Hello,
Wondering if anyone can offer any insight as to how I should be wiring the boil controller for the setup in this guide:
https://www.skrilnetz.net/how-to-build-a-brewing-control-panel-herms-240v-30-amp/
I'm ended up getting a DSPR-120 to operate boiling (the guide calls for the DSPR1), but I'm getting some odd behavior when trying to set up this as the controller.
The main problem I am having is that when the Boil element is selected, there is no power sent to the element through my contactor **when the element is plugged in**. When I have no cable's plugged into my Boil kettle receptacle, power is sent, LED power indication goes on to that receptacle. It seems like something to do when the element is actually attached…maybe..
I’m also getting on my DSPR-120 an error code 'orAL' and 'PrAL'. This shows up not matter what I do. Typically means a bad sensor, or RTD wiring.
So, I’ve checked that. Some tests I have run:
So It's a behavior that only comes up when I have an element actually attached (via 240V boil receptacle).
Any wiring diagrams you can send would be helpful. Any insights, anything. Help!
Thank you!

- The element runs fine when plugged into the HLT receptacle, so I have confirmed that cable and element are functional.
- The XLR cables have been swapped around and tested, those are functional.
- The RTD cables within the box, have been swapped to the SYL-2352 PIDs to test XLR receptacle and RTD cables, again they worked fine.
So It's a behavior that only comes up when I have an element actually attached (via 240V boil receptacle).
