need to know whats the correct way to hook a contactor up. if it was hooked up backwards, will it be fine? A & B = From Line 1 and 2 C = Switch or SSR? E & D = To the Elements F = Switch or SSR?

i just hooked up my potentiometer just to see how good it will be for the boil kettle and works great. now im gonna hook everything up soon.

Just to make sure its wired right. A & B = From Line 1 and 2 C = Switch or SSR ? E & D = To the Elements F = Switch or SSR?

I bought a diy still dragon controller and I'm going to hook it up to the element side of the picobrew. This will give the option to controlled my boil manually. Just toying around with ideas

Nice. That link helped me big time

So is auberins the place to source it from? Any place cheaper? And it has to be 2 pole, correct? How's this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-FREE-SHIPPING-Contactor-30A-2-Poles-240V-/171063744814?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d431992e

1.5 pole vs 2 pole doesn't matter? Cause I only noticed it after I ordered

Is this a correct contactor? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221401057982http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMVgxNjAw/z/AWwAAOxyUI1TJxin/$_1.JPG

AWSOME! thanks for the diagram. ill be documenting as i build.

the good thing is i got most of the parts already.

Perfect. Getting parts tomorrow. Sucks cause have 2 120v contractors. Why do i see some builds use 120v contactors but this one uses 240v? just trying to understand it better. Saw it from another build and thought that was needed. Thanks for the revised diagram. Visual helped and was...

1- is NO. 9 & 10 on the PID correct or is it backwards? 2- then i dont need a seperate 120v line for the pumps, correct? i can just tap into the main 240v? 3- where should i ground it to if i only have a 3 wire outlet? *This is the original version of a plan i modified: Then P-J...

i modified the plan i copied from above. Hoping this is correct 1- Is a Contactor needed for the SSVR? 2- Is the PID Power and SSR hooked up correctly? 3- I will be running a seperate line for the pumps since its only a 3 wire 240 v. can i share 1 hot and ground and run a seperate...

adding a few links for my own references https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/critique-my-diy-still-dragon-controller-build-465428/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/simple-ssvr-controlled-e-biab-rig-443594/ https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/pwm-show-us-how-221301/...

how would you go about modifying this plan to add the pwm and ssvr on the BK side? i dont have the 4 wire installed, only 3. what should i do w/ the neutral? im gonna go with single elements each for now, since im only doing 10 gal. but making room in the box to add when needed.

i ordered the DIY kit from stilldragon, and ill use the parts from that to blend with my pid.

Thanks for the positive reply. Ive built a rims tube controller that worked well but it used 120v. I just started using 240v and my brewday is a lot quicker

will this potentometer work for the boil kettle? http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-NEW-WTH118-1A-2W-470K-470k-ohm-Rotary-Taper-Potentiometer-2watt-/351021041266?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51ba7c0672

Ive started buying the basic parts for my electric controller. -auber 2325 -rtd temp probe -2 40a SSR -2 120v contacter? I plan to use 2 5500w elements in each HLT and BK. HLT controlled by PID BK controlled by PWM 2 pump outlets 3 way selector switch so that only one vessel can be controlled...

What about dual element per vessel? Should I put a switch before each element or can I use 1 switch per 2 at what amp switch?
