Controlling Function Description

Button Description

Restore to Factory Settings

Press and hold the decrease button to power on, the buzzer will beep once, that all parameters will restore to the factory settings.

Power Button

In any case, press and hold for 2 seconds to turn off, there will be no output. After power off, short press to turn on the power. In the power on state, short press to turn on or pause the socket power. In the paused state, PV displays the current temperature, SV displays "P", there will be no output.

Quickly Set the Control Temperature Mode

Tap "SET" button to enter the quick setting control temperature mode, SV displays the temperature setting value1 and flashes. At this time, press or to increase or decrease the setting value. Long press and hold the or button to increase or decrease the setting value quickly. Then press again SET button, SV displays the temperature setting value2 and flashing, At this time, press or to increase or decrease the setting value. Long press and hold the or button to increase or decrease the setting value quickly, press SET button again to confirm and exit. If there is no operation, it will automatically exit after 10 seconds and save the set value.

Button Function in Setting Mode

When the controller is working normally, press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds to enter the setting mode. PV displays the code TS1 and SV displays the corresponding setting value. Press the SET button to scroll down the menu and save the parameters of the previous menu item, or press the or button to change the current setting value. If there is no button operation within 30 seconds or long press the SET button for 2 seconds in the setting state, it will exit and save the setting state, then return to the normal working mode.

Changing Settings

Control Function Description

When the controller is working normally, the controller will automatically select the smaller temperature value Of the two settings TS1 and TS2 to start the heating, and will stop heating when the temperature reach the larger one (the minimum absolute value of TS1 and TS2 is 0.3C or 0.5F), PV displays the current temperature measurement value, and the SV displays the temperature at which heating stops.

High/Low Temperature Alarm (AH,AL)

When measured temperature the setting value of high temperature AH, it will alarm and turnoff heating output. The screen will rotate to display "AH" and current temperature, buzzer will "bi-bi-Biii", until the temperature < AH, buzzer will be off and return to normal display and control. Or press any button to only turn the buzzer alarm off.

When measured temperature the setting value of low temperature AL it will alarm. The screen will rotate to display"AL"and current temperature, buzzer will "bi-bi-Biii", until the temperature > AL buzzer will be off and return to normal display and control. Or press any button to only turn the buzzer alarm off. High and low temperature alarm will be pushed to mobile APP and remind the customer that the product is in alarm state.

Continuous Heating Time Alarm (CT)

When measured temperature the starting heating temperature, the output control is turned on. If the continuous heating time arrives, but the measured temperature has not risen to the stop heating temperature, at this time the heater is abnormal or the probe is abnormal, and the output is forcibly turned Off. PV will show E5, the buzzer keeps ringing, and the alarm status is pushed to the mobile APP to remind the customer that the product is in an alarm state and need to check in time.

When CT = 0,it means that the continuous heating alarm function has been cancelled.

Temperature Correction (CA)

When the measured temperature deviates from the standard temperature, the temperature calibration function can be used to calibrate the measured value consistent with the standard value. The calibrated temperature = the measured temperature value + the calibration value.

Fahrenheit or Celsius Setting (CF)

Support setting Fahrenheit or Celsius. The default temperature unit is Fahrenheit. If you need to display the unit in Celsius, please set the CF to C and note that when the CF is changed, all setting values will be restored to the default setting and the buzzer will beep once.

Abnormal Situation

Abnormal Temperature

The temperature difference between the two temperature probes is greater than or equal to 3C/5F

Probe Abnormal

Either the probe is not plugged in properly, or there is a short circuit inside Or inside the probe.

Note:
When the product is abnormal, the PV will show as follows:
Er. Both probes have problems at the same time
El or E2: Temperature Probe Abnormal
E4: The temperature difference between the two temperature probes is greater than or equal to 3C/5.0F
E5: Continuous Heating Time Alarm
