Precautions for Spare Parts Selection and Replacement

When selecting spare parts, be sure to verify the instrument model, approval type, and communication protocol to ensure spare parts compatibility. When replacing circuit boards or modules, follow the operating manual and pay attention to installation requirements in hazardous areas. For the NRF590X PC board, the main board and communication board must be replaced as a set; they cannot be replaced individually.

It is recommended to regularly inspect sealing components and cable glands, and replace aging parts in a timely manner to maintain the instrument's protection rating and explosion-proof performance. For special versions or certification requirements, please contact the supplier and provide the TSP number.
