Seven. Precautions

External power supply must be stable at 24VDC ± 10%,严禁 sharing the power supply with high-power equipment to avoid power supply fluctuations causing counting errors；严禁 reverse power connection to prevent module burnout.

Pulse signals must use shielded twisted pair， for long-distance transmission (>5m)， prefer differential mode， away from strong interference equipment such as frequency converters and motors to avoid signal distortion.

Work temperature is controlled at -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 need to be sent to the factory for repair， and it is prohibited to disassemble privately to avoid damaging the warranty label.
