LED with SYL-2352 PID

[bigwheat]

I'm pretty much done with my new electric brewery build. The very last piece that's left that I cannot figure out - I have an LED that I want to light up whenever the output for the controller, a SYL-2352 from Auber, turns on. I have a neutral running to the LED direct from a terminal block where the neutral comes into the box. Then I'm running the other line to one of the alarm outputs on the controller (position 1). I know this isn't correct. Basically, when the output light turns on, on the controller, I just wanted a bigger light, hence the LED. Is this possible? Any hints on getting it to work?

Here's my new brewery... running an autotune on the PID tonight, and moving water back and forth.

Do you have 110v or 220v LED?

If it 110V connect one contact to SSR output (wich going to heater ) and keep second connected to neutral. If its 220v connect your LED parallel to heating element.

^This. Also if you have a 220 LED (very likely) I think the easiest connection is from the contactor output. SSRs leak a little current, contactors don't.

Edit: I see you have one indicator. In that case you should wire the LED from the INPUT to the contactor (or the SSR output, same thing) like the guy above said. There may be a little leakage but you'll know when the element is firing. What I said above is for TWO indicators, if you did that with one you'd probably draw over 30amps, my bad.

Perfect. Yep, it's just one, and it's 110. Thanks for the help!

Could you use either of these wiring methods to wire an indicator for use with a SSVR?

Yes I found the indicator light stays on very faintly from the leakage...
