3. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before installing or operating this device. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the product.

• Ensure the power supply voltage matches the controller's specifications (12V DC, 24V DC, or 220V AC).
• All wiring should be performed by a qualified individual and conform to local electrical codes.
• Disconnect power before making any wiring connections or performing maintenance.
• Do not expose the controller unit to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures beyond its operating range.
• The waterproof probe is designed for liquid immersion; however, ensure the main controller unit remains dry.

4. Setup and Wiring

Proper wiring is crucial for the safe and correct operation of the temperature controller. Refer to the diagram below for connection details.

Wiring Instructions:

1. Power Supply: Connect the power input wires (typically red and black for DC, or two wires for AC) to the designated 'Power Supply' terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity for DC models.
2. Output: Connect your heating or cooling device (e.g., heater, fan, compressor) to the 'Output' terminals. The controller acts as a switch, providing power to your device when activated.
3. Temperature Sensor: Plug the NTC10K waterproof temperature probe into the 'Temperature Sensor' port. The sensor is typically a 2-pin plug for easy connection.

After wiring, ensure all connections are secure before applying power.

5. Operating Instructions

The XH-W3001 and XH-W3002 controllers operate similarly, allowing you to set a start temperature and a stop temperature to maintain a desired range.

Setting Start and Stop Temperatures (XH-W3001 & XH-W3002):

1. Set Start Temperature:
   a. Press the UP button once to display the current start temperature.
   b. Long press the UP button until the temperature display flashes.
   c. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the desired start temperature value.
   d. Press any other button or wait a few seconds for the setting to save automatically.
2. Set Stop Temperature:
   a. Press the DOWN button once to display the current stop temperature.
   b. Long press the DOWN button until the temperature display flashes.
   c. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the desired stop temperature value.
   d. Press any other button or wait a few seconds for the setting to save automatically.

Working Modes:

• Heating Mode: If the Start Temperature is set less than the Stop Temperature, the controller operates in heating mode. The output will activate when the temperature drops below the start temperature and deactivate when it reaches the stop temperature.
• Cooling Mode: If the Start Temperature is set greater than the Stop Temperature, the controller operates in cooling mode. The output will activate when the temperature rises above the start temperature and deactivate when it drops to the stop temperature.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your temperature controller, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the controller's surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Sensor Care: Keep the temperature probe clean. Avoid bending or damaging the probe cable.
• Environment: Store and operate the controller in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ESSISH temperature controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display Not Working:
  - Check power supply connections. Ensure the correct voltage (12V DC, 24V DC, or 220V AC) is applied.
  - Verify the power source is active.
• Temperature Reading Incorrect:
  - Ensure the temperature probe is properly connected to the controller.
  - Check if the probe is correctly positioned in the environment you wish to measure.
  - The probe itself might be damaged; consider replacing it if available.
• Output Not Activating/Deactivating:
  - Verify the start and stop temperatures are set correctly for your desired heating or cooling mode.
  - Check the wiring to your heating/cooling device. Ensure it is properly connected to the 'Output' terminals.
  - Confirm the load power of your device does not exceed the controller's maximum output capacity (10A max).
• Display Flashing:
  - This usually indicates the controller is in setting mode. Press a button or wait for a few seconds for the setting to save.

If problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
