-swappable operation: Confirm that the circuit allows short-time online replacement, simply plug and unplug; after replacement, observe the front panel LED to confirm that the module has started and the channel outputs are normal.

Daily Status Monitoring: Front panel contains running LED, fault LED, 4-channel LED; a lit channel LED indicates normal output, off indicates abnormal; when the fault LED lights up, quickly locate faults such as disconnection, short circuit or module failure through system diagnostic information. Regular maintenance: Clean the surface and terminals of the module and remove dust every 6 months, and check for loose connections; perform an accuracy calibration once every 12 months to ensure long-term accuracy.

Storage requirements: Store in a dry, ventilated, dust-free environment for a long time, with a temperature range of -40℃ to +85℃, protected from moisture and dust, to prevent component aging.
