I began to wire and program the main control panel.......
The layout was a bit trying but I finally got to a conclusion and screwed them down.......
And as tedious as it is I began and.......
Finished!
Now for all the bell's and whistles.......
Everything works perfectly with exception to my Voltage and Amperage panel meters. The instructions were not very clear and I ended up frying both. The AC to DC power converters are adjustable and I neglected to check at what voltage they were set at before energizing the meters. They are suppose to be set at 5vdc or a little less but they were at least set at 18 to 25vdc. I will have to replace them. But I can use the panel without them so I am in no real hurry to replace them. I may even wait until I get to brew my first brew as I am getting really anxious now.
I also hit another snag as I have been unable to find a container that would hold at least 30 gallons of water that would fit in my 7 cubic foot freezer so I have opted to try a small pond liner. I will also have to build a collar for the freezer to run the pump lines through. Since I am going to have to do that I might as well build collars for all three of them.
I also still have to build a platform for the pumps as well as mount the pumps to it and then put all the parts and pieces for this whole system together. Still a bit to do but will be completed before I know it and then we can get down to the business of brewing well crafted beer. I can't hardly wait.
More later.......
