2. Connect Sensor: Ensure the external sensor probe is securely plugged into the designated port on the side of the controller.
3. Position Sensor: Place the sensor in the area where you wish to monitor and control humidity and temperature. Ensure it is not directly exposed to water or extreme conditions that could damage it.
4. Plug In: Insert the controller's plug into a standard 230V power outlet. The display will illuminate.
5. Connect Appliance: Plug your humidifier, dehumidifier, heater, or cooler into the socket on the front of the controller.

7. Operating Instructions

The controller features four buttons: MODE, SET, UP/CLK, and DOWN.

7.1. Switching Temperature Units (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F):

• Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds. The temperature unit on the display will change.

7.2. Selecting Operating Mode

The device supports four main operating modes: Humidification (HC mode), Dehumidification (HC mode), Heating (TC mode), and Cooling (TC mode). Press the MODE button repeatedly to cycle through these modes.

Figure 7.1: Examples of the four working modes and alarm settings.

7.3. Setting Humidity/Temperature Control Values

To set the desired start and stop values for humidity or temperature:

1. Press the MODE button to select either HC (Humidity Control) or TC (Temperature Control) mode.
2. Press the SET button once. The "Start Humidity" or "Start Temperature" value will begin to flash.
3. Use the UP/CLK and DOWN buttons to adjust the desired start value.
4. Press the SET button again. The "Stop Humidity" or "Stop Temperature" value will flash.
5. Use the UP/CLK and DOWN buttons to adjust the desired stop value.
6. Press the SET button a third time, or wait a few seconds, to save the settings and exit.

Note: For humidification/heating, the start value should be lower than the stop value. For dehumidification/cooling, the start value should be higher than the stop value.

7.4. Setting Alarm Function

The device can trigger an alarm if humidity or temperature goes outside a set range.

1. Press the MODE button to select either HC Alarm (Humidity Alarm) or TC Alarm (Temperature Alarm) mode.
2. Press the SET button once. The alarm threshold value will flash.
3. Use the UP/CLK and DOWN buttons to adjust the desired alarm threshold.
4. Press the SET button again, or wait a few seconds, to save the setting and exit.

When the measured humidity/temperature exceeds the set alarm value, the hygrostat will emit an audible alarm sound.

7.5. Calibration Function

To calibrate the humidity or temperature readings:

• Press and hold the UP/CLK button. The calibration value will appear and flash.
• Use the UP/CLK and DOWN buttons to adjust the calibration offset.
  • Humidity correction range: -10%RH to 10%RH
  • Temperature correction range: -9.9°C to 9.9°C
• Press and hold the MODE button to save the calibration and exit.

7.6. Other Functions
