6. Bedienungsanleitung
The Inkbird ITC-100VH features a user-friendly interface for setting and monitoring temperature. The upper display (PV) shows the current process temperature, while the lower display (SV) shows the set target temperature.
Grundlegende Bedienung:
- Einschalten: Once wired correctly, apply power to the controller. The displays will light up.
- Einstelltemperatur (SV): Drücken Sie die SATZ button to enter the setting mode. Use the arrow keys (▲ / ▼) to adjust the Set Value (SV). Press SATZ erneut, um zu bestätigen und zu beenden.
- Überwachung: In normal operating mode, the PV display shows the actual temperature, and the SV display shows your target temperature.
- Ausgangsanzeige: The 'OUT' indicator will illuminate when the control output is active. The 'AL1' and 'AL2' indicators will light up when the respective alarms are triggered.
Erweiterte Einstellungen (Parameterkonfiguration):
The controller has various parameters for fine-tuning its operation, including sensor type, control mode (PID/ON-OFF), alarm settings, and self-tuning. Accessing and modifying these parameters typically involves pressing and holding the SATZ button for several seconds to enter the parameter menu. Consult the full technical manual for a complete list of parameters and their functions.
- Sensortyp: Ensure the controller is configured for the correct sensor type (e.g., K, PT100) to ensure accurate readings.
- PID Auto-Tuning: The self-adjust function (AT/RUN button) can automatically calculate optimal PID parameters for your specific heating/cooling system, improving control accuracy and stability.
- Alarmeinstellungen: Configure alarm thresholds and modes (e.g., high limit, low limit) for the relay alarm output.
