Title: STC1000 wiring help:
Post by: Hop Bomb on April 03, 2013, 08:02:00 PM
I ordered an STC1000 but got sent a Willhi WH7016C instead. Same thing except the ports are numbered differently & there is no instructions with it & the pdf is throwning up a 404 not found on their website.

Can someone help me with the wiring? What goes where. Id be very grateful. (ive a 100w bulb for heat & the fridge for cool)

I know port 7 & 8 are for the temp probe. Where do I wire the rest to? 

Thanks in advance.
Tom

Willhi will only heat or cool  :( not both  :(
I use it to heat only my HLT but mine s 30A
STC would have been better  :(

Hi ciderhead, l was looking at those tube heaters before on Amazon but wasn't sure if they would get hot enough? How do you find them? I just use a 40w bulb at the moment, I put an old extract can over it to shield the light.

They are designed as heaters and I make sure there is plenty of space around it to circulate air your electric light bulb is not  :(
btw, there are aliens in you fridge ;)
