Incubator Design Process

[BantyChooks]

Well that disapointing but I understand staying in your budget and comfort zone. I'm looking forward to the next bator.

Next one will be soon, but I have to get this one built within a week as I have folks waiting on goslings. I already have some parts for the next bator as well so it will be possibly even started at the same time.

I’m not losing my marbles, right? These are two different diagrams? The top one indicates that terminal 1 is live, and the bottom indicates that terminal 2 is live. Necessarily, or else the heating source would not make sense, despite the unclear labels.

I tried both configurations but now I wonder if I fried it. Multimeter shows that the terminal is live but neither configuration works…

Top diagram for 110 v ac 1 is line voltage and 2 is neutral. this powers the digital unit. 5 and 6 is a switch for heater. you have to jump power from terminal 1 to 5 teminal 6 is hot when the switch cycles on and runs though the heater and returns on the neutral. The controller does not directly power switch terminals.

Yeah, I jumped it from 1 to 5. The thermostat doesn’t power on at all which makes me believe the issue is with the first two terminals (or I just fried it by following the second diagram.)

Looks like your making progress.

do you have a 110 model. Not 220

I looked it up they are dual voltage.

No I have 220. However the diagram shows it’s for both.

Quite. Fan works, it would be finished if I could get this thermostat to work.
