I see lots of guys are using the rex c100, It says 0-400C Is 752 f hot enough ?

Yes, it is! But beware, it's celsius only.

Just be careful about the PIDs sold on ebay as some of them do not have an SSR output and some others only work on celsius (which is not a problem to me).
There's a few tutorials on youtube and other forums to convert a PID that does not have an SSR output to work with an SSR but given the fact that they all cost almost the same I would buy the right PID and avoid the extra burden.
Your PM messages won't let you accept more till you clear things out. Just tried to send you one.
Is it actually the PID that is 400C or is it the thermocouple that comes with it?
My Rex C100-FK07 is rated to 1372C, but came with a 400C thermocouple. If you get a FK02 PID, then you are stuck with the 400C max temp.
Here is a chart depicting to temperature ranges for different models.

Actually you can get into the parameters and kick that 400° up easily. Mine are set at 450°
I cleaned it out.Quote:

I seem to be the only one to use it, as every time this type of post comes up, no one else mentions the JLD-612.
I originally choose it, because of the easy to read/understand manual.

In fact, while this PID can used in a hundred different applications, the last page of this manual has a "device application example" that matches our use with a high temp furnace and includes a electrical schematic and sample parameters.
Temp range is 0-1999ºF
While it's made in China, I bought it through "Light Object" (a USA seller) for $32 and it has a 6 month warranty.
(The first PID I bought was a different manufacturer and shipped from China and was defective and that $19 was basically flushed down the toilet).
For a couple bucks more these guys have a polished product. https://www.auberins.com/index.php?m...=index&cPath=1
So if i buy a PID control say for a 20# lee pot i would also need SSR and wire accordingly with pig tail 115 volt plug?
Ok i just found the answer in the sticky section thanks.
Thanks for posting this, this is a nice site, never heard of them before. Great selection of parts and kits. Wish I had seen this before I started cutting holes in my enclosure.Quote:

Used the mypins myself. And yes, you should have a SSR to work with it. Keeps low voltage where it needs to be and high were it should be...
