Inkbird Dual Stage ITC-1000 12V Digital Heating and Cooling Temperature Controller Thermostat for Fans, Aquarium Heaters

I happy when I same item,

Easy settings, manual is provided. Occupies less space. Works as expected!!

Uno de los 2 controles que compre no tiene el cable con sensor

Just what I needed. I am using this to control the temperature of a peltier water cooling device I am building and it works flawlessly. It is fully programmable to heat or cool. I have it set to come on when the water reaches 68 degrees F and turn off at 65 degrees F. You simply set the on temp and the difference, which in my case is 3 degrees. It has a built in high temp alarm that engages and automatically shuts everything, except the alarm, down if for some reason it fails to to cool below the set high range....for instance a fan or water pump failure. It will protect the peltier from thermal runaway. I do recommend using an appropriate size fuse inline for the load. It comes with a wiring diagram affixed to the top as well as relatively clear instructions on how to program it. Another model I had of this same device had no instructions and I had to get on YouTube if learn how to program it. This one has clear instructions. Note that the orange clips slide off the back so that you can slide the controller into a panel and then slide the orange clips back in place to hold it securely in place. The instructions did not show this but it was easy enough to figure out. This model has the ability to select either F or C to display. The other one I had only had Celsius. It comes in 12v DC or 110V DC so make certain you order the proper one for your needs. The selection of Heat or Cool is carried out by which terminals you connect to. There are two terminals for heating or the other two terminals for cooling .No need to program the function. It automatically knows your selection by which terminals you are using. You need to make a wire shunt to run from the positive input to the cool or heat terminals depending on your needs. I can see where this would be a great method of providing temp control for incubators, brood boxes, or heat lamps for pets. Note that it has a 10 amp rating. If you need to carry a bigger load simply connect it to an appropriate sized relay. Know your load and stay safely under it or as I stated use an appropriate relay. I prefer using relays with built in diodes to prevent flyback voltage from knocking anything out. Get one......and have fun.

I have bought quite a few of these to use in various projects where I am either heating or cooling small spaces. They work very well for that purpose. There are YouTube videos available that illustrate how to use them, how to set them up.

Easy to install and setup
