Stc 1000

[Griz]

If this is in the wrong place, please forgive me and move it to where it should be.
I got my temp controller today, I cut a 6 plug power bar and wired the controller,
Plug end of the wire to the power screws,
Sensor, to the 2 sensor screws
The 6 plug outlet part to the cooling screws.
I then programmed to 18.3 C. And it was reading 25.5 in my house. That roughly transfers to 65 and 74. The unit comes on after the 4 minute delay, but I can not get power out of the STC 1000. Everything is working and set but nothing is going past the unit. Any ideas? I checked YouTube for instructional video, ziltch. Help.
And as far as directions that came with it.... Not good at all.

Here's a wiring drawing Stadawhovious gave me on another board:

The orange cord on the left is power in, and the right side is what you plug the Wineador into.

The temp sensor goes in 3 and 4, and we ignore 5 and 6 since we're not hearing.

Hope that helps!

lilninja, WOW, that aint nothing like the direction said. In my mind, working with hvac I thought it should be something like that, but I was following directions... and I aint that good with hvac. Thanks man, I will go home tonite and give it a try. REALLY, THANK YOU.

This is beautiful. I was looking to get one of these. Where do you guys run the probe without ruining the seal on the wino?

Edit : Actually it looks like the probe can be disconnected from the unit so I can run it through the drain hole.

Correct, through the drain hole. Take a look on ebay, you can find them pretty cheap and with F*. They work great, I have about 4 of them, long story. haha

Any idea what guage wire I need to buy to wire this up?

The probe goes in the drain hole?
Are we talking wineadors or alien abduction?

Just use an old extension cord that you don't need, if none 14 gauge wire is fine.

Yes.

 

[StogieJim]

Ahh good call. I'll need to buy an extension cord anyways. I can use the wires from the portion I cut off. Good thinking

Any old extension cord will work? Or do you guys recommend those fugly orange ones?

I wired mine like this too. Worked like a charm.
