Title: Thermostat, External, Digital - Ranco ETC-111000-000, Wiring For 220V?
Post by: Fix on July 18, 2011, 02:03:36 PM
Hey hey.  ;)

I've just got Ranco ETC-111000-000 device. But I can't understand how to wire it for 220V.
Any one have experience to wiring Ranco for 220V please?

The Ranco is sort of a dumb device and just turns on and off depending on your settings, so it only controls one "leg" of the wiring. You need to add a relay if you are doing 220 volt. This is complicated and it is a very tight working space.  I would talk to your supplier about this. The simplest solution is to have them pre-wire it for you.

I have wired it like for 240V but it's not working that's why I'm asking.
I will send them a message. Thanks. ;)

Interesting. I copied the specs above from the same website. Their prewired controller is just for 110v.

They recommended to me, to get one and wire it by myself.
But now I don't know how to do it hehehe ...

:D

I got one from Amazon.com within the past 6 months, wired it for 110v, and it's doing great. I love that you can set the allowable swing. It was a tight space and I recall cursing a few times when I wired it.

Sure beats the Johnson analog I had first.

Did you wire it according to the diagrammed instructions?

Did you have also 220V at your home?
Yes, sure. Like this:

But I put it in 240V with the bridge.

Ok, got the answer from ETC. Here is the info:

=-=-=-
You will want to refer to figure 5 in the manual and wire it for 240v (it will work on 220).

The input voltage on the right side of the diagram is labeled 240VAC. Your load (the device
you wish to control) is on the left side labeled 240 Volt Load.


Starting with the input voltage, the hot wire connects to both the 240 terminal on the upper
terminal block and the C terminal on the lower terminal block. The neutral wire connects to
the COM terminal on the upper terminal block.

For the wires coming from your load (heater, chiller or other device), the hot wire connects to
the NO contact on the lower terminal block and the neutral wire connects to the COM terminal
of the upper terminal block.

If you have ground wires they should just be connected together and do not connect to the
Ranco unit.

Assuming you connect 220-240VAC to the upper terminal block successfully the display should
turn on.

=-=-=-

Everything work perfect for 220V when it's wired like for 240V. My bad was that I've done it
other way. But now all is fine. Hope this info will be usefull.  ;)
