You might find THIS discussion worth while and the following link is a wire diagram for the STC 1000 http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...st&id=41054

Hey Phillip - just press stop on your browser before the page redirects you. The original page is still there, but it tries to redirect you to a page that doesn't exist...

Just having a read of the guides. doesn't seem as hard as I thought so I might have a go myself. I got my second controller in the mail last week, but it's still sitting in the box.

Just one question: what do you use to connect the wires to the terminals on the unit? Do you just strip the wire and are they held in with a plate or screw setup? Do they need to be soldered?

You just need one of those little flathead jewelers' screwdrivers. A lot of $2 Shops have a whole set of them for, well two bucks.

Cut and strip the wires with 10mm of copper and then twist the copper into a tight coil, and fold it back on itself - then poke 5mm in the hole and screw it down tight. Tug on it (the wire) lightly to test it is all good.

When you're all done, give the wired STC to anyone with half a brain - and hand them the wiring diagram. Don't tell them anything, just ask them to compare both. Sometimes you don't see the bottle opener in the drawer, even though it's there, and someone else picks it right up..

i got my stc-1000 back as it became a too hard basket for someone but speaking with a fridgie yesterday. he gave me the impression that this should be wired in to replace the existing thermostat? but i dont understand why or if it should as the uni controls the temp and not the fridges thermostat. or am i ass about face here?

I don't know a lot about fridge thermostat, but I would think it *could* be wired in to replace the existing thermostat.

Whether it should be is a different question.

No need, the probe will regulate when the fridge turn on and off, the probe effectivly becomes the fridge thermostat. just plug the fridge into the STC1000, attach probe to side of fermenter and come back in a week.

Your housing for the unit must be almost as big as your fridge!!!

 

[gravey]

wire is bendy bro you can fold it up, I spread everything out for the photo - here it is installed in the jiffy box

got a bit scratched on one side as I forgot to put some cardboard down on the ground when I was filing out the holes
