Auber pid problem

[Wheelspin]

Maybe one of you tech boffinbs can helpt me.

I have a new Suber SYL 2352 PID that does not want to seem to switch the Auber 40 amp SSR on.

If I input eg a set value of 68C and the current temp is say 15C, the OUTput light stays off and no power (checked with mulitmeter) is going to the SSR.

I have a RTP 100 probe and have set the probe type to 21. Unit is getting power and and wired up correctly. **

Is it a simple setting or is the unit faulty ?

I'd really appreciate an urgent reply as I need to brew tomorrow.

Thank you

Is your ssr under load, do you have your element plugged in?

Hi Mill Doggy

Thanks. Yes it is and i've just tested for continuity, all good.

Any other ideas ????

I would compare your settings to this.

Are you on manual mode with 0 set?

Further to milldoggy - are you sure it is set for heating and not cooling, this is by the "COOL" parameter - details from the manual below (or as per theelectricbrewery - set to 10 for heating and Fahrenheit)

4.14 “COOL” for Celsius, Fahrenheit, Heating, and Cooling Selection
Parameter “COOL” is used to set the display unit, heating or cooling, and
alarm suppression. Its value is determined by the following formula:
COOL=AX1+BX2+CX8
A=0, reverse action control mode for heating control.
A=1, direct action control mode for cooling control.
B=0, without alarm suppressing when turned on or when set point changes.
B=1, alarm suppressing at power up or set point changes.
C=0, display unit in ºC.
C=1, display unit in ºF.
The factory setting is A=0, B=1, C=1 (heating, with alarm suppression, display
in Fahrenheit). Therefore,
COOL=0X1+1X2+1X8=10
To change from Fahrenheit to Celsius display, set COOL=2
