I just built a PID controller using a PID donated to me (Red Lion T48). I believe it is wired correctly, but when I plug a lamp or Lee lead furnace into it, I'm not getting light or heat. I then plugged in a volt meter and am seeing 95.2 volts going to the output.
2 questions:
1) would 95.2 V be too low to power on the lamp or furnace? (meaning the PID is working correctly, but just doesn't have the output power set correctly?)
2) if the above is too low, what needs to be configured to up the output V? I see % Output Power, which looks likely, but the docs say "Appears only if unit is in Manual Control". The manual then describes "Manual Control" as "and Manual Control (openloop; where the control does not work from the setpoint or process feedback.)"
