just wondering . I was having great results with a ts-13010 from dwyer controls .......... now today is still gives a read out of box temp ....... but it no longer activates the burner .... no power to the burner .. any one else had one burn out ?? if so I will explore other avenues of replacement , with some other brand :-\
head... i have not had a single issue with mine...
i plug my smoke generator into the wall seperate of the box... this means the ts only cycles the heat element... this way i can unplug the smoke generator when the pucks are spent and no additional heat is needed... then the ts just controls the box from a seperate wall plug...
when the ts makes on temp fall the red light comes on and i can hear one click... when it breaks on temp rise the red light goes out but i hear no click...
are you hearing any clicks or seeing the red light... you know there is a bunch of settings... i had one messed up once and didnt even know i changed it and the thing would not make at all eventhough the temp was still reading...
i dont have it with me right now or i could look and see if i could figure our which setting it was...
you gotta eat...

thanks . have not yet taken much time to figure it out ..... good thought though if the setting got changed . like if it were trying to control an a/c unit it would operate opposite. but no click and no light . I will try and find my paper work to re-program yet tonight ........ i am using mine in my freezer conversion with a 1650 watt element . and like you only controling the box temp . generator is plugged seperate .... thanks for the response ... will check out and reply . :-X
here is the documentation...
i think i had the r1 or r2 set wrong when it would not kick in...

ok went back out last night plugged it it and CLICK. it started heating the element ....... weird. it had quit yesterday 2 hours into my smoke . and would not click to reheat the element. had it set at 220. and box temp made it down to 160 before I plugged the element in directly to finish my smoke ............. last night I went all through the whole program sequence looking for errors........... found none .........I am going to plug in when I leave for work and see if it kicks out by lunch again .... thanks for the advise . Iam crossing my fingers
ok . NFC on why it quit in the middle of my smoke . left it on all day today with nothing in it ..... did not miss a beat . thanks Owrstrich for all the help it may have been a program glitch ;D

1. Errant cosmic ray
2. Rod Serling using your generator as a wormhole, disrupting local electronics
3. owrstrich telekinesis mistake, which he helpfully tried to correct. :D

At least it wasn't tied to a automatic weapon for a deterrent system as in Robo Cop and no one got blown through the window.
ok my ts is being a *&*%^&^$(%*@$#*% again ......... seems to cut out after about 3-4 hours at any temp abouve 200............. if I plug in a lamp and beat on it the light will flicker ..... unplug it for a half hour and the lamp stays on ........... here is what I would like to ask my electrical wizards ..................is there a thermal protection part inside my ts ??? and if there is and it pops will it make a partial connection when I beat on it like I tried ???... if so I know my box is small in size with out ventilation .......... I may try a computer circulating fan......... >:(
lmao just read what I typed ........... I never seen a fan that will CIRCULATE COMPUTERS LOL
Is this part youre referring to one piece of a PID?
head...
if it were mine i would try the palmrap first and the blocksmash second...
palmrap... rap it against tha palm of your hand 10 times fast...
blocksmash... smash it against a concrete block 10 times fast...
thats the only technical things i lernt in paring stuff... then i would order a new one and sent the rapedsmashed one to the sparkler and have him fix it...
then i would cuss olds for suggesting that switch in the first place... although mine has not failed to date...
yours gotts toos eats...

ok cingnut theis is what I have in a 110vac 16 amp spst http://www.dwyer-inst.com/HTDOCS/PDFFILES/iom/temperature/TS_iom.pdf (http://www.dwyer-inst.com/HTDOCS/PDFFILES/iom/temperature/TS_iom.pdf) would perfer not to purchase a new one if all I need to do is keep this one cool ... any other thoughts out there .............. and what would it take ($$$$) to build a real one ?
p.s. all connections are secure first thing I checked .... and the control at time of shut down is very warm to the touch
Try sticking a probe of an ET unit inot the small box when using the switch and try to monitor the temps at first pugging in abnd the 2-hour majic period. See if heat really is an issue.
Make poke more holes in the box for more heat disipation, or attach a metal heat sink to part of the box if heat is the issue.
Let us know how it goes.
I have one also in a box and its pluged in 24/7 and I use switches to send power to the smoker based on what this does. Temp probe also runs 24/7. Ben running non-stop (other than house power issues) for over 365 days. No issues at all.
Good luck
