Ebay SSR

Unscrew and remove the whole 1/2" threaded section and look in the tip where the probe pokes through. There is a tiny o ring that is what seals. I used my system today with these probes and there were no leaks at all on any probes. To move the spring twist it. it comes off very easy.

I see it now. To be fair it was an extremely slow leak, couple drops an hour maybe, but still.

Just received the probe in the mail. Holy crap - seems like its built like a tank. I expected some kind of flimsy cord covering but it seems very well made.

I will report back once I get my PID installed and figure out how to wire this thing

so i wired it up - I have an omega pid and the probe is reading a few degrees high. I think i need to work out the settings on the pid.

Im sure someone already knows this here - I'm not sure what this type of probe is - I need to set up my PID to read from a specific type of probe.

this is an RTD right? any other info i should know?

the manual for my PID is here http://www.omega.com/Manuals/manualpdf/M1303.pdf

help?

It'd a pt100 type rtd

with some help from Omega controls customer service engineers I was able to get the PID and RTD to match up - I also got the PID to play nicely with the SSR and I got everything done in my control panel except cutting the hold for the PID itself - which scares me a bit but I am going to go try it - my panel is just a cheap plastic tool box so worst case I have to get another one.

Just a question, why omega instead of the auber?
Also to cut the hole, I marked it out, drilled a hole in each corner then used a dremel to cut. Use a file to clean it up and get the corners square.

why omega? I got two omega PID's on here for 8 bucks each with the same capabilities as an auber pid. I haven't run the system yet - almost got the whole thing together in the panel - now I need to put all the fittings on my keggles tomorrow.

Well, that explans it, when I looked and saw their retail prices for I wonder why too.

yeah - I was a bit worried as they were so cheap - until tonight I wasn't sure they would even turn on. But the unit i built into my panel runs the ssr and gets a good read from the probe - hopefully Saturday I will give the system its premier run through. .

they are stupid expensive though - I got a cn76020 model and a micromega controller - really pricey new - around 200. not sure why i got mine so cheap but I am happy so far.
