4. Keys Instruction
Power Key: Power On and Off, Confirm Setting Value, Save and Exit Function.
Up Key (▲): Choose Parameter, Increase Value and Check the Setting Temperature Value.
Down Key (▼): Choose Parameter, Decrease Value and Check the Setting Difference Value.
Set Key (S): Entry, Exit and Set Parameters.
C/F Display: Shows temperature in Degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
PV/SV Display: Displays Process Value, Set Value, and Parameter Menu.
Heat Indicator Lamp: On: Heating Start, Off: Heating Stop.

5. Key Operation Instruction
5.1 Check Parameter
In normal working status, press the Up Key (▲) once to display the setting temperature value; press the Down Key (▼) once to display the difference value.
5.2 Parameter Setting
In normal working status, press and hold the Set Key (S) for more than 3 seconds to enter set mode. The set indicator lamp will turn on, and the screen will display the first menu code "TS".
Press the Up Key (▲) or Down Key (▼) to move up or down the menu item and display the menu code.
Press the Set Key (S) to enter the parameter setting of the current menu; the parameter value will start to flash.
Press the Up Key (▲) or Down Key (▼) to adjust the parameter value of the current menu.
After setting, press the Set Key (S) to exit the parameter setting of the current menu; the parameter value will stop flashing. User can set other functions as above steps.
In any status, press the Power Key (ON/OFF) to save the parameter modified value and return to the normal temperature display.
If no operation occurs within 10 seconds, the system will automatically exit the menu and return to the normal temperature display status, without saving the modification.
5.3 Operating Instruction
In normal working status, press and hold the Power Key (ON/OFF) for more than 3 seconds to turn off the controller; in Power-off Status, press and hold the Power Key (ON/OFF) for more than 1 second to turn on the controller.
In normal working status, the screen displays the current measuring value, and the controller automatically switches between heating and cooling modes.
Cooling Mode: If the measuring temperature ≥ temperature set value + difference set value, the controller starts refrigerating. The cool indicator lamp lights on, and the refrigerating relay is connected. If the cool indicator lamp flashes, it indicates the refrigerating device is under compressor delay protection.
If the measuring temperature ≤ temperature set value, the cool indicator lamp turns off, and the refrigerating relay is disconnected.
Heating Mode: If the measuring temperature ≤ temperature set value - difference set value, the controller starts heating. The heat indicator lamp lights on, and the heating relay is connected.
If the measuring temperature ≥ temperature set value, the heat indicator lamp turns off, and the heating relay is disconnected.
