Temp Controller RNR, SNR what do they mean?

[Dave, I can't do that]

Hi All,

I am wanting to build a small 110vac temp controller for sous vide cooking. Found a bunch of PID controllers for around 20-bucks and lots of how-to-build instructions.

RNR, SNR and SSR?

I am guessing SSR is Solid Sate Relay, but what are SNR and RNR?

Search as I might I cannot find an explanation for those two. I see a zillion ads offering either type but have no idea which one I want.

Thanks

Dave

How do those links answer my question. Building the Sous Vide is the simple part and I don't need instructions for that.

Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Since the PID controller will have a pulsed output for a SSR that is the
one to use.
The power will be going on and off a lot so you will not want to hear a
relay clicking away whislt cooking, not to mention wearing out the relay
contacts etc.

Of all the links, did any one of them use anything other than a SSR ?

Sorry to waste your time, I won't do it again.

As I read one discussion, an RNR model has a built-in relay which is
capable of switching a specified class of loads. An SNR model has a
low-voltage output which is intended to switch an external relay
(commonly an SSR, as you note).

Look at the numbering scheme for the TAx series PID controllers at
http://www.mypinchina.com/uploadfiles/2010128112237650.pdf. It shows that
this model controller has the capability of two main outputs, and an Aux
output.
The character "R" in any of these positions means that it has relay contacts
at the output.
The character "S" in any of these positions means that it has a solid state
relay (SSR) at the output.
The character "T" in any of these positions means that it has a silicon
controlled rectifier (SCR) at the output.
The character "N" in any of these positions means that there is no output
for that position.

For example, the number for model TA4-RNR indicates that the first output is
a relay; the second output is None; and the third (Aux) output is a relay.

Hope that helps

Dave M, thanks very much. That explains it nicely for me. Very much appreciated the detail you went to.
