6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The Inkbird ITC-100VH features a user-friendly interface for setting and monitoring temperature. The upper display (PV) shows the current process temperature, while the lower display (SV) shows the set target temperature.
Operación básica:
- Encendido: Once wired correctly, apply power to the controller. The displays will light up.
- Ajuste de temperatura (SV): Presione el COLOCAR button to enter the setting mode. Use the arrow keys (▲ / ▼) to adjust the Set Value (SV). Press COLOCAR nuevamente para confirmar y salir.
- Escucha: In normal operating mode, the PV display shows the actual temperature, and the SV display shows your target temperature.
- Indicación de salida: The 'OUT' indicator will illuminate when the control output is active. The 'AL1' and 'AL2' indicators will light up when the respective alarms are triggered.
Advanced Settings (Parameter Configuration):
The controller has various parameters for fine-tuning its operation, including sensor type, control mode (PID/ON-OFF), alarm settings, and self-tuning. Accessing and modifying these parameters typically involves pressing and holding the COLOCAR button for several seconds to enter the parameter menu. Consult the full technical manual for a complete list of parameters and their functions.
