Seven. Precautions

The power supply must be stable at 5VDC ± 10%, avoid excessive voltage fluctuations that cause counting errors; do not reverse the power supply connection to prevent module burnout.

5V pulse signals must use shielded twisted-pair cables; for long-distance transmission (> 5m), prefer differential mode; keep away from strong interference equipment to avoid signal distortion.

The working temperature should be controlled within -20℃ to +70℃, ensure good ventilation of the cabinet during installation to avoid overheating; 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 wrist strap to avoid electrostatic damage to the internal chips.

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