5. Guide de configuration

5.1 Connexion du contrôleur

1. Plug the main power cord of the Xetron STC-1000ProTH controller into a standard 110V AC power outlet.
2. Connect the temperature and humidity sensor probe to the designated port on the controller. Ensure it is securely inserted.
3. Identify the 'WORK1' outlet for temperature control and 'WORK2' for humidity control.
4. Plug your heating or cooling device into the 'WORK1' outlet.
5. Plug your humidifying or dehumidifying device into the 'WORK2' outlet.

6. Mode d'emploi

6.1 Comprendre l'affichage

The large LCD screen displays key information:

• TPV: Temperature Present Value (current temperature).
• HPV: Humidity Present Value (current humidity).
• TSV: Temperature Set Value (desired temperature).
• HSV: Humidity Set Value (desired humidity).

The display also shows icons for heating, cooling, humidifying, dehumidifying, and alarms.

6.2 Basic Parameter Settings

Pour accéder au mode de réglage, maintenez enfoncée la touche ENSEMBLE button for 3 seconds until the display beeps or flashes. Use the UP et VERS LE BAS buttons to navigate through parameters. Press ENSEMBLE once to select a parameter, use UP/VERS LE BAS to adjust the value, then press ENSEMBLE again to confirm. Hold ENSEMBLE attendre 3 secondes pour quitter le mode de réglage.

Example: Setting Humidity Range (e.g., 55% to 65% RH)

1. Appuyez et maintenez ENSEMBLE pendant 3 secondes pour entrer en mode de réglage.
2. Utiliser UP/VERS LE BAS to navigate to the 'HS' (Humidity Start) setting.
3. Presse ENSEMBLE once, then use UP/VERS LE BAS to set the value to '60' (for 60% RH). Press ENSEMBLE pour confirmer.
4. Navigate to the 'HD' (Humidity Differential) setting.
5. Presse ENSEMBLE once, then use UP/VERS LE BAS to set the value to '5' (for 5% RH differential). Press ENSEMBLE to confirm. This means the humidity will turn on at 55% (60-5) and turn off at 60%.
6. Prise ENSEMBLE attendre 3 secondes pour quitter le mode de réglage.

6.3 Paramètres d'alarme

The controller features dual alarms for both temperature and humidity. You can set high and low alarm limits. If the measured value goes outside these limits, the controller will sound a buzzer and display a bell icon.

6.4 Protection contre le retard du compresseur

This feature prevents rapid cycling of connected compressors (e.g., in refrigerators or dehumidifiers), which can extend their lifespan. You can set a delay time in the parameter settings.

6.5 Options d'affichage à l'écran

The controller allows you to set the screen display to always remain ON. Refer to the manual's parameter list for the specific setting (e.g., 'BL' to 'O').

8. Entretien

• Nettoyage: Wipe the controller and sensor probe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in liquids.
• Entretien du capteur : Handle the sensor probe carefully. Avoid bending or damaging the cable. Ensure the sensor is free from dust or debris for accurate readings.
• Stockage: Lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, rangez la manette dans un endroit frais et sec, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil.

9. Dépannage

• Manette ne s'allume pas : Check if the main power plug is securely inserted into a live outlet.
• Connected Device Not Activating:
  • Verify that the device is correctly plugged into the 'WORK1' (temperature) or 'WORK2' (humidity) outlet.
  • Ensure the device itself is functional by plugging it directly into a wall outlet.
  • Check your set parameters (TSV, HSV, differentials) to ensure the current conditions should trigger the device.
  • Review alarm settings; if an alarm is active, it might prevent normal operation.
  • Consider the compressor delay protection setting if applicable.
• Lectures inexactes :
  • Ensure the sensor probe is clean and unobstructed.
  • Verify the sensor is properly connected to the controller.
  • Perform a temperature and humidity calibration if you have a reference instrument.
• Alarme qui se déclenche constamment : Adjust the high and low alarm limits to suit your desired operating range.
