    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    That's good enough for me! When the switch is on and the SSR is closed the outlet is powered and the pilot light is on. When the relay is open and the switch is off, the pilot is on... I'd rather it not be, but I can totally live with it because I can see that my switch is in the off position...

    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    Hmmm... There's only screws for A1, B1, and common. So I have hot coming into A1, and on the opposite side I have common going to my switch, and also a jumper going across to B1. The Common side is only one screw, which is also bridged to the indicator opposite of B1. I'm going to try to post a...

    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    Thank you guys so much for the information! It was the stupidest mistake... I had the SSR hooked up totally wrong... It was basically inline between the PID and outlet. I didn't even have 120 going to it. DOH!!! It's working fine now! All that is left to do now is figure out how to wire a 3 way...

    Hey Brumateur, it's the SNR type. This is the exact one I ordered. http://amzn.com/B0087O6S2A

    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    Thanks so much for the responses everyone. This is exactly what I had thought. If the light on the SSR is lit, I should have power across pin 1 and 2 of my SSR. When I put my meter between both of those output pins it only reads 2mV, almost nothing coming off of those pins. So is that indeed a...

    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    So I tried to attach a photo, I don't have a diagram drawn up. Hopefully you can see how the SSR is hooked up to the PID clear enough. I just took a meter to the output of the SSR and I get like 2mV :( , 22VDC on the input side. Is this a sure sign of a bad SSR? Edit: I guess it won't let me...

    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    Thanks for the response augiedoggy. I don't even know what's going on right now... I unplugged my PT-100 and heard the SSR click... But not when I adjust the temperature lower than the current temp, even though the out1 light comes on. I pulled the cover off of my panel and the light on the...

    Mypin TA4 not triggering heating element

    I just finished building my control panel for my RIMS, still need to fix my leaky RIMS tube. When I plug my t-100 probe into my controller, I can see that my set value is 100F, but the outlet for my element never gets powered. Before I get into troubleshooting the wiring, is there anything I...

    Possible to convert Sanke to Corny?

    Eh idk, they're site is broken, when you go to check out it says they are having problems connecting to their merchant :( no kegerator for me. I just heard that a local brew shop is selling them from $250 - $300 though!

    Possible to convert Sanke to Corny?

    Hey everyone, I found an amazing deal on a kegco kegerator from voyodel.com, it's got two taps and it's only like $140! I looked a bit closer and it looks like it's set up for Sanke. I would imagine it should be very easy to modify it for my pin lock corny keg, no? Thanks in advance...

    Please help me with my RIMS build.

    So I live in an apartment so I'm kind of stuck with what is already installed for circuitry... I'd like to build and electric RIMS, and for the time being continue using my electric stove for HLT and Boil. I'm thinking about building something that will run on 120V 20A, using this for my PID...

    Blowoff evaporated before Airlock

    Thanks for your help everybody. Unfortunately due to high fermentation temp, there is a horrible bitter after taste, very different from what my scotch ale should taste like. Back to the brewery.

    Blowoff evaporated before Airlock

    Forgot to mention that it fermented at about 80F. Is it still worth bottling? Thanks!

    Blowoff evaporated before Airlock

    Hey all, I waited way too long to put my airlock on my fermenter and the water/sanitizer in the blowoff evaporated, exposing my beer to the air. This happened after a few weeks, so there was already alcohol. It's been like that for months now out of sheer laziness/fear of contamination. Is my...
