Control Panel Help

I am in the process of building a new RIMS system, and I am coming to the point where I am ready to design and wire the control panel. Up to this point I have been able to do fairly well on my own (building the gas mani, propane regulation etc.) with a little help from the forum, but when it comes to the wiring process I am WAY over my head. I know this topic has been beaten to death, but after reading "RIMS for dummies", I feel like even more of a dummy than before I read it! Here is what I am looking for :

main switch to turn entire panel ON/OFF
lights to show pumps/element/panel ON/OFF
Temp controller for HLT with alarm
PID control for heater element for RIMS tube
ON/OFF control for march pumps
Timer for mash,boil,hop additions, etc

I know it may seem like a fairly easy build to the electrically savvy, but I need all the help I can get.

Ok I hate to be that guy, but I would recommend searching

P-J has likely already created that diagram, just a matter of finding it. Find one of this diagrams, goto the root address and start clicking on the others images till you find the layout your looking for.

Squeeky Do you have a sample of this root? I searched out P-J's post with a diagram and then landed on his web page but didn't get to the diagram vault.....

Help pls

So sorry. I had several people do raids on my image folders. I had to increase the security level of my site.

Is it your other images you're worried about? You could easily create an online album somewhere else if you wanted to share the diagrams. www.imgur.com is an easy one with album capabilities.

Ahhhh that explains why I didn't get into that vault-o-vast knowledge!!

What sort of diagram are you looking for?
Perhaps I can help you.

Rion & I are in contact via PM. We'll sort it out and post results here.

I was just trying to look at different diagrams, none in particular.
But thanks for the offer.

Was just saying if you were wanting to let people browse your images without having to open up root directory, that's one way to do it.

Look at the post above yours ^^^

It is a forum search for key words that I use whenever I post a diagram on this forum.

The link to your search didn't work for me when I tried just now, what I did when I was looking was search:
(As always, click on the image for a full scale diagram printable on Tabloid paper 11" x 17")
I don't know if this will find them all or not but i found what I was looking for (thank you very, very P-J) and was able to adapt it to my need.

Wow. I guess it only worked for as long as I was logged in. Once I logged out it seems the parameters were lost?

You are correct in the search argument you posted. Or just do a short query with printable on Tabloid paper as the search argument.

Thanks for your post. It's appreciated.

Rion,

I finished your diagram today and hope it fits your needs.

Please see if this diagram will work for you. I just finished drawing it. Most all of the switches are from Auber Instruments.

As always, click on the image for a full scale diagram printable on Tabloid paper (11" x 17")




Wishing you the best,
