Re: [APML] OT Kendrick heater problem

Joe;

I'll Second Kevin's recomendation. BewBuster, http://www.gbronline.com/ronkeating/controller/dewbuster.htm , is Really a nice controller with Temp Sensor Probe circuitry. You can "control" the amount of heat going into your main optice within 1F above ambient. There are two oulets for this, and 6 outlets for the reqular at 40% heat. Kendrick also has a new Controller with Temp Sensor Probe circuitry too. Shop for your best deal...joe :)

Joe, if you are looking for a new controller, may I recommend the Dew Buster? I have one and love it.

According to their site, it is rated for 10 amps.

Thanks Joe and Kirk for your feedback.

I did use the car cigarette lighter outlet just to determine the controller and the heaters are working properly. I have isolated the problem down to the power supply. It looks like the over current circuitry is dropping out the power with a load. I have been using this setup for a few years using only the lower settings on the controller . But as with all things time takes a toll, time to shop for a new supply with a higher amp rating.

Thanks, Joe.
