OPERATING FUNCTIONS

After switching on the mains power supply, the display briefly shows all display segments and then switches to the currently measured temperature (e.g. 21.5 °C).

Displaying limit values

• Press key "▲" briefly: The upper limit value is displayed
• Press key "▼" briefly: The lower limit value is displayed
  → After about 2 seconds, the display switches back to the current temperature again.

Opening the setup menu

A three-digit password has to be entered to prevent alteration of the settings by unauthorised persons. The password "111" is pre-set by the manufacturer upon delivery.

To open the setup menu, proceed as follows:

• Keep the "SET" button pressed for 3 seconds; 3 dashes appear on the display, the left one of which fl ashes.
• Set the first digit of the password with the buttons "▲" and "▼".
• Confirm with the "❄" button; the second dash starts flashing.
• Set the second digit of the password with the buttons "▲" and "▼".
• Confirm with the "❄" button; the third dash starts flashing.
• Set the third digit of the password with the buttons “▲” and “▼”.
• Confirm your input with the button ✿".
• If the password ("111" in the factory setting) was entered correctly, the display shows "F01" and you can select the desired function with the buttons "▲" and "▼".

If an incorrect password was entered, three dashes appear again and the password has to be re-entered.

→ If the password is entered three times incorrectly, or if for about 30 seconds no button is pressed, the display switches back to the actual temperature.

Selecting functions in the setup menu

• Select the functions "F01"... "F08" and "P01"... "P03" with the buttons "▲" and "▼".
  → The functions F05, F06, F07 and F08 are not available for "ETC-100+".

Code Function Setup range Factory setting
F01 Upper temperature limit -39....+120 °C -15 °C
F02 Lower temperature limit -40....+119 °C -18 °C
F03 Temperature calibration -5....+5 °C	0 °C
F04 Switch-on delay	0....30 min	3 min
F05 Defrost cycle	0....99 h	6 h
F06 Defrosting duration	0....99 min	30 min
F07 Temperature alarm limit 0....20 °C	20 °C
F08 0 = cooling mode, 1 = heating mode	0, 1	0
P01 First digit of password	0....9	1
P02 Second digit of password	0....9	1
P03 Third digit of password	0....9	1

Displaying and changing the setting value

• With the button ❄* the current setting value of the respective function is shown.
• When the setting value appears on the display, it can be adjusted with the buttons “▲” and “▼”. For a quick adjustment, press and hold the corresponding button for a longer period of time.
• Press the "SET" button briefly; the setting value flashes for 2 seconds and the display returns to the function selection.

→ The new value is not saved yet, but only added to the temporary memory.

Saving all setting values

Keep the "SET" button pressed for 3 seconds; all setting values are thus added and saved. The setup menu closes automatically and the current temperature appears again in the display.

Not saving setting values

If you do not press any button within 30 seconds, the thermostat returns to the current temperature. Possible adjustments are not saved; the previous setting values remain activated.

→ For this reason, do not allow too much time in the changing of setting values; otherwise the setting mode will close without saving!

COOLING MODE

The cooling process is started if the measured temperature is above the upper temperature limit (adjustable with function "F01").

The cooling process is stopped if the measured temperature drops below the lower temperature limit (adjustable with function "F02").

HEATING MODE ("ETC-200+")

→ This function is available only for "ETC-200".

In the heating mode, the heating process is started if the measured temperature drops below the lower temperature limit (adjustable with the function "F02").

The heating process is stopped if the measured temperature is above the upper temperature limit (adjustable with function "F01").

SWITCH-ON DELAY

→ This function is active only during the cooling mode.

When the power supply is switched on, the thermostat measures the current temperature.

If this temperature is above the upper temperature limit (function "F01"), the cooling process is not yet started; instead, the thermostat waits for the time of the switch-on delay (function "F04"; the value can be set to 0-30 minutes; the factory setting is 3 minutes).

This protects the compressor from starting too often in case of an error (e.g. disturbances in the power supply).

DEFROST FUNCTION ("ETC-200+")

→ This function is available only for "ETC-200+"; furthermore, the cooling mode must be activated (function "F08" must be set to "0").

The automatic defrosting process is started according to the settings of the defrost cycle (function "F05"); the duration is determined in function "F06".

The defrost function is deactivated if either defrost cycle (function "F05") or defrosting duration (function "F06") are set to "0".

Start a manual defrost process by pressing and holding the button "or at least 3 seconds until the defrost LED " flashes. Stop the manual defrosting procedure in the same manner (press the button "approx. 3 seconds until the defrost LED goes out).

ALARM FUNCTIONS

- Input error

If "Er" flashes on the display, an error was determined during saving. This can occur during the initial startup or during the saving of setting values. Press any key.

- Sensor alarm

If "E01" flashes on the display and an alarm sounds simultaneously, the thermostat detected an error in the sensor (e.g. faulty connection or no cable connected, cable too long)

• Temperature range alarm

If the measured temperature exceeds the permissible temperature range (-40....+120 °C), "E02" fl ashes in the display and an alarm sounds.

- Alarm when exceeding the temperature alarm limit ("ETC-200+")

A value between 0....20 °C can be set as temperature alarm limit in function "F07" ("ETC-200+" only).

The alarm is triggered (display fl ashes and alarm sounds) if:

measured temperature > (upper temperature limit) + (temperature alarm limit)

Example: 123 °C > (80 °C) + (20 °C) → alarm is triggered

or

measured temperature < (lower temperature limit) - (temperature alarm limit)

Example: -40 °C < (-10 °C) - (20 °C) → alarm is triggered

- Deactivating the alarm sound

Press any key to turn the alarm sound off.

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The temperature can be calibrated with the function "F03" in the setup menu by setting a correction value (-5 °C.....+5 °C).

CHANGING THE PASSWORD

• Select the setup menu (see "OPERATING FUNCTIONS" and then "Opening the setup menu"). Enter the current password (factory setting: "111").
• If „F01“ appears on the display, select the function “P01” with the buttons “▲” and “▼”, and press the button “💡”.
• Set the first digit of the password with the buttons “▲” and “▼” and briefly press the “SET” button. The display flashes briefly if the value was changed.
• Select the function „P02“ with the buttons “▲” and “▼”, and press the button “✿”.
• Set the second digit of the password with the buttons "▲" and "▼" and briefly press the "SET" button. The display flashes briefly if the value was changed.
• Select the function „P03“ with the buttons “▲” and “▼”, and press the button “✿”.
• Set the third digit of the password with the buttons "▲" and "▼" and briefly press the "SET" button. The display flashes briefly if the value was changed.
• Keep the "SET" button pressed until the current temperature is displayed again (approx. 3 seconds).

The new password is now saved.

RESETTING PASSWORD TO FACTORY SETTING

If you forgot your password, you can reset it to "111". Proceed as follows:

• Separate the thermostat from the mains voltage.
• Keep both buttons "SET" and "SET" pressed at the same time, and switch on the mains voltage. "ON" will appear on the display.
• Release both buttons. The current temperature is shown in the display, the password is reset to "111".

CLEANING

Dust can be very easily removed using a soft, clean, long-bristled brush and a vacuum cleaner.

If you want to wipe the display, use a clean soft dry cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents, or there could be changes in colour. Do not press the display too firmly. This may lead to scratch marks and/or damage the display.
