Tempmate Question

[watertrade]

Hi Guys,


Hope you can help me with something. early last year I bought a craftbrewer tempmate from a local homebrew supply. I'm only now just trying it out I have been busy!

anyway, I have some time off work with the birth of my son. so what better time to finish some projects! :beerbang:

I'm having trouble setting up the tempmate ( now this could be my stupidity and lack of sleep)

I turn it on, using desk lights as the 'heating' and 'cooling' just to test it out.

set the desired temp. 30C
set the temp difference. 1C
then I press the set button again ( or let time out after 30 seconds) I get the -EE message. and nothing else...

nothing changes...

the amb temp is 25C.

I know the -EE message means the temperature sensor is open.

am I doing something wrong?

also, I didn't assemble the unit - it came assembled from the HB shop.

Try a quick read of the Craftbrewer Site http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=2592

Cut from site:
The meaning of the nixietube display
The nixietube usually shows temperature, if it shows EE, it means the temperature sensor is short, and -EE means the temperature sensor is open.

Hope you get it going.

thanks drew, I had read through the tempmate instructions and still couldn't figure it out.
