How hard is it to wire a Ranco temperature controller?

[MattHollingsworth]

Anybody know? Does it come with all the wires you need and such? How easy is it to do?

Its pretty easy. You just need an extension cord and a small piece of wire to use as a jumper.

Here is a wiring diagram I found on HBT when I was wiring mine.

Good diagram. It's not difficult. you should be relatively comfortable around wiring something simple like an outlet or light switch. (which is basically what you're doing)

Yeah, I've put lightswitches and dimmers in,but that's about it. So it's no worse than that, eh?

Reason I ask is Ranco is REALLY bad at answering e-mail and i need mine wired for 240 v, not 110/120. Figure it might be easier to just order the damned thing and wire it myself. And cheaper.
