Tabletop Furnace RF–Programmable PID Temperature Controller (Ramp/Soak Model)

Tabletop Furnace RF–Programmable PID Temperature Controller (Ramp/Soak Model)

Precision Process Control. Fully Programmable Performance.

Take command of your temperature profiles with the Tabletop Furnace RF–Programmable PID Controller, a professional-grade control solution offering up to 30 programmable ramp/soak steps. Whether you’re working with a RapidFire, Hi-Temp, XT, or XL series furnace, this controller provides the accuracy, automation, and flexibility you need for consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of high-temperature processes.

Built on proven industrial PID technology, this controller is available in multiple output configurations — including relay, SSR output, or built-in SSR — allowing seamless integration with your Tabletop Furnace or other heating systems.

🔥 Advanced Ramp/Soak Programming

The RF–Programmable PID Controller goes beyond simple on/off or static setpoint control. It lets you automatically vary temperature over time, enabling complete control over heating, holding, and cooling phases.

With up to 30 programmable steps, you can:

• Ramp temperature up or down at a precise rate.

• Soak (maintain) temperature for a specified duration.

• Trigger alarms or relays at defined steps to activate other equipment.

• Create loops, holds, or stops for repetitive or conditional operations.

This flexibility makes it ideal for applications requiring tight process control — from metal clay firing and glass annealing to heat treating, sintering, and laboratory testing.

⚙️ Smart PID Control with Fuzzy Logic

At its core, the RF–Programmable PID Controller uses a fuzzy-logic enhanced PID algorithm, continuously learning and adjusting to maintain target temperatures with exceptional precision. The result: faster stabilization, minimal overshoot, and steady-state accuracy within ±0.2% of full scale.

This technology ensures reliable performance across a wide range of sensor types, load sizes, and environmental conditions — giving you the same consistency batch after batch.

⚡ Choose the Right Model for Your Setup

The RF–Programmable PID Controller series includes three model options tailored to your specific control needs:

SYL-2342P (Relay/Contactor Output)

• Built-in relay rated for 10A @ 120VAC (up to 1,200W load).

• Can control small heaters directly without an external relay.

• Also capable of driving larger external contactors or relays.

• Supports 17+ sensor types (TCs, RTDs, DC inputs).

• Ideal for compact setups and standalone heating elements.

SYL-2352P (External SSR Control Output)

• Provides 12VDC output signal for controlling external solid-state relays (SSR).

• Recommended for higher-power Tabletop Furnace models or systems requiring precise, isolated switching.

SYL-2372P (Built-In SSR Output)

• Features an integrated 2A zero-crossing SSR (20–240VAC) for quiet, stable switching.

• Reduces electrical noise caused by inductive loads.

• Designed for smaller systems, up to 300W @ 110VAC.

• Ideal for compact furnaces, test rigs, or light-duty automation.

Each model delivers the same programmable ramp/soak functionality and core PID precision — you just choose the output style that best matches your load or setup.
