DC 12V Digital Thermostat Module -58℉ to 257℉ Fahrenheit Temp Display Temperature Controller Board with 20A Relay Waterproof Sensor Probe Dual LED Display Red Blue

Used it to control cooling fans for RV fridge. So no instructions and could be a bitch to initially figure out without any background. But realistically very easy once you do. Someone posted some instructions on here in Amazon so read those and you’ll get it. When you do this works fantastic. I actually bought more and use these boards now. These work for hot or cold with perfect control in Fahrenheit with adjustments for how long and how many degrees of heat or cooling. Great unit and reasonable!

I am using this for a small greenhouse and it works great. This is what I used...

Recommendation: If you are using a Device that Requires more than 20 Amps (or maybe "always" Regardless of Device Amperage Need), you may want to Use a Relay between this Controller and your Device - Using this Controller to "Trigger" your Relay and using the Relay to Power your Device.

I have purchased 7 of these. 3 in operation currently, 2 spares, and 2 that I managed to short out somehow. I love that the load circuit can handle AC or DC, and that the read out operates on DC. Very handy in my off grid home. One unit senses temp on a thermal storage tank and controls a 120 vac circulator pump, the second senses my wood boiler temp and controls a 120 vac blower. The third controls a 12 vdc radiator fan and 12 vdc circulator pump. I did somehow short two of them out... pretty sure that was my fault. My only complaints are that they are not very easy to mount to anything and they do not include any schematics whatsoever. What you see on the images section of Amazon is all you get, which is fine as long as you are aware.

I have the configuration set to heat at 50°C. While heating was achieved, it was within minutes that the relay which was rated for 125v AC 20A that it started smoking and bubbling. Prior to this, the single DC voltage supply worked well, but wanted to test the AC capability. It proved a potential fire hazard which really stinks. Cannot recommend for AC applications. Use caution.

And don't forget to let me know if I've "Missed Something" and/or "Got Something Wrong". Oh... And One More Thing... Please "Overlook" any Grammatical/Spelling Errors. :-)

Read the other reviews for "how to use" instructions if you have any problems with the diagram. They're supposed to arrive as "cooling" controllers, but mine was set to heat. Easy to change, and very easy to work with. I love that the relay is independent of the control circuit. Great value, nice unit! I used these to control a cooling fan installations where the inverter-charger or fridge was in a small cabinet that HAD to have positive ventilation. They have proven reliable and essential where temperature is an issue.

This Temperature Module comes very well packaged and it seems to be very well manufactured. Unfortunately, there are no instructions and the instructions on the sales page (see photos) are not very helpful and, quite frankly, are downright confusing. So, let me try to help those who purchase this module after me... There are 6 Parameters accessed by holding down the "Set" Button, P0-P5, P0 lets you choose between Heating or Cooling (H/C). P0 simply tells the relay when to be closed or open, once the Temperature Probe senses the set temperature the Relay either Opens or Closes Depending on H or C. Let me give you a simple example, I have a Battery Box I want to keep cool, I have a 12v fan that I want to turn on at 79f and run until the inside temp drops below 79f. My P0 setting will be C (for cooling) and The bottom LED will be set to 79. If the Temperature is less than 79f, the relay is open, once the probe senses 79f the relay closes and turns on the fan, the fan then runs until the temp is below 79f. The P1 setting is for Hysteresis (anybody know what the heck that means ??? ) Well, it is simply the Temp spread between turning the relay on or off. The Default setting is 2 (degrees), this means in the above example, the relay will close at 79f and it will re-open at 77f ( 2 degrees difference) , this setting keeps your fan from constantly turning off and on, again and again. P2 is for Temperature correction, I assume this allows you to adjust the Temps the Probe is sensing if it is not reading correctly, the Factory Default is 0 and I would just leave it there unless you have a very good reason to change it. P3 and P4 allow you to adjust the run time and the "in-Between" time of your device (fan in the above example), you should only need this if you find that your device is staying on too-long or not staying off long enough. Finally P5, this will lock in your settings just in case you bump the "Set" button and accidentally change the temp setting, I recommend locking because the "Set" button is very easy to bump into and it can change the set temperature quite easily. I hope this has been helpful, please let me know if this helped.

This module is perfect for small DIY projects. I needed to control a small 12VDC cooling fan and this did the trick. My only complaint is with the very poor quality of the written instructions. Also, the written instructions are only available with the product description online. There was nothing included in the package itself.
