changes and corrosions. Too high temperature may accelerate aging of the 
insulation materials and can thus significantly shorten the service life of the device. 
For normal temperature and humidity of the device, please check the following 
table.

The dust accumulated on the switch can be absorbed by static electricity and result 
in poor contact of metal contact points. Some measures have been taken for the 
device to prevent static electricity, but too strong static electricity can cause deadly 
damage to the electronic elements on the internal circuit board. To avoid the effect 
of static electricity on the operation of the switch, please attach much importance 
to the following items:
 
■
Dust the device regularly, and keep the indoor air clean.
 
■
 Keep the device well grounded and ensure static electricity has been transferred.
Electromagnetic Interference
Electronic elements including capacitance and inductance on the device can be 
affected by external interferences, such as conducted emission by capacitance 
coupling, inductance coupling, and impedance coupling. To decrease the 
interferences, please make sure to take the following measures:
 
■
 Use the power supply that can effectively filter interference from the power grid.
 
■
 Keep the device far from high-frequency, strong-current devices, such as radio 
transmitting station.
 
■
 Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.
Lightening Protection
Extremely high voltage currents can be produced instantly when lightning occurs 
and the air in the electric discharge path can be instantly heated up to 
20,000℃
