3. Configuración
3.1 Conexión inicial
- Insert the external temperature sensor probe into the designated port on the side of the controller.
- Plug the temperature controller into a standard AC230V 50HZ power outlet.
- Connect your heating or cooling device (e.g., heater, fan) to the power outlet on the front of the controller.
Note: Some users have reported that the 3-pin plug may not fit all Japanese 2-pin outlets. An adapter may be required. The product is rated for 230V, but some reviews suggest it supports a wider range (100-250V). Please verify compatibility with your local power supply before use.
3.2 Temperature Unit Selection (Celsius/Fahrenheit)
The device supports switching between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). Refer to the operating instructions for specific button combinations to change the unit.
3.3 Calibración de temperatura
To ensure accurate temperature readings, you can calibrate the sensor:
- Manteña premido o MODO button for 4 seconds to enter calibration mode.
- Usa o UP/CLK e ABAIXO buttons to adjust the temperature value.
- Manteña premido o MODO button for 4 seconds again to exit calibration mode and save the setting.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento
The controller offers four distinct operating modes: TC Mode, TC+Timer Mode, Timer Mode, and Alarm Mode. Press the MODO botón para percorrer estes modos.
Imaxe 4.1: Acabadoview of the four operating modes: TC Mode, TC+Timer Mode, Timer Mode, and Alarm Mode.
4.1 TC Mode (Temperature Control)
This mode controls the temperature based on a set start and stop temperature. It displays the current measured temperature, the temperature to start adjustment, and the temperature to stop adjustment.
Image 4.2: Display and setting method for TC Mode, showing current, start, and stop temperatures.
Método de configuración:
- Preme SET: The value to be adjusted will flash.
- Use UP/CLK e ABAIXO: Increase or decrease the value.
- Preme MODO: Setting complete.
4.2 TC + Timer Mode (Temperature Control with Timer)
This mode combines temperature control with a timer function, allowing for temperature adjustments across three distinct time periods within a day. The display shows current temperature/time in sequence, the temperature to start adjustment, and the temperature to stop adjustment.
Image 4.3: Display and setting method for TC+Timer Mode, supporting three time-based temperature controls.
Método de configuración:
- Preme SET: Cycles through setting items (TC1 Time, TC1 Temperature; TC2 Time, TC2 Temperature; TC3 Time, TC3 Temperature).
- Use UP/CLK e ABAIXO: Increase or decrease the values.
- Preme MODO: Confirms the current setting and automatically moves to the next setting.
This mode divides the day into three periods. The start time of TC2 is the end time of TC1. The start time of TC3 is the end time of TC2. The start time of TC1 is the end time of TC3. (If no time is set for TC3, the start time of TC1 becomes the end time of TC2).
4.3 Modo temporizador
This mode functions as a standalone timer, allowing you to set specific ON and OFF times for connected devices. It displays the current time, the start time for timing, and the stop time for timing.
Image 4.4: Display and setting method for Timer Mode, showing current time, ON time, and OFF time.
Método de configuración:
- Preme SET: The value to be adjusted will flash.
- Use UP/CLK e ABAIXO: Increase or decrease the value.
- Preme MODO: Setting complete.
Alarm Mute Function:
If an alarm sounds, press the UP/CLK button to silence the buzzer for 15 minutes.
Current Time Calibration:
Manteña premido o UP/CLK button for 3 seconds to calibrate the current time.
4.4 Modo de alarma
This mode allows you to set high and low-temperature alarm thresholds. If the measured temperature exceeds these thresholds, an alarm will activate. The display shows the current temperature, the high-temperature alarm setting, and the low-temperature alarm setting. Initial values are 0°C and 40°C.
Image 4.5: Display and setting method for Alarm Mode, showing current temperature, high alarm, and low alarm settings.
Método de configuración:
- Preme SET: The value to be adjusted will flash.
- Use UP/CLK e ABAIXO: Increase or decrease the value.
- Preme MODO: Setting complete.
Alarm Mute Function:
If an alarm sounds, press the UP/CLK button to silence the buzzer for 15 minutes.
