4. Setup and Installation
Carefully follow these steps for proper setup and installation of your PIKIS SA30-W thermostat.
- Power Connection: Connect the input power supply to the DC6-30V or AC110-220V terminals as indicated on the device. Ensure correct polarity for DC power.
- Probe Connection:
- Connect the NTC 10K waterproof temperature probe to the designated NTC terminals (VCC, GND).
- If using an 18B20 digital sensor (not included by default), connect it to the 18B20 terminals (DQ, GND, 5V). Note that if an 18B20 sensor is connected, the device will automatically switch to using its temperature readings.
- Relay Switch Connection: Connect the load (e.g., heating element, cooling device) to the relay switch terminals. The relay acts as a simple switch and does not provide live power output. Ensure the load's power requirements are within the maximum control current of 30A.
- WIFI Module Connection: Connect the TTL communication interface of the thermostat to the WIFI communication module.

Important Notes:
- The product comes with an NTC waterproof sensor by default. The 18B20 digital sensor is not included.
- When an 18B20 sensor is connected, the temperature measurement will automatically switch to the 18B20 sensor's reading.
- The relay functions solely as a switch and does not provide live power output.
5. Operating Instructions
The PIKIS SA30-W can be controlled via its onboard buttons or through the dedicated mobile application.
5.1 Mobile APP Control
The mobile application provides comprehensive control and monitoring features. It supports both automatic and manual modes, along with emergency stop functions and timing delay cycles.
Figure 7: Screenshots of the mobile application interface, demonstrating the automatic mode (left) with threshold settings and the manual mode (right) for direct control. It also shows alarm notification settings and cloud record options.
- Automatic Mode: Set desired start and stop temperatures, and the device will automatically maintain the temperature within the specified range. You can also configure emergency stop timers.
- Manual Mode: Directly control the relay switch. This mode supports intelligent time control and timing delay cycles.
- Alarm Settings: Configure high and low-temperature thresholds to receive notifications.
- Cloud Recording: View and upload historical temperature data to the cloud.
- Firmware Updates: Check for and apply remote firmware updates.
5.2 Onboard Button Control
Use the physical buttons on the device to adjust settings directly. Refer to the on-screen prompts for navigation and parameter adjustment.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PIKIS SA30-W thermostat, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
- Probe Care: Keep the temperature probe clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the probe cable.
- Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, disconnect it from power and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check for and apply firmware updates via the mobile app to benefit from performance improvements and new features.
7. Troubleshooting (FAQ)
This section addresses common questions and issues you might encounter.
- Q: How can I set the device to operate only during specific hours, for example, from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM?
- A: You can achieve this by adding an emergency stop timer. Set the emergency stop to close at 6:00 PM and open at 5:00 AM. This will effectively limit operation to your desired timeframe.
- Q: Is it possible to set different target temperatures at different times, for example, 30°C at 6:00 AM and 50°C at 4:00 PM?
- A: Yes, this is easily done using the temperature appointment function within the app. Simply add two separate appointment tasks for the desired temperatures and times.
- Q: The device is not connecting to Wi-Fi. What should I do?
- A: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check that the Wi-Fi module is correctly connected to the thermostat's TTL interface. Verify your Wi-Fi password and network stability. Try restarting both the thermostat and your Wi-Fi router.
- Q: The temperature reading seems inaccurate.
- A: Check if the temperature probe is properly connected and fully immersed in the medium being measured (if applicable). Ensure the probe cable is not damaged. If you have both NTC and 18B20 sensors connected, remember the device prioritizes the 18B20 sensor. Calibrate the sensor if an option is available in the app.
