Setting up the mini temperature controller??

[xjncoguyx]

Just got myself a beast of a chest freezer for free off of CL.

anyways i am planning on setting it up as a fermentation chamber with the stc-1000 temp controller. Im pretty sure i have the wiring correct in my mind, here is what im planning on doing.

Does it look correct?

Yep, that's a good circuit. You can jumper the negative to the controller from the outlet, and remember to break the bridge off on the positive side!

sweet, i talked to my buddy(who's an electrician) finally and he said it looks fine. He was a little confused by the 220v. I told him not to worry it's just diagram for EU. Yeah i will probably break the tab for positive and leave the neutral and just hook up the neutral to one post. Hooray! Now just to wait for the temp controller.

I'll be sure to post up pics when its all done.

your diagram shows a 220vac and your connecting 120vac sure you got the right controler

I know that, i just explained that's the diagram from the EU ones. The US ones are 110v

God I can't wait to build one of these. I'm in a 2BR condo, but my parents just bought a new house with a huge basement that will serve as my brewery, father's workshop, and our mantown.

Just found a chest freezer free on CL also... looking into temp controllers. Man, there's tons on ebay. Looking for a new one not used, but any recommendations?

From what it seems like a lot of people are using these.

I've only found them on ebay though.

just watch, some of the ebay ones are 220v only. some of the sellers have both and though they picture the 220v one they will send the 110v when ordering from the us. i think mine came from quality_link, or something like that.
