Extra info / Update
Humidity settings range: 0% – 99%, resolution 1%
Setting range for temperature hysteresis: max. 5°C, resolution 0.1°C
Setting range humidity hysteresis: max. 10%, resolution 1%
Outputs can be controlled by combinations of higher or lower temperature than the threshold and/or higher or lower humidity than the threshold
Adjustable continuation time after the temperature and/or humidity threshold has been passed, in the range from 1 to 99 minutes (separately adjustable for each output)
Optionally switch on each output separately after an adjustable period from 1 to 99 hours of inactivity; the output then stays on for the above-mentioned continuation time
Option to switch on one or both outputs for 1 to 99 minutes after the circuit is powered on
Display of the status of the outputs and the actual temperature and humidity and the option of switching the outputs on and off remotely using the RS232 interface
