Safe operation and precautions

Warning: Incorrect operation may result in personal injury or equipment damage. Please carefully read the complete product manual and strictly follow the factory safety regulations before installation, operation, and maintenance.

-The equipment must be equipped with an independent overspeed shutdown device, which must be completely separated from the main control system to prevent damage caused by equipment loss of control; According to the requirements of the application scenario, additional overheating or overpressure shutdown devices can be equipped to enhance safety.

-It is prohibited to use within the mechanical, electrical, or other operating limits specified by the equipment. Unauthorized modifications may cause equipment damage, void warranty, and invalidate product certification qualifications.

-Electrostatic protection: The equipment contains electrostatic sensitive components, and human static electricity must be released before operation (after turning off the power, contact the grounding surface and maintain contact); Avoid placing ordinary plastics, vinyl and foam plastics (except for anti-static materials) around the printed circuit board, and do not touch the components and conductors on the circuit board with hands or conductive devices.

-Power supply and wiring: Confirm that the power supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the equipment (conventional DC24V) to avoid misconnecting high-voltage power supply; Before wiring, it is necessary to disconnect the power supply, check the insulation protection of the body, and ensure the stability of the interface connection to prevent the risk of short circuit or leakage.

-Battery maintenance: If the control system is equipped with a generator or battery charging device, the charging device must be turned off before disconnecting the battery to avoid damaging the control system.
