Inside Your Control Panel

kosmokramer · Jun 28, 2012

I am ready to start wiring up my control panel with the help of one of PJ's great diagrams but having never actually seen someone's CP in person I still have some questions. Instead of asking I figure a picture is worth a thousand words. Can anybody and everybody post some pics of your panels with the emphasis being the interior and wiring.

Thanks!

My guess is this will be almost completely useless to you but what the hell!

It's changed a bit since this pic but good enough for the intent.

I'm just finishing up the wiring of a semi-Kal-clone, and haven't got the Spa panel installed yet, so it hasn't been tested, but the wiring's done.

Here's two of the inside, and one of the outside, to help match up switches

Note - the bottom row of switches that aren't wired on the door are to be able to turn the alarms on or off for the PIDS and Timer, and I'm just waiting to go "hot" before I finish wiring them.

Here's a couple shots of mine. It's completely amateur compared to those up there, though. Using an abundance of zip-ties and those sticky-pads make everything ballerstatus clean.

Think there were a few things left uninstalled at time of photos, but for the most part it was complete.

Great Start!!!! Thanks guys. I think these will help with layout as well as wiring. Keep em coming

We gas brewers have control panels too, not as fancy

That's a pretty sweet PLC unit for not being "fancy"

What a pile!

I'm sure it would take something at least that sophisticated to control my gas too.
