			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for your PMs Tim. I&#039;ve soldered direct to the pads and pretty much confirmed a dodgy relay so I swapped the 2 and it seems to be ok for now. Will give it a good test in the morning.</p>]]></description>

A better thing to check is the two terminals the heater wires are connected to - there should be 12v if the OUT light is illuminated.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi guys,</p><p>I may be in the market for a new controller as mine is crazy. It&#039;s the Mypin model.</p><p>It works fine most of the time and sits at 180 degrees just fine for hours on end. It will then just stop and slowly everything cools down.</p><p>Leaving it off didn&#039;t help after a few hours but in the morning (this morning) it seemed to be working fine.</p><p>I watching it for a few minutes climb to about 50 degrees before hitting and holding down the AT button to try autotune it. After a few minutes it started doing the same thing where the temp just drops and drops until it&#039;s room temp.</p><p>Not sure what&#039;s up with it as all the wiring is correct and like I said it was working fine (I&#039;ve run about half of the sample pellets through it).</p><p>It&#039;s not really worth returning the controller to Tim for a new one if it is faulty and I&#039;m just wondering if I can get one locally (UK)?</p><p>thanks,<br />Chris</p>]]></description>
