Just an update, contacted Auber and they are sending a replacement contactor to swap out and I will send back the sticker so they can cover it under warranty, great customer service so far!

Haha, no worries!! @passedpawn did you source everything yourself or buy the kit? Definitely looks like the Electric Brewery panel

Everything appears to be working as designed/intended, even the boil side appears to be working although the contactor is still buzzing, it is rated for 120v and I tested the coil as well and it was showing 120v

I figured I messed something up on the switch, I had daisy chained off the switch to the multimeter, but was on the wrong side of the switch, swapped it to the other side and it switched as designed, so #1 figured out... regarding the firing lamps, I need to run the lamp wiring off a different...

I got everything wired up last night/early this morning, had to stay up late to finish haha. Freaked out when it wouldn't turn on, but realized the breaker was off, oops... Got it to fire up and things appeared to be working, but have two problems: 1. The keyed switch doesn't turn the panel off...

@doug293cz Probably a stupid question, but are there any components that should have dedicated runs for wiring, off of the busses vs. daisy chaining? Hot vs. Neutral?

Day 1 in the books, feel like I made some really good progress today, even after running into a few hiccups. Waiting on a couple receptacles for the pumps, other than that, I just need to mount the internal components and start wiring it up!

I like the minimalist approach... I actually noticed the location difference of the contactors vs SSR's and was curious, glad you touched on that! I also considered a breaker in the panel, mainly because I thought it might be easier than having to go to my main breakers if something got...

I'm sure you are right about the reduced cost of that build for him, I like your schematic though as it does seem quite simple compared to a lot of other builds that I have seen.

Gotcha, no worries, I did see his videos and I was interested in his wiring video only to see that he got the control panel kit from The Electric Brewery haha.

So, I am finally getting around to building my control panel and installing my heating elements I ordered from @Bobby_M, thanks for the help on here guys!! Decided to go 30amp setup and using 2 DSPR320's and the SYL2802B. Auber order should be here today and I can start building the panel...

That small LED is actually kinda cool, subtle and doesn't take a lot of space on the panel

Understood, I guess that's why I was asking, because I have seen most of those and generally see the "element on" light typically but not an "enabled" light.

I get that part of the wiring diagram, I just meant more visually on the actual front door panel how these lights would look or where they would be put, if that makes sense.

Do you have a panel showing how you implemented both of these lights into the design?
