I finally decided that I needed a PID to control pot temperature and thought I would give the Rex C100 unit a try.
After reading several threads regarding these units I purchased a unit from China. And waited, and waited and waited for delivery. The unit arrived, and I discovered, to my dismay, that all Rex C100 units are not alike. (proving once again that a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing ) There are SEVERAL different models. Some have physical differences, some have electronic differences. Some are made in China and some in Japan.
Cutting to the chase, the one I purchased is either not suitable for my needs or is defective. It will NOT setup according to the directions. So that I wont make another purchasing mistake I am asking for information that I should have gotten before buying.
So here is what I need:
1. What is the model number of the unit that you have?
2. Is it made in China or Japan?
3. Does it work satisfactorily in your CASTING application? (controlling a lead pot is all I will be using it for)
Mine is a Rex C100FK02-V*AN DA If you have this model and have made it work I sure would like to talk to you!
Thanks in advance for your input!!
