So I'm trying to wire a very basic PID controller. this one: http://www.susanminor.org/Rayeimages/pid/diagram.jpg
I've made things difficult by acquiring an Automations Direct 4848 RR ( http://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/What-s-s_New/Process_Controls/SL4848-RR-D )
I also ordered a Auber 40A SSR. The problem with this is my SSR looks nothing like the one on the auber site. I ended up with this one
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/488355006/original_mager_brand_40A_SSR.html
Thus far in my wiring attempts I have managed to get both the PID and SSR to power on but haven't been able to get them to switch the element on (yes the pid is programmed) I've tried wiring like the diagram shows but I think inbetween the different SSR and the different PID I have some serious problems. If someone could help me out by:
1. Where does the female power cords hot line go into the SSR?(1,2,3, or 4)
2. Where does the male power cords hot line go into the SSR?(1,2,3, or 4)
3. Where does the line opposite the female power cord go into the PID at? (1-12)
4. Where does the line opposite the male power cord go into the PID at? (1-12)
5. Where do the other 2 PID wires go in at? (the two lines connected to the terminal strip at the hot(black?) line and neutral(white?) line go into the PID at? (would this be the input or output even?) (1-12)
6. My male powercord has green(ground?) Brown(hot?) and blue(neutral?) lines inside of it rather than black, white and green. Have I assigned the colors correctly?
