Once installed and powered, the TSXT-213 will display the current temperature. The front panel buttons allow for parameter viewning og justering.
5.1 Grundlæggende betjening
- Viewing Temperature: The default display shows the current temperature measured by the probe.
- Adjusting Setpoints:
- Tryk på SÆT button to enter the setpoint adjustment mode.
- Brug Up og Ned buttons to change the desired temperature setpoint.
- Trykke SÆT again to confirm and save the new setpoint.
- Accessing Parameters: Tryk og hold på SÆT button for several seconds to access the programming menu. Use Up og Ned to navigate through parameters and SÆT for at vælge og bekræfte.
- AUX funktion: De AUX button typically controls an auxiliary function, such as manual defrost or light control, depending on configuration. Refer to the detailed programming manual for specific AUX button functionality.
5.2 Avanceret programmering
The TSXT-213 offers extensive programming options for compressor differential, defrost cycles, fan control, alarm thresholds, and master/slave configurations. These advanced settings are accessed through the programming menu. For detailed instructions on each parameter, consult the comprehensive programming guide provided by Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
Alternatively, the optional TS2-K programming key can be used for quick and efficient configuration of multiple units.
6. Vedligeholdelse
The Dwyer TSXT-213 is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. Regular checks can help ensure continued performance.
- Rensning: Periodically clean the front panel with a soft, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Sondeinspektion: Inspect the temperature probe and its wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion. Ensure the probe is securely positioned in its measurement location.
- Terminalforbindelser: Occasionally check electrical terminal connections for tightness, especially after initial installation or if the unit has been subjected to vibration.
- Softwareopdateringer: Tjek producentens website for any available firmware updates or new programming guides.
Advarsel: Disconnect power to the unit before performing any maintenance or cleaning to prevent electric shock.
7. Fejlfinding
This section provides solutions to common issues encountered with the TSXT-213. For problems not listed here, contact technical support.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Skærmen er tom | No power; incorrect wiring; internal fault. | Check power supply and wiring connections. Ensure 115 VAC is present. If power is confirmed, contact support. |
| Forkert temperaturaflæsning | Faulty probe; incorrect probe type selected in settings; poor probe connection. | Verify probe type (PTC/NTC) matches setting. Check probe wiring for damage or loose connections. Test probe if possible. Replace probe if faulty. |
| Relay outputs not activating | Setpoint not met; programming error; faulty relay. | Check setpoint and differential settings. Review programming parameters. Verify load connections. If all settings are correct and load is functional, relay may be faulty. |
| Enheden reagerer ikke på knaptryk | Unit locked; internal fault. | Check if the keypad is locked (refer to programming manual). Power cycle the unit. If issue persists, contact support. |
