FAQs of DS1218:
Q: How can I program and set the temperature on the DS1218 Digital Thermostat?
A: You can adjust the temperature setpoint using the push-button interface located on the thermostat. Simply follow the programming instructions in the user manual to set the desired value within the -50C to +110C control range. The digital LED display guides you through the process, making it straightforward and user-friendly.
Q: What is the primary usage and benefit of installing the DS1218 Thermostat?
A: The DS1218 excels at precise temperature control in refrigeration and industrial automation environments. Its rapid response, programmable setpoints, and over-temperature protection help maintain system efficiency while safeguarding equipment from temperature extremes, thereby reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
Q: Where should the DS1218 be installed: DIN rail or wall?
A: The DS1218 offers versatile mounting optionsyou can install it on a standard DIN rail for panel integration or use the wall mount for standalone applications. Choose the mounting method that best fits your installation environment and enclosure type.
Q: What process does the DS1218 follow to trigger an alarm or relay output?
A: When the measured temperature deviates from the user-set limits, the DS1218s microcontroller actuates the relay and activates both the audible buzzer and visual display indication. The SPDT relay contact then switches up to 10A at 230V AC, suitable for controlling external devices or alarms.
Q: How does the DS1218 ensure accurate temperature sensing and control?
A: The thermostat uses an NTC type thermistor sensor combined with a fast-response microcontroller. It provides a resolution of 0.1C and a response time of less than one second, delivering precise and reliable temperature measurement and control.
Q: What are the main installation advantages of the DS1218 unit?
A: The DS1218 is designed for easy, secure, and fast installation. It features screw terminal cable entry, manageable dimensions (75 mm x 22 mm x 110 mm), and compatibility with standard DIN rails and wall surfaces. These features minimize installation time and adapt flexibly to various set-ups.
