Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Auber WS series temperature controller. We sincerely
appreciate your decision and trust that our machine will meet your expectations in both
the quality of the result and the value of our product. While we are delighted that you may
be anxious to operate the controller for your project, a few minutes of your time reading
through this manual will only serve to enhance your experience in the months and years
ahead. In particular, we urge you to read through the safety warnings below. Although
this plug-and-play controller is very easy to operate, the process involves high
temperature and high wattage appliances, and your safety is paramount.
 This controller is designed only to be used with devices that have limited power
and their own thermal cutoff protection, such as a thermostat or thermal fuse in
case of controller failure.
 Do not place any objects 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 Ampere. For 120
volt AC in US and Canada, this limits the heater power to 1800 watts. Due to its
compact size and the splash proof design for kitchen applications, the controller
has a limited ability to dissipate the heat generated by the internal solid state relay
during the initial heat up. The initial full power heat up process cannot be more
than 90 minutes. If you system need take longer time to warm up, please read
Appendix 1 "Managing the heat generated by the controller"
 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 to be controlled. Leaving the sensor outside will form an open loop

(2) Output status indicator - In normal mode, this LED indicates the heater status. When it is on (lit), the heater is powered. When it is off, the heater power is off. When it is flashing, it means the heater is on and off intermittently to reduce the power output.

After programming the necessary steps for cooking, you can finish programming by pressing the SET continuously until it passed T06 and the LED displays the current temperature. You can also leave the controller alone.

If the controller is using Celsius unit, divide the P value by 1.8. If you switch from Fahrenheit display to Celsius, the controller will automatically convert all the settings.

On/off mode should be used for controlling an external relay, a solenoid valve, or a compressor of freezer. You also need to set the hysteresis band (dead band) for the on/off mode.
  • Page 11 Figure 7. Auto-Tuning Before using the auto-tune function, you must set the cooking equipment up in the exact configuration it will be used. For example, to tune a rice cooker, place the sensor in the room temperature pot filled with water and plug the cooker into the controller.
  • Page 12 every 10 seconds. This parameter should set at 2 second for heating with an electric heater. When controlling a solenoid valve or a compressor of refrigerator, the T should be set to 10-20 to reduce the frequency of on/off. To prevent changing critical parameters by accident, an access lock, LCK is used. Special code is needed to open the lock for these parameters.
  • Page 13 and press SET will activate the auto-tune. The next setting is the “t” setting, use “-” and “+” to set the cycle time value. This value should remain 2 for most application. After change the PID parameter, the controller needs to be turned off and on again for the best result.

The display will flashing OPEN (oPEn).  Hy. Hysteresis band (or dead band). This parameter is used for on/off control only. In the on/off heating mode, the heater will be turned off when T = SV, and turned on again when T<SV-Hy.

A dated proof of purchase may be required. The liability of Auber Instruments is limited solely to the cost of the repair or replacement of the unit at our discretion.
  • Page 17 “ATTENTION CUSTOMER SERVICE”. We are constantly striving to improve our products and therefore the specifications contained herein are subject to change without notice.
  • Page 18 Appendix 1 Managing the heat generated by the controller The heat dissipation of the controller is directly related to the electric current drawing power of the heater. If your cooker consumes less than 10 ampere of current or your pot is less than 5 gal (19 liters), you do not need to worry about the heat generated by the controller.
  • Page 19 In addition to these solutions, following information will also help you to manage the heat. Place the controller in the right place. The SSR of Auber WS series controller is mounted in the bottom of chassis. The chassis is made of 3 mm thick aluminum for good heat dissipation.
