Operation and Maintenance Guide

（1） Battery replacement

Reason for replacement: When the battery is low, the red system LED flashes to indicate that it needs to be replaced in a timely manner to avoid data loss;

Replacement steps: ① Turn off the device power; ② Loosen the 6 fixing screws of the housing with a screwdriver; ③ Open the device and remove the battery from the CPU subsystem; ④ Replace the CR2430 battery with the same model (it is strictly prohibited to mix other models to avoid the risk of explosion); ⑤ Reinstall the device and tighten the screws; ⑥ Verify real-time clock after power on;

Attention: Replacement may result in loss of clock, event list, and formula data. Used batteries must be disposed of according to regulations.

（2） Daily maintenance

Cleaning requirements: Only use a soft cloth and neutral soap to wipe the panel, and do not use any solvents;

Installation environment: Avoid continuous direct sunlight (accelerating panel film aging), and prohibit contact with corrosive chemicals;

Troubleshooting: When unable to enter configuration mode, you can turn off the power and press and hold any three buttons until the screen displays configuration mode.

（3） Power supply and grounding

Power supply requirements: The power supply should have dual or reinforced insulation, and the power should meet the power consumption requirements of the equipment;

Grounding specification: The equipment must be reliably connected to the protective earth (PE), and grounding can suppress electromagnetic interference and ensure the stability of the control system;

Power supply circuit: It can be floating or grounded, and the floating circuit is connected to the power supply ground through a 1M Ω resistor and a 3.3nF capacitor inside.
