plastic parts on the shell, pay attention to the insulation around the connectors.
Please do not use the product if it is damaged.
3. DO NOT use the device on anything that could possibly have a surge amp
rating greater than 10 amp. The total loading power of two heating outlets
combined should not exceed the rated power of this product (1100W at 110V).
4. DO NOT use the equipment in wet environments, keep your hands dry.
5. DO NOT operate the controller around explosive gas, vapor or dust.
6. DO NOT open the case of the controller or alter the internal circuit.
7. DO NOT allow children to operate this device, keep children stay away from
the controller.
8. DO NOT use or store the device in an environment of high temperature,
humidity, explosive or inflammable field. The performance of the controller

slowly damaged by salt water or acid-alkali liquid.
10. NOTE: If the relays are used over capability or their life expectancy,
contact fusing or burning may occasionally occur. Please always consider your
appliance’s condition and use the relays within their rated load.

1. Check and Set Your Time
Figure 1
Plug the TC-DN2 into the power supply socket to start controller.
Short press “▼” or “▲” key to view current time (as shown in Figure
1). The screen will return to normal display after 2 seconds.
To set time, please refer to Advanced Setting Program 3.1
2. Basic Setting Program (4 setting steps)
Note 1: You can only set the Basic Setting to run this temperature controller, if
not necessary, please leave the advanced Setting unchanged.
Note 2: Short press “SET” can switch and cycle all parameter settings (SET
sequence: DT→NT→dS→nS).
Note 3: Press & Hold “▼” or “▲” key can adjust value much more quickly.
Note 4: Press & Hold the “SET” button 3 seconds at any time to save and quit
setting mode.

2.1-Set Day Time Start Hour (DT)
Press “SET” key-- to enter Basic Settings (as shown in Figure 2). The upper
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust DT value (default
6 o'clock). From day time start hour to night time start hour, controller will
working at dS centering temperature.
Figure 2
2.2-Set Night Time Start Hour (NT)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to NT Setting (as shown in Figure 3). The upper
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust NT value (default
18 o'clock). From night time start hour to day time start hour, controller will
working at nS centering temperature
Figure 3

2.3-Set Daytime Temperature Setpoint (dS)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to dS Setting (as shown in Figure 4). The lower
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust dS value (default
77℉). This temperature setpoint works during day time period.
Figure 4
2.4-Set Nighttime Temperature Setpoint (nS)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to NS Setting (as shown in Figure 5). The lower
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust NS value (default
77℉). This temperature setpoint works during night time period.
Figure 5
When all settings are complete, hold down “SET” button 3 seconds or leave
controller with no operation 15 seconds, system will save setting changes and
return to normal working mode.

Now the controller programming works as below:
Daytime Period: DT to NT, temperature controlled at (dS ±dF) ℉
Nighttime Period: NT to DT, temperature controlled at (nS ±dF) ℉
Note: The default dF (differential value) is 2.0℉, you can adjust the dF
value in Advanced Setting.
3. Advanced Setting Program
SET sequence:Time Hour→Time Minute→dF→AL→AH→Pt→CA→CF
3.1 Set Current Time
Press & Hold “SET” key 3s-- to enter Advanced Setting (as shown in Figure
6). The upper window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust
Time Hour value. Press “SET” again, the lower window number will flicker,
press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust Time Minute value.
Figure 6
3.2 Set Differential Value (dF)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to dF Setting (as shown in Figure 7). The lower
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust dF value (default
2.0℉). Adjustable Range: 1.0-30.0℉. Differential value means how far from
the setpoint temperature can drift before turning on heating or cooling.

Figure 7
3.3 Set Alarm Low Point (AL)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to AL Setting (as shown in Figure 8). The lower
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust AL value (default
-40℉).
Figure 8
3.4 Set Alarm High Point (AH)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to AH Setting (as shown in Figure 9). The lower
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust AH value
(default 212℉).

Figure 9
3.5 Set Compressor Delay/Protect Time (Pt)
Press “SET” key-- to switch to Pt Setting (as shown in Figure 10). The lower
window number will flicker, press “▼” or “▲” key to adjust Pt value (default
0 minute). Adjustable Range: 0-10 minutes.
Figure 10
When cooling, compressor delay function can keep the refrigeration off
between cycles to protect your compressor. That means compressor won't start
refrigeration immediately, but waiting for a delay time if it falls into the
Protection time frame. Delay time will be calculated right after the moment
refrigeration stops.
