So my SCT1000 came yesterday and i want start wiring it up soon. I know exactly how to do it, seen online and the instructions spoon feed it to you.
I want to use it to mash as well, wanted a PID but that is outa reach for the time being so this will suffice in the meantime. it has a temp range of plus/minus 1 degree between -50-70 degrees C so thats fairly accurate, not 100% but close. Mainly for fermenters though :handgestures-thumbupleft:
One thing im wondering on is how i go about making it able to handle the power while heating up in mashing. I will use it with my power controller (on a low power setting) simultaniously when mashing so once its up to temp and switching on/off (or how it works) the power-in is small so it doesnt overshoot temps. But while its heating up i would like it on full power, then dial it back once at temp.
Ive seen somewhere in a pic that they had an SCR for the high power. Im wondering what this is needed for and how i would go about wiring it up. Saw it on a Big W page or something. Once again i will get it checked, by the inlaws elecy this time, not same mate as before. It will be good for me to know this too, im studying power engineering so this will be right up my alley one day
Heres the specs from the instruction sheet... and this is the link to ebay page
Safety first always :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Cheers
