6. Setup and Wiring
Proper wiring is crucial for the safe and correct operation of the temperature controller. Refer to the wiring diagram below.
Wiring Instructions
- Power Supply: Connect the AC 110-220V power source to the +VCC and -GND terminals. Ensure correct polarity if applicable, though for AC, typically live and neutral.
- Load Connection: Connect your heating or cooling device (load) to the S1 and S2 terminals. These terminals act as a switch controlled by the internal relay.
- Sensor Connection: Plug the NTC temperature probe into the designated sensor port. Ensure it is securely connected.
- Verification: Double-check all connections before applying power. Incorrect wiring can damage the device or connected equipment.

This image includes a clear wiring diagram showing connections for +VCC, -GND, S1, S2, and the load, indicating a 110V-220V AC power input.
7. Operating Modes and Settings
The W3230 controller offers two main operating modes: Heating (H) and Cooling (C).
Basic Operation
- Power On: After connecting the power, the upper digital tube (PV) will display the current measured temperature, and the lower digital tube (SV) will display the preset temperature.
- Set Temperature: Press the 'SET' button once. The lower digital tube (SV) will flash. Use the 'Up' (▲) and 'Down' (▼) buttons to adjust the desired temperature. Press 'SET' again to confirm and exit, or wait 3 seconds for automatic saving.
- Restart: The 'Restart' button can be used to reset the device.
Parameter Settings (P0-P8)
To access advanced settings, press and hold the 'SET' button for approximately 5 seconds until the display shows 'P0'. Use the 'Up' (▲) and 'Down' (▼) buttons to navigate through the parameters (P0-P8). Press 'SET' once to enter a parameter's setting, use 'Up'/'Down' to change the value, and press 'SET' again to confirm. Hold 'SET' for 3 seconds or wait for 10 seconds to exit the parameter setting mode.
| Code | Function | Set Range | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0 | Heat/Cool Mode | H/C | C | H (Heating): Start temperature < Stop temperature. C (Cooling): Start temperature > Stop temperature. |
| P1 | Return Difference (Hysteresis) | 0.1°C ~ 30°C | 0.1°C | The difference between the set temperature and the temperature at which the relay switches off/on again to prevent frequent cycling. |
| P2 | Set Upper Limit | -55°C ~ 120°C | 120°C | Sets the maximum adjustable temperature for the user. |
| P3 | Set Lower Limit | -55°C ~ 120°C | -55°C | Sets the minimum adjustable temperature for the user. |
| P4 | Temperature Correction | -10°C ~ 10°C | 0°C | Allows for fine-tuning the temperature reading to match a reference thermometer. |
| P5 | Delayed Start Time | 0 ~ 10 min | 0 | Sets a delay before the relay activates after reaching the set temperature, useful for compressors. |
| P6 | High Temperature Alarm | -55°C ~ 120°C | 120°C | Sets a temperature threshold. If the actual temperature exceeds this, an alarm (HHH) may trigger. |
| P7 | Data Lock | ON/OFF | OFF | Locks the settings to prevent accidental changes. |
| P8 | Factory Reset | ON/OFF | OFF | Resets all parameters to their default factory settings. |
8. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your Greluma W3230 Digital Temperature Controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: 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: The stainless steel NTC probe is waterproof and resistant to rust. Periodically check the probe and its cable for any signs of damage or wear. Replace if necessary.
- Connections: Regularly inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Environmental Protection: Keep the main controller unit away from direct water exposure, excessive dust, and extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your temperature controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Display Code / Symptom | Reason for Error | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "-- --" | Temperature sensor is missing or damaged. | Check if the temperature sensor is properly installed. Reconnect or replace the temperature sensor. |
| HHH | Temperature exceeds the high alarm temperature (P6 setting). | Allow the temperature to drop below the alarm threshold. Check the P6 setting if the alarm is triggered too easily. |
| LLL | No temperature sensor detected. | Reconnect or replace the temperature sensor. Ensure it is securely plugged in. |
| Relay does not activate in heating mode. | Current temperature is above the set temperature, or P0 is set to Cooling. | Ensure P0 is set to 'H' (Heating). Verify the set temperature is higher than the current temperature. Check P1 (Hysteresis) setting. |
| Relay does not activate in cooling mode. | Current temperature is below the set temperature, or P0 is set to Heating. | Ensure P0 is set to 'C' (Cooling). Verify the set temperature is lower than the current temperature. Check P1 (Hysteresis) setting. |
| Settings are lost after power cycle. | Settings were not saved correctly. | Ensure you press 'SET' to confirm changes after adjusting a parameter. Wait 3 seconds for automatic saving after setting the target temperature. |
Note: In protection mode (e.g., high/low temperature protection), the relay is automatically disconnected to prevent damage.
