Default Wiring questions part 2

Ok, so I have my PID and SSR. I`m using a TET-612 PID and a Fotek 60 amp SSR. I`ve searched the forum but have yet come up with a clear understanding of how to wire this stuff. All the wiring diagrams that I`ve found so far show a contactor instead of a SSR. Can someone please tell/show me how to wire this up in plain english, lol.

I understand that #1 & #2 are input power to the PID

#9 & #10 are the thermocouple.

#6 & #7 are the SSR output and this is what I don`t understand fully. Does the SSR only control one leg of the 220 circuit ? Does the other leg connect directly to the heating elements ?

If I`m understanding correctly, u hook both legs up to #1 & #2, jump off #2 to one side of heating element. The SSR output connects to the other side of heating element ? If thats correct, whats the 4th hookup on the SSR for ?

TIA from the throughly confused.
