George, you speaking emulates what goes through my head when I do this stuff. The fact that you drop tools and struggle with wires turning your parts on their side, is EXACTLY how these go together. Truly love your presentation. Its real... Keep it real George.....
Excellent tutorial! You shouldn't apologise for going too slow, that's just what most people need! Me especially! But I found your explanations and instructions very easy to follow. I need to watch it several times to get it set right in my head tho! Thanks again, from the UK.
George you are the Man! I've learned and am learning so much from you. Thank you. When I'm done with this overseas assignment in 2023 I would love to come by and visit if that's OK. My home of record is in Bandera and I'm in Germany right now. I started watching you when the pandemic began and all the Ethanol went away in my region so I had to learn very quickly how to make a quality sanitizer for my Military community. These folks were spraying bleach all over the place. I constantly tell the wife "well George said". I have a background in Chemistry and I have to brief folks on various topics and what you say is spot on. You are an excellent instructor.
I have said this before and I say it again, George, you really are easy to listen to, and you give me a great deal of confidence, you are a remarkable teacher!
Hi George, I needed to build a coating curing oven. Everyone said use a PID controller...I didnt want to mess with that. I found your channel to see what this PID thing was all about. Wow, you are awesome, simplified the entire process...Thank you so very much!!! I am on my way to a great operating oven....
this was perfect exactly what I needed to hook up my PID thanks it was a pain trying to find anyone with the proper knowledge and instruction (with a good explanation) to make it work. just finished wiring it up last night thanks to you.
One wire goes from Mains 110/ 240V straight to your fan heater etc the other from mains to the PID and it switched on and off by the PID...The PID tells the controller when to switch on or off your Fan/heater.....Best video I have seen and no KRAP noise booming in the foreground
Thank you. I just joined the inlet neutral (white) and neutral to outlet at junction 2. Your tutorial helped no end and very wise repeating and explaining things well.
I was absolutely impressed by your explanation and want to say thank you. I am trying to make a cooker that requires a specific temperature to operate with. Earlier I was using a ready made CTW thermostat controller; the kind that is used on pizza pans. however, I was not able to get the right operating temperature as it doesn't have a digital temperature setting dial. hence , while researching for a better temperature controller, I arrived on your You tube explanation which I found to be not only very easy to understand but also exactly what I wanted. I therefore owe you a million thanks. As mentioned by a fellow spectator, please do not apologize for repeating yourself. For a person like me even with a technical background, this is the kind of grass root explanation that I require to understand the fundamentals of how it works. Getachew
Thanks George - Great instructions on this controller and just what I was looking for. I went with a cheaper one this time. I like the InkBird but $40 wasn't in this budget build this time. I hope for $18 it lasts.
without a doubt the best and easiest to follow tutorial on wiring up one of these common little devices. you pretty much made it as simple as it will ever get. great job! one thing though you should mention though is the differences of wiring colour around the world. my main and neutral wires are brown and blue not white and black like the USA leads. but obviously if you dont know this then you should probably leave it to an electrician.
Always be safe George? Honestly mate when you were holding that pid with the hot connectors in your palm I thought I was watching Electroboom. Love ya man
I have always wondered why the Chinese who are obviously 'cleaver' at making these devices for 'peanuts' hardly ever supply a decent line drawing and further more that the terminal numbers match the line drawing. You are a gem when it comes to explaining these devices. I have sorted out quite a few faults in my time being a retired commercial heating engineer covering all fuels but I must say I always find it deplorable when good instructions are not given with any instrument that needs an explicit wiring diagram........ Very kind of you to give the excellent demo..... Can you believe how much these PID's cost? The postage seems to cost more than the controller!
This video is exactly what i was looking for. I have a Masterbuilt smoker that had all dead controls. The individual parts would have been as much as a new smoker. This video helped walk me through making a better control system at much less than it would have cost to repair the original equipment. Thank you so very much. If i may offer a small bit of constructive feedback. It would be helpful if you a wiring diagram overlay somewhere throughout the video, it's also likely I just missed it. Either way thank you so very much. Great video.
