I know this is really really late and I'm sure you already got your answers but if not just let me know. I really do apologize for missing this, I rarely logon to the board these days.

Resolved the issue by rewiring the controllers using the positive 24v supply. Now all controllers operate independently of each other.
Also, I purchased a standard non-adjustable regulator from Home Depot and while it worked find it made my time to boil really slow. I think I'll likely go...
Have a bit of a wiring snafu and need some advice. Need to separate my neutrals so the valves operate independently of each other. Right now three pid's share both the positive and neutral side of the secondary side of the neutral. What's happening is that the controller kicks off the burner...
Figured out the problem, too high of lp pressure to the valves.i got the burners going but they obviously need adjusting as the flame pulsates. Also have a concern that when the pid kicks the burner off there's still a fire in the cast burner housing; I'm using those 10" bayou burners. I'm...
ClaudiusB,
Not sure if you have an answer for this but here goes. I was testing the operation tonight, setting up the pressure and burn quality when the valves stopped working. Now when I kick on the power to the valve it just makes a constant chatter and doesn't open. I checked voltage to...
Oh, yes I did purchase everything from Auberins, I should have done that from the start instead of buying 2 Extech's from eBay to match the one I already had, would have saved me time and allowed me to brew this last weekend... live and learn.

Thanks ClaudiusB, that was nearly the same from the Extech, nice I didn't have to re-wire the whole flipping thing. I now have to set my input and output valve on the honeywell so the burner burns clean and then I should be good to go. Thanks for all your help, I'll post some pictures of the...
I finally completed all my wiring and plumbing and didn't realize that the model Extech's I have will not read RTD's so I'm purchasing the Auberins SYL-2342. What sort of wiring change do I need to make to get these to work? I imagine I still need the DC transformer but do not need a SSR...
Sorry, just realized after switch I need to run tge positive to pid terminal 8 before terminating at the TR pin. Likewise I need to run the negative to pid terminal 9 before terminating at the TH pin, correct?
John
Thanks for the guidance Claudius. When reviewing the manual the terms"pulsed" and "SSR" was throwing me off. Just want to make sure I understand the wiring correctly.
1. Wire the positive from the dc to a switch, then to the TR pin on the honeywell.
2. Wire the negative from the dc directly...
Need a little assistance wiring up an Extech 48VTR PID controller to a Honeywell VR8200a2132. I understand that the 110AC connects to terminal 6 & 7 and my RTD connects to 1, 2 & 3 but I don't understand which terminals to wire the Honeywell valve going through the DC transformer. I don't...
