6. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The TC-321 allows you to set a target temperature and define temperature differentials for both heating and cooling modes. This ensures your environment stays within a desired range.
Setting Target Temperature and Differentials:
Image: Step-by-step visual guide on how to set the target temperature, cooling differential, and heating differential on the NICREW TC-321 display.
- Issettja t-Temperatura Mira:
- Agħfas u żomm il- SET button for 3 seconds. The display will show the current target temperature setting.
- Uża l- ▲ ('il fuq) jew ▼ (down) buttons to adjust the target temperature to your desired value (e.g., 76°F).
- Agħfas SET għal darb'oħra biex tikkonferma u tgħaddi għas-setting li jmiss.
- Set Cooling Differential (COOL DIFF):
- After setting the target temperature, the display will show 'COOL DIFF'.
- Uża l- ▲ or ▼ buttons to set the cooling differential (e.g., 4°F). This means the cooling device will activate when the temperature reaches Target Temp + Cool Diff (e.g., 76°F + 4°F = 80°F) and shut off when it returns to the Target Temp (76°F).
- Agħfas SET mill-ġdid biex tikkonferma.
- Set Heating Differential (HEAT DIFF):
- The display will now show 'HEAT DIFF'.
- Uża l- ▲ or ▼ buttons to set the heating differential (e.g., 1°F). This means the heating device will activate when the temperature drops to Target Temp - Heat Diff (e.g., 76°F - 1°F = 75°F) and shut off when it returns to the Target Temp (76°F).
- Agħfas SET one last time to save all settings and exit the programming mode.
The controller will now operate automatically to maintain the temperature within your set range.
Allarm tat-Temperatura:
The device includes a temperature alarm feature that activates if the temperature deviates significantly from your desired range, providing an alert for potential issues.
