7. Instruccions de funcionament
- View Current Temperature (PV): The upper LED display shows the current measured temperature (Process Value).
- View Set Temperature (SV): The lower LED display shows the desired set temperature (Set Value).
- Temperatura establerta:
- Premeu el botó SET button once. The SV display will flash.
- Utilitza el Amunt (▲) or Avall (▼) botons per ajustar la temperatura desitjada.
- Premeu SET again to confirm and save the setting, or wait a few seconds for it to save automatically.
- Heating/Cooling Indication: The 'HEATING' or 'COOLING' indicator lights will illuminate when the respective outlet is active.
- Calibració de temperatura: Refer to the detailed instructions in the included paper manual for advanced settings like temperature calibration, differential settings, and alarm parameters. These settings allow fine-tuning of the controller's response.
- Alarmes: The controller features over-temperature and sensor fault alarms. If an alarm triggers, the display will show an error code (e.g., 'HHH' for over-temperature, 'LLL' for under-temperature, 'ERR' for sensor fault) and an audible alert may sound. Address the issue promptly.
8. Manteniment
- Neteja de la sonda: Regularly inspect and clean the submersible probe to prevent algae or mineral buildup, which can affect accuracy. Use a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution if necessary.
- Unitat de controlador: Wipe the main controller unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse it in water.
- Inspecció del cable: Periodically check all cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary.
9. Solució De Problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| La pantalla està en blanc | Sense font d'alimentació | Comproveu la connexió i la presa de corrent. |
| La lectura de la temperatura no és precisa | Probe dirty or improperly placed; calibration needed | Clean probe, ensure proper submersion, perform temperature calibration. |
| Heating/Cooling device not turning on | Device not plugged in correctly; controller settings incorrect; device malfunction | Verify device connection to correct outlet, check set temperature and differential, test device independently. |
| Alarm sounds frequently | Temperature outside set range; alarm limits too narrow | Adjust set temperature or alarm high/low limits. Ensure heating/cooling devices are functioning. |
| 'ERR' displayed | Error del sensor | Check probe connection. If error persists, the probe may need replacement. |
