Yeah sorry I can't find a 110v version. I assumed there would be one on eBay.

modobrew said:I have a question for you guys. I want to use this controller to control an upright freezer converted to a kegerator. Is there anything I need to look into as far as timers go? I believe most freezer compressors have a cycle timer. Will this controller interfere with this cycle timer? Is there any special wiring that I made need to consider? I believe I read somewhere that this controller has a built in delay to account for these cycle timers. Is this correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Cheers!
Did you break the little tab that connects the two hot receptacles?
Wow. Ok...
I stopped by the hardware store to buy wire for wiring up my tripple controller. I asked the young lady helping me to cut 20' each of the stranded 14 ga wire in black, red, white, and green. I was thinking I would have plenty to do that I need with 20'... She said she didnt remember how to use the spooling/measuring machine but would just measure and cut it for me and have it up front waiting for me at checkout. I get home and take them out to put them up, and needed to recoil them into a neater coil. Turns out she cut me around 60' of each! I only got charged for 20' each though.
Has anyone done a wiring diagram for the single stage F controller. I'm confused by the 7 ports on it? I'm not the most knowledgeable with electrical wiring.
I was going to do one outlet always on and one controlling my kegerator.

If there is a built in compressor delay on your freezer I would just leave it be. There is nothing special wiring you have to worry about. The controller does have a built in delay that you can program. Most people max out the timer to ensure the compressor doesn't cycle often.
Just passing this along. This PDF really helped me in my build. The parts #s are all good as well.

Admittedly I have not gone through every page, but is there a shopping list of items to complete the project? I haven't done any wiring in the past, but it looks easy enough if I had all the right wires. I have the controller already, and wanted to do the simple 1 plug hot 1 plug cold setup.
coinhall09 said:Quick ? What gauge wire should I get ? Some one said no less than 12 gauge ?
revansCAAD8 said:I would say no less (smaller) than 14 gauge but I used 12/3 in my build.

Shoot. I missed this. I will when I get home. One of the temp probe terminals is shared with the other one. I assume I leave it, but am unsure. I can't find a good picture of it online.
hammis said:so now that my new system is built, i'm going to have some fun and build a cooled fermenter and control it with one of these temp controllers. i somehow lost the NTC probe, but i found this one on ebay which has the same specs and is stainless and threaded. so we'll see how that works out: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Water-Temperature-Sensor-fit-Honeywell-Thermostat-NTC-10K-Thermistor-/111003126322?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d84d4a32
The two I have are not labeled as Willhi's but they likely have a common source.
The relay is the exact same part as in my STC-1000 and is rated at 15A.
The single stage model can control temperature by either heating OR cooling, but not at the same time. Heat or Cool mode must be selected on the controller....I also have the CH54 single stage model with ONLY SEVEN terminals on the back. Has anyone developed a wiring diagram for this model? Every other one I've found has 8 terminals.
Would really appreciate the assistance if someone has properly wired this model and has a corresponding diagram!!!
Cheers,

Can anyone tell me how to attach a 15 amp (or should it be a 20 amp?) fuse to the incoming power line? I am assuming that it would be the black line - is this correct?
I put mine (15A breaker) between the service and the relay (black line, the pin 7 line above) because I wanted to protect the internal relay.
