5. Enstalasyon

  1. Connect the Temperature Probe: Insert the metal tip of the temperature probe into the designated port on the side of the controller. Ensure it is securely connected.
  2. Limen Kontwolè a: Plug the controller's power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The display will illuminate, showing the current temperature (PV) and the set temperature (SV).
  3. Konekte aparèy yo: Plug your heating device into one of the outlets (OUT 1 or OUT 2) and your cooling device (if applicable) into the other. The controller can manage both simultaneously.

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

6.1 Konprann ekspozisyon an

Kontwolè a gen yon ekran doub:

  • PV (Valè Pwosesis): Displays the current measured temperature from the probe.
  • SV (Valè Fikse): Displays the target temperature or the ON/OFF temperature settings.

6.2 Setting Temperature (Heating Mode)

In heating mode, the device turns ON when the temperature drops below the ON-Temperature and turns OFF when it reaches the OFF-Temperature. For heating, the ON-Temperature must be set BASYE than the OFF-Temperature.

  1. Peze a SET button once. The ON-Temperature (e.g., '1oN' for Outlet 1) will flash.
  2. Sèvi ak la UP or DESANN arrows to adjust the desired ON-Temperature.
  3. Peze SET again. The OFF-Temperature (e.g., '1oF' for Outlet 1) will flash.
  4. Sèvi ak la UP or DESANN arrows to adjust the desired OFF-Temperature.
  5. Peze a SAVE button to confirm and save your settings.

Example: For heating, if you set ON-Temp to 70°F and OFF-Temp to 75°F, the heater will turn on at 70°F and turn off at 75°F.

6.3 Setting Temperature (Cooling Mode)

In cooling mode, the device turns ON when the temperature rises above the ON-Temperature and turns OFF when it reaches the OFF-Temperature. For cooling, the ON-Temperature must be set PI wo than the OFF-Temperature.

  1. Follow steps 1-4 from the Heating Mode instructions to adjust ON-Temperature and OFF-Temperature.
  2. Ensure the ON-Temperature is set PI wo than the OFF-Temperature for cooling operation.
  3. Peze a SAVE button to confirm and save your settings.

Example: For cooling, if you set ON-Temp to 80°F and OFF-Temp to 75°F, the cooler will turn on at 80°F and turn off at 75°F.

6.4 Seleksyon Inite Tanperati (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press and hold the UP arrow button for approximately 3 seconds. The display will change units accordingly.

6.5 Kalibrasyon Tanperati

The Pymeter controller is factory-calibrated for accuracy. If you suspect an inaccurate reading, you can perform a calibration using an ice-water mixture. An ice-water mixture (melting ice) should read 32°F (0°C).

  1. Place the temperature probe into a mixture of ice and water, ensuring the ice is melting.
  2. Allow a few minutes for the probe to stabilize. The reading should be 32°F or 0°C.
  3. If the reading is off, consult the full manual for specific calibration steps, which typically involve an offset adjustment in the settings menu.

6.6 Power-On Delay Function

This function prevents rapid cycling of compressors (e.g., in chillers) by introducing a delay before restarting after a power interruption or temperature change. This protects the equipment and extends its lifespan. The delay time can usually be adjusted in the advanced settings.

6.7 Anviwònman Alam

The controller can be configured to sound an alarm if the temperature exceeds or falls below a set range, or if the sensor malfunctions. Refer to the detailed manual for specific steps to set high/low temperature alarm thresholds and enable/disable the sensor fault alarm.

7. Antretyen

  • Netwayaj: Wipe the controller's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
  • Swen Sonde: Keep the temperature probe clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the probe cable.
  • Depo: Sere aparèy la nan yon kote ki fre epi sèk lè w pa ap itilize li, lwen limyè solèy dirèk ak tanperati ekstrèm.
  • Tcheke Koneksyon: Periodically inspect all electrical connections for wear or damage.
