STC 1000

[pcmfisher]

Are you speaking from experience here? Or just making me feel good??

Well, actually I was also doing camembert when mine went haywire, so you could say its from experience.

Tried that when I got home from work and it fixed it. And yes the cheese seems fine.
Crisis averted.

Thanks

Yes, that reminds me when I used to drive a truck for a bloke with a reasonable sized fleet.

When you reported something wrong with the truck he would park it in the yard next to some good ones and it would "heal up"

True story :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just finished my stc build, no box just freestanding basic, may box it one day but not too concerned. All cables are furroled as I borrowed the crimpers and furrols from work. Cable tied the cables together and the cable tied that to the unit so they won't pull out or have any pressure on it.

All earths are solder joined.

It lives on the fridge, out of the way and will be basically set & forget.

Setup the diffence to 1c at the moment just to trial, iv seen some members have it too .3

Sensor inside a pocket that is a stubby holder cut down and duck taped to the side to insulate it at about the 15l mark.

does anyone know if those stc's get hot when placed in a jiffy box? was wondering would i need to drill a few holes for ventilation???

 

[Amber Fluid]

No need for vent holes Ned... it'll be fine.

You don't need vent holes Ned....but if you are anything like me you'll f*#ck it up and end up with extra holes anyway :blink:

Also, the cockoroaches will make it their home.

:unsure: Sorry M3tal but I really don't like this setup and not that you really care if I do or don't, I'm just saying for less than $8 you can make 10000% improvement and have piece of mind. :unsure: I never needed insurance for my car until I had an accident :unsure:

There used to be a bloke called LethalCorpse that would have a bit to say on this build.

 

[Cocko]

Its only exposed 240v 10a... Surely that cant kill you :blink:

Seriously, WTF are some people thinking when they are toying with electricity..... **** me.

Even worse to post it and make any new user/readers who find the post think it is ok to do that.

Bad form all round m3taL.

2v.

 

[Edgebrew]

I agree that it needs to be in a case. I am building one as well. I am adding in a din rail to mount a breaker and cooling side contractor too. I don't really trust the Chinese relays. I'll post pics soon.

Just because everyone else has annoyingly quoted without removing the photos, I though I'd do it too - just to make this page really, really long.

Personally - I think it's up to the individual to decide what is and what isn't safe for them and theirs. It's the social anarchist in me.

Double post. Ignore.

yeah, but that's assuming the uneducated are capable of making that decision.

People don't injure themselves by deciding they can't do something....they injure themselves because they assume they can.

Personally - I think this is almost as ridiculous as posting pictures of a temp controller wrapped in insulation tape. Its just the responsible side of me.

 

[dicko]

Here is the go Nick :lol:






This would be OK... wouldn't it??

 

[Nick JD]

M3tal has the right to decide what is, and what is not safe for himself.

The irony is delicious on a website dedicated to making insane amounts of tax-free booze, the clear overconsumption of which will take years off the lives of the forum members and cost the tax payer millions.

But yeah, let's decide what's safe for others', hey?

 

[dicko]

How dare you speak to a PRO MEMBER like that, Nick.
