Ranco ETC (Electronic Temperature Controller) model 111000.  Single stage digital temp controller,

Use as an overriding thermostat to control your compatible kegerator chest freezer, refrigerator or fermentation chamber.  I believe this is an unwired unit.  If that’s the case, you need to manually wire it yourself.

Ranco or Inkbird?

Why would you choose this over something like the Inkbird Dual Stage Temp Controller?

• For homebrewing applications, Inkbird ITC-308 series controllers are going to be tough to beat. They offering dual stage temp control and are generally economical.
• The Ranco is generally more expensive and offers fewer features when compared to the ITC-308.
• In my opinion, the advantage that the Ranco does have is… ruggedness.  These are built for commercial applications.  This question in my mind is… do you need a rugged commercial quality unit?  If yes, then this is a controller you may want to look at.
