Precautions:
1. To prevent particles or debris from entering the sensor, a filter screen must be installed at the water inlet.
2. The flow sensor must be installed indoors or inside equipment. Avoid exposing it to outdoor environments, humidity, high temperature, or harsh conditions. Install the sensor away from
3.Avoid strong impacts and exposure to corrosive chemicals.
Do not drop or subject the sensor to collisions.
