• Access settings: hold SET 5 seconds - no password by default
• Automatic defrost — off-cycle every 6 hours to prevent ice formation

FAQ

Do I need to program it?
No. Pre-programmed for standard cooling. Wire it in and it runs.

My compressor is over 1HP — will this work?
Yes — wire through an external power contactor. The controller handles the signal, the contactor handles the load.

What's the difference between EWPlus 961 and IDPlus 961?
Same controller, different market. EWPlus 961 = 115V North America. IDPlus 961 = 230V Europe. If your system is 115V, this is your unit.

Alarm code E1 - what does it mean?
Sensor fault. Check probe wiring and connections.
