For commercial purposes, you're right. If the device is going to be sold, or used in a commercial environment (any workplace), it needs to be done by an electrician. For personal use, though, only QLD has legislation preventing it. No, I'm not a lawyer, and again, this doesn't constitute...

Yep, perfectly legal modification for anyone outside QLD to do. The difference between what you did, and what other folks are doing with their tempmates, etc, is nil. Yours came supplied with the connectors, and was cheaper - good for you. Still the same wiring procedure though - just because...

It's only illegal to perform work on non-fixed 240V appliances in Queensland. Everywhere else, it's perfectly legal. If you do it wrong, and start a fire, you'll probably be charged under reckless endangerment and the like, but there isn't a law that specifically prohibits doing your own wiring...

Go to Jaycar and buy this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. If you can solder you should also buy this and this for connecting the sensor cable to the unit, otherwise just get this to pass the cable through. The tool will handle the stripping of the wires (both the outer and...

Show us the instructions

Depends a fair bit on the internal design of the pump. "thermal protection" refers to the motor, not the pump - it means that if the motor exceeds the rated temp a thermostat will cut the power. You may be able to quite happily pump boiling liquid through the impeller housing without the motor...

WTF does thermally protected mean?

Are you selling this, or just, for some reason, excited that there's a pump there? Either way, knock it off. EDIT: coming from your town, so I'm going to assume it's yours. The listing says "thermally protected to pump hot liquids". This doesn't mean anything. What is the temperature rating of...

er....What do they do with a coolroom in and old-age home... :icon_vomit:

Batz is one, he should be able to take care of it for you

Erm...I'd strongly advise against posting your mobile phone number in a public forum. ID thieves and spammers love that kinda thing. Perhaps send a PM to one of the moderators asking them to change it for you (this, by the way, is yet another reason why the half hour editing window is ridiculous).

Adobe Creative Suite 4. Contains Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and a bunch of others. It's a bit like Microsoft office, except for creativity instead of productivity

Or soldered joins in your cables. All cables should be stripped and terminated inside screw terminals or on spades. If you must join cables standalone, they should be in BP connectors

teehee

*sigh*. Refer to my sig.

Read the post immediately above yours, errant. It explains the problem and the solution.

? Rob has just served to indicate how it's possible to believe you've wired it up correctly, and still have something which can set fire to your nuts. Active goes to terminal two and terminal 11. Active supply to fridge comes from terminal one. Neutral to fridge comes from mains neutral...

Could be blown relay contacts, but if you can hear it clicking, far more likely that the wiring is wrong - you're sure you've wired it according to the instructions, but the instructions could even be wrong. Take a few photos and post them up, along with the aforementioned instructions to see if...

Oops, yes quite right. The active supply to the middle relay contact should come from the main inlet, not the fridgemate

Nope, you're spot on - it would always be either heating or cooling. To do anything else you'd either need a smarter controller or two controllers set at slightly different setpoints. I'm not sure what the tempmate uses - whether it has a hysteresis band where neither is cut in, or whether it...
