Wow. FNG mistake replying to a question from 2016 on the first page of this thread. And it's my first post on this forum. Ugh. Lookin' real new here right now.... FML.

Uh... nice keezer man. Wish I hadn't fried my little Inkbird out of the box when I got it necessitating a run to the local HBS for an overpriced model.

Finally found a good deal through sears on this model so ordered it and the STC-1000. Your picture of wiring it up confused me a little bit so I figured I would post the wiring diagram I am going to use and get your opinion or anyone else's on it. Obviously by being confused would represent my limited background in electricity.

I am just unsure of your jumper on what I am seeing on the neutral (maybe picture is deceiving for where the wire is actually coming from) and also the double wires that are put inside the STC power side. Figured it was safer to ask then be sorry and show a diagram I plan on using.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

To be honest I am not at all the right person to answer the electrical wiring questions. I tried to wire it up as I thought I saw on the forum. However someone commented earlier that I didn't wire it up incorrectly.

I attempted to put the controller in line with the factory power cord from the freezer. The freezer seems to work fine and the controller does its job properly so maybe I just got lucky?

I would definitely read the threads on how to wire it up and follow those methods rather than how I did it.

Good diagram, add a listing of terminals so people know which are power and which are relay to help the non-electronic people out.

1-2 Power
3-4 Temperature sensor
5-6 heat relay(if used)
7-8 cool relay
