Hopefully you are using it to control an SSR with it an external power supply.

Auto tuning does help with the ramping of the element , but you might want to look at your cycle (R) to 1 sec

Linny wrote:that PID wont control a SSR , you have to modify it since the output is a relay (like the SSR) and not a 12vdc SSR like it should say
punchy21 wrote:I was thinking that too but wouldnt PID stay off if the temp is below set point?
Linny wrote:So you have modded and removed the relay in the PID ? Yes.... if so , do you have a schematic or mud map how its all wired up
mickiboi wrote:If its getting to temperature and then staying on it sounds like you have the control action set wrong. It should be on 100% until it reaches temperature and then it should start to pulse on and off to maintain temperature. You may have the controller set for cooling, not heating. Change setting SL6 and see if that helps.
