Joint hogger Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 fraid Laph had to delete his account for a while & take a break from the site, this includes losing some of his pic's & his diagram's, tho if you read through the first page & check out how he wired it, you can figure out about 90%, once I've got more time, I'll do one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry to say the wiring diagram wasn’t mine to begin with, But it’s not too hard so I’ll put it on my to-do list. I didn’t delete the account here, just got paranoid and hid until I was sure no-one was trying to get me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openairbud Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Great guide this. Im looking at building one of these myself (at last) I have a quick couple of questions if I may. Will this: RS Pro 1 Phase 240VA Variac, 1 Output, 240V, 1A be okay for a 4" fan? (Pretty sure it's plenty big enough) And also can I add an external temp probe to the atc-800? So I can fit the probe inside my grows pace but leave the main controller box outside? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joint hogger Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 yes, it'll be fine using a 1A variac as a 4" fan only uses about 0.2A - 0.3A but just to point out that the 1A variac is really a 0.9A variac if your using it continously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openairbud Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Thanks @Joint hogger for your speedy response! I'll post on this thread again when I've built it, or got into trouble with the wiring.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible it was just for the store I went into but they sounded like it was a company wide decision. They might be cutting back on all their components and concentrating on things like drones from the sound of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they're going bust mate........can't give a source off hand but remember something about it in the news last week....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroDoser Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Just now, stu914 said: Pretty sure they're going bust mate........can't give a source off hand but remember something about it in the news last week....... That would fit with the faces on the guys who worked there who were telling me about the relays. Anyway, I have found that Amazon and China are a good combo for getting cheap electronics if you don't mind the wait while it gets shipped from overseas. I got 4 relays and bases for the price of 1 relay from Maplin, admittedly two are not top notch but that still leaves two good ones for the price of one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laphroaig Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 You can find similar relays on eBay from UK sellers for around £7 for the relay and base. But it looks as if you're right about Maplin, I went down for some components recently and they couldn't help. Even basic things like ferules and cable glands jut got me blank looks.

Openairbud Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just a quick report back to say my controller is wired and operational. Many thanks to @Laphroaig @Joint hogger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
