STC1000 or ATC800 Controllers
 

Hi,

Im going to use one of the ATC800 or STC1000 controllers to control two heaters and a chiller. The ATC800 has a 25AMP cooling side so I guess this will be the one.

I have a concern about running a chiller through this. The way I see it you would have to cycle the overall power of the chiller. Im guessing you set the chiller to the minimum value and let the ATC800 cycle it. I have read you can set a delay to protect the chiller compressor so it doesnt cycle constantly but Im concerned about running my chiller this way.


Anyone out there using one to run a chiller or any advice generally.

If i use it only to run heaters Ill probably just use a STC1000

Thoughts/pics/input......Thanks

The STC1000 (and the newer E1000) can do cooling as well, why only use that if not cooling? I haven't actually used it for a chiller (I just use my STC1000 for heater and cooling fans) but that certainly has a delay timer on the cooling side to prevent rapid turning on and off (not that that would happen anyway as it waits for at least 0.3°C temp change before switching on/off).
