ranco ETC 112000

most refrences i see are for the ranco 111000, but i picked up a 11200. they look exactly the same except for the wiring. i was wondering if anyone has wired one of these and can helf me out?

The 112000 is a 24v...you should return it and get the 111000 which is 110/120/240. Otherwise you will need a converter to use it.

well i got at a resturant that just closed down. they used it for there walk in cooler. i saw ranco and electronic temperature control and i was like "I'll TAKE IT". it's not like i can really return it, so how would i got about converting it. is it something i can pick up at radio shack? if it's not worth it to convert i have a pair of johnson controls that i use so i could just use the ranco as a paper weight or something. thanks

OK...they make converters but they aren't cheap ($150+ for a crappy one and a decent one will run you $400+) the issue is how clean the power is going to the Ranco. Basically you are creating a high power battery to run it...which is much cleaner power then AC.

alright guess i'll throw it up on ebay... thanks for the help Sean

No problem...just sorry it didn't work out. :)

you could use it, but you have to use a 24 volt power source for it. a transformer that converts 120 volts to 24 volts as a power source. a relay or contactor wired in between the stat output and the heat source.

basically the transformer will power the stat and the contactor/relay will handle the heat source. about 20 bucks in parts at contractor pricing, not sure on retail prices.
