PID Temperature Controller w/ Ramp/soak
[SYL-23X2P]

I bought this to run a pottery kiln. It is doing everything promised. I just finished running the kiln at 180F for a day and a half to dry out the pottery and am now running a two-hour ramp from 180F to 600F with more ramp steps to come. My only complaint is to reduce cost you have to access all functions with only the four buttons. So navigating through the menus is not intuitive. I spent longer studying the manuals trying to figure out how to run it than I did installing it. Whenever I go to make an adjustment I have to have the manual with me to know what keystrokes to make. I suspected the manual would be really important and so I spent some extra money to buy the Auber product rather than a less expensive brand because I wanted to get a good manual written by a native English speaker. The controller was delivered in a box without any product instructions and so I was glad I had previously downloaded the manuals. Auber also has a couple of tutorial videos that I have not watched but they might have sped up the learning process.
