Z-Temp Heat Bed Control - Switched wire colors
« on: June 05, 2016, 03:19:38 PM »
Today i installed the heatbed controller. It works. But i almost did not, because of the switched wires / colors.
The black wire of the z-temp hbc connector leads to the black wire of the bed connector, but the hbc connector
is plugged in the "wrong" way into the controller board: red to where black should be. Take a look at the attachments.

I had to take a precise look at the docs to notice that this is ment this way.

Is this a mistake in choosing the wire colors or is this something i do not understand ?

The bed thermistor is a non-polarized, resistive component. Wire colors and polarity don't matter at all.
