Max tempreture sps can take??

[AlfaRomeo]

Cedric, where did you get the safeguard pls? Can share with us so that we can get the safety pls? thanks!

[Cedric]

I use the fox controller and thats it! It comes with its temperature probe which I leave in the main tank, it is wired inbetween the power supply and the MH. WHen the temp of the main tank rises beyond your preset temp, it will cut the power supply to my MH. ITs really very simple!

Sorry bro, but what is a fox controller? I DIY zero lah. Can show photo? Or best can tell where to get?

i agreed with him..

need more info on fox controller..

like where to get it.

how to install it

and what other safety measures...

[AlfaRomeo]

Scarab, if you DIY zero then I DIY -100... hehehe Very interested to know whats a Fox controller

[lightningstrike]

the FOX controller can be found at sim lim tower. exactly which unit, i hv forgotten liaoz. gotta ask cedric. Scarab, u hv seen the controller b4. coz i used it to overwrite my previous chiller unit.

[Cedric]

Er . . . You do not necessary need a "FOX" temperature controller. Any temperature controller will do. There are several models to choose from in Sim Lim Tower. The wiring diagram is also provided. It looks just like the temperature controller found in all our chillers. Only thing to add is you need to tell them its for "heater" function instead of "chiller" function

Wah chiak lat, see before also don't know how it look like.

Better leave DIY to someone else. If I buy and install later explode.

u old man liaoz la...... failing memory...... approach Cedric for installation advice.

me...too..

wait i install it also explode...

btw...how much it cost...

need to get it soon

[Cedric]

Cost range from $65-$150+++. I'm using the AC to AC version capable of handling up to 3Amp. Heater or Cooler function, full delta control, plastic coated probe and 3 digit LED display. FOX is a made in Korea brand. Working very well for me so far.

This is the blur pic I can dig out so far.

Guess the IKS can use the temp sensor to switch off the MH if the temp exceeds a certain set point.

Hi Cedric,

Super hightech, can post some pic of the full view for

your hightech cabinet.

but roughly how much is yours...?

i just want to get one that can switch off my MH when the temp goes beyond 29 ..

does this gadget comes with a timer function too???

[Cedric]

The usual price of the temperature is around $90+/-. I got mine at a discount of $65 because I bought in bulk (About 15 controllers).

The wiring is very simple, however, the only timer fuction is the start delay. Meaning to say, if I set the time delay to 15mins and the temp flucuates frequently, the controller will ony allow the MH to restart after 15mins when the temp has dropped beyond your preset level.

[AlfaRomeo]

Cedric, my MHs are 3x250w & 2x58W actinic all running on 1 power point. Would the Fox controller be able to handle the current draw in my case pls? thanks!

[Hon]

alfa,

Actually can link an IKS socket bar to another iks socket. Then set that socket to "Heat" if temp below 30 deg. If temp goes above 30deg, switch off "Heater" which is the socket bar controlling the MH lighting.

FYI, The on/off socket bar can take up to max of 3000watt in a single socket or 4 x 750watt max depending on how the power are distributed. Bottom line is each socket bar can withstand 3000watt.

hmm where can i buy this gadget?

sim lim tower or sim lim square?

do they come with a instruction manual..

i can ask my technician to look into it

[AlfaRomeo]

Weisoon/Hon, thanks for the advices.. will try hookin up a spare IKS socket bar that I have lying around waiting to be used and see if I can get it to work as described by the both of you.. Wish me luck

Already answered in previous post bro!

[chselee]

Hi,

I'm using one of it for my chiller too. (FOX-1400).

The sensor can be use to sense temp. range of -40.0 Deg to +90 Deg.

Bought it from SIM LIM Tower "JUTEC Elec" #B1-37B. ($85.00 inc GST)

[zorden]

The sensor can be use to sense temp. range of -40.0 Deg to +90 Deg.

wow.

i don think we need this range i think anything from 20 - 40 deg can liao...

anyway for the location brother

i just got myself a Fox 1004.

well heard from the boss of the shop that there waz a sudden increase of customer looking for this model..

he would like to extend his thanks to you..brother for helping him to advertise

do u need a relay..

me from multimedia in poly....

not any electrical faculty..thus don know much abt those electric stuff..

i intend to use it to stop a MH if the chiller spoil...

[Cedric]

Thank me? hahaha Not necessary! I don't even remember his shop name! I'm only avocating installing fail safes by using redundancy in our system. But thanks for relaying the message, I appreciate it!

Use any brand or type of controllers you want!

As for relays or contactors, I do not use any because my amperage usage does not warrant the use of one. Take into consideration for your load and startup amp and add a safety factor! Only you can decide if it is safe enough to run without a relay coz I do not know what is your electrical load!
