MES 40 gen 2.5 pid wiring

[okiecat]

So If its right, the control panel on the Mes will not be used and maybe won't even come on? Everything will be done at the PID, Correct? Ok if this is the case Im already up at house, so will test tomorrow night. Thanks I owe you one. Is this the first Gen 2.5 rewire done on this forum?

Correct, the MES controller wont turn on.
Correct, everything will be done from the PID.
Just test that it heats up when u directly plug it into the wall.
Then hook up to the pid and confirm it is working with the pid and go from there :-)

Get into the habit of putting the PID sensor in the smoker first on every smoke before before plugging the smoker into the PID and then the outlet receptacle.

I couldn't agree more hahaha. Don't mess up and leave it out of your smoker or else you won't have a smoker for long if you plug everything up with the smoker probe sitting outside the smoker :D

Ok Just getting in from work. Going to test tomorrow night, I hope. Thanks for warnings on PID. and confirming how its suppose to work. I printed out the 22 page instructions on the PID website and have read them. This site is very lucky to have guys like you to help everybody with there problems. Im so ready to get this thing going. So I can make sausage.

I'm looking forward to the six different PID cooking stages to ramp up to the final chamber temp for sausage. You just have to add your preheat time to the first stage. I may only use three but they are available. After some time learning the PID and I know a smoke won't go over a specified time, I can set the last stage to 150*f to hold food indefinitely rather than just turn off. Just in case I've got more than this smoke going on.
