Hi all,
I'm new to HBT. I've just completed a project: a PID temperature controller using a Sestos PID controller, a GFCI receptacle and a 25A SSR. I did not put a switch in the box, nor is the GFCI connected to ground. Does this matter? I've tried it and it holds temperature pretty well. I haven't been able to auto-adjust it yet, I've tried setting it to ON/OFF, then turning it back to PID and then pressing the auto-adjust button but no flashing auto-adjust happens. There is actually a setting in the functions that says 'auto-adjustment' but when I turn it to that setting nothing happens. It doesn't help that the instructions seem to be a literal translation from chinese. Also, when it runs it seems to run one degree hotter than the set value I have it, I've checked the thermocouple against another I have and they both read the same value. If anyone has any experience with these I'd sure appreciate some help as this is my first DIY project
