C3: Water shortage alarm delay time (1S –100S): Continue to work normally when the water shortage time is detected is less than this value. C4: Lower limit temperature setting (1℃-25℃). If it is lower than this value, it will not be cooled; this value cannot be higher than the set temperature value of the constant temperature mode.
Page 35
C6: Heating rod start temperature (1℃-20℃): C6 is 2 degrees lower than C4, otherwise it cannot be adjusted. C7: Maximum room temperature alarm function (42℃-50℃): When the room temperature exceeds this C7, the alarm signal is output and the Cold water machine compressor stops working.
Page 36
The meaning of the fault code is as follows: 2 PCB communication anomalies. Generally due to the connection lines of the boards are damaged or loose. E1: Too high water temperature protection. Water temperature exceeds (target value + C0), too high protection fault output interrupt signal. E2: Too low water temperature protection.
Page 37
It is normal if it changes toward the target value and changes more than 0.3 degrees every 30 seconds. If the change of continual 3 times *30 seconds does not meet the requirements, then the alarm program detects if the temperature difference reaches the alarm value and then starts the alarm.
the connection is correct and normal, switch on from ip to down. Main power locker should open to the up before turn on the main power and connect to the electricity.
