I have built and tested my E-Herms system. I love it. The only item I have left is to program the PID for the HLT. In the manual you stated it should be in automatic mode. I just want to make sure my output is correct: PID mode, heating control, automatic operation mode, correct?

And then the PID setting is another item I'm not sure what the settings should be.

Other than that I am ready to brew with the new system. I will post pictures when I'm done.

Thanks!!!

Lou

I’m happy to hear that Lou!

Which kind of PID’s are you using? The same as in my setup?

I always have to check, because I can never remember the PID settings.

The PID user manual doesn’t provide much help!

That’s the setting I’m using..

Sensor setting:

Output setting:

You also want to calibrate the 2 temperature sensors. Heat a cup of water to 150F (use a trusted thermometer). Put the sensors in it, if the PID is not showing the right temperature, use below to correct.

Finally use the UP and DOWN buttons to set the desired HLT temperature, turn on the HLT switch and your element should start heating (the yellow HLT LED will be on).