I've been meaning to do this for years and after watching this vid I finally decided to pull the trigger. I just got a few of these and they work great, couple of gotchas though the instructions that came with mine are poorly translated and full of typos. It took me about 30 min and 4 or 5 youtube videos to figure out how to reverse the action (for keeping temp in a fridge). That being said for the money these cost it's well worth the investment. One other thing, be sure to get the heat sinks and use some thermal paste on them, the SSRs do generate a fair amount of heat when you have a load on them keeping them cool will extend their life significantly.
Everyone should keep in mind, electrical code would say that needs to be on a 20A circuit as you can only load a circuit to 80%. It won't matter here but an inspector would be upset. Great video though! Very informative!
G’day George from ‘down under’ - pretty new to distilling and found your UA-cam channel - WOW ! So much great info - followed your videos step by step and built a PID - fantastic- works a treat! Have a great Christmas and have a great 2018
very well done, I really like the plug idea. I did the same thing but with 220 bit my experience wasn't as effortless as yours seem to be. keep up the good work
Thanks for this.. I fabricate car parts.. I'm not an electrician. I'm another one of the DIY powdercoat oven guys. I took a 4 drawer filing cabinet, fabricated a (110v) 1500W two-burner portable stovetop into the bottom and I'm running this C100. It's an ungrounded cooktop so I just replaced the receptical connections with the respective power cable wires. I wouldn't have gotten it right if I was left to my own devices.. lol Thanks again. Now its time to powdercoat some stuff bigger than the inside of a toaster oven.. ;)
Thanks for this video!! Exactly what I needed to wire my PID to the SSR. Their almost all wired up now except for half of the one. I ran out of wire. :-) Great video. Now I need to know how to wire the 22mm push button so it switchces the element on and off.
Great video and very helpful. Just a word of advice, considering you're plugging the PID system into a 15 amp circuit (that uses 14awg wire from the main breaker), using 12awg wire for your PID system is redundant. Also 120v heating elements are extremely inefficient and I would highly recommend using a 240v one.
Very nice tutorial. I know next to nothing about PID controllers, but I need to get involved. So I'm looking for tutorials to help me learn and get started. I'm subscribing to your channel!
Very good. Here are two playlists of our PID tutorials. You may find what you need here. Feel free to ask questions. ua-cam.com/video/En5Ewow4_tU/v-deo.html and also: ua-cam.com/video/jze4LTONq8s/v-deo.html
What an incredible video! You are the only person on youtube that shows the set up with such ease and detail. I really want to thank you for that. Could i please ask you one question? My brew kettle is 220v. Would you be so kind to tell me how you set it up for my bigger heating element.
Nice instructions. A few things- 1)even this is hobby, safety wise, it's best to follow colour convention ( brown/red for live), blue for neutral. 2) The way he is holding the rear unit with exposed live terminals is...dicing with death!
Just for the record, a thermocouple is not a resistance device, it is a voltage-inducing device. The PID actually senses the voltage produced by the dissimilar metal contact thermocouple. Dissimilar metals (if you know about plumbing which will corrode over time, such as a brass fitting on an iron pipe). The metal corrosion is a result of electron flow. This happens because any ambient heat in the atmosphere here on earth will be converted into an electrical voltage by the dissimilar metal contact point. A thermocouple is actually an electrical generator with the voltage directly related to presence of heat. It takes advantage of this phenomenon when used as a temperature sensor. The controller can put this voltage through a meter that can be marked for a temperature scale. The thermocouple isn't a very efficient generator so it's not used for any practical use other than as a temp sensor since it reliably and predictably varies in voltage output based on its temperature. It is true also that the conductivity of a wire will vary with its temperature, but that's not a thermocouple and is used in a very different manner.
Hey george, i found out instead of wiring in the light seperate, you can also use an extension cord with a lighted end for the heater element cable, so it will blink on and off when its receiving power.
Wonderful, clear and concise tutorial. There is just one thing I may have missed. Where does the heating element fit into this circuit? I'm currently building a heat treat oven. Thanks from the UK.
Barley and Hops Brewing Thank you George. Greatly appreciated. How do you find the rex-c100? I've read mixed reviews, some say it won't drive the SSR! Thanks again, Matt
hi i am from holland and wach your videos and you say you have to be carefull that the pot dont have a leak so vaper dont get out but the spirel from a boiler when you put it on can get red hot cant that not ge a problem to put that inside a pot ?
