Rex-c100 a mistake?

[Sepanik1986]

Just purchased this thing on amazon after watching a couple positive reviews and after looking for some diagrams on wiring I think I just made a dumb choice. Anyone else have on that can help ease my mind. It'll be for a rims tube.

it will work for a rims if you bought one of the clones with the SSR control and not relay output... they only have Celsius output though...

The Mypin Ta4 would have been my first choice for rims control if I were on a budget.

There is a thread that discusses these. I didn't read through it but it is 19 pages so you are likelyto find all the info you need.

It comes with an ssr relay and a temp probe. I will admit I was pretty drunk when purchasing.

I bought the same kit as my first pid... may want to ditch the thermocouple and buy a pt100 sensor with a threaded base so you can use that directly.

Would you be able to link one? I did a search but there were so damn many.

this one would work too but doesnt have the disconnect http://www.ebay.com/itm/RTD-Pt100-1...943924?hash=item41b9d9f7b4:g:ztEAAOSwa~BYUORL

Sweet! Thank you. I'll set this in my list of things to pick up.
