At some point soon the motor is going to end up on top of a cyclone which will be on top of the drum I bought, at that point it will be a real pain to reach, so I think I have little choice. I just hope you can cope with all the dumb questions I will ask . Looks like a two week lead time or the relay to get here from Hong Kong, so we both have time to Bruce ourselves for the experience!

Terry:
On the matter of motor location, my cyclone motor is located 15feet above the floor, so i feel your pain. One thing Oneida cautioned on my 1ph motor was not to start and stop it too often in a short time( like more than 8 times per hour). Too often and the start cap may fail, leaving me out of action until fixed. This might be a consideration for you too.

That is great, your unit has the same set-up as the Axminster one I bought, I agree with Bob, they are cutting corners the switch is under rated.
This the type of relay I used, once you get, I can send you the details of how to connect it up, walking you though how to wire it in to still use the temperature sensor and allow the remote control to work. You will end up with 2 power leads, 1 for the motor feed and the other is the control, connected to your remote control socket.
Are you up for the upgrade

I expect that you were a Boy Scout Dave and possibly that Terry was not!

Spot on Bob, as my wife says, years of working in strategy have left me with a it of a blind spot on execution .
