hello all
i am looking to convert my rig to electric using a simple, single PID setup.
Does anyone see any problems with running a single Auber 2362 PID & SSR to control my HLT/HERMS element in automated mode? I actually have a second 2362 i could use to monitor the mash temp.
After the sparge, I would unplug the HLT element and plug in the BK element, and then switch the PID to manual mode for the boil.
This also means that I would only have to wire up 1 element receptacle in my control box.
Please let me know if anyone sees any issues with this.
Also, can someone please explain what a contactor is? I would like my setup to have a physical disconnection option. Is this what a contactor can do? How does it compare to a mechanical relay or regular switch?
Thanks!
Jason
