Have a look at 2.6, it state there is a relay at 240v 3Amp which is no good for switching elements

And there is a 12v output for cotrolling SSR's.

All the ssr i have seen have a 3 to 24v input signal.
I have read in on the net that some ebay sellers describe they can handle ssr but when use it the relay burns out. The mod i mentioned earlier is easily removes the mechanical relay so that it can control the ssr. But that is for the rex c100.
I i have yet to get mine and mod. :D
Hopefully your pid is what you paid for. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

He doesn't need to remove a relay, Ben's device controls the SSR with out relay.

The relay is an extra output low current 240 volt switching.
