dual mode STC 1000 in *F

Does anyone have a link to or know of a STC-1000 that displays in degrees Fahrenheit and also controls both heating and cooling.

The one I have said "heating and cooling" but it is heating "or" cooling.
I am also open to other controllers if anyone has used something similar and has had good results.

Thanks!

STC-1000 no. Auberins' SYL-1512A yes (http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=14)

That said, my STC-1000 does both. If it is under the set point, the heater kicks on, over set point the cooler. But only in C. Which isn't a big deal for me. This is the link from where I bought it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0084Y8HJK/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Bought one off ebay for under 20 that is almost identical to the STC. Runs both Hot and cold and shows the temp in "F"

That one is a cool OR heat model.

Yup, that's a single stage MH1210. I have one running my keezer.
Not what was requested.

The Auber that was linked would do the job. So would a Love TSS2-2100 - at twice the price of the Auber...

Cheers!

Ahh okay..should of read the entire post. Just saw the "displays in degrees Fahrenheit" part.

Yeah one OR the other, but not both at the same time!

Linky no worky

https://www.google.com/#q=convert+c+to+f This one does work. For some reason unless you spend a small fortune on a controller, readouts in F are pricey. OTOH, the STC-1000 works great. To convert from C to F, is really no big deal, above is a working link. After you converet a couple of times, the temps in C will on your mind automatically

I'm in the same boat. I just bought two of these, thinking I'd use one for the keg side and one for the fermentation side of the 'fermen-keezer' side-by-side fridge conversion I'm doing. The fermentation side needs to have both heat and cooling, with automatic switching from heat to cool, but these devices only have a single relay.

I'm searching for another alternatives and will let you know if I find something. It will soon be spring in Atlanta and I won't need to worry about the heating side til late this fall. If I haven't found something by then, I'll probably go with the STC-1000 in C.

Meanwhile, I'm considering wiring the output of the single relay using something like this, and just do a manual switch from heat to cooling and back.

Let me know if you have a better idea.

Easiest fix... print out a chart with Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion...I printed onto large label paper and stuck that onto Stc box/fridge.

Has anyone had any experience with this controller?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-PID-FC-Digital-Temperature-Control-Thermocouple-REXC100-K-Sensor-Probe-/310788559265

No experience with that particular one. But the specs say relay control versus SSR control. That could be fine for your purposes, but I think maybe not for those that would use it with an SSR. I don't necessarily know the difference, but most of the sites selling controls make a clear distinction, so there must be something to it.

This PID is OK especially for it's price. You can set main output to control heating and Alarm output to control cooling ( though you need to set couple degree hysteresis since there is no delayed start ).but It's shows only Celsius as well.

The fact that it reads in celcius is a minor issue. I printed up a fahrenheit to celcius conversion table and taped it to the side of the controller.

Output type is critical:

• Relay output is effectively a pair of switch contacts opening and closing
• SSR output is a low voltage drive (14v for Omega)
• variable current output (0-40ma for Omega)
