SRC Member oceanviper Posted March 1, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi DIY gurus. I have a question on the Resun CL650 Chiller. Due to my present CL650 temperature sensor behave weird, I have decided to convert to external thermostat. I have change a 10K NTC temperature sensor bought from SLT. The display showing a value of 1/2 of the actual reading. I'm suspecting this big diff is due to the resistance of the thermostat. Please kindly advice if you have done similar modification for resun cl650. Thanks.

stevenkoh08 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 ok first urs is a full set of external thermostat or u just buy the thermostat itself and bringe it to the original connector?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi bro. I'm using just the thermostat itself connecting to the original controller. Thanks.

stevenkoh08 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 oh ok that's the reason why it doesn't match with the controller as their resistor which is the dip down thermostat is different so u may wanna adjust the controller then 0.5 degree is not that bad anywway best of all is get an ext thermostat instead of just the thermosat and do take note resun chiller should be running on a 24v thermostat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The display is showing 1/2 of the actual value. Ex. Display : 12degC Actual : 28degC Is because of the resistance, which i think i need to get a 5k at 25degC thermostat to get a closer reading for the display. Currently is using 10k at 25degC thermostat. So far the chiller kicks in and out seems to be normal. Thanks.

Thanks. good u may try that and see weather the reading correct but best is to get a ext better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member oceanviper Posted March 2, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 2, 2010 good u may try that and see weather the reading correct but best is to get a ext better Hi bro.... Thanks for your comments.... Getting a exact one is a bit difficult cause I don't have the specs of the resun original thermister.... Now can only test on the actual value... Will go and get another one for testing it.... So far the chiller kicks in every 1hr for a duration of less than 10mins...

After going through the hassle, decided to get it repaired and so far i think this service company is the most reasonable price and also good service. Thanks.
