Product Overview
The DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat is a plug-in wireless temperature controller that switches a connected heater or cooler on and off using user-set RUN and STOP thresholds, as described in the DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat user guide.
Details in this guide are rewritten from the official DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat user guide and its included diagrams and tables.
If you are trying to stabilize a room, cabinet, or other space that overshoots with simple timers, using separate RUN/STOP thresholds helps reduce rapid cycling while still holding a target range.
Best suited for: Plug-in heating or cooling devices that can be controlled by an on-off outlet; users who want high/low temperature alarms in addition to automatic switching; setups where a handheld remote is more convenient than adjusting the outlet itself.
Consider alternatives if: You need control beyond the stated 100-240V AC and load ratings; you need continuous modulation instead of on-off switching.
Knowledge value: the remote refreshes its temperature reading every 20 seconds, so changes are not instant; and keeping a larger gap between RUN and STOP is the primary lever for avoiding short-cycling.
What’s in the Box
The official documentation shows the following components and labels for the system.
- Receiver (WTC100) – plug-in outlet that switches power to your connected device.
- Remote controller – handheld display and buttons used for pairing and settings.
- Receiver (WTC200) – variant shown with a Probe socket for an external sensor.
- Temperature probe (WTC200) – shown as a receiver with a 30inch NTC probe.
Safety Warnings
Operate the receiver only within the electrical limits stated in the specifications, and treat the receiver as a mains-powered switching device.
- Warning: Electrical shock and fire risk – use only on 100-240V AC circuits and do not exceed the stated load capacity.
- Warning: Overload risk – the load capacity is listed as 15A and up to 1650W@110VAC or 3300W@220VAC; connecting larger loads can overheat the receiver.
- Trip and moisture hazard – use the portable receiver and remote where the corded device and outlet can stay dry and stable.
Installation Instructions
Installation is plug-and-play: you power the receiver from a wall outlet, then let it switch a connected device based on the remote’s temperature logic.
- Plug the receiver into a wall outlet, then plug your heater or cooler into the receiver’s outlet so the receiver can control power to that device.
- If you are using the WTC200 variant, insert the probe into the receiver’s Probe socket so the temperature reading comes from the external sensor.
- Power on the remote by installing batteries, then pair the remote to the receiver so commands and temperature status are synchronized.
Tip: Pairing before fine-tuning settings prevents confusion about whether you are adjusting the correct receiver when multiple sets are in use.
How to Use DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat
To use the DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat, pair the remote to the receiver, choose heating or cooling mode, then set RUN/STOP thresholds so the receiver turns your connected device on and off around your desired temperature range.
DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat user guide controls
This section follows the same control names shown in the guide so you can match what you read on the LCD to the settings you change with the buttons.
Remote controller button map
The diagram labels the remote functions as:
- SET: “Short press SET to view” and “Long press SET to set”.
- Arrow keys: “Change number” and “Long press to switch high/low”.
- M: “Change mode”, “Short press M to switch signal”, and “Long press M to enter manual mode”.
LCD display icons and fields
The LCD diagram identifies these on-screen labels:
- Modes: “Cooling mode” and “Heating mode”.
- Status: “Working is off” and “Working is on”.
- Temperatures: “Current temperature”, “Run temperature”, and “Stop temperature”.
- Indicators: “Setting value”, “Low battery”, “High-High temperature alarm”, “Low-Low temperature alarm”, and “Delay Delay start protecting”.
Pair or repair the remote with the receiver
- On the receiver, press and hold the power button until the LED flashes, then release. This puts the receiver into pairing mode so it can accept a remote.
- On the remote, press M to pair. This binds the remote to that receiver so temperature logic and commands control the correct outlet.
- To clear pairing memory on the receiver, press and hold the receiver power button until the LED flashes 5 times, then flash 2 times quickly before releasing. Re-run the pairing steps afterward.
Note: The documentation notes that one remote can control multiple receivers, which is why clearing memory matters when you are reassigning a receiver.
Choose temperature unit
Hold the up-arrow button for about 3 seconds to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Aligning units first prevents accidental over- or under-shoot when you later enter numeric thresholds.
Set cooling mode thresholds
Cooling mode turns your cooling device on when the space gets too warm, then turns it off after the temperature drops to your stop point.
- Use M to select cooling so the LCD shows the COOLING symbol.
- Set RUN higher than STOP. This creates an upper trigger (start cooling) and a lower trigger (stop cooling), which reduces rapid on-off cycling.
- When the CURRENT temperature is higher than RUN, the cooling operation starts, the relay outputs, and the receiver green light turns on.
- When the CURRENT temperature drops below STOP, the cooling operation stops and the receiver green light turns off.
Set heating mode thresholds
Heating mode turns your heating device on when the space gets too cold, then turns it off after the temperature rises to your stop point.
- Use M to select heating so the LCD shows the HEATING symbol.
