Installation Requirements:

  • Ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation.
  • Connect communication cables using shielded twisted-pair wiring.
  • Configure IP addresses and network parameters via the configuration software.

Usage Precautions:

  • Regularly monitor diagnostic alarms to preemptively address hardware issues.
  • Verify communication protocol settings match the network configuration.
  • Avoid exceeding the specified environmental temperature limits.
