Thanks Jason! I think I'll keep it this way. After reading some other threads, when the SSR goes bad it stays in the closed position. Mechanical's stay open. I'll put an LED for the fan cycle and use it in conjunction with my wireless thermometer. Can't wait to smoke a brisket on Friday!  

I'm running a JDL612 DC. Power supply is a Nintendo 12vdc fan cooler and powering a Antec 80mm 12vdc fan. I tested it again and still have the loss in voltage. I hooked up a mechanical relay  and it works fine. My assumption is the voltage drop is normal. I got a BWD relay from Oriley's with...

Anyone? I'm about ready to return it and buy another one. Thanks!

Thanks Gr0uch0! Not sure if this is a parasitic drop, or a faulty SSR. I'm not smoking for awhile. I got about 15lbs. of pulled pork in the freezer. Thanks again

Sorry, I meant 10.7. Must be the time difference! Why would there be a current drop?

Hi guys. I have a 12vdc/12vdc PID ans a 12vdc SSR. I connected the wiring correctly and when the SSR activates I get only 11.7 vdc and not the full12vdc. This cause a dramatic drop in rpm for my fan.  The question is. Does a 12dc SSR contact drop 1.3vdc or do I have a faulty SSR? Thanks in...

Well I'm in Hawaii and started smoking a while ago. Now that I quit, I want to smoke meats. Since reading the threads here it seem I'm doing it all wrong. I like the way some of you use PID controllers because my main problem is controlling temps. I hope I'll be able to buy a used one for now. ...
