Sorry I have been away. Temps will be around 300 . I want to turn on my main disconnect and have the power go to a on off on switch . The (on/off/on DPDT) switch adjacent to the timer allows for manual or timed mode. In the off position the elements are disabled but the PID is energized for...

Hi doug293cz , Can you tell me one that will work ? At this point I am stuck and can't do anything.I should have studied it further , but in the end it still would have confused me. Some days my brain works great others I can't add .Tell me what will do the job and draw me the diagram and I...

I am still stuck on this . I have finished up other projects like sandblaster and a miserable fight with a compressor so am ready to get back to something gentler like wiring . Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Broken Crow, Lol , Don't worry I have some myself. Yes , I read that thread and it looks close to another diagram that I have been working from which has the same layout for timer ; in a circle with only 8 connections .I just don't know enough about the timer to be sure my connections would...

OK I put this together from someone else's idea and changed parts to use for a few applications .I have been seeing the people on here being so helpful and smart so I am here for help . I am not an electrician or anything but I like to tinker. Can anyone tell me if it will work without...
