For example: set to 2°C, the temperature set point can only be decreased to 2°C minimum.

Press and hold "SET" for 1 second to display PO, press "SET" repeatedly to advance to P4, within 4 seconds press ^/v to set the correction value. After 4 seconds without button action the display automatically returns. For example, If the actual temperature (or that measured by a calibrated device) is 25C; when the temperature is corrected to 0, PV displays 25; if a temperature correction value of 1.5 is set, then PV would display "26.5". Likewise, if a temperature correction value of -1.5 is set, then PV would display "23.5". -------------------------------------------------------------------- P5 Delay Start Time (unit: minutes) When the refrigerator or heater is required to operate with a delay, e.g. to prevent a refrigerant compressor motor stalling oroverload, the delay function can be turned on to preserve the life of the unit.

Thank you 🙏 The most important thing is to understand, that we do not connect our load gear to S1 and S2 with + and - from the gear. But S1 and S2 is an interruption of the + side from our gear.
Very nice job explaining and showing how this controller works. I have one question some videos show jumping a wire from either the plus or minus side to S1 why? Thank you.

The best explained review for W3230, yet i still have a question sir: Can i use this device to keep the refrigerator between 13⁰ and 16⁰ ? I want to change a refrigerator to a fermentation box .
@@robojax One thing (which is not explained in your video) i have also found out ; when using as a cooler the difference between P2 and P3 (max. Heat and min. Heat ) can not be lower than 5⁰.
I have found my Fridge Compressor heats up the vehicle cabin quite a bit, so this device will now detect the compressor exhaust heat and turn on a fan extracting the heated cabin air. TY.
I don't remember what I did in this video as I have over 500 videos. But if it is possible to change the brightness for sure I have explained it. if you watch fully and didn't see it, then it does not have such feature.
I have purchased and tested one of these devices (110-220v with 220v/10A 12v/20A relay). I have found a number of anomalies with this device compared to this video and several other W3230 instruction sets and videos. As this device posesses a generic micro-controller, there may be any number of differing programs or coding applied and hence a range of differing methods for user operation and setting ranges. I have prepared a full instruction set as tested, highlighting all of the anomalies, warnings and Cautions. However it is too large to accomodate in this comment section.
Hi Again, I assume your answer was meant to state "voltage" and not "village". You did state and show 220v on the controller in the video. I wanted your expert opinion, if connecting UK 230vac on this controller would be ok? What do you believe would be the max or peak vac that it could handle without damaging the controller? Thanks. Pat.
Hi, Yes that is what I meant. My phone (the AI) is sometimes helping me to make "my life easier" LOL. But the context of our talk will help to know we talk about voltage. if your item is made for 220V, then yes. you can use.
hi, following instructions cant seem to get this to work, could you tell me the settings i need to come on at 2 deg c then go back off at 5 deg c. i can activate relay but wether on or off cant read any power at output.thanks. It is the 24v version. i intended on using to heat a very small battery compartment
Hi your videos are always very detailed. Could you say if this can be used with a different temp sensor. I would be monitoring transmission oil temps with this device as well as to turn on the cooler fan when the temp gets to 190 degrees F. Hope to hear you thoughts. Thanks
Build your own and control is any ways you want. here is one example ua-cam.com/video/dVh77wT-4Ao/v-deo.html but I've got more examples if you search my channel.
Hi many thanks for the reply. I will try to build with the esp32 and add a display. Just need a small project box to mount on the dash board. Also the bluetooth function would be an advantage. I can manage the hardware aspect but the software I will have to learn. Many thanks and have a good year.
hi, can you write down the most acceptable settings for a refrigerator that should maintain around 8 degrees Celsius, so that I don't mess anything up?
Interesting AC/DC gadget. Let me ask you, I purchased a power supply and was sent the wrong one for my country. Do you have a video where showing how to covert a 220V to work with 110V AC?
for AC is it so minimal that would be negligible. for DC however you can calculate 10mA for each segment of a digit for example digit 8 has 7 segments(and digit 3 has 5 segments) so 7x10mA=70mA only for one digit. Then the relay consumes about 50mA and 10mA for the board. Do the math.
@@robojax Thank you! The math goes quite high. The digit consumes 10mA but not at 12V. Do you say that only linear regulators are inside? At 12V it can easily be 5W or more. Really so high?
I believe internal regulator is 5V so all the value I gave are at 5V. I wish I had tested the consumption of the module. it never occurred to me because of AC I neglected the power consumption.
hello! :) what is the lowest possible value for the SV? for mine, I see it is 7 degrees. i want to change it to around 3 degrees but lowest SV Limit is 7 degrees..
I have mine set to 3°C but it will go lower if required. I found the P05 to be the setting that sets the maximum temperature to disengage the relay and not P02.

Press and hold "SET" for 1 second to display PO, press "SET" repeatedly to advance to P3, within 4 seconds press ^/v to set the lowest settable
temperature, the lowest value is -55C, After 4 seconds without button action the display automatically returns.

for AC is it so minimal that would be negligible. for DC however you can calculate 10mA for each segment of a digit for example digit 8 has 7 segments(and digit 3 has 5 segments) so 7x10mA=70mA only for one digit. Then the relay consumes about 50mA and 10mA for the board. Do the math.
@@robojax Thank you! The math goes quite high. The digit consumes 10mA but not at 12V. Do you say that only linear regulators are inside? At 12V it can easily be 5W or more. Really so high?
I believe internal regulator is 5V so all the value I gave are at 5V. I wish I had tested the consumption of the module. it never occurred to me because of AC I neglected the power consumption.
Can the AC version be used for operating a 12v dc fan or a 24v dc motor?
