- Enter your Wi-Fi network password when prompted.
- Once connected, the device's display will show network information, and you can control it remotely via the app.
3.4 Probe Connection
Connect the temperature probe(s) to the designated port(s) on the ATORCH S1. Ensure the connection is secure. The device supports both waterproof and metal magnetic NTC probes, depending on your specific application.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Display Interface Overview
The 2.4-inch TFT-LCD HD display provides comprehensive information at a glance. Key elements include:
- Current Temperature: Real-time temperature reading from the connected probe.
- Start/Stop Temperature Set: Configured temperature thresholds for heating or cooling.
- Voltage (V), Current (A), Power (W): Real-time electrical parameters of the connected appliance.
- Electricity (kWh): Accumulated energy consumption.
- Frequency (Hz), Power Factor (PF): Additional electrical measurements.
- Overload Indicators: Warnings for Over-Voltage (OVP), Over-Current (OCP), and Over-Power (OPP).
- Date, Time, and Air Temperature: When connected to WiFi, the device displays calendar week and local air temperature data.
4.2 Operating Modes
The S1 supports three main operating modes, configurable via the mobile app:
- Switch Interface (ON/OFF): Simple on/off control for the connected appliance.
- Heating Mode Control: Maintains temperature above a set minimum.
- Cooling Mode Control: Maintains temperature below a set maximum.
4.3 Temperature Setting (Heating/Cooling)
To set the desired temperature range for heating or cooling:
- Open the Tuya or Smart Life app and select your S1 device.
- Navigate to the Heating or Cooling mode settings.
- Adjust the "Heating Start Temp" and "Heating Stop Temp" for heating mode, or "Cooling Start Temp" and "Cooling Stop Temp" for cooling mode.
- Ensure the stop temperature is at least one degree higher (for heating) or lower (for cooling) than the start temperature to prevent rapid cycling.
4.4 Timer Functions
The app allows you to set schedules for ON/OFF, heating, and cooling modes:
- In the app, navigate to the "Timing" section.
- You can set a timer switch to turn the device on or off at specific times, similar to a remote and timing switch.
- For heating or cooling modes, you can set specific temperature timing schedules.
- Configure repeat days (e.g., daily, specific days of the week) and notifications as needed.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Firmware Upgrade
ATORCH regularly releases new firmware to enhance features and performance. You can upgrade the device firmware remotely via the mobile app:
- Open the Tuya or Smart Life app.
- Navigate to your S1 device settings.
- Look for "Device Upgrade" or "Firmware Upgrade" option (usually in the upper right corner).
- Follow the on-screen prompts to update the firmware. Ensure the device remains powered during the upgrade process.
5.2 Probe Care
- Do not expose the temperature probes or their metal wires to fire.
- Do not immerse metal magnetic probes in water, as this may lead to inaccurate measurements or damage.
5.3 Cleaning
Wipe the device with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow liquids to enter the device.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Overload Protection
The S1 features automatic power-off protection for over-voltage, over-current, and over-power conditions. If the device shuts down unexpectedly, check the connected appliance's power consumption and ensure it does not exceed the S1's maximum ratings (16A, 3680W).
6.2 WiFi Connection Issues
- Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. The S1 does not support 5GHz networks.
- Verify your Wi-Fi password is correct.
- Move the S1 closer to your Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
- Restart your router and the S1 device, then attempt pairing again.
6.3 Inaccurate Temperature Readings
- Check if the probe is correctly connected and not damaged.
- Ensure the probe is placed appropriately for the environment being measured (e.g., waterproof probe in water, metal probe for surface contact).
- Avoid exposing probes to extreme conditions outside their specified operating range.
