5. Installation & Wiring

5.1. Dimensions

Ensure adequate space for mounting the thermostat. Refer to the dimensions below.

Figure 4: Dimensional drawing of the W3230 thermostat (in millimeters).

• Front Panel Size: 79mm (width) x 43mm (height)
• Mounting Hole Size: Typically 76mm x 39mm (check specific model for exact cutout)
• Depth: 26mm (main body) + 24mm (terminal block)

5.2. Wiring Diagram

WARNING: Ensure power is disconnected before performing any wiring. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the device or pose a safety hazard. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Figure 5: Wiring diagram for the 110-220V W3230 model.

• +VCC / -GND: Power input terminals. Connect your power supply (12V, 24V, or 110-220V depending on your model) to these terminals. Ensure correct polarity for DC models.
• S1 / S2: Temperature sensor input terminals. Connect the NTC temperature probe to these terminals. Polarity does not matter for the sensor.
• Load (Relay Output): These are the relay output terminals. Connect your heating or cooling device (load) to these terminals. The relay acts as a switch, opening or closing the circuit to control your load based on the temperature settings.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On

After correct wiring, apply power to the thermostat. The PV display will show the current temperature, and the SV display will show the set temperature.

6.2. Setting Temperature

1. Press the SET button once. The SV display will start flashing.
2. Use the Up Arrow (+) and Down Arrow (-) keys to adjust the desired temperature (SV).
3. Press the SET button again to confirm the setting and exit the temperature setting mode. If no button is pressed for a few seconds, it will automatically save and exit.

6.3. Setting Operating Mode (Heating/Cooling) and Parameters

The W3230 typically has various programmable parameters (P0-P6) to configure its operation, such as heating/cooling mode, hysteresis, temperature correction, etc.

1. Press and hold the SET button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the display shows "P0". This enters the parameter setting mode.
2. Use the Up Arrow (+) or Down Arrow (-) keys to navigate through the parameters (P0, P1, P2, etc.).
3. Once you are on the desired parameter (e.g., P0 for heating/cooling mode), press the SET button once. The value for that parameter will flash.
4. Use the Up Arrow (+) or Down Arrow (-) keys to change the parameter's value.
   
   • P0 (Heating/Cooling Mode): Set to 'H' for Heating (output turns on when temperature is below set point) or 'C' for Cooling (output turns on when temperature is above set point).
   • P1 (Hysteresis/Return Difference): Sets the temperature difference before the relay switches back.
   • Other parameters (P2-P6) may include maximum/minimum set limits, temperature correction, delay start, etc. Refer to specific model documentation for full details.
5. Press the SET button again to confirm the parameter value.
6. To exit the parameter setting mode, press and hold the SET button again for 3-5 seconds, or wait for it to automatically exit after a period of inactivity.

6.4. Restart Function

Press the Restart button to reset the device. This may clear temporary settings or restart the control cycle.

7. Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the thermostat to extreme temperatures, humidity, or corrosive environments.
• Regularly check wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
• Do not attempt to open the casing or repair the device yourself, as this may void the warranty and pose a safety risk.
