III. Key Matching Points for Interchange (Mandatory Check)

1. Interchange Operation Steps and Precautions
2. Power-Off Safety Operation: Disconnect and lock the power supply before replacement to prevent electric shock and equipment damage
3. Parameter Recording: Record the time setting, operating mode and wiring method of the original H3CR-A8
4. การตรวจสอบโมเดล: Confirm that the key parameters of the substitute model are consistent with the original one
5. Pin Confirmation: Check the terminal diagram of the substitute model to ensure correct wiring (H3CR-A8 terminals: 2=+, 5=-/AC neutral, 6=NC, 7=COM, 10=NO)
6. Mode Setting: Adjust the mode selector switch of the substitute model according to the original operating mode
7. Time Calibration: Set the same time delay as the original model to ensure consistent control logic
8. การทดสอบและการตรวจสอบ: Conduct a power-on test to confirm normal timer operation and equipment operation in line with expectations
9. Recommended Models for Special Scenarios

1. Scenarios Not Recommended for Interchange
2. The original equipment has special certification requirements (เช่น, classification society certification) and the substitute model has no corresponding certification
3. Complex control logic relying on unique functions of H3CR-A8 (เช่น, 0.1s power reset time)
4. Large differences in pin definition between the substitute model and the original one, with no possibility of rewiring
5. Extremely high time accuracy requirements (±0.2% FS), and some economical substitute models have lower accuracy
