4. Setup and Wiring

Before connecting the module, ensure all power sources are disconnected. Refer to the labels on the terminal blocks for correct wiring.

Wiring Diagram (Conceptual):

  • Power Input: Connect a 12V DC power supply to the designated terminals (e.g., +12V and GND).
  • Load Output: Connect the device to be controlled (e.g., heating element, cooling fan) to the relay output terminals (K0, K1). The relay acts as a switch.
  • Temperature Probe: Connect the NTC temperature sensor probe to the dedicated sensor input terminals (e.g., T1, T2 or similar, typically a 2-pin connector).

Note: Specific terminal labels may vary slightly. Always verify with the markings on your module.

5. Operating Instructions

Once wired and powered, the module's digital display will show the current temperature. The three buttons (SET, +, -) are used for configuration.

Setting the Temperature:

  1. Press the SET button once. The display will flash, indicating it's in setting mode.
  2. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the desired temperature setpoint.
  3. Press SET again to confirm and save the setting, or wait a few seconds for it to automatically save and exit.

Advanced Settings (if applicable):

Some modules allow access to advanced parameters (e.g., heating/cooling mode, hysteresis, temperature calibration) by long-pressing the SET button. Refer to specific product documentation or online resources for detailed parameter codes and their functions if needed.

The module will automatically activate or deactivate the relay based on the set temperature and the current temperature reading, maintaining the desired environment with 0.1°C precision.

6. Maintenance

  • Keep the module clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Ensure proper ventilation around the module to prevent overheating.
  • Regularly inspect wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
  • Do not attempt to repair the module yourself if it is damaged. Contact qualified service personnel.

7. Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Display is blankNo power, incorrect wiring, faulty module.Check power supply (12V DC). Verify wiring connections. If problem persists, module may be faulty.
Incorrect temperature readingFaulty sensor, sensor not connected properly, sensor placed incorrectly.Ensure sensor is securely connected. Check sensor for damage. Reposition sensor for accurate ambient reading.
Relay not switchingTemperature not reaching setpoint, faulty relay, incorrect wiring of load.Verify setpoint and current temperature. Check load wiring. Test relay functionality if possible.
Module resets frequentlyUnstable power supply, electromagnetic interference.Ensure stable 12V DC power supply. Isolate module from strong electromagnetic fields.
