How do I calibrate the controller?
How do I wire it for a buzzer? This is the buzzer I have. The power comes from the hot lead on the controller, to a toggle switch, to the buzzer. What terminal(s) on the controller do I connect to activate the buzzer? The buzzer has two terminals and I'm assuming one is for the hot lead and the other from the controller to activate it.
Thanks for the help.
EEEE means either the probe is reading a temp out of its range , or there is no input (probe) or wired incorrectly. in other words, if i pull my probe off the quick disconnect while the pid is on , the display will go to eeee. however, i noticed this morning with real cold temps the stack probe display read that and then later today while checking it was fine ...
with the 2362, set the inty to p10.0 for .1 increments and pt100 rtd probe which is what you have. DO NOT set it to k type , as this is the default and your not using a thermocouple. be sure the wiring is correct to the pid. 3 wire RTD should have a white spade clip, and 2 red ones. white to 8 and reds to 9 and 10.

as for the buzzer, the X1 terminal is the hot and X2 is neutral . x1 goes to pid . pid sends 120 signal to buzzer when you designate. same applies for valve. where you put these items depends on your personal configuration and whether your running NC or NO valves, low or high temps alarms, etc .
its all in the manual... i didnt see it until i read it... 3 times.
