I have the same controller, but havn't wired it up yet. I think it may have even been the same ebay seller.

When I bought mine, the seller emailed me a link to the instruction manual. Do you have this?

[donafams]

yes i have the instructions but cant figure out the alarm

I don't have a copy of the instructions on your model but the temp presets are normally at address 0001. AH1 and AL1 are the on/off (respectively) temps for the alarm. If you set AH = AL, the alarm relay is disabled. Are you using the alarm relay for anything?

[donafams]

no i dont need the alarm.. just wish i could shut it off

here is the instruction manual

Appearenty yours only has an alarm "on" setting. It's #2 or "SHP" in the table. To shut the alarm off, set the SHP parameter to some high value--999 or the like. You need to press and hold the SET button for more than 5 seconds to enter the parameter loop. It doesn't say how to step through each parm but I imagine you press the set button (do not hold) when you reach each parm to change then use the up/down buttons to change the value in the display. The parm you need to set to 999 is the first parm. Once it's value is set, press and hold the SET button for more than 5 seconds. *** The values have negatives so make sure you use the Up button to increase out of negitive values. ***

Also note that if you have the AUTO set, it is reset to zero (off) when you enter the parameter setting logic. To turn it back on, you'll need to loop through the parms until you get to AT then set it to 1. Then press and hold SET for more than 5 seconds.

Front Panel and Parameter setting loop.

1) Press SET and hold over 5 seconds to enter/exit the parameter setting loop.

2) Parameters adjusted are:
SHP→Sc→SOH→P→]→d→t→At→LoK

3) When in the parameter setting loop and no keys were pressed

for 30 seconds, it will automatically exit and parameters adjusted

will not be valid. (Not Saved)

(To exit with adjusted value saved, press SET over 5 seconds.)

4) When in the parameter setting loop, if At=01 is being set, press

SET over 5s to exit. Then At indicator will be on and Auto-tuning

will take effect.

5) Everytime entering parameter setting loop, Auto-tuning will reset to At=00.

6) To prevent other change parameters, LoK values can be set to 01 or

02 before exiting parameter setting loop.

Correction: The SHP parm is actually an off set for the target temp. The alarm lights when the off set is reached. Evidently, yours is set to zero or a negative number. By setting it to a positive value 999 or the like (as stated before), it should disable the alarm light. It means it will come on when the target temp + the off set is reached. Hopefully, you should never reach that temp.
