4. Opsætningsvejledning

1. Tilslut strøm: Plug the main power cord of the ITC-306T into a standard 120V AC power outlet. The display will illuminate.
2. Connect Heating Devices: Plug your heating devices (e.g., heat mats, heat lamps) into the two output sockets labeled 'WORK1' and 'WORK2'. Ensure the total wattagEffekten af ​​tilsluttede enheder overstiger ikke 1200 W.
3. Position Temperaturføler: Place the stainless steel temperature probe in the area where temperature control is needed. Ensure the probe is securely positioned and not directly exposed to heating elements.
4. Første opstart: The device will display the current temperature read by the probe.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1. Basic Temperature Setting (Common Settings)

1. Gå ind i menuen Indstillinger: Power on the controller. Press and hold the SÆT button for 3 seconds to enter the settings menu.
2. Set Target Temperature (TS1): Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set your desired target temperature (e.g., 78.5°F).
3. Set Temperature Deviation (DS1): Tryk på SÆT button again to move to the deviation setting. Use Up and Down arrows to set the desired temperature deviation (e.g., 2°F). When the temperature drops to (TS1 - DS1), the heating device will activate. Both heating outputs will turn on/off synchronously.
4. Save Settings and Exit: Tryk og hold på SÆT button for 3 seconds to save your settings and exit the menu.

Step 1: Entering the settings menu.

Step 2: Setting the target temperature (TS1).

Step 3: Setting the temperature deviation (DS1).

Step 4: Saving settings and exiting.

5.2. Avancerede indstillinger

The ITC-306T offers several advanced settings for fine-tuning control. Access these by entering the settings menu (press and hold SET) and cycling through the options using the SET button.

• AH: High-Temperature Alarm: Set the maximum allowable temperature. If the probe reads above this, an alarm will sound.
• AL: Low-Temperature Alarm: Set the minimum allowable temperature. If the probe reads below this, an alarm will sound.
• CA: Calibration: Adjust the temperature reading to match a known accurate thermometer.
• CF: °F/°C Switch: Toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius display units.
• ALM: Alarm ON/OFF: Enable or disable the temperature alarms.
• TR: Access Time Cycle Featured Settings: Enter the time cycle programming mode.

5.3. Timer Cycle Featured Settings (Day & Night)

To set different temperatures for day and night cycles:

1. Access Time Cycle Settings: In the advanced settings menu, set TR=1 to enable and access the second temperature control settings.
2. Set Second Target Temperature (TS2) and Deviation (DS2): Set the second target temperature (e.g., 68°F) and its deviation (e.g., 2°F). When the temperature drops to (TS2 - DS2), the heating device will activate.
3. Set 24-Hour Time Cycle (TAH:TAM ~ TBH:TBM): Set the time period for the first target temperature (TS1) (e.g., 08:00 ~ 18:00). The time period TBH:TBM (Hour:Minute) ~ TAH:TAM (Hour:Minute) (next day) will automatically apply to the second target temperature (TS2) (e.g., 18:00 ~ 08:00 the next day).
4. Set Current Time (CTH:CTM): Set the current hour (CTH) and current minute (CTM) for the controller. Press and hold the SÆT knappen for at gemme indstillinger og forlade menuen.

Step 1: Enabling time cycle settings.

Step 2: Setting TS2 and DS2.

Step 3: Configuring the 24-hour time cycle.

Step 4: Setting the current time (CTH and CTM).

8. Fejlfinding

• Display Not Working / No Power: Ensure the main power cord is securely plugged into a functional 120V AC outlet. Check for any tripped circuit breakers.
• Temperaturaflæsning unøjagtig: Verify the temperature probe is correctly positioned and not directly touching heating elements or exposed to drafts. Use the calibration (CA) setting in advanced options to fine-tune the reading if necessary.
• Heating Device Not Activating: Check if the target temperature (TS1/TS2) and deviation (DS1/DS2) are set correctly. Ensure the current temperature is below the activation threshold. Verify that the heating devices are properly plugged into the output sockets and are functional. Check if the total wattage exceeds 1200W, which could prevent activation.
• Alarms Sounding Unexpectedly: Review the High-Temperature Alarm (AH) and Low-Temperature Alarm (AL) settings. Adjust them to appropriate levels for your application. Ensure the ALM setting is configured as desired.
• Time Cycle Not Functioning: Confirm that TR is set to 1 in the advanced settings to enable time cycle features. Verify that the time periods (TAH:TAM ~ TBH:TBM) and current time (CTH:CTM) are set correctly.

9. Vedligeholdelse

• Rensning: Tør styreenheden af ​​med en blød, tør klud. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler, og enheden må ikke nedsænkes i vand.
• Probepleje: Keep the temperature probe clean. Avoid bending or damaging the probe cable.
• Opbevaring: Opbevar enheden på et køligt, tørt sted, når det ikke er i brug.
