Precautions:
1.To prevent particles or debris from entering the sensor, ensure a filter screen is installed at the water inlet.
2.The flow sensor should be installed indoors or within equipment. Do not expose it to outdoor environments, excessive humidity, high temperatures, or other harsh conditions. Make sure it is positioned away from heat sources and areas with unstable conditions.
3.Protect the sensor from strong impacts and corrosive chemicals. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to collisions to maintain reliable performance.
