Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[Ashburnham]

G'day Oz

Glad you arrived safely.

I got the STC 1000 controller in the mail.

I have wired it up to a heater, but cant get anything to happen,
and the Chinese/English instructions on the one page instruction sheet
are pure gibberish!

Any hints?

Cheers m

Aha!- Thanks mate! That is totally different from the way I envisaged it from their utterly inadequate instructions!

I assumed the heat contacts were self powered.

I will now try that.

If you find you need to adjust the calibration, I can point you to some helpful sites. I had to look that up today...
