Hailea Chiller with External Temperature Controller without modification to the chiller and without DIY risk (Part 3)

From the post part 2, I have brought another type of temperature controllers from the Internet, http://www.taobao.com/ .


Let me review this temperature controller.



It have the same functions as the first type, except now the upper and lower temperatures can be set separately. Advantage is that it can set a wide temperature difference so that the chiller will not kick in so often.

It have two outputs that switch on together. I connect one of the output to the chiller and the other to the exhaust fan to cool the chiller. So the exhaust fan did not need to on all the time.

Overall, it is a good product to have and no need to DIY at all. It have features that you need in the temperature controller you brought from Sim Lim Tower. Best of all, it is about $50 included shipping cost. This cost is much cheaper than DIY the temperature controller from Sim Lim Tower, three pin socket (about $10) + all the wire and three pin plug.
