I have a PID, is it good for anything?

[MuleKicker]

Trying to use a PID, or to use one in any way but in manual mode, is just an effort in trying to over-complicate a simple process... I honestly don't understand why people do that, and especially those who don't know how... It's maddening to be quite honest... We talk and we talk and we talk and nobody bothers to listen... They just get stuck on frivolous ideas and can't seem to shake them...

Definitly overcomplicated. I just drilled my boiler and got all the wiring completed and the element hooked up. Ready to boil some water to see if it all works. Opened the directions for the PID and its greek to me. Anyone know how to just use it in manual mode? Rex Series c100. Is there a way I can use this simply like a pot that displays the temp?

It needs to be programmed to go into manual mode. If the instructions are " Greek " to you, just stop. Go back to the basics. Rad is right. Rad is right. Rad is right. Rad is right. Rad is right.
