2. Battery Installation (Remote Control)

1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control unit.
2. Open the compartment cover.
3. Insert the required batteries (typically AAA, check markings inside the compartment) ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

3. Initial Power-Up and Placement

1. Plug the receiver unit into a standard electrical outlet. The power indicator on the receiver may light up.
2. The remote control unit should power on automatically once batteries are installed.
3. Place the remote control unit in the area where you wish to monitor and control the temperature. Ensure it is within the wireless range (50-100m) of the receiver and not obstructed by large metal objects. The remote contains the temperature sensor.

Operating Instructions

1. Understanding the Display and Buttons

The remote control features an LCD display and several buttons for operation:

• LCD Display: Shows current temperature, RUN temperature, STOP temperature, and operating mode.
• SET Button: Enters programming mode.
• Up/Down Arrows: Adjust temperature values and navigate settings.
• M Button: Mode selection or confirmation.

2. Switching Temperature Units (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit:

1. Press and hold the 'M' button for a few seconds until the unit changes.
2. Release the button. The display will show the new temperature unit.

3. Setting RUN and STOP Temperatures (Heating/Cooling Modes)

The thermostat operates by turning a connected device ON when the temperature reaches the RUN value and OFF when it reaches the STOP value. The behavior depends on whether you configure it for heating or cooling.

For Heating Devices:

Connect your heating device (e.g., space heater) to the receiver outlet. In heating mode, the device turns ON when the ambient temperature falls below the RUN setting and turns OFF when it reaches the STOP setting. Therefore, the RUN temperature should be lower than the STOP temperature.

1. Press the 'SET' button once. The RUN temperature will flash.
2. Use the Up/Down arrows to set your desired RUN temperature (e.g., 22°C / 72°F). This is the temperature at which the heater will activate.
3. Press 'SET' again. The STOP temperature will flash.
4. Use the Up/Down arrows to set your desired STOP temperature (e.g., 26°C / 79°F). This is the temperature at which the heater will deactivate.
5. Press 'SET' a third time to confirm and exit programming mode.

Example: If you set RUN to 22°C and STOP to 26°C, the heater will turn on when the room temperature drops to 22°C and turn off when it reaches 26°C.

For Cooling Devices:

Connect your cooling device (e.g., air conditioner) to the receiver outlet. In cooling mode, the device turns ON when the ambient temperature rises above the RUN setting and turns OFF when it reaches the STOP setting. Therefore, the RUN temperature should be higher than the STOP temperature.

1. Press the 'SET' button once. The RUN temperature will flash.
2. Use the Up/Down arrows to set your desired RUN temperature (e.g., 26°C / 79°F). This is the temperature at which the air conditioner will activate.
3. Press 'SET' again. The STOP temperature will flash.
4. Use the Up/Down arrows to set your desired STOP temperature (e.g., 22°C / 72°F). This is the temperature at which the air conditioner will deactivate.
5. Press 'SET' a third time to confirm and exit programming mode.

Example: If you set RUN to 26°C and STOP to 22°C, the air conditioner will turn on when the room temperature rises to 26°C and turn off when it reaches 22°C.

Figure 6: Visual representation of the thermostat switching between cooling and heating modes. The image displays two remote screens, one showing cooling settings (RUN 72°F, STOP 80°F) and the other heating settings (RUN 76°F, STOP 84°F), with an arrow indicating the switchable functionality.

4. Backlight Operation

The LCD display features a backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions. The backlight typically activates automatically when any button is pressed and remains on for a short period before dimming.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance and appearance:

• Wipe the surfaces of both the remote control and receiver with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the device.
• Ensure no liquid enters the device openings.

2. Battery Replacement (Remote Control)

When the remote control's display becomes dim or unresponsive, it's time to replace the batteries. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup for detailed steps.

3. Storage

If storing the device for an extended period, remove the batteries from the remote control to prevent leakage and potential damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DIGITEN WTC100, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

1. Remote Control Display is Blank or Dim

• Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace with fresh batteries if necessary.
• Battery Polarity: Verify that the batteries are inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation.

2. Receiver Unit Not Responding to Remote Control

• Range: Ensure the remote control is within the effective wireless range (50-100m) of the receiver.
• Obstructions: Large metal objects, thick walls, or other electronic devices can interfere with the wireless signal. Try repositioning the remote or receiver.
• Power to Receiver: Confirm the receiver is securely plugged into a live electrical outlet.
• Re-pairing: Although typically plug-and-play, if communication issues persist, consult the manufacturer's specific instructions for re-pairing the remote and receiver if such a function exists (not explicitly mentioned in provided data, but a common troubleshooting step).

3. Inaccurate Temperature Readings

• Sensor Placement: The remote control contains the temperature sensor. Ensure it is placed in an area that accurately reflects the desired ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources.
• Calibration: The device does not appear to have a user-adjustable calibration feature. If readings are consistently off, consider the offset and adjust your RUN/STOP settings accordingly.

4. Device Not Turning On/Off at Set Temperatures

• RUN/STOP Settings: Double-check your RUN and STOP temperature settings. Ensure they are correctly configured for either heating (RUN < STOP) or cooling (RUN > STOP) as intended.
• Connected Device: Verify that the heating or cooling device plugged into the receiver is functioning correctly and is switched ON.
