I have a SSR that controls my gas valves, and have a 'safety' in place. So far that has been working very well, but I am having a problem trying to get the programming right to keep a constant temperature. I know nothing will be perfect, but i have the BCS set so that there is a 0.1 degree (F) varia...

Thanks so much for all the info guys, sorry it took me a bit to get back to this. The over all goal is to have both pumps running for the entire mash process, one recirculating hot water in the HLT to keep a consistent temperature, and the other to pump wort through the HERMS coil. I was originally ...

I am looking to find a way to have multiple processes control a single output. I have a temperature probe on the output of my mash tun, and one on the output of my HERMS coil (inside my HLT). I am trying to have my BCS turn on and off my gas burner below my HLT in order to maintain my mash temperatu...

Good to know Jon, thanks. It was testing just fine using a lamp, just wanted to make sure the readings I was getting would not cause any problems. Thanks so much for all of your help!

So I have gotten everything wired up and im still getting some strange readings. On the SSR's I am getting a reading of 123 volts on terminal 1, and getting 0 volts on terminal 2, and this is with the BCS having the SSR in an off state. Looks perfect to me. So now it gets a little weird, If I put a ...

Thanks Jon! Ill be wiring the rest of this up once i get home this evening. Hopefully everything comes out just fine. I think I will take your suggestion on using a regular outlet on the control box, and GFCI on the wall outlet.

Thanks for the quick response Jon, glad to know it is nothing to worry about. Does everything else look OK in this diagram? What if I were to use a GFCI outlet, does that change the wiring at all? Thanks again Jon!

Hey Guys, I am running into a problem trying to get my BCS-460 to power a duplex outlet, which will run my 2 pumps. I have attached a visio of my wiring diagram to see if anyone can figure out what might be happening. I am able to get power to my BCS unit and can see power on the SSR's when i turn t...

Awesome, I'm glad that my poor visio skills can help :) I hope everything works out for you. Im still wondering about the wiring on the transformer, I have seen people set it up in multiple different ways. The manual for the Honeywell is located here (http://forum.embeddedcc.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&a...

Thanks Jon! I have read a bunch of your forum topics, and I must say you are the man when it comes to this stuff, and you have a killer rig! I changed the labeling on my '24V DC' bus bar to '24V AC Neutral' and placed a jumper from the AC Ground to the 5V DC Ground. Any thoughts on if the transforme...
