• Alta precisión: 0.1°C temperature control accuracy.
• Touch Switch Mode: User-friendly interface for setting parameters.
• Función dual: Capable of both heating and cooling control.
• Aplicación versátil: Suitable for farms, greenhouses, refrigeration houses, and other temperature-sensitive environments.

3. Información de seguridade

Observe as seguintes precaucións de seguridade para evitar lesións ou danos no dispositivo:

• Asegúrese de que a fonte de alimentación voltage matches the controller's specifications (110-220V AC).
• All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician to prevent electrical shock.
• Non expoñas o dispositivo á auga nin a humidade excesiva.
• Non desmonte nin modifique o controlador.
• Manter fóra do alcance dos nenos.
• Desconecte a alimentación antes de realizar calquera cableado ou mantemento.

4. Instalación e cableado

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

4.1 Diagrama de cableado

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

Figura 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).

Conexións de cableado:

• 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 Montaxe

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.

• Botón SET: Enters parameter setting mode.
• Botón RST: Resets the controller or exits setting mode without saving.
• Frecha cara arriba (▲): Increases values or navigates menu.
• Frecha cara abaixo (▼): 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):
   • Manteña premido o SET button for 3 seconds to enter the parameter setting menu.
   • Usa o Up or Abaixo arrows to navigate to P1.
   • Preme SET again to enter P1 setting.
   • Use Up or Abaixo to adjust the desired start temperature.
   • Preme OK para confirmar e gardar.
2. Set Stop Temperature (P2):
   • Follow the same steps as P1, but navigate to P2.
   • Adjust the desired stop temperature.
   • Preme OK para confirmar e gardar.
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 botón.

5.3 Unidades de temperatura de conmutación (°C/°F)

To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press and hold the OK / °C/°F botón durante 3 segundos.

6. Mantemento

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

• Limpeza: Limpar a pantalla e casinLimpe cun pano suave e seco. Non empregue produtos de limpeza abrasivos nin disolventes.
• Coidados do sensor: Ensure the temperature sensor is clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the sensor cable.
• Condicións ambientais: Operate the controller within its specified temperature and humidity ranges.
• Inspección de cableado: Comprobe periodicamente todas as conexións do cableado para asegurarse de que estean seguras e libres de corrosión.
