5.1 Basiese werking
- Viewing Temperature: The default display shows the current temperature measured by the probe.
- Adjusting Setpoints:
- Druk die STEL button to enter the setpoint adjustment mode.
- Gebruik die Up en Af buttons to change the desired temperature setpoint.
- Druk STEL weer om die nuwe ingestelde punt te bevestig en te stoor.
- Toegang tot parameters: Druk en hou die STEL button for several seconds to access the programming menu. Use Up en Af to navigate through parameters and STEL om te kies en te bevestig.
- AUX-funksie: Die AUX button typically controls an auxiliary function, such as manual defrost or light control, depending on configuration. Refer to the detailed programming manual for specific AUX button functionality.
5.2 Gevorderde programmering
The TSXT-213 offers extensive programming options for compressor differential, defrost cycles, fan control, alarm thresholds, and master/slave configurations. These advanced settings are accessed through the programming menu. For detailed instructions on each parameter, consult the comprehensive programming guide provided by Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
Alternatively, the optional TS2-K programming key can be used for quick and efficient configuration of multiple units.

- Skoonmaak: Maak die voorpaneel gereeld skoon met 'n sagte, damp lap. Moenie skuur skoonmaakmiddels of oplosmiddels gebruik nie.
- Sonde-inspeksie: Inspect the temperature probe and its wiring for any signs of damage or corrosion. Ensure the probe is securely positioned in its measurement location.
- Terminale verbindings: Occasionally check electrical terminal connections for tightness, especially after initial installation or if the unit has been subjected to vibration.
- Sagteware-opdaterings: Gaan die vervaardiger na website for any available firmware updates or new programming guides.
Waarskuwing: Disconnect power to the unit before performing any maintenance or cleaning to prevent electric shock.
7. Probleemoplossing
This section provides solutions to common issues encountered with the TSXT-213. For problems not listed here, contact technical support.
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Vertoon is leeg | No power; incorrect wiring; internal fault. | Check power supply and wiring connections. Ensure 115 VAC is present. If power is confirmed, contact support. |
| Verkeerde temperatuurlesing | Faulty probe; incorrect probe type selected in settings; poor probe connection. | Verify probe type (PTC/NTC) matches setting. Check probe wiring for damage or loose connections. Test probe if possible. Replace probe if faulty. |
| Relay outputs not activating | Setpoint not met; programming error; faulty relay. | Check setpoint and differential settings. Review programming parameters. Verify load connections. If all settings are correct and load is functional, relay may be faulty. |
| Eenheid reageer nie op knoppiedruk nie | Unit locked; internal fault. | Check if the keypad is locked (refer to programming manual). Power cycle the unit. If issue persists, contact support. |
