Electronic Temperature Control Settings & Specifications

Description

The Ranco electronic temperature control (ETC) is 
designed to provide on/off control for heating and 
cooling. It is equipped with a liquid crystal display 
(LCD) that provides a constant readout of the sensed 
temperature, and a touch keypad that allows the user to 
easily and accurately select the set point temperature, 
differential and heating/cooling mode of operation.

Programming steps and Display

The ETC can be programmed in four simple steps using 
the LCD display and three keys on the face of the control.

STEP 1

 To start programming press the 

SET

 key once to 

access the Fahrenheit/Celsius mode. The Display 
will show the current status, either F for degrees 
Fahrenheit or C for degrees Celsius. Then press 
either the up or down arrow key to toggle 
between the F or C designation.

STEP 2 

Press the 

SET 

key again to access the set point. 

The LCD will display the current setpoint and 
the 

S1

 indicator will be blinking on and off to 

indicate that the control is in the set point mode. 
Then press either the up key to increase or the 
down key to decrease the setpoint to the desired 
temperature.

STEP 3

 Press the 

SET

 key again to access the differential. 

The LCD will display the current differential and 
the 

DIF1

 indicator will be blinking on and off 

to indicate that the control is in the differential 
mode. Then press the up key to increase or the 
down key to decrease the differential to the 
desired setting.

STEP 4

 Press the 

SET 

key again to access the cooling or 

heating mode. The LCD will display the current 
mode, either 

C1

 for cooling or 

H1 

for heating. 

Then press either the up or down key to toggle 
between the 

C1

 or 

H1

 designation. 

(This setting 

must remain at H1 for proper furnace operation 
and temperature regulation.)

 Press the 

SET 

key 

once more and programming is complete.

NOTE:

 The ETC will automatically end programming if no 

keys are pressed for thirty seconds. Any settings that have 
been changed on the control will be stored at that point.

Troubleshooting Error Messages

Display Message

E1 

Appears when either the up or down key is pressed 
when not in the programming mode.

 

To correct:

 If the E1 message appears even when no 

keys are being pressed replace the control.

E2

  Appears if the control settings are not properly 

stored in memory.

 

To correct: Re-set all settings. If the display continues 
to show E2, replace the control.

EP

  Appears when the probe is open, shorted, or sensing 

a temperature that is out of range

 

To correct:

 Check to see if the sensed temperature is 

out of range. If not, check for probe damage by com 
paring it to a known ambient temperature between 
–30°F and 220°F. Replace the control if necessary.

EE 

Appears if the EEPROM data has been corrupted.

 

To correct:

 This condition can not be field repaired. 

Replace the control.

CL

  Appears if calibration mode has been entered.

 

To correct:

 Remove power to the control for at least 

five seconds. Reapply power. If the CL message still 
appears, replace the control
