Thanks you've been extremely helpful. It looks like that diagram is still the old way where the ssr is in the wrong spot but I see the changes I ned to make. Thanks again I can't wait to get my first brew in and post some pictures

Gotcha. By the little electrical that I know, I can just jump the neutral between all the switches, alarm and PID instead of going back to terminal block correct? Or does the PID have to be separate? On second thought can I jump the hot leg as well (#23 on the switches for element and main...

so i can get away with using these switches??? volt or someone, would you be able to update the diagram to reflect these changes to clear it up for me?

It's ok I rather do it the right way, I'll try to get module exchanged worst case I'll order another pushbutton oh well price you pay for exploring new territories! Thanks guys

Makes sense, that's what your pictures look like, thanks. For the illum switches it looks like all of them have a jumper from 24 to X2, correct?

So I just realized I ordered the SW11 (1 NO 1 NC) switches instead of the SW1 (2 NO) from auberins and PJ uses the SW1 in his diagrams. I tried looking up what the difference is and have a hard time understanding. I'm guessing I have to try and exchange these or can I use the 1NO 1NC that I...

Voltin I'm finally wiring up my panel and I'm alittle confused right from the start! In your pictures (below) you have both hot legs from inlet going to the 240v coil. Then from the 240v coil you have both hot legs going to 120v coil. From there you have one (red) hot leg going to element...

Sure, your opinion and you can do whatever you want :) Staying away from the meters, do I need 2 alarms like you illustrated there or can I somehow get away with the 1 alarm (already laid out and made holes in the panel). I do have a button that "silences" the alarm for achieving temp, does...

PJ will this diagram be what I'm looking for as well in terms of the timer? My post: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/wiring-diagram-help-393115/

Is there any comments at least if I can just take kal's instructions for the meters and throw them into my setup? And thoughts on how to wire the auber timer and alarm with voltins system?

is that considered "safe" or should we be tripping the breaker/gfci?

I'm looking for some wiring diagram modifications from an existing build to some additions I made. I can try and peice it together but it would be reassuring with a wiring diagram by PJ or someone else that does them? This is what I need it for: I got the spa panel hooked up, 10/4 wire...

That's what I did. Ran 10/3 dryer wire from main panel to a dryer outlet /box where my brew stand is. Then installed spa panel by outlet (actually over top of the box and hard wired to spa panel). Then use that dryer cord and cut the head off to make cord from spa to control panel. Just make...

That's confusing, then why would a 10/3 dryer wire from home depot have 4 wires? And voltin's wiring diagram in the build I linked shows the same, 4 wires coming out of the spa panel?

ok I don't want to burn another gfci breaker when it comes in :(

and I'm using a 4 prong outlet going to my control panel because I'm following this build: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/yet-another-ebiab-build-282235/

4 wires(4 prong dryer recepticle) coming into the spa panel(2 hot -red and black, neutral white, and bare copper ground) and 4 going out(red and back, neutral white and green ground), why am I not allowed to do that? i just followed this:

I just went through this exact process, the only thing that looks off (and maybe you just said it backwards) but the last part: Depending how you mount your heat element, but lets assume you're doing it the same as this build or kal's method, the flanged outlet locking recep will be in your...

ya I have a 10/3 dryer wire (which is actually 10/4, 3 wires + ground) coming in the center of the panel and then 4 wires going out to the plug which will then be going to the control panel.

Called ge they are sending a replacement.
