Instruccions de funcionament
Visualització finalitzadaview:
The LED display shows three main values:
- VA (Valor del Procés): Current measured temperature by the sensor.
- RV (Return Value): The temperature at which the connected device will turn ON.
- SV (Valor definit): The temperature at which the connected device will turn OFF.
1. Switching Temperature Units (°C/°F):
To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), simultaneously press and hold the UP i ABAIX buttons for a few seconds until the unit changes on the display.
2. Setting Heating Mode:
In heating mode, the device will turn on when the temperature drops to the RV (ON) value and turn off when it reaches the SV (OFF) value.
- Premeu el botó SET button once. The PV value will start flashing.
- Utilitza el UP or ABAIX buttons to adjust the SV (OFF) temperature.
- Premeu el botó SET button again. The RV value will start flashing.
- Utilitza el UP or ABAIX buttons to adjust the RV (ON) temperature.
- Premeu el botó SET button a third time to confirm and save your settings.
Example for Heating Mode: If ON at 78°F and OFF at 83°F, the heater will activate when the temperature drops to 78°F and deactivate when it reaches 83°F.
3. Setting Cooling Mode:
In cooling mode, the device will turn on when the temperature rises to the RV (ON) value and turn off when it reaches the SV (OFF) value.
- Premeu el botó SET button once. The PV value will start flashing.
- Utilitza el UP or ABAIX buttons to adjust the SV (OFF) temperature.
- Premeu el botó SET button again. The RV value will start flashing.
- Utilitza el UP or ABAIX buttons to adjust the RV (ON) temperature.
- Premeu el botó SET button a third time to confirm and save your settings.
Example for Cooling Mode: If ON at 86°F and OFF at 82°F, the cooler will activate when the temperature rises to 86°F and deactivate when it drops to 82°F.
