• Touch Switch Mode: User-friendly interface for setting parameters.
• Dvojna funkcionalnost: Capable of both heating and cooling control.
• Vsestranska uporaba: Suitable for farms, greenhouses, refrigeration houses, and other temperature-sensitive environments.

3. Varnostne informacije

Za preprečitev poškodb ali škode na napravi upoštevajte naslednje varnostne ukrepe:

• Prepričajte se, da je napajalnik voltage matches the controller's specifications (110-220V AC).
• All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician to prevent electrical shock.
• Naprave ne izpostavljajte vodi ali prekomerni vlagi.
• Krmilnika ne razstavljajte ali spreminjajte.
• Hraniti izven dosega otrok.
• Pred kakršnim koli ožičenjem ali vzdrževanjem izklopite napajanje.

4. Namestitev in ožičenje

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

4.1 Shema ožičenja

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

Slika 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).

Žične povezave:

• 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 Montaža

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.

• Gumb SET: Enters parameter setting mode.
• Gumb RST: Resets the controller or exits setting mode without saving.
• Puščica navzgor (▲): Increases values or navigates menu.
• Puščica navzdol (▼): Decreases values or navigates menu.
• OK / °C/°F Button: Confirms settings or switches between Celsius and Fahrenheit display.

5.2 Nastavitev temperaturnih parametrov

1. Set Start Temperature (P1):
   • Pritisnite in držite NASTAVI button for 3 seconds to enter the parameter setting menu.
   • Uporabite Up or Dol arrows to navigate to P1.
   • Pritisnite NASTAVI again to enter P1 setting.
   • Uporaba Up or Dol to adjust the desired start temperature.
   • Pritisnite OK za potrditev in shranjevanje.
2. Set Stop Temperature (P2):
   • Follow the same steps as P1, but navigate to P2.
   • Adjust the desired stop temperature.
   • Pritisnite OK za potrditev in shranjevanje.
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 gumb.

5.3 Preklapljanje temperaturnih enot (°C/°F)

Za preklop med Celzijem (°C) in Fahrenheitom (°F) pritisnite in držite OK / °C/°F gumb za 3 sekundi.

6. Vzdrževanje

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

• Čiščenje: Obrišite zaslon in casinz mehko, suho krpo. Ne uporabljajte abrazivnih čistil ali topil.
• Skrb za senzor: Prepričajte se, da je temperaturni senzor čist in brez umazanije. Pazite, da ne upognete ali poškodujete kabla senzorja.
• Okoljski pogoji: Operate the controller within its specified temperature and humidity ranges.
• Pregled ožičenja: Občasno preverite vse ožičene povezave, da se prepričate, da so varne in brez korozije.
