Question 1

Could I use this switch to turn on a central heating pump. I've made a solar panel to heat water for a swimming pool. On at 60 then off at 30?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 2

What is the sensor design for the ITC - 1000 control unit

Accepted Answer

It’s a thermocouple wire.

Question 3

Can I add on a higher rated relay to allow this to control an older freezer with a rating of 13A?

Accepted Answer

Where is this fuse? In the supply to the ink bird or the takeoff for the freezer? The inkbird itself should only draw 3 watts although he power for the freezer does pass through the heating relay inside the device but the supply side is clearly rated at 10 amp/250 volts which is 2500 watts and way too much for a freezer unless you are talking industrial size. For a domestic freezer this should only be drawing a couple of amps and if it is blowing a three amp fuse then either your ink-bird is incorrectly wired or there is a short in your freezer circuitJust for comparison, a 300 litre chest Bosch  freezer draws 90 watts which is less than half an amp.. You should only need 10/13 amps for an electric fire or cooker.

Question 4

Hi I wondered if anyone had found a specific enclosure/bracket for panel mounting this item if so could you please share a link with me? Thanks

Hi Steven Sorry Iâve not found anything specific The last project I used  sourcingmapÂ® Electrical Project DIY Case Power Enclosure Junction Box 6.5 x 4.7 x 2.5 Inch (165 x 120x 65mm ) from amazon. It has removable end panels that make it easy to clamp them  to a piece of scrap wood and  cut out a suitable hole with a cutting disk (or by drilling a series of small holes)  Box is a little over sized for the temperature controller but it gives you a bit of space if you want to add a socket for the outlet to your heater as I did
