Hi Dave, yes that would not be good!!!

I was following the colours used on the Electric Brewery website (black for live, blue for neutral)

seems strange that they've used blue for neutral ,i'd have expected there neutral to be white.

Their neutral is white. It is only shown in blue on their circuit diagrams, presumably because you can't print 'white'.

WE HAVE POWER!!!!

Hi All, today I powered up the panel for the first time!!!

There was no smoke and the house electrics did not trip so all in all it was good:)



Tested all of the switches and they all did what they were supposed to do.

Still need to connect up the Volt and Amp meters when the step down power converters arrive and I still need to wire up the Timer and alarm switches:)

BOIL Element working ok:)



So is the HLT Element:)



The Water and Wort Pumps are working fine to!!!

Hi, I have now wired up the Sestos B3S Timer and am having a couple of problems that are proving difficult to work out:(

1. The timer only seems to count upwards.... Set it for a 1 min countdown but it counts up???

2. The alarm sounds as soon as I start the timer and stops when the end is reached... Need this to be the other way round???

Any ideas???

It counts up yeah...

With regard to the alarm you have it on the NC output instead of the NO. Swap that one over and jobs a gooden

Hello mate, that's what I thought! What PIN number have you got you timer alarm on/off selector switch connected to on the B3S timer?

Jay

[Belter]

I'm at work now so can't find out. Unless you post a picture? But I will have fed the switch then from the switch to the common terminal on the timer. Then taken the NO contact to the alarm.

[Jay7792]

Hello mate, I have mine wired like below (ignore the PIDS as I'm using Sestos)



Jay

[Belter]

Mine is wired the same except I haven't taken the 0v terminal back to the supply neutral. That's not necessary and could be causing a problem. I'd check with a continuity meter wether there is a link between the 0v terminal and the supply neutral.

I'd then use the same meter to prove the NC contact is NC and then use the timer. When it clicks over to NO check the NO becomes NC

[Jay7792]

Hi Belter, got the alarm sorted on the timer... Thanks for your help:)

I am having a few probs with the PIDS not sounding the alarm when target temp is reached... Could you please look over how I have them wired and see if you can see any problems?




The PIDS are Sestos D1S-VR 220.

Thanks again for your help mate.
