STC-1000 Digital Temperature Controller AC

Description

The STC-1000 HW-524A is a compact and versatile digital temperature controller designed to offer reliable, accurate, and automated temperature control in a variety of environments. Operating on 12V DC, this module is ideal for applications where stable temperature regulation is essential, such as aquariums, incubators, greenhouses, fermentation systems, and small HVAC setups. Equipped with a dual relay output, the STC-1000 can control both heating and cooling devices simultaneously. This dual-functionality allows users to maintain a precise temperature range by activating either a heater or a cooler depending on the ambient temperature and configured setpoints. The temperature range it supports spans from -50°C to +99.9°C, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, from low-temperature refrigeration to moderate heating applications. The unit features a 3-digit LED display and simple button-based interface, enabling easy setup of temperature setpoints, hysteresis (differential value), and compressor delay time. These programmable parameters give users fine-grained control over how and when the relays are activated, preventing short cycling and improving the life expectancy of connected devices. Included with the controller is a waterproof NTC temperature sensor (typically with a 1-meter cable), which provides accurate real-time readings for precise control. The module also includes safety features such as high/low temperature alarms and sensor error detection, adding an extr
