yeah i have been looking at those a little bit. I am going to search a little more as i am looking for something that reads F and is a little larger. Many of these are tiny. I am hoping for something that i can read as i walk across the garage from the fermentation chamber. We will see.... maybe ill end up with something similar to one of these.

Thanks for the image link!

also, I am going to do the heat, cool, fan with a relay and self contain the whole thing in a project box, the fourth outlet I will make always hot for an extra power outlet for my grain mill etc..... does this wiring diagram which I modified make sense?



I want to make sure I have this right before I begin building

thanks

I'm no expert, but I'd shy away from using a wire nut for that many connections. A small terminal block would probably be a lot more safe/reliable and maybe $2 more.

The relay enables the fan to come on when either the heating or cooling circuit is activated

7-8 is the coil and energized with heating comes on. Pin 1 is the Normally Closed contact (NC), pin 2 is the common, and pin 3 is the Normally Open contact (NO).

1. when both heating and cooling are off, the fan is off.
2. When cooling comes on, the contact between 1 and 2 are closed and the fan turns on.
3. When the heating comes on, the coil is engergized, the NC contact opens and the NO contact closes and the fan comes on.

I soldered mine together, then used a wire nut.

I know, I'm a dangerous man when I get my soldering iron in hand.
