PID CAL and Novus
« on: April 03, 2015, 01:10:37 PM »
Actually there is a sale of PID at http://www.thermoworks.com/specials/liquidation_2015.html

CAL 3200 at 74$
Novus 1020 at 39$
plus transportation 3.99$
They are new and IMO it's a good deal , I just bought a CAL

I want to put one on my new/old Faema family.
Is there a difference between Thermocouple and RTD  ?  (I mean speed and precision) or lower price is ok  (thermocouple) ?

Have a nice easter.

My understanding is that rtd is more precise and a type j or k is faster. I used a rtd on my machine and it works fine.

The 12v input makes it a bit awkward. Having a 120v-240v is easier to wire in.

The specs for the PID alimentation are:
12V - 24V (AC/DC) +/-20% 3VA Polarity not required

I suppose I can add a small transformer like this one  110V to 12V 60W Electronic Transformer Halogen Light Power Supply Converter #Z  (ebay , 3$) , it's AC.

It will be better to have a 110 volts , but the PID is in UPS hands and I don't want to send it back from Canada
