The working temperature should be controlled within -20℃ to +70℃, ensure good ventilation of the cabinet during installation to avoid heat accumulation; in high-temperature environments, appropriately reduce the pulse frequency to extend module lifespan.

Regularly check the wiring terminals to prevent loosening and oxidation; calibrate the counting accuracy once every 6 months; shorten the calibration period in harsh environments.

The module is an electrostatic-sensitive device; during installation and maintenance, wear an anti-static wristband to avoid electrostatic damage to the internal chips.

The module has no user-repairable components; faults require return to the factory for repair; do not disassemble privately to avoid damaging the warranty label.
