JVD - do you happen to have a source for your true 1/2" connectors?
Do you have any issued with flow converting from 1/2 to 3/8 and then back to 1/2? I just noticed that the QD on that part is 3/8. Thanks!

So if I wanted to cut the power to the element with a switch would I want to put that in between the PID and SSR?
Hey Pol, Shuttle sucks, Republic is better! J/k Grettings from down the road.
Nice job! I think my eyes are starting to bleed as well. I've seen this post for quite a while just never clicked on it. Glad I did. In the process of building a brutus stand and gave me somethind else to think about/ incorperate.
Once again, nice job.
Pol - Did you put fuses on both sides of the SSR and PID?
Me? No.
I have seen people doing this recently, though at the time of my build, it wasnt common. I dont know why.
My experience is the same. So far, so good.
So are you just placing them on the line side of the SSR and PID and that's it?
What happens to the Auber PID when you unplug the thermocouple, and then plug it in again? Will it go instantly back to controlling the system, or is there some sort of reset that needs to happen?
Outstanding, that is what I wanted to hear.
Would there be any issue with having two thermocouples on a toggle switch to change my control point? Would the toggle switch change how the thermocouple is read?

Definitely won't work. A thermocouple is a junction between two different metals. Those dissimilar metals must exist through the entire path. So unless the toggle switch is made of chromel and alumel, it will ruin the reading. An RTD might work OK through a switch but I've no first-hand experience.

Passedpawn:
How hot does your PID get? I use two K thermocouples in my system and have never had a problem with them. I have a floating thermometer in the mash tun for corroboration. Maybe your electrical enclosure needs better cooling?
I am hoping, and that is all that it is at this point, that I will have cad drawings and schematics for my new build. Again, hoping... playing with a couple CAD applications now.
Just wanted to make a quick comment about your parts list that I ran into.
The PID you have spec'd is SYL-2352. The '5' specifies a Relay output. It should be SYL-2342 where the '4' specifies an SSR output.
Luckily when my mom ordered the parts for Christmas, the Auber guy let her know that I needed the SYL-2342 based on what she was ordering and that's what I got. Just heads up to anyone copying this system like me
Must have gotten stuff backwards. (Don't have my parts in front of me at work) but knew there was something with the part numbers. I must have written the number down wrong originally from your post to give to her. I do have the SSR output PID.
I thought for sure you did a thread similar to this for you EHLT. I cannot find it to save my life if you did. Is there a write up? No big if not, but I know I got these part numbers from somewhere
