I used 18 gauge on mine, but I didnt add any wires. I just removed and replaced the stock thermostat.
AMy question though is I'm not able to really find a 2 stage Fahrenheit controller (Yes I know I could just get Celsius, No I'm just lazy and don't want to print a chart). All the links posted recently are dead and eBay seems to only have 1 stage stc-1000's.
It can be used to control a contactor, relay, or SSR that is rated to carry the current demanded by the element. The controller is only rated for 10amps Max.With me being lazy and not wanting to search through this whole thread, does anyone know if this temp controller could also be used for a heating element in a HERMS?
Hi guys, I just got an STC-100 and I need a real clear picture of how the wiring goes. I'm not a good electrician, but I can follow a white wire to where it goes and a black wire to where it goes. I know where ground goes.
I'm only going to be using the cooling part of the STC-1000 so I only need to see how that would be wired. I've looked at all the diagrams and pictures here, but am still confused.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks itme. That was very helpful. I printed it out and did my timer in about 30 minutes. I'm now up and running.
Thanks.
Hullo smart folks. I just picked up my chest freezer on Craiglist and now I'm on my way to kegging my beer. Next task: temp control.
Can anyone confirm that this temp controller on eBay will do the trick?
I understand it only has one relay but I'm not looking to run a fermentation chamber or anything - just my keezer. Thanks for your help!
I'd guess AL and AH are the settings for a Low Temperature Alarm and a High Temperature Alarm, respectively.
fwiw, there is no such thing as a "single stage STC controller".
You have some other unit, perhaps a WillHi, maybe an MH1210, but it's definitely not an "STC-1000"...
Cheers!
Yep, I have one that's nearly identical to that controlling my keezer, and it works great. The wiring is a bit different than the STC-1000.
My finished build...Left socket is for Heat(bottom) and Cool(top), Right socket is always hot. Added a power switch with fuse and a plug-in socket, a jack for temp probe so I could disconnect both for easy storage and movement, LEDs as well.
Thanks! It plugs into a wall socket... The A/C cord is not shown. Its a standard computer power cord that plugs into the unit. I wanted it to be fused and also be able to remove the power cord and temp. probe when needed. The power switch is fused. The small connector on the back is for the temp. probe.Nice build!! I'm going to redo mine in the near future. My first one works, but it looks pretty rough. I love the switch and jack for the temp probe. It all looks VERY clean. I like the idea for an always hot outlet as well. That could be quite handy. Nice job! I'll be redoing mine just like yours.
Edit: What power supply are you usin?

Wait a minute?!? You use a wall socket?!?!? That just sounds crazy!
It looks like it would fit the standard computer cord, but I wasn't sure. I love the clean look with everything able to unplug from the unit. Again, nice job!! I'll be doing something very similar.
The temperature control unit is 110V so yes it plugs into the a socket just like a refrigerator does.

Oh... sorry...when I saw this on your post "Edit: What power supply are you usin?" I thought maybe you were thinking it was powered by 12V or other supply..my bad...
Post pictures when you build a new one...
