1.  Auber IND-1 LED Indicators:  There are two connections on the back of them labeled X1 and X2.  Which is black?

2. Auber SW8 On/Off Switch:  There are four connections.  Which one for black going to the back of the main power contactor, and which one for the black going to the side of the main power contactor?

Thanks!  P.S.  So far awesome writeup.  I am almost done, and ready to fire it up, and start a fire!  Just kidding.  I have tripled checked everything.  The only thing I added, was another PT100 to the MLT PID.  Just because I want to see the difference in the water temp, compared to the HLT.  Yes, I have the wort circulating through the HLT water.  I like being able to control the water temps in every step.

1. Each wire is 110V, so it does not matter.

2. There are 2 blocks on the switch (4 connections). You just use 1 block. Chose one and connect the black wires as indicated.

Curious, can I add a 20A 120v power source to this, and test things?  I don't have my 30a 240v line run yet.  Would that damage things, or would things just not work.

I don't have the heating elements yet, so I would just check power to the receptacles.

You can connect the neutral wire, ground and one hot leg (to the black one in my diagrams).

Everything working on 110V will work. The heating element receptacles won't work, because you will have only 110V on 1 leg.

I am looking at building a new panel just like yours but in 110v.   I only have 1650 watt RIMS elements to run so a 15A 110v outlet is all that I need to power.  With using a 3 wire instead of a 4 wire to power the box, how would you suggest to wire up the contactor portion of your diagram?
