TH100ACHIMDX Thermometer

for Stove Pipe, Chimney, w/ remote alarm

1. Features

Thi s thermometer can be used for stove pipe and chimney temperature monitoring. The meter contains two alarm settings for the built-in buzzer. One can be used for high

limit alarm and the other can be used for low fuel alarm. It also has a third alarm for

the connected external buzzer that can be placed at different floor from where the stove is located. The gauge is powered by 12V DC through an AC adapter (included)

for continuous operation. It can also be powered by car battery.

2. Specifications

AC adaptor: 100-240V, 50/60Hz input. 12 VDC, 1 Amp output.

Power consumption: <2W

Sampling rate: 4 samples/second Accuracy: 0.2% full scale Sensor: K type thermocouple, -320-1800°F (-200~900°C). Output for buzzer: 12VDC, 1 Amp

LED display: 0.39 inch, red

Internal buzzer: Two set points alarm.

External buzzer: High limit or low limit alarm

Note 1. Set Alarm for external buzzer.

There are two ways to set the external alarm temperature. a. During the normal operation mode, press Λ or V once to switch the display from

process value (PV) to set value (SV, or target temperature). The display will start to

blink. Press Λ or V again to increase or decrease the SV. When finished, wait 8 seconds and the settings will take effect automatically (the display will stop blinking). b. Press SET key once. Use >, Λ and V keys to enter code 0001. Press SET key to confirm, then the display would be SV (Su). Press SET key again to display the SV

setting. Use >, Λ and V keys to enter the new SV value and press SET to confirm.

Press V k ey to change the display to END. Then, press SET to exit. You can also ignore t he steps after confirmation of SV. The controller w ill return to normal operation

mode automatically if no key is pressed for 1 minute. The flow chart below shows how

to set the SV and alarms in details.

4. Connecting the meter

Figure 2 shows the terminals of the meter. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the

terminal 1 and wall outlet. Connect the external buzzer connector to terminal 2. The

polarity for this socket is center pin positive (+), outer collar negative ( ). Connect the K thermocouple to terminal 3. Please note that thermocouple connector also has

polarity. The wide blade should go to the wide slot.

The default setting for the external buzzer is high limit alarm (see Note 6). The external

buzzer will be on when the tempeature is above SV+Hy (see Note 5), will be off when the temperature drops back to SV.

Note 2. Set alarm for internal buzzer

The meter offers two alarms that can be set to turn on the internal buzzer at specific

temperatures. The first alarm is controlle d by parameter s AH1 and AL1. The initial

setting will turn on the buzzer at 481 °F and off when temperature drops below 480°F. The second alarm is controlled by parameters AH2 and AL2. The initial setting of the

second alarm is deactivated. It can be set as low alarm to send warning.

AH1 and AH2 are the temperatures to turn the inernal buzzer on; AL1 and AL2 are the

temperatures to turn buzzer off. When AH1(2) >AL1(2), the alarm is set for absolute

high alar m as shown in Figure 4 below. When AH1(2) <AL1(2), the alarm is set for absolute low alarm as shown in Figure 5 below. When AH1(2)=AL1(2), the alarm is

deactivated.

Example, if AH1=481, AL1=480, when the temperature goes up to 481°F, the buzzer will be on; when the tempe rature drop s do wn to 480°F, the bu zzer wi ll be o ff. If

AH2=180, AL2=185, when the temperature drops down to 180°F, the buzzer will be

on; when the temperature goes up to 185°F, the buzzer will be off. User can press the shift key (>) to temporarily mute the buzzer sound. The alarm will

buzz again if the alarm set temperature is reached again. To permanently deactivate

the alarm, set AH1=AL1 or AH2=AL2. Please see flow chart in Figure 3 on how to set the value.

The default se tting is both in tern a l and external bu zzer are on when the

temperature is above 481 (SV+Hy, AH1); will be off when the temperature drops

down to 480 (SV, AL1).

Note 5. Calibration offset, PSb is used to set an input offset to compensate the error produced by the sensor. For example, if the meter displays 5 º C when pro be is in

ice/water mixture, setting PSb= -5, will make the controller display 0 ºC.

Note 6. Rd is for system function selection, Its value should be kept as 1 for high limit

alarm.

Note 7. Display unit selection CorF: 0 for Celsius (°C); 1 for Fahrenheit (°F).

Additional note: The remote alarm control output of this thermometer can also be used as a PID or on/off control output. For details, please refer to Auber SYL-1614 manual.
