I have a brand new STC 1000 which has been sitting in a drawer for about 6 months, and finally got it out and set it up to operate a heating system. In the process of figuring out how to set it &c, I discovered that the heating function will work, but the cooling function does not..... I was testing the continuity of both sets of contacts using hot and cold water. I originally bought this to use on my fridge but never got around to using it. Currently I have it hooked up on a propane powered overhead radiant ceramic plaque catalytic heater I built.
Anybody else run into defective units?
I bought the standard 110 V STC 1000, as I figured that it was about time I learned temp in C. I can translate millimeters, meters and kilometers effortlessly to inches yards and miles, rods, and fathoms, and I find myself using grams and kilograms more and more. Not much point in using the goofy English / American system really.......... just because that's what we grew up with. It's unquestionably vastly inferior......... Quick, how many feet in a rod or square feet in an acre?? ( 16.5 & 43560 )... how about acres in a quarter section? Yards on a fathom? (160 & 2 )............. How about standard railroad gauge width? (56.5"). One has to wonder how we became saddled with such a collection of oddball measurements. Why should water boil at 212 and freeze at 32 ? Why should there be 5280 feet in a mile? Metric is as logical as our system is illogical.
