6.1 Basic Temperature Control (Heating/Cooling Modes)

Nọmba 6.1: The controller's ability to manage both heating and cooling, with its wide temperature range.

1. Agbara Tan: Ensure the controller is plugged in and the LCD is active.
2. Set Start Temperature:
   • Tẹ awọn SET button once. The 'Start Temperature' value will begin to flash.
   • Lo awọn UP or SILE buttons to adjust the desired start temperature.
   • Tẹ SET again to confirm and move to the Stop Temperature setting.
3. Set Stop Temperature:
   • The 'Stop Temperature' value will flash.
   • Lo awọn UP or SILE buttons to adjust the desired stop temperature.
   • Tẹ SET again to confirm and exit the temperature setting mode.
4. Select Mode (Heating/Cooling):
   • The controller automatically determines heating or cooling mode based on your Start and Stop temperature settings.
   • If Start Temp < Stop Temp: The controller operates in Alapapo Ipo. The connected device will turn ON when the measured temperature drops below the Start Temp and turn OFF when it reaches the Stop Temp.
   • If Start Temp > Stop Temp: The controller operates in Ipo itutu. The connected device will turn ON when the measured temperature rises above the Start Temp and turn OFF when it reaches the Stop Temp.

6.2 Flexible Timing Modes

The INKBIRDPLUS controller offers four advanced timing modes for precise control over your connected devices. These modes are accessed by pressing the Ipo Yipada bọtini (ile icon).

Nọmba 6.2: Visual guide to the four timing modes: CD TC ON, CD TC OFF, CD ON Timer, and CD OFF Timer.

1. CD TC ON Mode (Countdown Temperature Control ON):
   • In this mode, the device will operate according to the set temperature control (TC) mode (heating or cooling) lẹhin a specified countdown timer ends.
   • Lo Ọran: You want a device to start maintaining a specific temperature only after a certain delay (e.g., start heating a terrarium 30 minutes after lights turn on).
   • Lati ṣeto: Tẹ Ipo Yipada until "CD TC ON" appears. Press SET, lẹhinna lo Soke/isalẹ to set the countdown time (Hours:Minutes). Press SET lati jẹrisi.
   

   Nọmba 6.3: Setting the countdown time for CD TC ON mode.

2. CD TC OFF Mode (Countdown Temperature Control OFF):
   • In this mode, the device will operate according to the set temperature control (TC) mode (heating or cooling) titi a specified countdown timer ends. Once the countdown finishes, the temperature control function will stop.
   • Lo Ọran: You want to maintain a specific temperature for a set duration, then turn off the control (e.g., maintain incubation temperature for 24 hours, then stop).
   • Lati ṣeto: Tẹ Ipo Yipada until "CD TC OFF" appears. Press SET, lẹhinna lo Soke/isalẹ to set the countdown time (Hours:Minutes). Press SET lati jẹrisi.
