5. Konfigurazioa

1. Tenperatura-zunda konektatu: Insert the metal tip of the temperature probe into the designated port on the side of the controller. Ensure it is securely connected.
2. Power On the Controller: Plug the controller's power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The display will illuminate, showing the current temperature (PV) and the set temperature (SV).
3. Konektatu etxetresna elektrikoak: Plug your heating device into one of the outlets (OUT 1 or OUT 2) and your cooling device (if applicable) into the other. The controller can manage both simultaneously.

6. Funtzionamendu-argibideak

6.1 Pantaila ulertzea

The controller features a dual display:

• PV (Prozesu Balioa): Displays the current measured temperature from the probe.
• SV (Ezarritako Balioa): Displays the target temperature or the ON/OFF temperature settings.

6.2 Setting Temperature (Heating Mode)

In heating mode, the device turns ON when the temperature drops below the ON-Temperature and turns OFF when it reaches the OFF-Temperature. For heating, the ON-Temperature must be set BEHERA than the OFF-Temperature.

1. Sakatu EZARTU button once. The ON-Temperature (e.g., '1oN' for Outlet 1) will flash.
2. Erabili UP or BEHERA arrows to adjust the desired ON-Temperature.
3. Sakatu EZARTU again. The OFF-Temperature (e.g., '1oF' for Outlet 1) will flash.
4. Erabili UP or BEHERA arrows to adjust the desired OFF-Temperature.
5. Sakatu GORDE button to confirm and save your settings.

Example: For heating, if you set ON-Temp to 70°F and OFF-Temp to 75°F, the heater will turn on at 70°F and turn off at 75°F.

6.3 Setting Temperature (Cooling Mode)

In cooling mode, the device turns ON when the temperature rises above the ON-Temperature and turns OFF when it reaches the OFF-Temperature. For cooling, the ON-Temperature must be set GOIAGOA than the OFF-Temperature.

1. Follow steps 1-4 from the Heating Mode instructions to adjust ON-Temperature and OFF-Temperature.
2. Ensure the ON-Temperature is set GOIAGOA than the OFF-Temperature for cooling operation.
3. Sakatu GORDE button to confirm and save your settings.

Example: For cooling, if you set ON-Temp to 80°F and OFF-Temp to 75°F, the cooler will turn on at 80°F and turn off at 75°F.

6.4 Tenperatura Unitatearen Hautaketa (°C/°F)

Celsius eta Fahrenheit artean aldatzeko, sakatu eta eutsi botoiari UP arrow button for approximately 3 seconds. The display will change units accordingly.

6.5 Tenperatura-kalibrazioa

The Pymeter controller is factory-calibrated for accuracy. If you suspect an inaccurate reading, you can perform a calibration using an ice-water mixture. An ice-water mixture (melting ice) should read 32°F (0°C).

1. Place the temperature probe into a mixture of ice and water, ensuring the ice is melting.
2. Allow a few minutes for the probe to stabilize. The reading should be 32°F or 0°C.
3. If the reading is off, consult the full manual for specific calibration steps, which typically involve an offset adjustment in the settings menu.

6.6 Power-On Delay Function

This function prevents rapid cycling of compressors (e.g., in chillers) by introducing a delay before restarting after a power interruption or temperature change. This protects the equipment and extends its lifespan. The delay time can usually be adjusted in the advanced settings.

6.7 Alarma ezarpenak

The controller can be configured to sound an alarm if the temperature exceeds or falls below a set range, or if the sensor malfunctions. Refer to the detailed manual for specific steps to set high/low temperature alarm thresholds and enable/disable the sensor fault alarm.

7. Mantentzea

• Garbiketa: Wipe the controller's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
• Zunda zaintzea: Mantendu tenperatura-sonda garbi eta hondakinik gabe. Saihestu zunda-kablea tolestea edo kaltetzea.
• Biltegiratzea: Gorde gailua leku fresko eta lehor batean erabiltzen ez duzunean, eguzki-argitik eta muturreko tenperaturetatik urrun.
• Konexioaren egiaztapena: Periodically inspect all electrical connections for wear or damage.
