5. התקנה
- Connect the Temperature Probe: Insert the metal tip of the temperature probe into the designated port on the side of the controller. Ensure it is securely connected.
- Power On the Controller: Plug the controller's power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. The display will illuminate, showing the current temperature (PV) and the set temperature (SV).
- חבר מכשירי חשמל: Plug your heating device into one of the outlets (OUT 1 or OUT 2) and your cooling device (if applicable) into the other. The controller can manage both simultaneously.

6. הוראות הפעלה
6.1 הבנת התצוגה
The controller features a dual display:
- ערך תהליך (PV): Displays the current measured temperature from the probe.
- ערך מוגדר (SV): Displays the target temperature or the ON/OFF temperature settings.
6.2 Setting Temperature (Heating Mode)
In heating mode, the device turns ON when the temperature drops below the ON-Temperature and turns OFF when it reaches the OFF-Temperature. For heating, the ON-Temperature must be set לְהוֹרִיד than the OFF-Temperature.
- הקש על מַעֲרֶכֶת button once. The ON-Temperature (e.g., '1oN' for Outlet 1) will flash.
- השתמש ב- UP or לְמַטָה arrows to adjust the desired ON-Temperature.
- לִלְחוֹץ מַעֲרֶכֶת again. The OFF-Temperature (e.g., '1oF' for Outlet 1) will flash.
- השתמש ב- UP or לְמַטָה arrows to adjust the desired OFF-Temperature.
- הקש על לְהַצִיל כפתור כדי לאשר ולשמור את ההגדרות שלך.
Example: For heating, if you set ON-Temp to 70°F and OFF-Temp to 75°F, the heater will turn on at 70°F and turn off at 75°F.
6.3 Setting Temperature (Cooling Mode)
In cooling mode, the device turns ON when the temperature rises above the ON-Temperature and turns OFF when it reaches the OFF-Temperature. For cooling, the ON-Temperature must be set גבוה יותר than the OFF-Temperature.
- Follow steps 1-4 from the Heating Mode instructions to adjust ON-Temperature and OFF-Temperature.
- Ensure the ON-Temperature is set גבוה יותר than the OFF-Temperature for cooling operation.
- הקש על לְהַצִיל כפתור כדי לאשר ולשמור את ההגדרות שלך.
Example: For cooling, if you set ON-Temp to 80°F and OFF-Temp to 75°F, the cooler will turn on at 80°F and turn off at 75°F.
6.4 בחירת יחידת טמפרטורה (°C/°F)
To switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press and hold the UP arrow button for approximately 3 seconds. The display will change units accordingly.
6.5 כיול טמפרטורה
The Pymeter controller is factory-calibrated for accuracy. If you suspect an inaccurate reading, you can perform a calibration using an ice-water mixture. An ice-water mixture (melting ice) should read 32°F (0°C).
- Place the temperature probe into a mixture of ice and water, ensuring the ice is melting.
- Allow a few minutes for the probe to stabilize. The reading should be 32°F or 0°C.
- If the reading is off, consult the full manual for specific calibration steps, which typically involve an offset adjustment in the settings menu.
6.6 Power-On Delay Function
This function prevents rapid cycling of compressors (e.g., in chillers) by introducing a delay before restarting after a power interruption or temperature change. This protects the equipment and extends its lifespan. The delay time can usually be adjusted in the advanced settings.
6.7 הגדרות אזעקה
The controller can be configured to sound an alarm if the temperature exceeds or falls below a set range, or if the sensor malfunctions. Refer to the detailed manual for specific steps to set high/low temperature alarm thresholds and enable/disable the sensor fault alarm.

7. תחזוקה
- ניקוי: Wipe the controller's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
- טיפול בבדיקה: Keep the temperature probe clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the probe cable.
- אִחסוּן: יש לאחסן את המכשיר במקום קריר ויבש כאשר אינו בשימוש, הרחק מאור שמש ישיר וטמפרטורות קיצוניות.

8. פתרון תקלות
| בְּעָיָה | סיבה אפשרית | פִּתָרוֹן |
|---|---|---|
| המכשיר לא נדלק. | No power to the outlet; loose power cord. | Check the power outlet with another device. Ensure the controller's power cord is fully inserted. |
| Appliance (heater/cooler) not activating. | Incorrect ON/OFF temperature settings; appliance not plugged in or faulty. | Verify ON-Temp and OFF-Temp settings are correct for heating/cooling mode. Ensure appliance is properly plugged into the controller and is functional. |
| קריאת טמפרטורה לא מדויקת. | Sensor dirty or damaged; need for calibration. | Clean the sensor. Perform temperature calibration using an ice-water mixture (refer to section 6.5). |
| Alarm beeping continuously. | Temperature outside set alarm limits; sensor fault. | Check the current temperature and compare it to your alarm settings. Inspect the sensor connection and cable for damage. |
