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!

Re: Wiring help...
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.
