The rear panel contains the wiring terminals for power input, sensor connection, and load output. Refer to the wiring diagram on the unit's label for specific connections.
5. Setup
5.1 Mounting
The ED-106 is designed for panel mounting. Ensure the mounting hole dimensions are appropriate for the controller. Secure the unit firmly using the provided clips or mounting hardware.
- Cut a rectangular opening in the panel according to the controller's dimensions.
- Insert the controller into the opening from the front.
- Secure the controller from the rear using the mounting brackets.
5.2 Wiring
WARNING: Ensure power is disconnected before wiring. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the unit or electrical shock.
Refer to the wiring diagram printed on the back of the controller (see Image 2) and the following general guidelines:
- Power Input: Connect the main power supply (Live and Neutral) to the designated terminals. Verify the voltage matches the controller's requirements (e.g., 220V AC).
- Temperature Sensor: Connect the temperature probe to the sensor input terminals. Ensure correct polarity if applicable.
- Load Output: Connect the device to be controlled (e.g., compressor, heater) to the relay output terminals. The controller acts as a switch for this load. Ensure the load's current draw does not exceed the relay's maximum rating.
It is highly recommended to consult a qualified electrician for wiring if you are unsure.
5.3 Initial Power-Up
After completing all wiring, apply power to the controller. The display should light up, showing the current temperature measured by the sensor. If the display does not light up or shows an error code, immediately disconnect power and check the wiring.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Viewing Current Temperature
Upon power-up, the controller will display the current temperature detected by the sensor.
6.2 Setting the Target Temperature (Set Point)
- Press the SET button once. The display will flash the current set point temperature.
- Use the ▲ Up or ▼ Down buttons to adjust the set point to your desired temperature.
- Press the SET button again to save the new set point and return to the normal display. If no button is pressed for a few seconds, the controller will automatically save the setting and exit.
6.3 Accessing Advanced Parameters
To access advanced settings (e.g., temperature differential, calibration, delay time), typically a long press of the SET button or a combination of buttons is required. Specific parameter codes and their functions are usually detailed in a separate table or section. (As specific parameters are not provided, this section is generalized. Refer to the device's on-unit label or manufacturer's full documentation for detailed parameter codes.)
- Press and hold the SET button for approximately 3-5 seconds until a parameter code (e.g., "F1", "P0") appears on the display.
- Use the ▲ Up or ▼ Down buttons to scroll through the parameter codes.
- Once the desired parameter code is displayed, press the SET button again to view its current value.
- Use the ▲ Up or ▼ Down buttons to adjust the value.
- Press the SET button to save the new value and return to the parameter code list.
- To exit the advanced parameter settings, press and hold the SET button again for 3-5 seconds, or wait for the controller to time out automatically.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the controller's surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquid enters the unit.
- Sensor Care: Ensure the temperature sensor is clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the sensor cable.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Controller does not power on. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; faulty unit. | Check power connections; verify wiring against diagram; contact support if unit is faulty. |
| Display shows "HHH" or "LLL". | Sensor error (open circuit, short circuit, out of range). | Check sensor connection; replace sensor if damaged. |
| Temperature reading is inaccurate. | Sensor placement; calibration needed. | Relocate sensor to a representative area; perform temperature calibration (refer to advanced parameters). |
| Load (e.g., compressor) does not turn on/off. | Incorrect set point; wiring error; faulty relay. | Verify set point and differential settings; check load wiring; ensure load is functional. |
