The cautions
Pins are connected strictly according to pins illuminating,Load need large than 10kΩ when coupling output DC.
It should be kept in storage at an environment that has -55~+100℃ and less than 80% relative humidity,dryness,airiness,no causticness gas.
The suitable ESD protecting mersures are recommend in storage,transporting and using
It's high voltage device,so we need proper design and measure to escape cause damage to human body when using and operating.
