4. Configurazione e cablaggio
Importante: Garantire l'alimentazione voltage matches the label on the product. Incorrect voltage can damage the module. Always disconnect power before wiring.
4.1 Schema elettrico
The W3230 controller has terminals for power input (+VCC, -GND), sensor input (S1, S2), and relay output (LOAD). Connect the power supply to +VCC and -GND. Connect the NTC sensor to S1 and S2. The load (heating or cooling device) should be connected to the relay output terminals, ensuring it is within the relay's specified current and voltage capacità.

Figure 5: Wiring diagram for the W3230 Digital Temperature Controller. Connect +VCC and -GND for power, S1 and S2 for the sensor, and the LOAD to the relay output.
5. Funzionamento
5.1 Indicatori sul display
- Indicatore di uscita (OUT):
- Lampeggiante: Indicates cooling or heating start-up delay is active.
- Luce costante: Indicates the relay is closed (output is active).
- Nessuna luce: Indicates the relay is disconnected (output is inactive).
- PV Digital Tube (Red Display): Shows the actual measured temperature.
- SV Digital Tube (Blue Display): Shows the set temperature value (relay on/off threshold).
5.2 Impostazione della temperatura
Per impostare la temperatura desiderata:
- Press the "SET" button once. The SV digital tube (blue display) will flash.
- Use the "Up" (▲) and "Down" (▼) arrow buttons to adjust the temperature value.
- Press "SET" again to confirm the setting, or wait 8 seconds for automatic confirmation and return to normal display.
5.3 Main Menu Settings (P0-P8)
To access and configure advanced parameters:
- Long press the "SET" button for 3 seconds to enter the main menu. The display will show "P0".
- Press "SET" repeatedly to cycle through modes P0 to P8.
- When the desired mode (e.g., P0) is displayed, use the "Up" (▲) and "Down" (▼) arrow buttons to adjust its value.
- Long press "SET" for 3 seconds, or wait 8 seconds without any key action, to automatically confirm the setting and exit the menu.
5.4 Interruttore di alimentazione
- Turn Off Display/Relay: Long press the "Restart" button for 1.5 seconds.
- Turn On Display/Relay: Press the "Restart" button again for 1.5 seconds.
6. Parameter Settings (Code Table)
The following table details the various programmable parameters (P0-P8) and their functions.
| Codice | Funzione | Imposta intervallo | Predefinito |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0 | Modalità Caldo/Freddo | H / C | C (raffreddamento) |
| P1 | Differenza di ritorno (isteresi) | 0.1-15°C | 2°C |
| P2 | Imposta limite superiore | 120°C | 120°C |
| P3 | Imposta limite inferiore | -50°C | -50°C |
| P4 | Correzione della temperatura | -7.0 a 7.0°C | 0°C |

7. Troubleshooting (Warning Codes)
The display may show specific codes to indicate abnormal conditions. Refer to the table below for explanations and solutions.
| Codice | Motivo dell'errore | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| HHH | Temperature exceeds alarm temperature or maximum measuring range. | The temperature drops below the alarm temperature and returns to normal. If it exceeds the maximum measuring range, the relay is forced to disconnect. |
| LLL | No temperature sensor detected or sensor open circuit. | Replace or reconnect the temperature sensor. |
| ---- | Setting of high-temperature alarm exceeds the maximum value. | Adjust the P6 (High Temperature Alarm) setting to a valid range. |
