In case you missed the meeting when we demonstrated just how easy it is to build your own temperature controller you’re in luck! Dual stage means heat and cool- so you can control fermentation chambers, heat wraps/ pads, and a host of other applications where you need to turn off/on components based on temperature.
You can download a PDF of the below instructions HERE
THIS is a good video showing just how easy it is to build (many more available on YouTube)
This controller is great for fermentation
You will need:
- STC 1000 controller 110v dual stage
- Power outlet
- Power cord (three wire)
- Extra wire
- Enclosure / cover
Be sure to break off tab on outlet’s hot side, do not break off tab on neutral side.
Controller settings: (press and hold (S) button until display flashes- be sure to hit Power (P) to save settings)
- F1- Target Temp (in Celsius)
- F2- Temperature variation before controller turns on (default 0.3 C)
- F3- Compressor delay- Amount of time before controller will turn on again. This is so the power doesn’t shut on/ off continually with small temperature fluctuations (helps save Fridge/ freezer compressors)
- F4- Temperature calibration
