8. Light: Press button, the light is connected. Press the button again, the light is disconnected.
9. When first time power on, press button for once to cancel compressor delay and start the compressor.
10. Defog control: Press button for once, to connect or disconnect the defog heater. When power on, the
defog will start automatically, when power off, it is disconnected.
11. Check the condenser cleaning accumulated time: Long press for 6 seconds, flash display the accumulated
power on operation days.
12. Condenser alarm control: long press and for 6 seconds can turn on or turn off the alarm function, flash
display OFF or ON. The factory default in ON.
13. Parameter setup
Press button and hold for 6 seconds to enter the parameter setup mode while E1 flashes.
Press again button to select the parameters.
Press or button, the value of parameter will be displayed and can be modified and stored.
If no more button is pressed within 6 seconds, it will return to normal operation.

Function details
1. Temperature Control
After turning on for the delay time , the compressor starts operating when cold-room temperature≥ (set
temperature+ Hysteresis E3), and will be off when cold-room temperature ≤ set temperature.
To protect the compressor, it can not be re-started unless the time when the compressor stops every time is
longer than the delay time(Parameter E4).
2. Defrost by turning off compressor
After a defrost interval will automatically enter the defrost state. The defrost LED is on, the compressor stops.
When defrost duration ends, will exit defrost state. When cold room temperature is more than (set temp. + temp.
Hysteresis E3), the compressor starts.
When the defrost interval time is set to " 00 " , the function of automatic defrost will be cancelled.
3. Display during defrost
When setting the parameter F4=1, the room temp. is locked during defrost, and the last value before defrost
is displayed. When defrost en ds, normal display will be resumed after 20 minutes delay or ( when the cold-room
temperature is lower than the set temperature). When F4=2, dEF will be d isplayed.
4. Fan work mode
The fan will work according to H1; when synchronized with comp., Delay H2 time and then start or stop.
5. Compressor force stop work mode: when first time power on or after stand by and start, it will start this work mode
only when compressor reach the set temperature and stop or pass one defrost by turning off compressor. When the
compressor continuously work time ≥ P2, the compressor will stop for P3 and then re countdown.
6. High, low temperature over limit alarm
High temperature alarm: After the first time turning off, when cold room temperature is higher than high temperature
alarm value C1, and duration more than alarm delay time (C3), will alternate display HI and the cold room temperature.
When the cold room temperature is lower than high temperature alarm C1, will exit alarm, and the cold room
temperature will resumed to be displayed.
Low temperature alarm: When cold room temperature is lower than low temperature alarm value C2, and duration
more than alarm delay time (C3), will alternate display L0 and cold room temperature. When cold room temperature
is more than low temperature alarm value C2, will exit alarm and resume cold room temperature display.
When alarm, the buzzer sound, press random button to cancel the sound.
7 . Condenser cleaning alarm: When the accumulated power on time is more than P1, the buzzer will sound, alternate
display cold room temperature and Cln. At this time, press random button to cancel the sound, after 2 minutes it
will exit the alarm, the accumulated time will be cleared and will recount, it will resume normal display. During
alarm state power off or shut down, when next time power on will keep alarming.
Alarm test: When turning on the condenser cleaning alarm function, when power on within 10 seconds, long press
and for 6 seconds, flash display tes, the previous accumulated time will be cleared. After 5 minutes, will
start the alarm.
8. Abnormal work mode
When the room sensor is short-circuited or overheated (more than 99℃/210℉) "HH " will be displayed ;When the
room sensor is open-circuited or temperature is too low ( less than －45℃/-49℉) " LL " will be displayed. At that
time the compressor works automatically by the cycle of 30 minutes on and 15 minutes off.

Notes for Installation
1. The sens or cable leads must be kept separately from main voltage wires in order to avoid high frequency
noise induced. Separate the power supply of the loads from the power supply of the c ontroller.
2. When inst all the sensor, it shall be placed with the head upward and the wire downward.
3. In case of l ong-distance sensor installation from the controller, the s ensor cable may be prolonged up to
100 m max. without any re-calibration.
4. The temperature controller can not be installed in the area with water drops.
5. The temperature controller can not be installed in the corrosive and strong electromagnetic pulse interference
places.
Accessories for the temperature controller
1. One temperature sensor 2. One connecting wire
