Help get my HT oven up and running!!!

[Ernie Swanson]

Please Help get my HT oven up and running!!!

I just purchased a used Evenheat J.r. Kiln and I need a little help and direction.

I will post up pics of all I got and hopefully some of you can tell me how to put this together and what else I need.

I think I might need a new thermocouple but not sure, The one that came with seems kinda big.

Ok here are pics of everything with a description of what it is

Ok here are the parts that came with it.

Not sure what kind of thermocouple this is. Has no numbers or anything

This thermocouple just says: Pyromation K-

This is the element

This I think is a length of high temp wire

Not to sure what this is, some kind of switch?
Says Cherry on it.

This is an SSR, 480v, 25a. Wrong one I think for 110 setup

This is another SSR, 60a/250v

This is the pid, Model I think is TC-408A

And in the wiring there is the normal wire to plug it in, then there is a little white wire with two small wires in it. I think this is for the thermocouple.

After doing a little searching I found what I think is the thermocouple and element mounting plate

And this is the same type of PID I think

I am not sure if any of the SSR's will work for the setup I am doing.

Also do I need a heat sink for the SSR?

If any of you knowledgeable guys can help me out I would really appreciate it.

Congratulations on your score Ernie.

I know how to plug cords in an outlet and turn stuff on if it is clearly marked but other than that, I couldn't help you.

Good luck,
Carey

I know a little about wiring and stuff but not how to wire one of these.
