No worries.
It seems you have dodged a bullet and your SF 800 is still good.

That will work well, but what are you going to use for your heater? My guess is the 5A contacts are for heating. You can test this by swapping the wires from terminals 1&2 to terminals 4&5 respectively then raising the value of E1 to
greater than ambient and E2 to a value higher than E1 by a couple of degrees. If the light comes on it proves that 4&5 are the heating terminals.
Do not plug your big a%$e heating element in to test or use this function though, as the terminals are not rated for that much load. There is a way around it by installing a relay which I can run you through if you so desire.
