Programmable PID Temperature Controller
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Auber WS series temperature controller. We sincerely
appreciate your choice and trust that our product will meet your quality and value
expectations. At this moment, you may be anxious to operate your own electric smoke
controller, but a few minutes of your time reading through this manual will only serve to
enhance your purchase experience. In particular, we urge you to read through the
safety warnings below. Although this plug-and-play controller is rather simple to
operate, the process involves high temperature and high wattage appliances, and your
safety is our number one priority.
• This controller is designed only to be used with devices that have limited power
and thermal cut off protection, such as thermostats or thermal fuses in case of
controller failure.
• Do not place anything on the top of controller surface, which is used to vent
excess heat during its operation.
• The maximum electric current this controller can handle is 15 Amperes. For 120
Volts AC in US and Canada, this limits the heater power to 1800 Watts.
• Always place the sensor in the controlled subject when the controller is on. Before
turning on the controller, please make sure the sensor is placed inside the
container. Leaving the sensor outside of the solution will form an open loop
operation. If the sensor is left outside, the controller will assume the temperature
is low even if the controlled subject is already very hot. The controller will provide
full power to the heater. It will not only overheat the controller, but also damage
your appliance, and possibly even cause a fire.

For each cooking step, set the target cabinet temperature, ending criterion, and timer or target food temperature. If “X-Ending” of a certain step is set to “Fd Temp” while the food probe (Probe 2) is not plugged in, this step will never end.
  • Page 14 A flow chart of how to enter the cooking profile is shown in Figure 18. To start, program the cooking profile. Press the SET key shortly to enter the Cooking Profile Programming mode.

  • Page 28 shelves were empty, the temperature inside the smoker tower is fairly uniform except the back half of the lowest shelf that is close to the heater. Users should avoid placing the sensor too close to the heater because it does not represent the temperature of the rest area.
  • Page 29 When Should the Controller be Tuned? If the PID parameters we provided are not working for your liking, you can use the auto-tuning function to let the controller to determine the PID parameters automatically. Auto-tuning function (it’s often known as self-tuning) can automatically optimize the PID parameters based on your system.
