2. Configurazione e installazione

Before installation, ensure the power supply is disconnected. This device requires careful wiring according to the chosen voltage (12V, 24V, or 110-220VAC).

2.1 Collegamenti di cablaggio

The controller has terminals for power input (VCC, GND) and relay output for the load. Refer to the product's back label for correct wiring based on your power supply.

2.1.1 12V/24V DC Connection Method

For 12V or 24V DC power supplies, connect the positive terminal of your system power to the VCC terminal on the controller. Connect the negative terminal of your system power to the GND terminal. The load (heating or cooling device) should be connected to the relay output terminals, ensuring proper polarity if applicable to your load. Always consult the wiring diagram printed on the back of the device or in the full manufacturer's manual for precise connections.

2.1.2 110V/220V AC Connection Method

For 110V or 220V AC power supplies, connect the live wire (Firewire) and neutral wire (Null line) to the appropriate input terminals as indicated on the device or in the diagram below. The load is connected in series with the relay output. Exercise extreme caution when working with AC voltages.

2.2 Installazione del sensore

Connect the NTC10K waterproof sensor probe to the designated sensor input on the controller. Place the sensor in the environment where temperature measurement and control are required. Ensure the sensor cable is not damaged or exposed to excessive strain.

3. Istruzioni per l'uso

The controller features a digital display and several buttons for easy operation.

3.1 Elementi di visualizzazione

• PV (valore di processo): Displays the actual measured temperature.
• SV (valore impostato): Displays the target temperature or setpoint.
• Indicatore OUT: Illuminates when the relay output is active (heating or cooling is engaged).

3.2 pulsanti di controllo

• Pulsante IMPOSTA: Used to enter the setting mode for parameters.
• Pulsante Su (▲): Aumenta i valori o naviga tra le opzioni del menu.
• Pulsante Giù (▼): Diminuisce i valori o consente di navigare tra le opzioni del menu.
• Pulsante di riavvio: Resets the controller or confirms settings (functionality may vary, refer to specific model documentation if available).

3.3 Impostazione della temperatura

1. Premere il tasto IMPOSTATO una volta il pulsante. Il display SV inizierà a lampeggiare.
2. Utilizzare il Su (▲) E Giù (▼) pulsanti per regolare la temperatura desiderata.
3. Premere il tasto IMPOSTATO button again to confirm the setting and exit the setting mode. The SV display will stop flashing.

3.4 Passaggio dalla modalità di riscaldamento a quella di raffreddamento

The controller automatically determines whether to operate in heating or cooling mode based on the set temperature and the actual temperature, along with internal hysteresis settings. For advanced parameter settings (e.g., hysteresis, calibration), consult the full manufacturer's manual if available. Typically, a long press of the SET button might access advanced settings.

4. Manutenzione

To ensure the longevity and accurate performance of your Irfora Mini Temperature Controller 3230, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Pulizia: Pulisci delicatamente il display e casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, which can damage the electronic components.
• Condizioni ambientali: Operate the controller within the specified environmental requirements (-10-60℃, humidity 20%-75%RH) to prevent damage. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
• Cura del sensore: Ensure the sensor probe and its cable are free from damage. Do not bend the cable sharply or expose it to corrosive substances.
• Connessioni: Controllare periodicamente tutti i collegamenti elettrici per accertarsi che siano saldi e privi di corrosione.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your temperature controller, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Nessuna alimentazione/Display spento:
  • Check the power supply connection to the VCC and GND terminals.
  • Verify that the power source (12V, 24V, or 110-220VAC) is active and providing the correct voltage.
  • Ispezionare il cavo di alimentazione per eventuali danni.
• Lettura errata della temperatura:
  • Ensure the NTC10K sensor probe is correctly connected to the controller.
  • Check the sensor cable for any cuts, pinches, or damage.
  • Verify the sensor is properly placed in the environment to be measured.
  • If the reading is consistently off, the sensor might need calibration (refer to advanced settings if available) or replacement.
• Load Not Activating (Heating/Cooling Not Working):
  • Check if the "OUT" indicator light is on when the load should be active.
  • Verify the wiring connections to the load and the relay output terminals.
  • Ensure the set temperature (SV) and actual temperature (PV) are configured correctly for the desired heating or cooling action.
  • Test the load device independently to confirm it is functional.
• Display Flashing/Error Codes:
  • If the display shows unusual characters or flashes, it might indicate a sensor error or a system fault. Disconnect power, wait a few seconds, and reconnect.
  • Consult the manufacturer's specific error code documentation if available.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact the seller or manufacturer for further assistance.
