Nobade,

I am the one that asked. Thank you.

Sometimes function and form are the primary considerations. I do not think it looks that bad.

Make sure your TC is not touching the bottom or edges of your pot. Then fill your melter with alloy to about 3/4 full and look through your Auber controller instructions to start the auto tune...

Use your favorite search engine and put in home brew PID. The beer guys have been using PID's for some time with different types of heat sources including modulated valves.

You might be really surprised. Don't do anything dumb until you know the value. What is the serial number?? Such as 123XX.

The typical configuration for a dual voltage heating element is to have two segments with three connection points. The segments can be connected in series or parallel...

As you work through this issue I recommend you focus on that banana plug adapter as part of your problem and get it completely out of the circuit. The two terminals on the back of the PID...

Nicely done! The unit will provide you years of service.

el34,

No, never have had that much of a differential. I have built three using the Auber controller and Auber thermocouples. As part of the building process I would check the temperature with...

I use a RCBS LAM-2 to size and lube 40 cal bullets for BPCR Silhouette. These bullets are 1.365 inches long and clear easily. I would estimate the maximum bullet length to approach 1.5 inches for...

A couple of pictures of what you have would be helpful. Also knowing the power draw (volts and amps) for the heating element would be necessary for any type of temperature controller.

bosterr,

Do you still have the Pb offset programmed into your controller? If you are using the short wire and comparing to ambient you should have Pb set to zero.

DougF

bosterr,

A couple of other things can introduce an error in temperature readings. One is the setting in the PID controller for the type of thermocouple you are using. Most likely you are using a...
