Default Re: Turned the oven on for 1st time - Fireworks!

It's a coldfusion FX PID controller from ebay. This controller has outputs for both relay/contactor as well as SSR. I was using the SSR outputs.

To bypass the SSR I just shorted the contacts at the SSR so that as soon as I plugged in the oven, the elements would come on and stay on.

Here's a link to ebay auction for the controller:

Here's the like to ebay auction for SSR (same seller) although the SSR I got looks a little different:

Attached is a quick sketch of my schematic.
