Good Day Mate! This is Tony from Kentucky USA, home of the fastest horses and best Bourbon on Earth. I wanted to thank you for the outstanding video explaining programming the STC 1000! Just got mine today and, because of your help my setup was done within a minute; I didn't even need to read the damn instructions :) So far the STC 1000 is doing great. I am using mine powering a window AC for a walk in cooler. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to make a really informative video!

The delay is for what's called "compressor stall." If the compressor tries to start up at the full differential of low to high pressure, it takes a LOT of electricity to get the motor to move, so much soo that it may burn itself out. The delay is for the refrigerant to go from the high to low pressure side through the loop's restriction.

I use one on the fermenter fridge and another on the HLT, the probe goes through a 1/2" BSP end cap (silicone watertight) and into the tub.

@DA-jw6nmАй бұрын
Differential determines how far from set point the relay changes state. You erroneously stated that .5 would go .5 above and .5 below point which is wrong. Differential =.5 would mean as temperature drops below set point by .5 degrees the relay would close energizing heater and as temperature reaches set point relay will open de-energizing the heater. This could be called “span” or “range”. A more common case might be to regulate temperature between say 25-30C. The differential is 5. So for heating the relay closes when 25C is reached and will open at 30C turning off the heater. All instruments have a deadband which is “slop” so exact temperature is not possible but close enough. A true PID controller would let you tune out almost all deadband
@HomeBrewNetworkАй бұрын
I was keeping it simple so people understand it, and a PID controller would be totally useless for the situation I was using this in, and most other brewers as well. When we want PID control we buy a PID controller. Cheers!

Thanks for the very helpful video. I was totally stuck trying to work out the printed instructions. I’m going to use my STC-1000 temperature controller for my homebrew fermentation. Most of my brews require a fermentation temperature of 18C. So I thought of making the temperature set value 18.5 and the difference set value 0.5. However, I am not too happy with the controller clicking on and off too frequently. Will there be possible harm to the controller if I go with the above setting?

So how do this work? I'm trying to make a portable air conditioner but the compressor overheats if it runs non stop, so if I set this at let's say 20 degrees, will the AC compressor shut off once it reaches 20 degrees then turns back on again if it goes up above 20 degrees? Is this how it works? If so, I'm buying one.

Hey Gash. One thing I haven‘t figured out is how you prevent the heating and cooling circuits from possibly competing and hence cycling with each other if the difference is too small (you state that it could be set to like 0.2°C…), especially considering the thermal inertia of 20l of beer. When I cool for example the temperature will continue drop a few tenths of a degree even after the cooling circuit has cut out. Similarly, the heat will continue to increase a few tenths of a degree after the heating circuit has cut out due to residual warmth in the pad, etc. If you set the difference to only 0.2°C then the heating and cooling circuits would continuously cycle….right? Have you observed this and how do you combat it? Obviously you can make the temperature difference larger, but then you‘re not controlling your temperature within 1°C.🤷🏼♂️

The cooling cycle has the delay setting to prevent compressor damage/wear so it's not going to be flicking on and off fast. Cheers!
