Stc-1000 Question

[Charles2804]

I,ve put

F1 to 3.5c (for ale at 10psi)
F2 to 1c
F3 to 7min
F4 to 0

is that ok??

And one thing during the delay time my light in my fridge doesnt work, is that normal?? Is just like if the power was cut off during 7min?!?

does the light work if it is not in the delay time but the compressor isnt running? So say like 8 minutes or whatever after the last cycle on?

Other than that, It looks fine to me. I cant remember what F4 does?

 

[Charles2804]

the light works, but only when the compressor is running....it takes exactly 7min between the cylcle (I just plug the fridge and its coolling down actually)

If the fridge is plugged into an external STC1000 controller, I would think that's normal. To put it another way, is there any other power being provided to the fridge besides through the STC1000 controller?

 

[Charles2804]

Yes its pulgged in an external stc controler and no other source of power....
Ok I Just read that it's normal the stc cut the power during the delay time....


what about my delay time to long to short?

thanks!!

The only time your fridge will have any power for the light is when the controller has actively engaged the cooling relay, which is to say hardly ever. If you want the fridge light to work, you'll need to wire in a separate power supply for it.

I'd max the delay out at 10 min. The delay is a safety feature that prevents the fridge compressor from turning on if it was running recently, otherwise known as short cycling. Under normal operation the delay won't be engaged, so what it's set at doesn't really matter. If there's a problem and your compressor starts short cycling, it's probably best to have the maximum amount of protection against it getting fried.

Totally agree...
