DIY Temperature Controller

·

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

Wiring a Dual Stage STC 1000stc

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
