VIII. Maintenance and Precautions

Installation check: Before installation, check the model, and check that the connectors are not oxidized and the casing is not damaged; insert into the slot and align with the guide slot, gently push to fully engage, and tighten the fixing screws to prevent vibration.

Hot-swappable operation: Confirm that the system redundancy is normal, directly insert or remove the module; after replacement, observe the front panel LEDs (RUN, FAULT, channel status), and confirm that the module is online and the channels are normal.

Daily monitoring: The front panel contains PWR (power), RUN (operation), FAULT (fault), 16-channel AI LED, and 8-channel DO LED; when FAULT is on, use the system diagnosis to locate the fault.

Regular maintenance: Clean the terminals and module surface dust every 6 months, check the wiring tightness and fixation; perform an accuracy calibration and relay contact detection once every 12 months.

Storage requirements: Store for a long time in a dry, ventilated, dust-free environment, with a temperature range of -55℃ to +90℃, protected from moisture and corrosion, avoiding direct sunlight and severe vibration.
