Topic: Help w/ SSR and Heated Bed

Can someone explain to me the proper way to wire this SSR between my Heated Bed and the Printerboard? I've tried to wired it every which way and am having no luck.

Re: Help w/ SSR and Heated Bed

The input on the ssr will be connected to the printerboards bed port. You need to measure when it should be heating to see which lead is positive and which is negative for SSR as it now matters while it did not with the bed. You then connect the ground of the power supply to one of the beds terminals. The other bed terminal goes to one of the SSR output terminal. The other SSR output terminal goes to the positive terminal of the power supply. You preferably want to use a secondary power supply for this setup as its purpose is to take a large load off your primary supply.

Disregard that last private message I sent you. I had the output wires switched. Thank you so much for all your help. ATX power supplies and new heated bed were super hard for me to tackle at the same time.

I did pretty much the same thing with a 120v heater, now I get up to 95C in about a minute and no load on my power supply.

Re: Help w/ SSR and Heated Bed

Best upgrade yet!  I replaced the heat pad with one off EBay with the 3 holes - cost - 10.00 + 4.30 shipping.  A Supernight 360W P/S from Amazon 24.00 + shipping and a SSR from a local supplier for ~8.00.  Now for ~50.00 the extruder and heat pad both heat up at about the same rate - about 2 - 3 min - from 0 to 97C for the heat bed & 215C on the E3D Lite extruder. 
Well worth the price!
