How to Use the CLI-Mate 16 Amp Temp-Controller:

Step 1: Powering On

1. Plug In: Connect the CLI-Mate Temp-Controller to a power source. Make sure it’s rated for 16 Amps (max 3680W), and your heating/cooling device is also compatible with this power rating.

2. Turn On: Press the power button to turn the unit on. The LCD display should light up and show the current room temperature.

Step 2: Setting the Desired Temperature

1. Adjust Temperature: Use the + or - buttons to set the desired temperature for your environment. You can typically set it within the range of -40°C to 99°C (depending on your specific model).

2. Set Differential: The differential setting determines how much the temperature can fluctuate before the controller turns on or off your heating/cooling device. Use the differential setting to prevent the system from constantly cycling, allowing some tolerance. Adjust this via the differential button or similar control depending on the model.

Step 3: Set Mode (Heating or Cooling)

1. Choose Mode: Press the mode button (usually indicated as "Heat" or "Cool") to toggle between heating and cooling modes.

   • Heating Mode: The controller will turn on your heating device when the temperature drops below your set point.

   • Cooling Mode: The controller will turn on your cooling device when the temperature exceeds your set point.

Step 4: Connect Your Device

1. Plug Your Device In: After setting the desired temperature and mode, plug your heater or cooling device into the controller’s outlet. Ensure that the power rating of the device doesn't exceed 16 Amps.

Step 5: Monitor the Temperature

1. Check the Display: The LCD will constantly display the current temperature of your space. It will automatically activate the heating or cooling device as needed to maintain the set temperature within the differential range.

2. Adjust as Needed: If you find the temperature is too high or low, simply press the + or - buttons to fine-tune the settings.

Step 6: Safety Features

1. Overload Protection: If the controller detects a load over 16 Amps, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage. Make sure the connected device is within the specified power limits.

2. Temperature Limits: If the temperature goes beyond the set limits, the controller will continue regulating the environment to ensure optimal conditions.

Troubleshooting:

• Not Turning On: Ensure that the power cord is securely plugged in and that the device is receiving power.

• Overload Indicator: If the overload protection kicks in, check that your connected heating/cooling device doesn’t exceed the maximum power rating of 16 Amps.

• Temperature Fluctuation: If the temperature is fluctuating too much, consider adjusting the differential setting to provide a more stable environment.

Maintenance Tips:

• Regularly clean the controller to avoid dust accumulation.

• Ensure that all power connections are secure and that the connected heating/cooling device is in good working condition.
