Wiring help...

[cyberbackpacker]

Well, here goes... it officially begins.

For now, I want to start very basically.

Here is what I am starting with: I have a single 110v outlet/receptacle, 12/2 cable, a 25a SSR from Auber Instruments, and the bcs-460. My control box is an old PC tower.

Need some wiring help. I want to run the wire from the bcs, to the ssr, to the receptacle. I will be using the receptacle to plug in my refrigerator ferm chamber.

So... it seems "simple" but want some reassurance. I will take wire from out0 and run it to terminal 3 on the SSR (the + on the control side of the SSR 3-32 vdc). Then I will take wire and run it from ground on the bcs and run it to terminal 4 on the SSR (the - on the control side of the SSR 3-32 vdc). Right so far?

Now, where I am really in need of a little guidance. The 12/2 cable has a black which should be hot/+ correct? The bare cable is the ground/-? Correct? White is "neutral"?

Now where do I go from here? How do I hook up the 12/2 cable from the ssr to the receptacle?

Thanks in advance!

ground (bare) direct to receptacle green ground terminal
white (neutral) goes to neutral (silver) terminal on receptacle
black (hot) goes to 1 side of SSR and another wire goes from SSR to receptacle (brass screw)

ssr is just a switch and interrupts the hot lead.

Here is what I have now... I think it is starting to make sense to me...

Yes. That is correct. I hope you enjoy the BCS 460 as much as I do.
