2. Safety Information

• Read all instructions carefully before use.
• Ensure the power supply voltage matches the controller's requirements (240 Volts).
• Do not immerse the controller unit or its power outlets in water. The probe is waterproof, but the main unit is not.
• Keep the device away from children.
• Do not disassemble or modify the device. Unauthorized modifications may lead to electric shock or malfunction.
• Always unplug the controller from the power outlet before cleaning or performing maintenance.
• Ensure connected appliances do not exceed the controller's maximum current rating.

3. Product Overview

The DHTC-1011-1ZJ controller features a clear LED display, intuitive buttons, and dedicated outlets for temperature and humidity control. The device includes a combined temperature and humidity sensor probe.

3.1 Components

4. Setup

1. Unpack the Controller: Carefully remove the controller and all components from the packaging.
2. Connect the Sensor Probe: Plug the temperature and humidity sensor probe into the designated port on the controller. Ensure it is securely connected.
3. Position the Sensor: Place the sensor probe in the environment where temperature and humidity need to be monitored and controlled. Avoid placing it directly in water unless specifically designed for submersible use (the probe itself is waterproof, but ensure connections are dry).
4. Plug in Appliances: Connect your heating/cooling device to the 'TEMPERATURE' outlet and your humidifying/dehumidifying device to the 'HUMIDITY' outlet.
5. Power On: Plug the controller's power cord into a suitable 240V electrical outlet. The display will light up, showing current temperature and humidity readings.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Setting Temperature Parameters

1. Press the SET button once. The temperature display will flash.
2. Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow buttons to adjust the desired temperature set point.
3. Press SET again to confirm and move to the next parameter, or wait a few seconds for the setting to save automatically.

5.2 Setting Humidity Parameters

1. After setting the temperature, or by pressing SET multiple times, navigate to the humidity setting. The humidity display will flash.
2. Use the Up Arrow or Down Arrow buttons to adjust the desired humidity set point.
3. Press SET again to confirm, or wait for automatic saving.

5.3 Advanced Settings (Calibration, Delay, Alarms)

To access advanced settings such as temperature calibration, compressor delay, and high/low alarms, refer to the detailed instructions provided in the full product manual or on the manufacturer's website. These settings are typically accessed by pressing and holding the SET button for several seconds until the advanced menu appears.

• Temperature Calibration: Adjusts the temperature reading to match a known accurate thermometer.
• Compressor Delay: Protects cooling equipment by preventing rapid cycling.
• High/Low Alarms: Set thresholds for temperature and humidity to trigger an alarm.
• Celsius/Fahrenheit Display: Switch between °C and °F as needed.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the controller unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning.
• Sensor Probe Care: Keep the sensor probe clean and free from debris. If used in wet environments, periodically check for mineral buildup and gently clean with a damp cloth.
• Storage: When not in use, store the controller in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
