well here goes another guide

This guide is to help you wire up your AUX PSU for your TEC which wire goes where where the relay goes where the molex goes all those things are explained in this guide so enjoy

first of heres what you need to get this going:

a closer look:


crimpers


My happy extra 320W TEC

RELAYS:


WHAT YOU SHOULD NOT USE!


BEST Relay to use


Lots of wire


Ring terminals can get em from mcmaster and this assorted box was pretty cheap aswell


screw and nuts


and of course the AUX PSU ( this is a Meanwell 320W 12V model)


closer look at the voltage controller

now the steps on how to do this:

1) cut the wires that will go to the TEC the appropriate size from your PSU's +V and -V to where your TEC leads are AND crimp ring terminals on the end (for a stronger hold what I do is solder the wire onto the terminal once I have crimped it... this removes the fear of the wire coming out of the terminal)



2) Get your crydom Relay and all the required items together:



- 2 x ring terminals
- 1 x female molex
- 2 x female molex connectors (sorry about the bad lingo )
- some wire
- and of course the relay

3) crimp the wires and molex connectors


4) connect the wires to the relay (the red wire goes on the +3 and the black wire goes on the 4) the +3 goes to the +12V slot in the female molex and the black wire goes to the ground wire next to it



another view (from ira-k's relay wiring guide ):



5) now get your AC socket and etc.. ready





closer look at the AC socket... I picked this up from the clearance section in sidewindercomputers.com heres the link

6) take two lengths of wire and crimp a ring terminal on one side and then a female spade connector on the other side and then connect a wire to the ground and the next one on the connector labeled 'N'



7) take a short length of red wire and crimp spade connectors on each side



8) connect one side to the connector labeled 'L' and the other on the Relay connector labeled '2'



9) now take a length of wire and crimp a ring terminal on one side and a female spade connector and connect the ring terminal to the relay's '1' connector


from left to right the wires are ground, 'N' and 'L'


a look at the relay wired up

10) connect the spade connectors on to the AC adapter like such:




the red wire is 'L' the female spade connector going to the top is ground and the other one is 'N'

11) now remove a screw from +V and -V on the PSU



12) connect the wires you cut earlier for the TEC the red on the +V and the black on the -V and cover it with its nice little cover



13) crimp ring terminals to your TEC leads




alot of space for solder and that will keep it in there for sure

14) now you can connect the ring terminals together with a screw and a nut each and its done:



oh and for those wondering what i think of the other relay:


PERIOD.

thanks for reading and I hope I helped

any questions you can post here or PM usually will replay in a few hours
