I called beverage air and he said the starting amps could be as high as 20 or 25A. So I think I'll be brushing up on the external relay suggestion!

I'm not really sure but if I'd have to guess it's probably around 10 years old. I did buy one of those kilawatt meters and it was reading around 8.8A when the compressor kicked on. It then went down to 8.5A. That being said, it reads around once per second so I don't know the true peak I...

Sounds like the problem. Just need to know how to get some sort of dual stage. Def going to email inkbird as was suggested. I just checked my chest freezer and it says 5 amps. Makes sense why the itc-1000s control them just fine. But regarding the beverage cooler, still confused at why the...

Sounds good. Do you know where there is a write-up on how to do this?

I hear what you are saying and I agree. I just need to know if the new inkbird ITC-310t will work without blowing. From what I see between all the different controllers and the specs, I can't figure it out.

I generally only need them during fall and spring. Like right now it gets into the 50s at night and 80s during the day.

I can use the stc-1000 on my GE 7cf chest freezer as well with no issues. But when I connect it to my beverage cooler, it immediately blows the relay. The beverage cooler is the same as you see at convenience stores. Looks like this:

Here's the ranco relay specs

I was thinking that was the problem but I don't know enough about circuits to figure it out. What confuses me is my ranco seems to also have similar specs:

Lastly, I bought the ITC-301t from inkbird but aside from plugging it in and seeing what happens, maybe someone can tell me if it should work. The specs appear to be similar to the stc-1000 which is why I'm worried. Here are the specs from the ITC-310t:

Here's the specs for the stc-1000

I have a beverage cooler for fermentation temp control. I have wired up the stc-1000 dual stage temp controllers but I have literally blown 3 or 4 on them. They work fine on my 7cf chest freezer but as soon as I hook them up to the beverage cooler, it blows the relay. See the attached picture...

Just ordered 2. Order #11985. Is there an approximate ship date?

So in an effort of fairness, it looks like they have updated their website. It shows the correct wiring diagram. The wiring diagram download is now updated as well. It looks like version 1.2 was wrong but the 1.3 version is correct. I must have got their from an old link through my Google...

in. thanks.

Great thread. I just got a new Inkbird ITC-1000 and the 'wrong' wiring diagram is printed on the controller with the neutrals going to the wrong pin. I looked at their website and they still have it backwards (this was a PDF I downloaded from their website). So both the website and the actual...

The tap box is nothing special. I think I built it a bit too big but I designed it to match the width of the tap enclosure. I also left room for 1 inch foam board for insulation. Before installing the insulation, I put that heavy duty metallic duct tape on the inside first to insulation as...

Finding the shark bite was huge. Prior to that I was looking at having to either buy a $50 tool just to make one connection or use PVC which would have resulted in around 10 joints. Using the PEX pipe, I just used one continuous piece and bent the pipe as necessary to get down into my...

I never thought to check for any fire rating requirements. I looked through the North Carolina Fire Code and, while it not 100% clear to me, it looks like I am ok. My house classifies as an R-3 (definitely not Group I as that is hospitals, old folk homes, prisons, etc.). I do have a two story...
