Electronics

 

Required Tools

To complete this build you will need the following tools:

Digital Multi-meter
3mm Allen Key
2.5mm Allen Key
Small Philips Head Screwdriver (For Electronics)
Large Philips Head Screwdriver (PH2)

 

Building the Electronics Box

Step 1

Take the electronics box and lay it on its side with the large holes exposed to the top.


 

Step 2

Take the 3 blue plug sockets and arrange them as shown.

Step 3

Connect the Green 15cm Spade to Bare to blue sockets. Then connect the Black and Red 15cm Spade to Bare to the 3 blue sockets as shown.

Note: To get the green cable to fit you may need to shave a little bit of the side plastic off the spade plug.

Step 4

Using the 6x M3 8mm secure the sockets in place.

Step 5

Taking the Kettle Plug and place the wires through the opening. Then take the 2x M4 8mm to secure the plug in place.

Step 6

Using a M4 8mm bolts, a M4 washer and a M4 locknut place them through the top hole as shown. Don’t tighten these just yet.

Step 7

Slot the Aluminium Heat Sink under the M4 Bolt and washer. Then using the remaining M4 8mm bolt, M4 washer and M4 locknut secure the Heat Sink in Place. These should be very tight to prevent movement in the future.

Step 8

Taking 1 of the Wago 5pin Quick connectors, lift all the orange latches. Secure the Blue cable coming from the Kettle Socket to it.

Although this image shows a Wago 5pin, use a 3pin connector to connect the Red. (We will update our image shortly)

Step 9

Next using the 3x 15cm Bare to Spade Black Cable that were previously connected in Step 3 to the Blue Sockets. Connect the bare end to the Wago Quick Connector with the Blue lead. as shown.

Step 10

With the third and Wago 5pin Quick connector, use this to connect the 3 Red 15cm Cables that are attached to the 3 Blue sockets and add the 15cm Fork to Bare Red Cable as shown.

Step 11

On the Wago 3pin Quick connector that only has the Red Cable from the Kettle Socket connect the 1x Red 25cm Fork to Bare as shown in the picture.

Step 12

Repeat Step 11, but this time for the 1x Black 25cm Fork to Bare as show in the picture.

Step 13

Next take the PID Controllers and remove the securing pieces by lifting the tabs.

Step 14

Place the PID Controllers through the front plate using the spring-loaded locking mechanism to lock the PID to the front pannel.

Step 15

Once in place the arrangement should look something like this.

Step 16

Now place the PID Front Panel face down for easy wiring in the next steps.

Step 17

Taking the Red Cable we connected in Step 11, connect the one to each of the top left slot of the PID’s as show in the image.

Step 18

Now with the Black Cable from Step 12 connect these to the second from the top connection point on the left as show.

Step 19

Take the SSR and remove the plastic cover. Next, take one of the 25cm Black Fork to Fork Cables and connect it to the lower-left connection point. Using the text to ensure the SSR is correctly orientated.

Step 20

Now take one of the 25cm Red Fork to Fork Cables and connect it to the lower-right connection point.

Step 21

Then take one of the 15 Red Fork to Bare Cables and connect it to the upper-left connection point.

Step 22

With the SSR, and the currently vacant connection slot on the top right, connect the Fork connection that currently is connected the 5pin Wago Quick connector as shown.

Step 23

Then connect this to the Aluminium Heatsink with the final 2x M4 8mm bolts.

Step 27

To ensure proper safety, press the plastic shields that were previously removed into place, covering the electrical contacts and tape down with electrical tape.

Step 28

Taking the Black and Red Cables that come out of the bottom of the SSR. Connect the SSR to the PID Controller. Black Cable should be located on the 3rd pin (Negative) from the top (on the left) and the Red Cable to the 4th pin (Positive).

NOTE: Not all our PID controllers are the same. Some may have the NEGATIVE on the 4th pin and POSITIVE on the 3rd pin. Please make sure you switch these if your specific PID requires it.

Step 29

Take the Red Cable that is connected to the top Left of the SSR and connect them to the Wago 3pin Quick Connector.

Step 32

Next taking the Yellow cable from the Kettle Socket, connect it to an additional Wago 5pin Quick Connector.

Step 33

Next connect the 3x Green Cables coming from the Blue Sockets to the Wago Quick Connector.

Step 34

Finally take the 15cm Green Bare to Loop Cable, securing the loop to the M4 bolt used to mount the Kettle Socket with an M4 Lock Nut.

Step 35

Then connect the opposite end to the Wago 5 Pin.

Step 36

Now take one of the Thermocouple Mounts and the Thermocouple Cable.

Step 37

Bend over the ends of the Thermocouple Cable to create little loops as shown.

Step 38

Connect the two cables as shown. Making sure the orientation matches the photo.

Step 39

Now thread the Thermocouple through the slot and press it into place.

Step 40

Now connect the Thermocouple leads to the PID’s. The Thermocouple located to the back of the box should be connected to the Top PID and the Thermocouple that is located closest to the front, should be located on the lower PID.

The Green Wire should be connected from the second from the bottom, with the Red just underneath it as shown.

Step 40

Finally, double check all your cables are secure, then slowly place the lid on top of the box, ensuring non of the cables are pulled, or trapped in the process.

Then secure the panel using the 4x M5 6mm Button Head Bolts as shown.

Then please place the electrical warning label as shown.
