  • STC 1000 probe

    Hi, my STC 1000 probe measures open circuit. If anyone has managed to purchase just the probe, could you please recommend a supplier?

    You're looking for an NTC Thermistor. It's almost cheaper to just buy a new controller. They're like R230 these days: https://www.jungleaquatics.net/onlin...8aAqFUEALw_wcB

    If you find a probe, I'll also be interested in ordering one, preferably a waterproof one.

      JungleAquatics used to stock replacement probes ... Can't find any on their site tho ... maybe give them a ring and ask

      EDIT: Otherwise import from China?

        I have bought STC units from these LED Select guys on bidorbuy and their prices are good and quick delivery. They have this item, local stock:

        https://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/4400...CAL_STOCK.html

        I would just confirm with them first if it is the correct probe to use on the STC unit. Please let us know if you come right. I think keeping a spare is a good idea.

        Good luck
        Cheers,

              Thank you all for the advice. I'm going to order some spares from BoB, thanks Langchop. Best deal I can see from all the research.

              Strange thing happened though....last night I measured the dimensions of the probe and thought what the hell, let's measure the resistance again. Lo and behold, it's working again! I yanked the cable, knocked the probe around, but still no error. I can only think there's a dry joint on the thermistor inside the probe and while I cold crashed it went open circuit with the temp at about 1°C. It initially gave a "hh" error on the STC, which indicates "out of range". When I measured it definitely was open circuit.

              @ Langchop, Newcastle is an awesome place to live but home brew suppliers are non existent. Luckily I'm a newbie still brewing extract kits, but AG is going to be a challenge. Thank heavens for couriers!

                If it happens again, try Communica or RS-Online.
