06| Control Function Instructions

6.1 Button Operation Instructions

6.1.1 Button Function in Normal Operation Mode

6.1.1.1 Quickly press “v”, PV shows HD, SV shows heating difference value; Short Press “v” again, PV shows CD, cooling difference value. And It will be back to the normal display if there is no operation for 3 seconds or pressing the SET button.
6.1.1.2 Quickly press the SET button to enter the quick setting temperature setting value mode, at this time, SV displays the current control setting value and flashes. Quickly press·~· or “v” button to increase or decrease the setting value. Long press -Q.” or “v” button to quickly increase or decrease the setting value, then press SET button to confirm and exit. If there is no operation, it will automatically exit after 10 seconds and save the setting value.

6.1.2 Button Function in Setting Mode

When the controller is working normally, press the SET button for 2 seconds to enter the setting mode. The PV digital tube shows the first menu code “TS”, SV shows the corresponding setting value. Press SET button to scroll down the menu item and save the parameters of the previous menu item. Press “~”or ‘\,,”button to change the current setting value. If in the setting state, there is no operation within 30 seconds or long press “SET” button for 2 seconds, it will exit and save the setting state and return to normal operation mode.

6.3 Setting Menu Instruction

6.4 Control Function Instruction

When the controller works normally, PV screen shows the measured temperature, meantime the SV screen shows the set temperature. It recognizes and converts from heating to cooling mode automatically. HEATING socket for heating output, the red LED indicator showing heating status. While COOLING socket for cooling output, the green LED indicator showing cooling status.

6.4.1 Instructions for Setting Temperature Control (TS, HD, CD)

6.4.1.1 Normal Temperature Control When the measured temperature PV s TS (Temperature Setting Value) – HD (Heating difference value),the controller will enter the heating state, the red led is on, HEATING output works. When the measured temperature PV;,; TS(Temperature Settin Value), the red led is off and the HEATING output turns off. When the measured temperature PV;,; TS(Temperature Setting Value)+ CD(Cooling difference value), the controller will enter the cooling state, the green led is on, COOLING output works; the green led flashes, indicating that the cooling device is in the state of the Compressor delay protection. When PV(measured temperature) s TS(temperature setting value), the green led is off and the COOING output turns off. For example, setting TS= 25.0°C, CD=2.0°C, HD=3.0°C, when the measured tempera ure values 22°c (TS-HD), the controller will enter the state; when the measured temperature value  25°C, the heating will stop; when t e measured temperature value 27.0°C(TS+CD), the controller enter the cooling state; when measured temperature value ::;25.0’C, cooling will stop.

6.4.1.2 Special Temperature Control If there is no need to judge the return difference in heating or cooling when power on or exiting the setting state, then it directly compare with TS. For example: When power on or exiting the setting state, TS=25.0’C, CD=2.0°C, HD=3.0’C. If PV (measured temperature value) >25.0’C, it
enters the cooling state. When PV(measured temperature value) ::;25.0’C, the cooling stops. Then return to normal temperature control. When PV(measured temperature value) <25.0 •c, it enter the heating state, when PV(measured temperature value) ~ 25.0 ‘C, heating stops, and then return to normal temperature control.

6.4.2 Alarm High / Low Temperature Limit Settings (AH,AL)

When measured temperature ~AH (high temperature limit alarm), then AH flashes alternatly with the current temperature, meantime buzzer will”bi-bi- Biii”alarm, until the temperature <AH, buzzer off and return to normal display and control. Or press any button to turn the buzzer alarm off only . When measured temperature :$ AL (low temperature alarm), then AL flashes alternately with the current temperature, meantime buzzer will “bi-bi- Biii”alarm, until the temperature >AL, buzzer off and return
to normal display and control. Or press any button to turn the buzzer alarm off only. High and low temperature limit alarm will be pushed to mobile APP and remind the customer that the product is in alarm state.

6.4.3 Compressor Delay Time(PT)

In the cooling mode, when the power is turned on for the first time, PV(measured temperature value)~ TS(Temperature setting value)+ CD(Cooling difference value), it will not start cooling immediately, but waiting for a delay time(PT). When two adjacent of cooling starting intervals are greater than the delay time, it will immediately
start cooling; When two adjacent of cooling starting intervals are less than the delay time, it needs to operate the remaining delay time to start the cooling. Delay time will start counting from the cooling output off.

6.4.4 Temperature Calibration(CA)

When the measured temperature deviates from the standard temperature, the temperature calibration function can be used to make the measured value of the instrument consistent with the standard value. The calibrated temperature = the measured temperature + the calibration value.

6.4.5 Fahrenheit or Celsius Settings (CF)

User can set the display unit to Fahrenheit or Celsius according to their habits. The default temperature is Fahrenheit. If you need to display the unit in Celsius, then set the CF to C. Please note that when the CF changes state, all setting values are restored to the default setting and the buzzer gives a short beeping prompt.

07| Exception Handling

7.1 When the temperature sensor circuit is short-circuited or open-circuit fault, the controller starts the probe fau It mode, it will close all execution states, the buzzer sounds and the digital tube displays ER, then press any button to eliminate the buzzer sound, after the fault is removed, it will return to the normal working mode.
7.2 When the controller is powered off or in the state of disconnected, the mobile APP will still show online state, and the disconnected state will be showed after 1 to 3 minutes.
