The manual recommends a calibration interval of one year.
A strong magnetic source should be at least 10 cm (3.94 in) away from the measuring unit.
Mount the unit using the #4.2 hole or a holder, applying a torque of 0.18 – 0.23 Nm and keeping the mounting parallelism within 0.2 mm per 100 mm.
Yes, they are equipped with dust‑proof bellows, but they are not completely water‑proof.