Hello, where I live, in Argentina, we have 220V between lines and a neutral, therefor between both hotlines we achieve 380V. I’d like to know if it’s feasible to connect the element between bothhot lines to get mor power. If so, in which PID’s terminals should I connect them. Thanks!! F
I have a berme rex c100. With the pins? I have 1,2, 3 and 4. no 5? but looks like 3 and 5 are the same?also missing the alarms. and number 8. Hooking up 300watt , cylinder mold heater to it. Very good video, thanks you. I will be doing it this weekend.
Hello sir great video and I like the way that you take the time to break everything down with an explanation of why it's being done that way. I have a question hopefully it doesn't sound to silly. I'm building a oven for applying Cerakote. My heat source is going to be an element from a oven. How would I wire that into the system that you showed in this video. Thank for doing these videos. I'm in the process of building one of these boxes now, I'm just a little unsure about this last step. Thank you sir.
Great video, question, you have a hot, neutral and ground running down the table to the floor you did not touch on. Where are these wires going? I would think the circuit breaker but i may be wrong.
Thanks for the videos. I like then a lot. It would be great if you could post the list of parts you used. Also, what kind of heating element do you use? Do you use a cooling element?
Concerning this PID with SSR... if I have a 10kw heating element, is there any way to decrease the frequency of the signal from the PID sent to the SSR before limiting my heating element to 9kw? For example, is there an option in the menu that allows 90% of the signal sent to the SSR instead of 100%? That would solve my problem.
By the way there is no reference to the heat sink..... Please can you say if the heat sink is crucial when the relay is fed by 110v and the controller is controlling at 200C. I would appreciate your help. I could check the temp as I have a laser thermometer if it is used without a heat sink. I've not got much room to fit a heat sink but if it's essential I could with difficulty fit it.
hi I like your explanation on the use of PID, I am just asking can I use this device as in incubator controller, and can it help in controlling the turning of the motor that used to turn the egg tray?
Great video I've been watching every video and downloaded 5 or 6 manuals for these PIDs and now am getting the idea of what PIDs do what and how to decode the model number. Whats the model of the PID you have? I found out the numbers past REX-C100 mean something. One minor point. Thermocouples measure the small voltage created when two dissimilar metals, in the tip, create a tiny voltage. That voltage is measured by the PID and converted to temp. PS Oh I'm going to use my PID to control a fan for a BBQ Smoker. More air = more heat. A little more iffy than just turning off and on a heating element. :)
George, you speaking emulates what goes through my head when I do this stuff. The fact that you drop tools and struggle with wires turning your parts on their side, is EXACTLY how these go together. Truly love your presentation. Its real... Keep it real George.....

Thank you. I just joined the inlet neutral (white) and neutral to outlet at junction 2. Your tutorial helped no end and very wise repeating and explaining things well.
I normally hate lengthy videos, but you did an awesome job of explaining everything. Thanks so much!
I put the PID CONTROLLER in a PVC Pipe 4-in x 4-in diameter at a 45° sewer pipe. Think round outside of the box. Best diy videos!

Sir big Solute:
Awesome video as an engineer I never see such a great explanation,
Nice effort.
G’day George from ‘down under’ - pretty new to distilling and found your UA-cam channel - WOW ! So much great info - followed your videos step by step and built a PID - fantastic- works a treat!
Have a great Christmas and have a great 2018
Excellent video. Needed to make my own DIY Sou vide setup, couldn't find any till I got to your video. Thanks mate.
Fantastic video, very easy to follow your explanation. Thanks!
Thank you, wired my first PID controller with plug and works like a charm👍. Tried it on my kettle.
Excellent tutorial! Great instructions on this controller Thanks
Thank you. I avoided reading the instructions. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for the help when I called. You are amazing!
Any time. We are here to help in any way we can.
George
Thanks for all your help on wiring , works great as it should.😁
thanks, george, great help by phone fast pick up and with great concern
Great lesson...with thanks from Australia
Thx for the detailed video, I am setting up an injection machine and was not sure how to wire it up... Thx again
I just like your style in the way you explain things so I subscribed... Cant wait to watch more vids! thanks!
very well done, I really like the plug idea. I did the same thing but with 220 bit my experience wasn't as effortless as yours seem to be. keep up the good work
Thanks for the video, for those that learn by hands on this is absolutely perfect
Hey thanks, i just wired up my PID using this guide and im watching the temp rise right now. Thanks!
