Cryodem D2425's and wiring

[1971hemicuda]

Ok....so question

I have 4 D2425's for my system.

2 power the pumps to circulate the liquid
2 power the Heating elements (1 in my Hot Liquor Tank, 1 in my Mash Kettle)

My pumps turn on just fine using this setup.

110 to the input terminal of the relay
pump to the output #2 terminal of the relay
I have the output of the BCS-460 to the #3 terminal
I have Ground from the BCS-460 to the #4 terminal.

This works just fine. But, when I connect my 240v connections to the heating elements this DOESN'T work

I have 1 leg of the 240v connecting to the #1 terminal (input) of the D2425
I have 1 leg connected HOT to the heating element.
I have the other terminal of the heating element connected to the on/off terminal of the SSR (terminal #2)
I have the output of the BCS-460 to the #3 terminal (5v)
I have Ground from the BCS-460 to the #4 terminal

In theory, I shouldnt get voltage on the other side of the SSR terminal until i switch the relay on. However, when I use a multimeter i can see that i'm getting 110 across the relay even when its off. If i turn the relay on, I never see 220. I can turn the SSR on and off manually and read 5v DC starting and stopping, but i'm not seeing any change in the relay. I notice I don't see 110 across the pump relay until i actually throw the switch to turn the pump on. Can i have gotten a defective relay?

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is there any way to test?

Been discussed before on this forum. SSR's will leak voltage without a proper load. Use a test appliance like a fan or lamp.

Technically, you should have one SSR on each hot. With only one, you still have a constant 110 at the element. Which means it's never completely 'off.'
