  2.  Over 150℃ to 600℃, choose high temperature type; over 600℃ for ultra-high temperature type.
  3. When the power-on duration exceeds 60%, the high frequency type is selected.
  4. When lifting materials in water, choose the diving type.
  5. Ambient temperature: normal temperature type -25℃-40℃, high temperature type more than 40℃. The altitude does not exceed 4000m.
