Build instruction:
- open up the amazon basic heater and take out the following components.
- power button
- 110 power cable
- 12v power regulator circuit
- heating element
- heating element housing - for the housing, you will need to cut off the three prones for using in this case
- front metal shroud
- 4 short screws
- not used part from the heater
- LED - not needed because controller has one already
- Switch - not needed
- Overheat breaker? - not used. It trips at too low of a temperature for this build
- 12V fan - it is not powerful enough for this design.
- I put the circuit into the housing in the following order
- 110V power cable
- power button
- temperature controller
- note you can squeeze cable below the temperature controller
- 110V fan using the 4 short screw
- voltage regulator
- Heating element and housing - I used some 4 mm screw for this.
- The heating element will have 110V. Be Safe. Do not reach near the front before you put on the metal shroud.
- When you hook up the controller for the first time, the heating element will be off. Do not worry. Read on.
- Front metal shroud can be fit onto the slot on the housing
- You might want this off to see if the connection is correct. You only need to see the fan and the controller to be running.
- Put the shroud on as soon as everything is connected
- Build note
- I suggest to use a Wago connector at Pin 3. That makes installation easier
- You might need some additional wire for Pin 3 and Pin 4 position.
- You will need to program the temperature controller.
- Long press the SET button will let you enter programming mode. And short press will cycle program mode. Press both button to enter a config.
- P0, Heating/Cooling: H/C, C - Change this to H. This is will turn on the heating element.
- P1, Return difference: 0.1-30, 2 - Change this to 1. This makes the system stabilize +/- 1 C around target temp
- P2, Set limit maximum: +110, 110
- P3, Set limit minimum: -50, -50
- P4, Temperature correction: -15 - +15, 0
- P5, Delay start: 0-10, 0
- P6, High temperature alarm: -50 - +110, OFF
- P7, Celsius/Fahrenheit: CS/FH, CS
- P8, Factory reset: ON-OFF, OFF
