Subject: 1 idiot trying to hook up a pid controller.
|
Here is my problem. I am an idiot when it comes to electronics.
I can build you a pc from sctratch no problem.
Wiring and diagrams and such not a clue.
So I had a fuji pxr3 controler hooked it up to a power cable and it
blew up.
Not wanting repeat the same mistakes again I refer to the more wiser of
you in the group.
I thought you could hook up a regular power cable to a pid and plug it
into the wall and it should power on.
Also I have an ssr. I understand one end of the ssr needs to be wired
to the pid that is all fine. There are 2 wires coming from my heating
element I understand they need to be wired to theother side of the ssr
as well. Can I connect them directly to the ssr? If so how does the ssr
get power from the pid? I know the thermal probe is hooked to the pid
input I am good with that.
Just missing some pieces. Someone please help a moron here trying to
get this right. I ordered a new controller with fuzz logic do I need
the ramp soak features yes no.
The cotroller can be configured reverse action so i do know what that
is about.
Thanks Jason Casale
