Features & Specifications This kit has been developed especially to be combined with our K6000 or K6002 in order to create a tem- perature regulating and temperature control system. Combined with the K6000 kit, a completely programma- ble thermostat can be assembled. The use of a separate sensor offers the advantage of making the distance between the controller and the sensor irrelevant.

Assembly hints 1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! ) Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully. 1.1 Make sure you have the right tools: • A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.

AXIAL COMPONENTS ARE TAPED IN THE CORRECT MOUNTING SEQUENCE ! REMOVE THEM FROM THE TAPE ONE AT A TIME ! You will find the colour code for the resistances and the LEDs in the HALG (general manual) and on our website: http://www.velleman.be/common/service.aspx...

Preparing the sensor 12. Preparing the sensor Cut two 5cm pieces of the supplied copper wire (fig. 1.1). Using a knife, remove the varnish of both pieces of wire over some 3mm from the ends and tin the ends (fig. 1.1) Fig.

Preparing the sensor Cut off a piece of shrinking tube with a length equal to 5cm Slide the shrinking tube over the copper wires and OVER the sensor (fig. 1.4) Fig. 1.4 Heat the shrinking tube using a hair dryer or, better still, using a paint stripper. Connect the transmitter (type KTY11, KTY81-22 or equivalent) with the points SENSOR of the pcb, using a piece of screened wire (+/- 50cm).

Adjustment & use 13. Adjustment & use IMPORTANT : First have the circuit "warmed up" for about 10 minutes before starting adjusting! Connect the transmitter (type KTY11, KTY81-22 or equivalent) with the points SENSOR of the pcb, us- ing a piece of screened wire (+/- 50cm). The polarity is of no importance. Connect a DIGITAL measuring apparatus between the two connection wires of R2 and R7.

Adjustment & use Further adjustment with the controllers such as K6000, K6002 a. o. : Connect the output of the sensor (OUT + and -) with the points IN (+ and -) of the controller (this can be sensor 1 to 4 in the case of K6000) Plunge the transmitter into the melting ice again and adjust the ZERO trimming potentiometer RV2 so that the indication for this sensor indicates 0°C, and wait until the indication remains stable.

Connection 14. Mounting and connecting The pcb is made in such a way that it easily can be built into a standard wall box, on a blind cover plate. Make a hole in the cover plate to pass the sensor (KTY11, KTY81-22 or eq.) through. The sensor shouldn't touch the cover plate.
