Hello I am new to the form and I have a question about my PID.
I am using it on my heat treating oven.
Trying to run it in manual mode with SV to 1575°F.
Once it reaches the SV it just continues to climb.
Not real sure what's going on and I have read the manual over and over if anyone could help I sure would appreciate it.

Are you using manual mode or PID mode? In manual mode, you can only set output percentage, not temperature. In PID mode, you can set temperature.

If you are using PID mode, how is the OUT light when your reading temperature is over your set temperature? OUT light should be OFF when your reading temperature is over your set temperature. If OFF but your heater is still powered ON, your SSR could be bad/shorted. If ON, it could be something wrong with your settings. You can try to run auto-tune at 1575F and see how it works.
