4. Setup and Wiring

Proper wiring is crucial for the safe and correct operation of the XH-W3001 temperature controller. Please follow the diagram below carefully.

Wiring Instructions:

1. Power Input: Connect your 24V DC power supply to the designated input terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -).
2. Load Output: Connect the device you wish to control (e.g., heater, fan) to the output terminals. The controller provides a direct output.
3. Temperature Probe: Insert the NTC10K waterproof probe into the probe input port. The probe is used to detect the current temperature.

Important Note:

• The XH-W3001 provides a direct output. To prevent potential short circuits or ignition, do not power on the device if the output terminal is not connected to a load.
• Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent electrical hazards.

5. Operating Instructions

The XH-W3001 controller allows you to set both a start temperature and a stop temperature to manage your heating or cooling applications.

5.1. Setting the Start Temperature

1. Press the Up button once. The display will show the current start temperature.
2. Press and hold the Up button for approximately 3 seconds. The start temperature number on the display will begin to flash.
3. Use the Up and Down buttons to adjust the value to your desired start temperature.
4. The setting will automatically save after a few seconds of inactivity, or you can press both Up and Down buttons simultaneously to confirm.

5.2. Setting the Stop Temperature

1. Press the Down button once. The display will show the current stop temperature.
2. Press and hold the Down button for approximately 3 seconds. The stop temperature number on the display will begin to flash.
3. Use the Up and Down buttons to adjust the value to your desired stop temperature.
4. The setting will automatically save after a few seconds of inactivity, or you can press both Up and Down buttons simultaneously to confirm.

5.3. Operating Modes

• Heating Mode: To operate in heating mode, set the start temperature to be lower than the stop temperature. The controller will activate the load when the temperature drops below the start temperature and deactivate it when it reaches the stop temperature.
• Cooling Mode: To operate in cooling mode, set the start temperature to be higher than the stop temperature. The controller will activate the load when the temperature rises above the start temperature and deactivate it when it drops to the stop temperature.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your RUIZHI XH-W3001 temperature controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the controller to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or corrosive environments beyond its specified operating range.
• Connection Checks: Periodically inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
• Probe Inspection: Regularly check the waterproof temperature probe for any signs of physical damage, kinks in the cable, or corrosion. Replace if necessary to maintain accuracy.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your XH-W3001 controller, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Display Not Working:
  • Check the power supply connections. Ensure the 24V DC input is correctly connected and providing power.
  • Verify the power source is functional.
• Incorrect Temperature Readings:
  • Ensure the temperature probe is correctly inserted and securely connected to the controller.
  • Check the probe for any physical damage or corrosion.
  • Make sure the probe is properly positioned in the environment or medium where temperature is to be measured.
• Controller Not Activating Load:
  • Verify the load (e.g., heater, fan) is correctly wired to the output terminals and is functional.
  • Check that the load's power consumption does not exceed the controller's maximum output of 240W (10A).
  • Review your set start and stop temperatures to ensure they are configured correctly for the desired heating or cooling mode.
  • Confirm the current temperature is within the range that should trigger the load according to your settings.
• Device Overheating:
  • Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the controller.
  • Verify that the connected load is within the specified power limits.
