Smart Temperature Controller

Smart Digital Thermostat No wiring , No hassle

1.0 Overview

STC-1000Pro/STC-1000WiFi is a plug-and-play smart digital temperature controller. It features two pre-wired heating and cooling outlets that not only can keep your appliances at ideal temperatures automatically but also can keep safe and reliable due to the usage of V-0 classified flame-retardant ABS materials. Meanwhile, its three-button design and 2.5″ LCD give intuitive temperature viewing and parameters settings, such as high/low temperature alarm, temperature calibration, °C/°F unit switch, cooling protection time, etc .. where STC-1000WiFi is a wireless controller that supports more function via the Elitech app.

STC-1000Pro/STC-1000WiFi with UK/EU/US version can be widely used in areas that need automatic temperature controls such as homebrew, aquarium, incubation, pet breeding, seedling heat mats, culture fermentation, etc.

Hsp(Heating start point)= TS(Temperature Set-point) – HD(Heating Differential)

2.0 Operation

Incorrect operation may cause serious damages to you or your device.
Warnings: Please make sure yau read and understand the fol/awing procedures before start.

2.1 Probe Installation

Plug the temperature probe fully into the headphone jack from the bottom of the main controller. Otherwise, a buzzer alarm will be triggered and “Err” code will show on the LCD after powering on the controller.

Probe Installation

2.2 Power On

Plug the controller into a 100V to 250V power outlet, the LCD will light up and display temperature and other parameters.

Power On

2.3 Parameter Viewing

Press or to enter parameter viewing mode.
Press to view the parameters and relative values in ascending order:
TS—-S>(D—-S> H□-PT-AH—-S>AL-CA. The parameter details are in 2.4 Parameter Settings. Note: The controller will auto exit viewing mode after 5 seconds of inactivity.

2.4 Parameter Settings

STC-1000Pro supports parameter settings by buttons.
STC-1000WiFi supports parameter settings by buttons or the Elitech app.

2.4.1 Button Operation
Press and hold button for 3 seconds to enter the parameter setting mode, the buzzer will beep and the LCD will display icon.
Press button to switch to the next parameter, then press or to increase or decrease the setting value; or long press or to increase or decrease quickly.
Press and hold for 3 seconds to save settings and exit; or the controller will save and exit setting mode after 15 seconds of inactivity.
See the flow chart below for quick parameter setting procedures:

2.4.2 App Operation (STC-1000WiFi Only)
Open Elitech app, connect STC-1000WiFi to your preferred Wi-Fi to remotely view and set parameters, monitor temperature, analyze graph, export data, etc.
Further procedures are shown in 8.0 Elitech App Operation.

3.0 Parameter Instructions

Parameter Instructions

Note: 3 The° C/°F icon will flash on the LCD during temperature unit settings.

3.1 Parameter Functions

3.1.1 Temperature Setting – TS, HD, CD, PV, SV
When the controller is in normal operating status, the PV shows the current value, the SV shows the set value, by setting parameters TS (Temperature Set- point), HD (Heating Differential), and CD (Cooling Differential). It will automatically switch for the cooling and heating modes.

Cooling Mode:

When PV (Current Value)?. TS (Temperature Set-point)+ CD (Cooling Differential), the controller enters the cooling mode, the cooling icon and the green LED are on and the cooling outlet starts to output.
If the green LED flashes, the compressor is under protection status, please see 3.1.2 Protection Time – PT for further information.
When PV (Current value) s TS (Temperature Set-point), the controller exits the cooling mode, the cooling icon and the green LED are off.

Heating Mode:

When PV (Current Value) s TS (Temperature Set-point) – HD (Heating Differential), the controller enters heating mode, the heating icon -)?’.- and the red LED are on and the heating outlet starts to output.
When PV (Current Value)?. TS (Temperature Set-point), the controller exits heating mode, the heating icon -if– and the red LED are off.

Example:
If set TS= 25°C, CD= 3°C, HD= 3°C:
Csp (Cooling start point)= TS+ CD= 28°C,
Hsp (Heating start point) = TS – HD = 22° c.
When PV (current value)?. 28°C(Csp), the controller automatically enters cooling mode. When PV s 25°C(TS), the controller automatically exits cooling mode.
When PV s 22°C(Hsp), the controller automatically enters heating mode. When PV?. 25°C(TS), the controller automatically exits heating mode.
If set TS= 25°C, CD= 3°C, HD= 3°C:
Csp (Cooling start point)= TS+ CD= 28°C,
Hsp (Heating start point) = TS – HD = 22° c.
When PV (current value)?. 28°C(Csp), the controller automatically enters cooling mode. When PV s 25°C(TS), the controller automatically exits cooling mode.
When PV s 22°C(Hsp), the controller automatically enters heating mode. When PV?. 25°C(TS), the controller automatically exits heating mode.

Operating

3.1.2 Protection Time – PT (Cooling Mode Only)
Frequent start/stop may influence or even shorten the service life of your appliance; we suggest you to set the parameter PT (Protection Time, i.e. cooling start delay time), to protect your appliance. Please set it according to your requirements.

Example: When PT is set to 3 minutes, PV (Current Value) > Csp (Cooling start point), the controller will enter cooling mode if either condition below is satisfied:

The controller is powered on for more than 3 minutes;
The interval between two adjacent cooling modes is more than 3 minutes.

3.1.3 High Alarm Limit – AH
When PV (Current Value) ≥ AH (High Alarm Limit), high temperature alarm will be triggered, the LCD displays error code “EAH”, the icon and buzzer beeps promptly. Press any button to mute the buzzer, but the error code will remain until PV < AH.

3.1.4 Low Alarm Limit – AL
When PV (Current Value) ≥ AL (Low Alarm Limit), low temperature alarm will be triggered, the LCD displays error code “EAL”, the icon and buzzer beeps promptly. Press any button to mute the buzzer, but the error code will remain until PV > AL.
Cr Note: The controller will work normally during AH or AL alarms.

3.1.5 Temperature Calibration – CA
When PV (Current Value) deviates from the standard or actual temperature, please use the parameter CA to correct it. The calibration value could be positive, D or negative and PV (calibrated) = PV (before calibration) + CA (temperature calibration).

3.1.6 Celsius/Fahrenheit – CF
The controller supports Celsius or Fahrenheit display. The US version default unit is in Fahrenheit, the UK/EU version default is in Celsius. If the default is different from your preferred unit, please modify the parameter CF as shown in 2.4 Parameter Settings.

4.0 Installation

For your personal and appliance’s safety, we suggest you pawer on the controller after the installation finishes.

This controller supports hanging-mount only, please check and confirm the installation distances and nails size before installation. The details are shown below for reference:

Installation

5.0 Cooling/Heating Outlet

Heating Outlet

Note: If you only need to connect one appliance, or do not use the outlet for a long time, please put it away to prevent potential damage to the controller.

6.0 Error Code

If the following conditions occur, the buzzer will beep and error code will show on the LCD to alert. Press any button can mute the buzzer but error code will remain until the problems solved.

When LCD screen displays error code “Err”:
The probe may be disconnected or not installed correctly. Please try to re- install the probe. If the “Err” code remains on the screen, please replace with a new one ASAP.
When LCD screen displays error code “EAH”:
The controller is in high temperature alarm status as current temperature is above high alarm limit (PV?. AH). Please check and solve it ASAP to avoid any damage or loss.
When LCD screen displays error code “EAL”:
The controller is in low temperature alarm status as current temperature is below the low alarm limit (PV AL). Please check and solve it ASAP to avoid any damage or loss.
