6. Istruzioni per l'installazione

  1. Collegare la sonda: Plug the submersible temperature probe into the designated port on the main controller unit. Use the provided suction cup to secure the probe inside your aquarium or water bath, ensuring it is fully submerged and away from direct heat sources or strong currents.
  2. Collegare i dispositivi di riscaldamento/raffreddamento: Plug your heating device (e.g., aquarium heater) into the 'HEATING' outlet and your cooling device (e.g., cooling fan) into the 'COOLING' outlet on the power strip. Ensure devices are rated within the controller's maximum output load (1200W).
  3. Accensione: Plug the main power cord of the ITC308S controller into a standard 110V AC power outlet. The LED display will illuminate, showing the current temperature (PV) and the set temperature (SV).

7. Istruzioni per l'uso

  1. View Current Temperature (PV): The upper LED display shows the current measured temperature (Process Value).
  2. View Temperatura impostata (SV): The lower LED display shows the desired set temperature (Set Value).
  3. Imposta temperatura:
    • Premere il tasto IMPOSTATO una volta il pulsante. Il display SV lampeggerà.
    • Utilizzare il Su (▲) or Giù (▼) pulsanti per regolare la temperatura desiderata.
    • Premere IMPOSTATO nuovamente per confermare e salvare l'impostazione oppure attendere qualche secondo affinché venga salvata automaticamente.
  4. Indicazione riscaldamento/raffreddamento: The 'HEATING' or 'COOLING' indicator lights will illuminate when the respective outlet is active.
  5. Calibrazione della temperatura: Refer to the detailed instructions in the included paper manual for advanced settings like temperature calibration, differential settings, and alarm parameters. These settings allow fine-tuning of the controller's response.
  6. Allarmi: The controller features over-temperature and sensor fault alarms. If an alarm triggers, the display will show an error code (e.g., 'HHH' for over-temperature, 'LLL' for under-temperature, 'ERR' for sensor fault) and an audible alert may sound. Address the issue promptly.

8. Manutenzione

  • Pulizia della sonda: Regularly inspect and clean the submersible probe to prevent algae or mineral buildup, which can affect accuracy. Use a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution if necessary.
  • Unità di controllo: Wipe the main controller unit with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse it in water.
  • Ispezione dei cavi: Periodically check all cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary.
