You could leave out the Element Firing LED indicator lamp, but then you could miss out on an SSR failure (they tend to fail in the on state.) You could also leave out the fuses if you use 10AWG wire to deliver power to the PID. By the way, this is one of my designs.
Here's the one pump version of the drawing, which also uses a newer, better controller.

Note that adding a 120V pump requires a four wire power feed vs. the three wire feed used by the 240V only (no pump) design.

I just started looking for a simple system to control a DIY BIAB 240V system with one pump, and I think this diagram is right for that application.
I have three questions:
1) I plan on plugging this into a 3-wire dryer outlet through a spa panel to give a 4 wire system with GFCI - would that work for input to this?
Yes
2) Can the spa panel be portable - i.e. not affixed to my house?
Yes, it should be "portable." The 3 wire to 4 wire circuit is not code compliant, so it would be a code violation to have it as part of the fixed structure wiring.
3) I need to get about 20 feet away from the outlet to get outside.
Assuming I use the proper gauge wire, what is the better plan - keep the spa panel closer to the outlet and then run an extension cord or keep the spa panel closer to the control box and run an extension cord from the outlet to the spa panel?
I think it would be more convenient to have the spa panel inside, near the outlet.
Does anyone have all these diagrams hosted somewhere? Bummer they all vanished.
Just sent that guy the one I had that he didn't.

A lot of extra stuff in there but a lot of diagrams as well. Way back when PJ first mentioned this might go down I just set Acrobat to download the entire site.
you should be taken straight to a download page... but currently are not. either the files were taken down, or something else is happening like we've reached the download limit.Do you need a login to access these or just sign up?

EDIT: that post is from march. i suspect these free up/download sites have a time limit... use the recently-mentioned Google Drive site instead.
Here's something quite similar to what you are asking for. I think the only things extra are the volt/amp meter, which is optional, and the DSPR300 vs. the DSPR120. The DSPR120 does not have the external alarm outputs, so just leave out the alarm wiring and the connections to terminals 1, 2, 13 & 14 of the DSPR.Hi,
Can't say thanks enough for all the information you guys have contributed via this forum. Wow!
I am assembling the controller as shown in the attachment (thanks to Bobby form BH for the diagram). I have it built as shown (I think), but would like to add a "Master" switch and indicator light for that switch that would assure that the entire controller was dead when the light is off. Please note that I only have been "painting by the numbers" given the attached diagram and am very electronically challenged. I'm sure what I'm after could be found elsewhere on this thread but I don't believe I'm smart enough to be sure... Any idiot-proof help available would be greatly appreciated.
I'm in the final process of building a 15 Gal recirculating BIAB system as a retirement present to myself. I enjoyed brewing extract kits some 25 years ago and decided to see what might have changed since then... couldn't believe what was out there when I started researching home brew systems online!!! Dying to get a first batch in the works.
They are just a 1 for 1 swap out. The SW4 doesn't have a light to wire, so leave out the wiring for the light. You'll save a few bucks, but no longer have the lamp to give you an easy to see indication of the switch position.How could the Sw1/Sw16 switches be changed to Sw4 like the alarm switch?
Thanks
Ivan

Doug what software are you using to design these schematics? I have for a few I like but need to make a few small tweaks.Here's something quite similar to what you are asking for.

I tried to open this but it looks empty, maybe cause I am on a phone not computer.
I see them - took a minute to load though. There's a bunch.I tried to open this but it looks empty, maybe cause I am on a phone not computer.
Anybody have a current site with these schematics?
I use a program called QuickCAD 8. Unfortunately, it hasn't been available for years. I can output .dxf files if you have another CAD program you want to use, but some things are lost in translation.Doug what software are you using to design these schematics?

Looks pretty good. Try turning the grid off, and setting the background color to light gray, to see if that will bring back the white neutral lines (which are showing in black now.) Also, there are some orphan symbols, which may have been sitting in the undo buffer.Doug here is how the file imported into AutoSketch, the symbols will need to be redone but looks good.

I was looking through some old threads and came across this again. PJ was an awesome resource. I'm so glad his drawings are preserved.Just was looking through my drive and i believe i had most of PJ's wiring guides.

Just wanted to make sure everyone can see and work in the projects they need.
awesome, thanks for the update!Hello Everyone, i know there has been a lot of requests for the electrical diagrams again. Here is an updated link to where i have them hosted.

Please feel free to download these or ping me if you want them hosted elsewhere.
I'm not the host but here they are:
Any chance I can get access to this drive? Thank you in advance.
