5. セットアップ
- 温度プローブを接続します。 Insert the metal tip of the temperature probe into the designated port on the side of the controller. Ensure it is securely connected.
- コントローラーの電源をオンにします。 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).
- アプライアンスを接続する: 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. 操作手順
6.1 表示の見方
The controller features a dual display:
- PV（プロセス値）: Displays the current measured temperature from the probe.
- SV（設定値）: 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 より低い than the OFF-Temperature.
- を押す セット button once. The ON-Temperature (e.g., '1oN' for Outlet 1) will flash.
- 使用 UP or 下 arrows to adjust the desired ON-Temperature.
- プレス セット again. The OFF-Temperature (e.g., '1oF' for Outlet 1) will flash.
- 使用 UP or 下 arrows to adjust the desired OFF-Temperature.
- を押す 保存 button to confirm and save your settings.
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 より高い 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 より高い than the OFF-Temperature for cooling operation.
- を押す 保存 button to confirm and save your settings.
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 温度単位の選択（°C/°F）
摂氏と華氏を切り替えるには、 UP arrow button for approximately 3 seconds. The display will change units accordingly.
6.5温度校正
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 アラーム設定
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. メンテナンス
- クリーニング： Wipe the controller's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.
- プローブのお手入れ: 温度プローブは清潔に保ち、ゴミなどが付着しないようにしてください。プローブケーブルを曲げたり損傷したりしないようにしてください。
- ストレージ： 使用していないときは、直射日光や極端な温度を避け、涼しく乾燥した場所にデバイスを保管してください。
- 接続チェック: Periodically inspect all electrical connections for wear or damage.
