I have an Inkbird PID, temp probe, junction box and SSR/heatsink. The PID is 100-240v AC, the SSR is 24-340V AC load with 3-32V DC. It looks like this:
I have a few questions. I'm thinking I'll test this as a 240v setup since I've got a 240 outlet in my brewing area. I don't want to invest a bunch more money in it for the initial test. I need a simple circuit. I'll need power input/output and an on/off switch. I'll probably just run the temp probe into the box with strain relief.
Also, do people normally install these with the heatsink mounted inside the box? The way this mounts to the SSR, that's the only way I can see to mount it. I could have the top plate of the heatsink on the outer edge of the box I think.
