I quite like the look of the red panel switch that you used for the reset. Could I just use to separate switches red and green ?

[barneey]

Yep, just means an extra hole, just search for 22mm momentary switch on ebay, they come in a range of colours.

Clive have you managed to get your PIDs past the orAL display yet?

[barneey]

Yep, i`ve done a few tests with a temp probe wired into the back of the PID & everything worked / still needs to be tuned etc but cant really do that until everything is in place. You having troubles?

[Belter]

All sorted now cheers. Confusion between the two manuals. Really pleased I set my timer, after a few seconds it powered the panel and the PIDs were trying to heat. Need to learn how to tune them like you say but it's progress. I powered the unit then realised my 'Sparge over-ride' which powers one boiler elements and one HLT element to set the boil going after the first batch sparge was back feeding and pulling the relay in constantly. Simple fix but I don't have a N/O Telemech Contact to hand. Hopefully get one by Friday, mod the panel, get it mounted on the wall in the garage then it's time to clean the garage to make room for the brewstand!!!!!!

I may.... .....I say may..... be brewing by my birthday on the 30th... Of May... May.

Do you still have any 240 buzzers ?

[Belter]

Thanks Lee what's the damage ?

[Belter]

A little more progress today, still have to sort out the Din rails + jumpers and will need another couple of relays.

I`m waiting on the sensors + 1 more powercon connector to arrive early next week.

The SSR are in postion albeit the 4th one is a bit os a squeeze so may have to move that one.

Any comments welcome on the layout of the board or possible ideas of another / better layout?

Hi Clive,

What are you using the 2 MCB's top left for ? are these used for the elements ?

[Belter]

Looks like a double pole main isolator to me?

[barneey]

Yep thats what it is

[Deller12]

How many amps is that isolator Clive ?

[barneey]

Its a DZ47LE-63 30ma I do also have several other devices before the box rated to 40amps, the one inside the box was more of a fail safe option just encase.

Cheers
