Need help! Control Panel build for one pump and one 5500w element

[doug293cz]

I know this was a while ago but I am attempting to wire the one with the DSPR300. However as soon as I plug the panel box in the PID comes on. Any ideas why this may be happening to mine? I went over your design and my wiring and all seem to match. Is the PID drawing power from the NC terminal on the pump/element jumper?

The design you are using is supposed to operate that way. An EZBoil draws less than 0.05A, and direct plugging that small of a load is not an issue. Having the EZBoil light up when plugged in gives you an indication that the panel is plugged in and receiving power.

It is possible to modify the design so that the EZBoil does not power up until the main power switch is turned on. I have other designs waiting, so it will be a few days before I can get to this.