- Set RUN lower than STOP. This creates a lower trigger (start heating) and an upper trigger (stop heating) without constant cycling near one number.
- When the CURRENT temperature is lower than RUN, the heating operation starts and the receiver green light turns on.
- When the CURRENT temperature rises to the STOP value, the heating operation stops and the receiver green light turns off.
Adjust settings with SET
Long-press SET until the corresponding value flashes and the setting icon appears, then use the arrow keys to change values and SET to move through items. The flashing indicator is your confirmation that you are editing stored control values, not just viewing live temperature.
- Long-press SET to enter the setting state and make a value flash.
- Press the arrow keys to change the number; long-press an arrow to change continuously.
- Short-press SET to move to the next value, or long-press SET to save and exit.
- If there is no key input for about 30 seconds, the controller saves and exits automatically.
High and low temperature alarms
High and low alarms add an audible alert when the CURRENT temperature goes above your high value or below your low value, without changing how the receiver switches power.
When an alarm triggers, the remote alarms and the HIGH/LOW symbol flashes. Press any key to stop the sound; the symbol continues until the temperature returns to range or you change the set value.
The alarms are turned off by default. To enable them, navigate to the High/Low page with SET, then press and hold SET for about 3 seconds and use the arrow keys to set values. To disable, repeat and set the value to OF when shown.
Delay function for compressor protection
The delay function is intended to prevent a compressor from restarting too soon after shutdown. When delay is active, the display flashes “Delay” during the waiting time, then resumes normal display when switching can begin again.
Manual on/off override
Manual mode lets you force the receiver on or off without waiting for thresholds, which is useful for quick testing or temporary override.
- Press and hold M for about 3 seconds to enter manual mode.
- Short-press M to turn the receiver on or off (the display icon changes).
- Long-press M to return to the normal control function.
Note: The receiver also supports a short press on its own button to turn on/off loading until it receives a command from the transmitter.
Expert Tips
These tips translate the manual’s behavior notes into practical setup choices.
- Give readings time to settle: because the remote updates every 20 seconds, the first few minutes can look unstable. Waiting about 5 minutes helps you set thresholds based on a stable value.
- Prevent frequent cycling by widening the gap between RUN and STOP. The manual explicitly links rapid start/stop to a too-small difference.
- Use delay protection for compressor-driven coolers. The flashing “Delay” indicator is a sign the controller is protecting the equipment, not failing to switch.

Troubleshooting
Start by confirming pairing, mode, and threshold spacing, because most issues come from control logic rather than a failed outlet.
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Current temperature looks incorrect | The remote refreshes every 20 seconds and initial readings can drift. | Wait about 5 minutes for the measurement to stabilize, then reassess. |
| Temperature reaches RUN but the receiver does not power on | The remote and receiver are not paired. | Re-pair the remote with the device using the receiver LED flashing method. |
| Heater/cooler starts and stops too frequently | The difference between RUN and STOP is too small. | Increase the gap between RUN and STOP to reduce cycling. |
| LCD shows Er | The probe socket is open (for probe-based models). | Insert the probe fully into the receiver’s Probe socket. |
| LCD shows HH or LL | The measured temperature is outside the measurement range. | Move the sensor to a range within -10C to 80C (14F to 176F) or verify the environment is within range. |
| *Remote will not respond after battery change | Batteries are inserted in the wrong direction or are depleted. | Install 2 AAA batteries in the correct polarity and replace if the low-battery icon remains. |
| *Alarm keeps flashing after you silence it | The temperature is still outside the High/Low alarm range. | Adjust the High/Low set values or wait until the CURRENT temperature returns to the alarm range. |
Note: Rows marked with * are general guidance based on documented setup steps, not manufacturer-stated fixes. For unresolved issues, contact the after-sales support channel referenced in the official product documentation.
Next Steps
If you have completed pairing and set stable RUN/STOP thresholds, monitor one full heating or cooling cycle to confirm the receiver switches as expected and the “Delay” indicator behaves normally for your equipment.

How do I pair the DIGITEN WTC100 thermostat remote to the receiver?
Hold the receiver power button until its LED flashes, then press M on the remote to bind them. Pairing matters because the outlet will not follow RUN/STOP switching commands until the receiver recognizes the remote.
Why does my heater or cooler keep turning on and off?
A small difference between RUN and STOP can cause frequent cycling. Increase the gap so the temperature has room to move before the receiver switches again.
What does the Delay indicator mean on the display?
Delay is a protective waiting period intended for compressor equipment that should not restart immediately after shutting off. While Delay flashes, the controller is intentionally waiting; it will resume normal switching when the delay time ends.
How do I set high and low temperature alarms?
Use SET to navigate to the High/Low pages, then press and hold SET and adjust values with the arrow keys. The alarms are separate from heating/cooling control, so they notify you of out-of-range temperature even if your device is already switching correctly.
