PID manual mode

Post by jaroporter » Mon Nov 13, 2017 2:23 pm

well my PWM controller has got an issue with it, so i wanna try to switch in the manual mode on my inkbird/sestos PID for today's boil. struggling to get it set up. even though i'm just controlling power output and not temperature, does it still need a pt100 connected to function?
any other setting that needs changing from pid mode? i can get into manual run mode no problem, and change the m value (power set value i believe), but nothing is showing up on the SSR.

any thoughts majorly appreciated before i start desperately hacking electrical shıt together to try and drop my elements power!
