intend to use it as an external temp controller, hence, the connection goes like this:

(1) for further ease of use, will buy a regular wall-plug so as to allow a regular 3-pin plug (from the chiller) to be connected to this controller straightaway

(2) notice there are 12 'holes' at the back of the controller, and as stated on the manual, (1) and (2) is for the sensor

(3) (3) 'LIVE' to the OUTPUT (which is my wall-plug now)

(4) (4) 'LIVE' from my main power, which is connected in parallel to (12) too

(5) (11) is is 'NEUTRAL' which is drawn from the main power, which is also connected to the wall-plug.

okie, did i get these right? pls advise.

Hi Bro,

does your temp controller come with the NTC Sensor together? hmm...

Pictures too small cannot see.

Any chance of bigger pictures?

i have scanned the manual, but each pic is at 2 MB, anywhere else which i can attach it to?

yes it does come with a sensor, but not too sure what does NTC mean? anyway, they do carry spare sensor at $15 each

hi bro, Can host on other places or change it to lower res.
Then just attach the url using the insert image function.
You might wish to provide pictures and step by step on how to make it work.

NTC sensor connectors?

When you convert to Jpeg the file size should be greatly drop.

The manual can be downloaded here http://www.foxeng.co.kr/upload/pty3/1243499532_0.pdf
The diagram shows the output used to energize a relay that connects the power to the load.

Triggerfish, which shop did you get it from?

Just to add, the uncle there tell me for the FOX 2001 as long as less than 2.0 amps no need relay. If more than 2.0 amps then it will fry the controller.
