Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
So as I dig a little more, I'm looking for a simple single loop, that will take a Type K thermocouple, with an input range that includes 120v (100 to 240 VAC 50 / 60 Hz) and can handle the 14.58 amps. I'm looking at one right now that shows all of that, but I don't know how to figure if it can handle the current or not (I don't completely understand the spec sheet) Add a thermocouple that's similar to what's in there now, and an SSR, and start replacing?Steve

The SSR does your switching so that will be the current handling device. 20 amps should be common value.120 volt input on the PID just makes powering it easier. If you have a link I can verify.
At this point, my questions are 1. can I snip the thermocouple lead going into our current analog thermostat and use it since it's already instatlled? And 2. is which Control Setup to use, though I'm pretty sure it's the PID Control Setup. I'm having a little trouble understanding those directions, but I keep getting interrupted. I could always tell the vendor what I'm working on and I'll bet they could help me, I have found a lot of those folks to be pretty helpful.Steve
