This is a panel-mountable temperature controller which features two bright, 3-digit 7-segment displays: a larger red display that shows the current temperature, and a smaller blue display that shows the setpoint (trigger temperature).
Also on the front panel are buttons to adjust various parameters, including operating mode, setpoint, hysteresis, and temperature limits. For more details, refer to the functional description.
The module is also supplied with a remote NTC temperature sensor which can be mounted up to 1m away from the module for remote sensing.
Operation wise the module can operate in one of two modes: heating and cooling.
- In heating mode, the controller can activate a heater when the temperature drops below a specified threshold.
- In cooling mode, it can activate a cooling device when the temperature exceeds a specified threshold.
