KETOTEK KT99 Temperature Controller User Manual

1. Overview

The KETOTEK KT99 is a versatile digital thermostat regulator designed for precise temperature control in various applications. It features two independent direct outputs and comes with two 1.5m NTC waterproof sensors, allowing it to manage two separate heating or cooling devices simultaneously. The unit displays temperature in Fahrenheit and offers a wide control range from -58°F to 248°F.

Key features include:

• Dual Independent Outputs: Control two devices (heater/cooler) with separate temperature settings.
• Wide Control Range: Operates from -58°F to 248°F, suitable for diverse environments.
• Compressor Delay Time: Adjustable delay (0-5 minutes) for cooler protection.
• High/Low Temperature Alarms: Set alarm values to protect equipment and environments.
• Data Storage & Reset: All parameter settings are saved after power loss and can be reset.
• Temperature Calibration: ±1°F control accuracy with a calibration range of -30°F to 30°F.

2. Setup and Installation

Proper installation and wiring are crucial for the safe and effective operation of your KT99 temperature controller. Please follow these instructions carefully.

2.1 Wiring Diagram

The KT99 controller operates on 120V AC power. It provides two independent 120V outputs for connecting your heating or cooling loads. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.

Figure 2.1: Wiring diagram for the KT99. Connect 120V power supply to the central red and black wires. Output 1 (black and yellow wires) and Output 2 (red and yellow wires) provide 120V to connected loads. Warning: Outputs are live when the indicator light is on.

• Power Supply: Connect your 120V AC power source to the central red and black wires.
• Output 1 (Heater/Cooler): Connect your first load (e.g., heater or cooler) to the black and yellow wires labeled 'Output 1'.
• Output 2 (Heater/Cooler): Connect your second load to the red and yellow wires labeled 'Output 2'.
• Sensors: Plug the two NTC waterproof sensors into their respective ports on the controller.

Important Safety Note: The output terminals provide direct 120V power when active. Exercise extreme caution during wiring and ensure power is disconnected before making any connections. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about the wiring process.

2.2 Physical Installation

The KT99 is designed for easy integration into various setups. Its compact size allows for flexible placement.
