simple wiring help keezer setup

Post by wireless1978 »

I am just getting into this and i want to start off simple. I purchased the bcs-460 and the powerswitch tail, I am just going to start off by using it for my temp. controller for my keezer. I wired the temp. probe to temp probe0 and the other wire to the ground. Now i just need some help on what i need to wire from the bcs to the powerswitch tail?

Thinking about going this route and was wondering if you resolved this. I noticed the Powerswitch Tail has two input terminals and one ground terminal but the BCS has only one output. Which input on the Powerswitch Tail gets the output wire from the BCS?

Did you connect the BCS ground to the Powerswitch ground terminal?

Thanks,
Ron

You need to use two wires to hookup between the BCS and the Power Switch Tail. Attach one of the BCS outputs to the (+ in) on the PST and attach a BCS ground to the (- in) on the PST. You can ignore the ground connection on the PST.

Chief764, yes i did get this figured out. The setup works great. I actually expanded it to my fermentation heater and they both work great.
