temp controller queston

Tue Jul 15, 2008 3:37 am

Can these be used to just give a temp reading. I am building a scuplture and need two thermometers. I will not be automating the set up at this time but would like to have that option later. With the cost of inline thermometers I thought this might be a good investment for future use. How would I wire this? Where is the cheapest place to get these? thanks for your time.

That device looks pretty cool. I also found a device that I am currently testing. you can find it here http://auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=14 I think it works well and it is easy to wire. I just ordered the solid state relays from them with an additional PID to try and finish my long awaited automated temp control.
Prost!

Yes, you don't have to connect it to a load, it should just provide a reading of the temp at the probe.

I have one of these controllers that I use for fermentation temp - a ghetto setup with my carboy in one cooler with a pond pump circulating water through my immersion chiller sitting in a 2nd cooler with ice bottles. Works great.
