FAQs
What is the temperature differential?
The temperature differential is the difference between the temperature at which the heating or cooling device turns on and off. You can adjust this setting to minimize rapid cycling of your devices.
What is the maximum load for heating?
The maximum resistive load for heating is 1840W (16A).
What is the maximum load for cooling?
The maximum inductive load for cooling is 500W (16A).
How do I calibrate the temperature sensor?
Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on calibrating the sensor. This usually involves comparing the controller's reading to a known accurate thermometer and adjusting the controller's settings accordingly.
What is the purpose of the compressor delay?
The compressor delay prevents the cooling device from turning on and off too quickly, which can damage the compressor. It provides a set amount of time between the switching of heating and cooling.
Where can I find the wiring diagrams?
Wiring diagrams are included in the product documentation that came with the unit.
What is the length of the sensor cable?
The sensor cable is 2 meters long.
Troubleshooting
The temperature reading is inaccurate.
Calibrate the temperature sensor according to the instructions in the manual.
The heating or cooling device is not turning on.
Check the wiring connections to the heating or cooling device. Verify the power supply is working correctly and the device itself. Ensure that the temperature is outside of the set range.
The display is not working.
Check the power supply to the controller. Ensure the controller is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on.
The controller is cycling the heating/cooling too frequently.
Adjust the temperature differential setting to a wider range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Wiring: The TC225 requires proper wiring to connect to your heating and cooling devices. Consult the included documentation for wiring diagrams and safety precautions. Ensure that all connections are secure and that you are using the correct gauge wire for the current draw.
- Mounting: The controller must be mounted in a secure and accessible location. The front panel dimensions are 75mm.
- Sensor Placement: Position the 2m plastic-coated sensor in the area where you need to control the temperature. Ensure that the sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight or drafts.
- Compatibility: This controller is compatible with a wide range of heating and cooling devices, but make sure that the devices' power requirements do not exceed the controller's limits (16A heating/cooling). Check the inductive load limitations of the cooling devices.
- Care: To clean the controller, use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Avoid getting water inside the unit. Regularly check the connections for corrosion.
