4. Safety Information

Please read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before using this product to prevent injury or damage. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Ensure the power supply matches the device's requirements (110V±15% AC).
• Do not expose the main unit or the humidity sensor to water or excessive moisture.
• Only the temperature sensor is waterproof.
• Do not disassemble or modify the device. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Keep out of reach of children.

5. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the controller and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Connect Sensors: Plug the temperature sensor into the designated port (TC) and the humidity sensor into its port (CH) on the controller.
3. Position Sensors: Place the temperature and humidity sensors in the environment you wish to control. Ensure the waterproof temperature sensor is placed where temperature needs to be measured, and the humidity sensor is in a dry location within the controlled area.
4. Power On: Plug the controller into a standard 110V AC power outlet. The display will light up, showing current temperature and humidity readings.
5. Mounting (Optional): The controller can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall using the keyholes on the back (refer to Figure 5).

6. Operating Instructions

The KT100pro features two main displays: one for temperature (TC) and one for humidity (CH), each with its own set of Up and Down buttons for setting parameters.

Setting Temperature Control (TC Outlet)

1. Set ON Temperature: Press the Up or Down button under the TC display. The display will flash. Use the Up/Down buttons to set the desired temperature at which the TC outlet should turn ON. Press any other button or wait a few seconds to confirm.
2. Set OFF Temperature: Repeat the process to set the desired temperature at which the TC outlet should turn OFF.
3. The TC outlet will control temperature within the set ON/OFF range.

Setting Humidity Control (CH Outlet)

1. Set ON Humidity: Press the Up or Down button under the CH display. The display will flash. Use the Up/Down buttons to set the desired humidity percentage at which the CH outlet should turn ON. Press any other button or wait a few seconds to confirm.
2. Set OFF Humidity: Repeat the process to set the desired humidity percentage at which the CH outlet should turn OFF.
3. The CH outlet will control humidity within the set ON/OFF range.

Alarm Settings

The device supports high and low temperature/humidity buzzer alarms. If the measured value exceeds the set alarm threshold, an audible alarm will sound.

Compressor Delay Protection

For cooling devices, the KT100pro includes a compressor delay function to prevent damage from rapid short cycling. This feature ensures the compressor has sufficient time to equalize pressure before restarting.

Calibration and Reset

The device allows for calibration of temperature and humidity readings to ensure accuracy. It also has a reset function to restore factory settings if needed. Consult the detailed instructions in the included user manual for specific steps on calibration and reset procedures.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the controller and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the main unit or humidity sensor in water.
• Sensor Care: Keep the sensors free from dust and debris to ensure accurate readings.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Display/Power: Ensure the controller is securely plugged into a working power outlet. Check for power outages.
• Inaccurate Readings: Verify that sensors are properly connected and positioned. Consider performing a calibration (refer to the Operating Instructions section or the full user manual).
• Output Not Activating: Check your set ON/OFF points for temperature and humidity. Ensure the connected appliance is working correctly and plugged into the correct outlet (TC for temperature, CH for humidity).
• Alarm Sounds Continuously: Check the current temperature/humidity against your set alarm thresholds. Adjust settings if necessary or address the environmental condition causing the alarm.
• Settings Lost After Power Cycle: The KT100pro is designed to save settings after power failure. If settings are lost, ensure the device is not being subjected to extreme power fluctuations.
