Heated mash water worked fine. Went to boil
This what i get.
PV Goes to 1176.
AL 1 light goes on
..Shuts down Element .. No boil..
Then blinks back and forth
I Changed the alarm setting too 2000. light will turn off but nothing.

I am by means an expert but I would start with looking at your temp probe (RTD or thermocouple) and its connection.
 
Here is what the manual says:
8.1 Display orAL
This is an input error message. The possible reasons are: the sensor is not
connected correctly; the input setting is wrong type; or the sensor is defective.
In this case, the instrument terminates its control function automatically, and
the output value is fixed according to the parameter OUTL. If this happens
when using thermocouple sensor, you can short terminal 4 and 5 with a copper
wire. If the display shows ambient temperature, the thermocouple is defective.
If it still displays orAL, check the input setting, Sn, to make sure it is set to the
right thermocouple type. If the Sn setting is correct, the controller is defective.
For RTD sensors, check the input setting first because most controllers are
shipped with the input set for thermocouples. Then check the wiring. The two
red wires should be connected to terminals 3 and 4. The clear wire should be
connected to terminal 5.


Sounds like you might have a wiring issue with the RTD.

Suyi Liu out of town till next week. Spoke to another person, who gave me
numbers to test probe and wires for resistance. Time to breck out the old multimeter. Test the probe at room temp, he said.
Great,What a waste of a day."Dumping" as i type .
And i still have to clean this **** UP..

Thanks.. Saw that, I checked before calling.For RTD sensors
I have it set correct.
 
Why dump? Jumper the sensor inputs on the PID and use manual mode to boil. What a waste!

Thats what i thought but.
When i powerup/turn on the PID..
The PV goes to 11776, starts flashing "orAL"
And cant get to manual mode.
 
Even when jumping the temp inputs? Again, I'm no expert but that sounds like the PID has shlt the bed. Sorry to hear that man.
