Auber SYL-2352 setup question

[pp270]

when powering up the PID it flashes At repeatly. From reading the manual I see the At stands for auto tune, but don't know why it flashes repeatly on power up. The out green led is also lit. The red light on the SSR is also on which I assume means the relay is on.

Also if someone knows what all the initial settings should be that would be appreciated as well.

The settings for that PID are posted here on HBT somewhere. Are you using it to boil?

 

[pp270]

If someone could post the link to the settings and address my "At" flashing problem in the previous post I would really appreciate it. I am kind of stuck at this point.

 

[pp270]

yes I am using it to boil

Wish I still had my PID and my manual, it would be easy to rattle off the settings for you... dangit

Do you have the temperature probe attached?

You have to enable manual control in the settings on that PID, it is not enabled by default.
Link to manual http://auberins.com/images/Manual/Manual version 3.4.pdf
Also look at the bottom of this page you will see links for similar threads, I think you will find what you are looking for.

After the auto tuning is finished. The instrument will set parameter “At” to 3, which will disable triggering of auto-tuning with the (A/M) key. This will prevent an accidental repeat of the auto-tuning process

I am not sure why it is not setting "At" to 3 after it is complete.

Go into your settings and set "At" to 3, this should disable auto-tuning.

switching the st to 3 worked. I still have a problem with the 220 line shorting out when plugging in the heater. Before the SSR turns on both outputs measure 120V. Shouldn't just one of the outputs measure 120V until the ssr switches?

 

[enid]

There is only one output on the ssr (T1). There is your low voltage side for switching (A1+ &A2-), your hot line in (L1), and your hot line out (T1). You should have 120V going to your heater and the other 120V line going to L1 on ssr. When pid switches ssr it will let the 120V go through L1 and out T1 on the ssr, you will then have 240V to heater.

 

[pp270]

That is how I have it wired. What is strange is before the SSR switches I have 120V at both T1 and L1 and 120V at both legs of the heater plug in. If the heater is plugged in and the SSR switches I through a breaker. Any thoughts?

Shorted out heater element. Disconnect wires from element and check for continuity between ground and each terminal.

 

[pp270]

that would make sense, but if I plug the heating element directly into the wall it works fine so it has to be something in the box. Any other ideas?
