What procedure would one follow to control a 240V heating element with a LOVE controller? If you could please provide an electrical schematic to help visualize the technique.
I pretty much understand how to use a PID (e.g., Auber), SSR, and heating element together. The main reason for my understanding is the vast wealth of information on this website pertaining to that concept. I was just trying to figure it out using a LOVE controller instead of a PID.
I assume the following would be true: I would use a power relay that is controlled by the LOVE, the relay would handle up to 30 amps.
Would a float switch be required to make sure the LOVE controller doesn't turn on if it calls for heat and there's not enough liquid present? If so/not, how is this all connected together and connected to the heater element.
Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers!
