5. Operating Instructions

The controller features a large LCD display and three buttons: SET, CLOCK, è Frecce SU/GIÙ.

5.1 Impostazione di l'ora attuale

1. Appughjà è tene premutu CLOCK per 3 secondi finu à chì a cifra di l'ora lampeggi.
2. Aduprà u Frecce SU/GIÙ per aghjustà l'ora.
3. Press CLOCK again to move to the minute digit, then adjust with Frecce SU/GIÙ.
4. Press CLOCK per cunfirmà è esce.

5.2 Temperature Control (Outlets 1 & 2)

Outlets 1 and 2 are independently controlled for temperature. Each can be set for heating or cooling mode with specific ON/OFF temperatures and operating times.

1. Appughjà è tene premutu SET button for 3 seconds to enter programming mode. The display will show 'OUT1' or 'OUT2' and the first setting will flash.
2. Aduprà u Frecce SU/GIÙ to select 'OUT1' or 'OUT2'. Press SET per cunfirmà.
3. Set ON Time: The 'ON' time will flash. Use Frecce SU/GIÙ per stabilisce l'ora, poi appughjà SET to set minutes. This is the time when temperature control for this outlet begins.
4. Set OFF Time: The 'OFF' time will flash. Use Frecce SU/GIÙ per stabilisce l'ora, poi appughjà SET to set minutes. This is the time when temperature control for this outlet ends.
5. Set ON Temperature: The 'ON Temp' will flash. Use Frecce SU/GIÙ to set the temperature at which the connected device turns ON.
6. Set OFF Temperature: The 'OFF Temp' will flash. Use Frecce SU/GIÙ to set the temperature at which the connected device turns OFF.
7. Determine Mode (Heating/Cooling):
   • If ON Temp < OFF Temp: The controller operates in Modu di riscaldamentu. The device turns on when the temperature drops to ON Temp and turns off when it reaches OFF Temp.
   • If ON Temp > OFF Temp: The controller operates in Modu di raffreddamentu. The device turns on when the temperature rises to ON Temp and turns off when it reaches OFF Temp.
8. Press SET to cycle through additional settings (High Alarm, Low Alarm, Calibration) or press CLOCK per salvà è esce.
