4. Configuració i instal·lació

1. Connecteu el sensor: Insert the NTC sensor probe into the designated port on the side of the DTC102 controller unit. Ensure it is securely connected.
2. Col·loca el sensor: Place the sensor probe in the environment where you wish to monitor and control the temperature. Ensure the probe is fully submerged if used in liquid, or properly positioned to accurately measure air temperature.
3. Connecteu els dispositius de calefacció/refrigeració:
   • Plug your heating device (e.g., heat mat, heater) into the socket labeled "CALEFACCIÓ" on the controller's outlet.
   • Plug your cooling device (e.g., fan, chiller) into the socket labeled "REFREDERACIÓ" on the controller's outlet.

4. Encès: Plug the main power cord of the DTC102 controller into a standard 110V AC power outlet. The LED display will illuminate, showing the current temperature (PV) and default settings.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

The DTC102 controller features a simple three-button interface: SET, Amunt (▲), i BAIX (▼).

Figure 5.1: Front panel of the DTC102 controller.

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.

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.
