Nastavení a instalace
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Ranco ETC-141000-000. Please follow these guidelines carefully.
Montáž řídicí jednotky
The control unit is designed for wall mounting. Select a location that is easily accessible, protected from direct moisture (unless using a NEMA 4X model), and away from excessive vibration or heat sources. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

Umístění senzoru
The temperature sensor is critical for accurate readings. Place the sensor in the area where temperature control is required, ensuring it is not directly exposed to air currents from fans or heating/cooling elements that could cause inaccurate readings. The sensor has an 8-foot lead and can be extended up to 400 feet using 18 or 22-gauge thermostat wire. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

Elektrické připojení
Before making any electrical connections, ensure the power supply is disconnected. The unit supports 120V, 208V, and 240V AC. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your unit for specific connection details. All wiring should comply with local electrical codes and standards. Improper wiring can lead to malfunction or damage.
Návod k obsluze
The Ranco ETC-141000-000 is designed for user-friendly operation with a simple 4-step setup process.
Základní operace
- Zapnutí: Once properly wired, apply power to the unit. The LCD display will illuminate, showing the current sensor temperature.
- Zobrazení teploty: The LCD continuously displays the current temperature measured by the sensor. You can switch between °F and °C modes as desired.
- Nastavení teploty: Use the "SET" button to enter the programming mode. Use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the desired setpoint temperature. Press "SET" again to confirm.
- Nastavení diferenciálu: The unit allows for a wide differential adjustment (1°F to 30°F or -17°C to -1°C). This setting determines the temperature range around the setpoint before the relay activates or deactivates.
- Režim topení/chlazení: Select the appropriate mode (heating or cooling) based on your application. This setting dictates whether the relay activates when the temperature is below or above the setpoint.
- Anti-Short Cycle Delay: For cooling applications, an anti-short cycle compressor delay is built-in to protect the compressor from rapid cycling.
- Blokování klávesnice: To prevent accidental or unauthorized changes to settings, the keypad can be locked. Refer to the detailed manual (not provided here, but typically included with the product) for instructions on activating and deactivating the keypad lockout feature.
Údržba
The Ranco ETC-141000-000 is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its continued performance.
- Čištění: Periodically wipe the control unit and display with a soft, damp tkanina. Nepoužívejte abrazivní čisticí prostředky nebo rozpouštědla.
- Kontrola senzoru: Ensure the sensor and its cable are free from damage, kinks, or excessive dirt buildup. The sensor is rated IP67, meaning it is protected against dust and temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes).
- Kontroly připojení: Annually, or as needed, inspect all electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Podmínky prostředí: Zajistěte, aby provozní prostředí zůstalo v rámci specifikovaného rozsahu teploty a vlhkosti, aby se zabránilo předčasnému opotřebení.
Odstraňování problémů
If you encounter issues with your Ranco ETC-141000-000, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problém | Možná příčina | Řešení |
|---|---|---|
| Displej je prázdný nebo jednotka nereaguje. | Žádné napájení, nesprávné zapojení nebo vnitřní závada. | Check power supply. Verify electrical connections according to the wiring diagram. If power is present and wiring is correct, contact technical support. |
| Nesprávný údaj teploty. | Sensor improperly placed, damaged sensor, or loose sensor connection. | Ensure sensor is correctly positioned in the desired temperature zone. Inspect sensor cable for damage. Check sensor connections at the unit. |
| Unit not controlling temperature as expected. | Incorrect setpoint, differential, or heating/cooling mode settings. | Verify setpoint, differential, and heating/cooling mode settings are appropriate for your application. Ensure keypad lockout is not active if you are trying to change settings. |
| Nastavení ztraceno po výpadku napájenítage. | This should not occur. | The EEPROM memory retains control settings during power outages. If settings are lost, contact technical support as this indicates an unusual fault. |
For issues not covered here, or if problems persist, please contact Ranco technical support.
