5.1. Setting the Target Temperature (SV)

  1. Premeu el botó SET button once. The "SV" value on the display will begin to flash.
  2. Utilitza el Amunt (▲) or BAIX (▼) botons per ajustar la temperatura objectiu desitjada.
  3. Premeu el botó SET button again to confirm and save the setting.

5.2. Advanced Settings (CD, HD, CA, LA, HA, PT)

Per accedir a la configuració avançada, manteniu premut el botó SET button for 3 seconds until "F1" appears on the display. Use Amunt (▲) or BAIX (▼) to navigate through parameters (F1-F6). Press SET to enter a parameter, adjust with Amunt (▲)/BAIX (▼), i premeu SET de nou per salvar.

ParàmetreDescripcióIntervalPer defecte
F1 (CD)Cooling Differential: Temperature difference for cooling to activate/deactivate.0.1-30 °C / 0.1-54 °F3 °C / 5.4 °F
F2 (HD)Heating Differential: Temperature difference for heating to activate/deactivate.0.1-30 °C / 0.1-54 °F3 °C / 5.4 °F
F3 (CA)Compressor Delay: Delay time before compressor starts (for cooling).0-10 minuts0 minuts
F4 (LA)Low Temperature Alarm: Sets the minimum temperature before an alarm sounds.-40°C to SV-40 °C / -40 °F
F5 (HA)High Temperature Alarm: Sets the maximum temperature before an alarm sounds.SV to 120°C120 °C / 248 °F
F6 (PT)Temperature Unit: Switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).° C / ° F°C

Example for setting SV, CD, HD (from A+ content): If you want your device to work within 30°F~36°F, set SV (Set Temperature) = (36°F - 30°F) / 2 + 30°F = 33°F. Then, CD (Cooling Differential) = 36°F - 33°F = 3°F, and HD (Heating Differential) = 33°F - 30°F = 3°F. This method helps in energy saving by defining a precise operating range around your target temperature.

5.3. Switching Temperature Units (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, access the advanced settings (hold SET for 3 seconds), navigate to F6 (PT), and use the Amunt (▲) or BAIX (▼) buttons to select your preferred unit. Press SET per salvar.
