The control panel is complete!!! I first checked everything with the multimeter with no power and everything checked out. Next came the power on test. All looked good initially:
- The power light came on
- HLT temp sensor accurate
- Mash Tun temp sensor accurate
- Pump #1 worked
- Pump #2 worked
- HLT Controller was able to power HLT element outlet
- HLT Element Control circuit switch worked
- BK PWM powered on and seemed to function but no power to outlet......
OOOPS!!!
In my diagram I forgot to take into consideration that the PWM runs on 120 Volts AC but it's control leads are 12 Volts DC! I wired the PWM side the same as the HLT side SSR which promptly destroyed the DC controlled SSR. I rewired and tested to find that the PWM didn't seem to suffer any damage. I ordered a new SSR and everything should be a go when it arrives.
I will update this post when it arrives....
*** Update *** The SSR arrived and worked perfectly when installed. All systems GO!
