Got a RIMS Rocket....now I need help!

You're right dblunn, this schematic is sourced from an American site, but I will be sure to use the correct line/neutral connections. As for the SSR, my knowledge with them is fairly limited and my experience is non existent. Could you explain what you mean by placing it downstream from the switch and how this will benefit? Thanks.

I was suggesting the SSR could be placed on the neutral side of the isolation switch so that when the element is not selected the SSR will not have 240V on so it may increase it's life slightly and make it a bit safer if you put hands inside the box (SSRs are rather open faced and easily touched).

Got it. Good advice. I will do this.

Geez, I think by the end of all this I might be right to wire up a house at this rate :lol:

Like the PID's Auber have a very well earned reputation for their temp probes. Yes a PT 100 is the same as the next in accuracy or should be, aubers probes and cabling are well thought out. Being able to disconnect at both panel and kettle makes clean up so much easier.

Here are the parts I ordered from Auber Instruments. The freight wasn't cheap but apparently they'll be here on Friday (currently in Hawaii)!!!

I got the 8ft braided cables with XLRCON connector/cable for the sensors so I will be able to unplug them directly from the control box.
