Need some help with auber pid

[abarker8541]

I have read the 'instructions' on this pid but im still not getting it. I set the 'sn' to 21 for my rtd probe but its not readingthe temp. Any advice???

What is it doing? You arent giving us much to work with.

Im trying to give as much info as possible. I just powered up my control panel....i have used a pid before but apparently it was already programmed. Im trying to get the pis to read the temp of the liquid. I havent autotuned or done any programming to it yet

 

[iijakii]

So you changed it to PID setting.. what does it read?

 

[abarker8541]

I held the button to get into the settings yes. For now it just reads orAL orAL on sv and pv...

Either:

It's not on the right probe setting
The probe isn't plugged in
The probe isn't wired to the PID correctly.

Check your wiring. The PID isn't seeing the probe. It's not that it isn't reading temp correctly, it isn't seeing the probe.

I can't help but I can say that as long as the rest works i would use handheld and brew. I have only used mine once and didnt use probe but i can see where it would be convenient. I like cleaning my kettle without anything in it. It has a special error code for probe are you getting that

Are the rtd sensors plugged in? Have you checked the wiring to them?

 

[abarker8541]

Yes the rtd pt100 sensor is plugged in and the wiring is correct

 

[jrcrilly]

Yes the rtd pt100 sensor is plugged in and the wiring is correct

Then either the PID, the RTD cable, or the RTD is defective.

...or you didn't really select "21" for the sensor when you thought you did.

Do you get error code

this has happened to me a couple times with the cheap stainless braided probe wires... I went through 3 of them where the wires would eventually develop shorts at the probe end... Went with most robust teflon shielded cables / quick disconnect pt100 probes and all is good now... if your getting all UUUU then something is wrong with the wiring or probe connection.

your in the settings menu and thats not where you need to be to just set a temp setpoint... sorry im not familier with the auber units but on mine I just hit the set button and scroll to the digit I want to change then hit set again...

maybe do a search on youtube for auber pid and see if any tutorials come up?

Call them they're really nice I did because I didn't want to read the manual which I did anyways. Be ready to decipher a pretty thick accent but they're helpful
