{"product_id":"ramp-soak-bluetooth-pid-controller","title":"Silverback Ramp \u0026 Soak Bluetooth Controller","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe brains for your own build, programmed from your phone. A fully featured PID controller that holds your set temperature automatically and that you set up in plain English on a free app.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is for the hands-on builder who wants to program the controller from a phone instead of poking through shorthand menus on a small display. If you are wiring your own control box, building a forge or a kiln, running a specialty cure like Cerakote, or replacing a controller that quit, this is the part that runs the show. It is the \"brains\" you wire into your own build. You already have the box, so you just need the controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou program it from your phone, in plain English.\u003c\/strong\u003e This model adds Bluetooth and a free phone app (Quick Tune, from the app store). Most people who buy the Bluetooth version buy it for exactly this: setting temperatures and steps on a phone screen in plain words, instead of decoding shorthand on the little controller face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt does ramp-and-soak.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ramp-and-soak means the controller steps through a schedule on its own: ramp up to a temperature, hold (\"soak\") it, then move to the next step. This unit stores 20 of those profiles, up to 9 steps each. If you run a multi-step cure like Cerakote, that is the feature you came for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou get a fully featured controller, not a bare-bones one.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cheap controllers you find online usually skip the combination that matters: a built-in timer, shutoff ability, pulse output (it rapidly switches the element to hold temperature) for a solid-state relay (the electronic switch that pulses the heating element on and off), and ramp-and-soak, together in one unit. This one has all of that, plus phone programming. It also carries a cycle alarm and a high-visibility multicolor LCD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou program it with a real person on the phone if you want.\u003c\/strong\u003e Call us for as long as you own it and we will walk you or your employees through the programming. That does not stop when the warranty does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt runs more than a powder oven.\u003c\/strong\u003e Set it well beyond an oven's range for a forge or a kiln, or switch it to a cooling application. It does the same on-off control either direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Silverback Ovens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542179315990,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/2798\/8502\/files\/sb-ramp-soak-bluetooth-controller-1.jpg?v=1783801424","url":"https:\/\/silverbackovens.com\/products\/ramp-soak-bluetooth-pid-controller","provider":"Silverback Ovens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