Let me know if you need anything or any help. These things are great

13:52 Story of my life George. This is me all the time.
Excellent tutorial! How I add shutoff timer to this and wich one. Thanks fore all your help
Great video, Clear instructions
Thank you George!
Hey george, i found out instead of wiring in the light seperate, you can also use an extension cord with a lighted end for the heater element cable, so it will blink on and off when its receiving power.
Very informative. Thank you
Wonderful, clear and concise tutorial. There is just one thing I may have missed. Where does the heating element fit into this circuit? I'm currently building a heat treat oven. Thanks from the UK.
It goes in the oven and connected to pins 1,2 on the solid state relay.
George
Barley and Hops Brewing Thank you George. Greatly appreciated. How do you find the rex-c100? I've read mixed reviews, some say it won't drive the SSR! Thanks again, Matt
I am not a big fan of the Rex C-100. I prefer the Mypin TA series or the Inkbird ITC 106-VH model.
George
Barley and Hops Brewing great! Thanks George.
Very good presentation I have one question where do my heating band wires get attached?
hi i am from holland and wach your videos and you say you have to be carefull that the pot dont have a leak so vaper dont get out but the spirel from a boiler when you put it on can get red hot cant that not ge a problem to put that inside a pot ?
thanks for the helpping other people
Very helpful, thanks.
Excellent video, thank you!
Hello, where I live, in Argentina, we have 220V between lines and a neutral, therefor between both hotlines we achieve 380V.
I’d like to know if it’s feasible to connect the element between bothhot lines to get mor power. If so, in which PID’s terminals should I connect them.
Thanks!!
F
Do you have a full written plan on how you can set up the PID? Thank you, Great videos!
Hi George, I noticed that you don’t put any heat paste or a gap pad on the SSR, will the thermal transfer be good enough to the heats ink?
Thank you from Saudi Arabia
Would it be beneficial to add a 10A fuse and a 15A LED switch between the power source and the SSR input #1?
I have a berme rex c100. With the pins? I have 1,2, 3 and 4. no 5? but looks like 3 and 5 are the same?also missing the alarms. and number 8. Hooking up 300watt , cylinder mold heater to it. Very good video, thanks you. I will be doing it this weekend.
Thermocouples put out a small voltage not resistance. RTDs are devices that change resistance as temperature changes.
Thank you for your effort. I was skipping around the video and I couldn't find where you attached the ground. Please let me know.
Great tutorial video... can you show us how to use the alarm 1.. thanks again for the video presentation
Ok this video was awesome for wiring this PID up do you have a video on how to program it for a keezer or am I even able to ya it for that
Hello sir great video and I like the way that you take the time to break everything down with an explanation of why it's being done that way. I have a question hopefully it doesn't sound to silly. I'm building a oven for applying Cerakote. My heat source is going to be an element from a oven. How would I wire that into the system that you showed in this video. Thank for doing these videos. I'm in the process of building one of these boxes now, I'm just a little unsure about this last step. Thank you sir.
Great video George but I'm confused a bit. Where did you get a 120 VAC step down transformer with an output of 12 VDC? Is that a 12 VAC fan?
sir i need to control a drive with pid controler honeywell 1040 pid
Great video, question, you have a hot, neutral and ground running down the table to the floor you did not touch on. Where are these wires going? I would think the circuit breaker but i may be wrong.

Great video! Thanks George! I'm wondering if there are any solutions in having multiple heat elements connected to the same controller?
nice and explain well
hi I like your explanation on the use of PID, I am just asking can I use this device as in incubator controller, and can it help in controlling the turning of the motor that used to turn the egg tray?
Great video!
If I am connecting a heater, I will replace the electrical socket setup with the heater I am connecting, correct?
hello - does the PID goes back to the selected temperature after losing power?
love your work
Great video
I've been watching every video and downloaded 5 or 6 manuals for these PIDs and now am getting the idea of what PIDs do what and how to decode the model number.
