  • Sicrhewch y cyflenwad pŵer cyftage matches the controller's specifications (110-220V AC).
  • All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician to prevent electrical shock.
  • Peidiwch ag amlygu'r ddyfais i ddŵr na lleithder gormodol.
  • Peidiwch â dadosod na newid y rheolydd.
  • Cadwch allan o gyrraedd plant.
  • Datgysylltwch y pŵer cyn gwneud unrhyw weirio neu waith cynnal a chadw.

4. Gosod a Gwifrau

The STC-3000 is designed for panel mounting. Ensure adequate space for ventilation and access to wiring terminals.

4.1 Diagram Gwifro

Refer to the diagram below for correct wiring connections. Incorrect wiring can damage the device or connected equipment.

STC-3000 Wiring Diagram

Ffigur 1: Wiring diagram for the STC-3000 temperature controller. Terminals 1 and 2 are for power input (110-220V AC). Terminals 3 and 4 are for the NTC temperature sensor. Terminals 5 and 6 are for the load (heating or cooling device).

Cysylltiadau Gwifro:

  • Power Input (1, 2): Connect your 110-220V AC power supply to these terminals.
  • Sensor (3, 4): Connect the NTC temperature sensor to these terminals. The sensor is non-polar, so connection order does not matter.
  • Load (5, 6): Connect your heating or cooling device (e.g., heater, fan, compressor) to these terminals. Ensure the load's power requirements do not exceed the controller's maximum current rating (10A or 30A, depending on model).

4.2 Mowntio

The controller is designed for flush panel mounting. Cut an opening of approximately 71mm x 29mm (2.8in x 1.14in) in your panel. Insert the controller and secure it using the integrated clips on the sides.

  • Botwm SET: Yn mynd i mewn i'r modd gosod paramedr.
  • Botwm RST: Resets the controller or exits setting mode without saving.
  • Saeth i Fyny (▲): Increases values or navigates menu.
  • Saeth i Lawr (▼): Decreases values or navigates menu.
  • OK / °C/°F Button: Confirms settings or switches between Celsius and Fahrenheit display.

5.2 Setting Temperature Parameters

  1. Set Start Temperature (P1):
    • Pwyswch a dal y GOSOD button for 3 seconds to enter the parameter setting menu.
    • Defnyddiwch y Up or I lawr arrows to navigate to P1.
    • Gwasgwch GOSOD again to enter P1 setting.
    • Defnydd Up or I lawr to adjust the desired start temperature.
    • Gwasgwch OK i gadarnhau ac arbed.
  2. Set Stop Temperature (P2):
    • Follow the same steps as P1, but navigate to P2.
    • Adjust the desired stop temperature.
    • Gwasgwch OK i gadarnhau ac arbed.
  3. Temperature Correction (P3):
    • Allows for calibration of the temperature sensor. Adjust if the displayed temperature differs from a known accurate thermometer.
  4. Delay Start (P4):
    • Sets a delay time (in minutes) before the output activates after reaching the set temperature. Useful for protecting compressors in refrigeration systems.

The controller will automatically save settings and return to the main display after a few seconds of inactivity or by pressing the RST botwm.

5.3 Newid Unedau Tymheredd (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press and hold the OK / °C/°F botwm am 3 eiliad.

6. cynnal

To ensure the longevity and accurate operation of your STC-3000 controller, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Glanhau: Sychwch yr arddangosfa a casing gyda lliain meddal, sych. Peidiwch â defnyddio glanhawyr sgraffiniol na thoddyddion.
  • Gofal Synhwyrydd: Ensure the temperature sensor is clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the sensor cable.
  • Amodau Amgylcheddol: Operate the controller within its specified temperature and humidity ranges.
  • Arolygiad gwifrau: Gwiriwch yr holl gysylltiadau gwifrau o bryd i'w gilydd i sicrhau eu bod yn ddiogel ac yn rhydd rhag cyrydiad.

7. Datrys Problemau

If you encounter issues with your STC-3000, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProblemAchos PosiblAteb
Mae'r arddangosfa'n wagDim cyflenwad pŵer neu weirio anghywir.Check power connections (terminals 1 & 2). Ensure voltagd yn cyfateb i fanylebau.
Darlleniad tymheredd anghywirFaulty sensor, sensor not properly connected, or need for calibration.Check sensor wiring (terminals 3 & 4). Use P3 parameter for temperature correction. Replace sensor if damaged.
Load not switching (heating/cooling)Incorrect temperature settings (P1, P2), faulty load, or incorrect load wiring.Verify P1 and P2 settings. Check load wiring (terminals 5 & 6). Test the load device independently.
