I stress if you need a controller to control a single solid state relay use the drop down menu to select the correct one. It is very easy to use and the SSR model works great, I use it in a vape generator, the controls are very easy to set up and the connection couldn't be happier! The auto-tuning feature is extremely easy to set up. Thanks again

Pros
  • Cool/Heat PID controller (normal alarm can be selected via software)
Cons
  • Negative signal present

The best and most economical process controller in the world!

What do you not like? Intuitive simple user interface. Reliable. Inexpensive (but not cheap!). Often bundled with sensors. The RNR option is for when you don't need an SSR output - instead you need to manage long term on-off loads - you should always use SSR for a short term variable, but for 10 minute cycles - RNR is fine . . Don't forget to include alarms in your design to determine if the relay will actually fail eventually - that's the price to pay for RNR's simplicity compared to SNR. Four

Pros
  • Alarm output: 2 output lines, 7 kinds of alarm modes.
Cons
  • Brief instructions

After about a week there is no output on the primary relay.

I specialize in instrumentation, I wanted to use it to control the fermentation temperature of wine or bottled beer in winter Heating jackets 30W. Came quickly; The instructions weren't terrible, but not what I would consider clear. However, there are good links here to help on YouTube. In any case, it worked fine for about a week, then the temperature started to drop, but the output light came on. Tried the usual, turned off power, checked programming, reprogrammed, relay didn't work. If I…

Pros
  • Main output: Relay, normally open, AC 250V/3A DC 30V/3A COS¦Õ=1
Cons
  • Very expensive

It works, but this model (TA-4) has a relay output, not an SSR output.

****Update**** I still haven't changed my opinion or assessment of this PID. I'm just adding an update as I'll be using this part again as I don't have the TA-7 I normally use. I usually use TA-7 so this TA-4 was taken away for about a year. It had about 1-2 hours of use before I replaced it with the TA-7. I recently bought a 3D printer and needed a PID to control a heated bed I made. Since I hooked it up to a heated platform, I used it for about 16 hours in total. Yesterday during a 4 hour…

Pros
  • Display: dual display for Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius?
Cons
  • A few small things
