The PID controller in this kit is specifically modified for home espresso brewing applications. Two additional parameters are included to balance the requirement of cold start speed, shot recovery speed and long term stability. This is specially important for Barista becasue its small boiler size that is difficult to control. (this is a different controller than our universal controller SYL-1512).
A platinum RTD temperature sensor is used which is more accurate and has greater long-term stability than thermocouple sensors. Temperature variations within the controllers environment will not affect the accuracy of its reading.
The sesnor is specially made to fit the Barista thermostat mounting bracket. All the cables in the kit have high temperature endurance as the original cables used by the manufacture. We use color coded cables with either fluoropolymer or silicone insulation.
This will prevent the potential electrical shock resulting from PVC insulated wires touching the boiler during operation. In order to save customers time on assembling and reduce the chance of making mistake, we also pre-assembled these parts and set all parameters for the controller. This reduces the project time from days (or even weeks considering ordering these parts separately) to less than an hour. The kit works for 120 VAC and 240VAC. Please specify if you want it changed.The default color of the controller box is silver. Please specify if you want black box for a colored machine. Note: Espresso Machine is not included in this listing. It will be delivered about 1-2 weeks to Canada, 3-4 weeks to other countries.
