Usage Instructions
Initial Setup
First, connect the USB connector of the Lens Heater Strip into the USB Power Output socket of the Lens Heater Controller.
Next, connect a suitable power source to the Power Input socket of the Heater Controller. The power source must have a voltage between 6V to 18V and be rated to provide at least 1.5 Amps of continuous current.
As soon as power is connected, the Heater Controller's LCD display will light up red and the controller will enter into the programming stage.
Programming the Controller
There are three settings that can be altered: Delay, On time and Level.
Setting Descriptions
| Setting | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Delay | 0–24 | Number of hours the controller should remain inactive (not heating) before heating begins |
| On time | 0–24 | Number of hours the controller will remain active (heating) after the Delay period ends |
| Level | L1, L2, L3 | Heating power level (L1 = lowest/most efficient, L3 = highest/least efficient) |
Note: The total "Delay" plus "On time" cannot exceed 24 hours.
Starting the Program
Once the desired Delay, On time and Level have been set, you should not press any buttons on the Heater Controller. The heating program will commence running 1 minute after the last button-press occurred, and the LCD display will shut off to conserve energy.
Changing Settings
If the heating program has already commenced and changes subsequently need to be made to the Level, Delay or On time, then the power source should be disconnected and reconnected to ensure that the new settings are registered correctly.
