I have a Kal clone built from a kit, and I seem to have everything running properly except for the PID alarm. They are the Auber SYL-2352. The top number in red all read around 62*F, as I haven’t calibrated them to my Thermopen. The bottom number in green I can change and set. The elements fire and hold the temp to my set point.
What I can’t get working is the alarm. I’ve checked my wiring three times and it’s been checked by a journeyman electrician. The alarm goes off for the timer so I know it works.
I set the first ALARM 1 at 135*F, and set ALARM 2 at 70*F. With the water at roughly 60*F I should get an alarm, and with the set point at 140*F I should get an alarm one I hit set point. The issue I see is that the PID doesn’t show a light coming on for ALM1 or ALM2. All of this leads me to believe that the PID isn’t set right.
I have gotten the alarm to go off on the PIDs like 10 % of the time which is frustrating since it will work and then stop and I haven’t changed anything other than cycling the power on and off.
