Hello everyone. I am trying to do this project as cheap as possible but with being safe at the top of the list.
I need to control a propane solenoid valve with a temp controller but i want to add a thermocoupler to the valve circuitry so if the pilot light goes out it shuts the solenoid off. I need to make 2 of theses.
im looking to use a solenoid like this: This one is 12 volt dc. Id like to find one thats like 12 or 24 volt ac and just use a small step down transformer. Unless i use a pc power supply which i have 1 or 2 laying around. not sure which one im going to go with. http://www.amazon.com/Amico-2W-160-15-Position-Water-Solenoid/dp/B008MN5I9U
I have 2 cal 3200 temp controllers with pt 100 probes
Here are the electrical specs on the controller

I have a few various SSR's,switches etc for the project.
I have looked into propane valves for hot water heaters, furnaces etc, there just pretty expensive and im tring to keep this sort of clean and neat looking.
All circuits,switches and controllers will be mounted in a control box im designing now.
Heres a pic of the stand. I built this a little while ago and since i aquired the temp controllers id like to get it to work. I would like to mount solenoid right after the 90 on top of manual valve
ive looked into thermocoupler amplifiers etc. just not sure how to wire everything up. Anyone have any ideas.
