    Photos of a ssr with heat sink - fan combo and "wall wart" or cheap accessory charger from China. Wall warts are used to charge any number of devices and to be the main power supply for others. The nice shiny metal side is to facilitate using some method of heat transfer. I do not doubt many...

    Not a probe, but a k type thermocouple.

    Last thing(s)... Heat sink, and what is the amperage rating on your SSR? Mine is 25 amps. I would really like to double check what your heater resistance in ohms is before you set this up... Also did you remember to put a fuse or circuit breaker in line? I forgot to take a pic showing the heat...

    PID malfunction?

    I am guessing this other link is the one I just responded to regarding the mypin and how to connect wires to the SSR? If so I have done so.

    By the way... you do have a heat sink on the SSR right? If not you will burn it out. If you do not know what I am talking about I will need to add some photos... I have tried to load a photo below, but I need to put it on the 'net and then link it. So I have a huge hosted account that I can do...

    Hi Okay here is what I think you are not doing; Take the "hot" side of the 115 volt lead to the first lead at the SSR and then take a second lead from the second lead of the ssr to the heater. The "ground" or return side of the 115 volt system should not be interrupted by any switch, but go...

    PID malfunction?

    You need an amp meter. You are measuring voltage which will not help as it looks to me like you have all your components hooked up. This is like having a pneumatic (air under pressure) system where by using an air ratchet some pressure is lost by doing work, ie making the ratchet spin. Measuring...

    PID malfunction?

    YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING VERY WRONG. You do not want to use this controller to power anything but a ssr or solid state relay and that will allow a better current from a power supply that can deliver the correct voltage AND amperage. I have tried to respond to your earlier questions but you have...

    mypin ta6 wiring

    Okay, I have been successful in setting up these Mypin controllers using 2 different K-type thermocouple designs. If mytmic or anyone else is still stuck on how to set this kind of controller up let me know and I can be clearer about what to connect where. For now I am going to assume there is...

    mypin ta6 wiring

    Or this link seems better; http://www.mypinchina.com/uploadfiles/201161494651265.pdf Also, TC is thermocouple, ssr and al1 are for a relay. Power is power... I am at a loss though to say anymore as your question would require a very long involved answer depending on what you are making and...

    If this link doesn't help you will need to learn more than I can possibly type here any time soon. If you are in or near St Pete, FL I am available. LINK: http://www.tradekr.com/cbuy_2980489_2011-ta-series-pid.htm
