Hey guys! My digital thermostat arrive and as promised, I've fitted it and taken some photos and have put together this how-to on what's needed. It's actually a piece of cake to do!
The only issue I can see is operation under 240V. I'll have to work on that, but it works perfectly on 12V. Will have to figure out what's wrong with the 240V and post the changes later.
Items you'll need:
2 to 3mm steel drill bit and cordless drill
Dremel/similar with metal cutoff wheel and wire brush
Soldering iron + solder
Electrical wire, 10A is more than enough, about 500mm total
Crimping tool plus one blue 6mm circle connector
Philips screwdriver PH2 and PH0 sizes
Electrical tape
Wire cutters, thin needle nose pliers
Small amount of enamel paint
Plus the digital thermostat, of course. I bought this one from eBay, and as you'll see it looks like it was meant to be there!
Okay, on with the required steps, there are 9 in all.
