Table 1 lists default settings for the SV of the controller. Based on the discussions from forums,
the generally accepted setting for Silvia PID has been around 228-229 ºF for sensors mounted on
the top of boiler.
The values in table 1 have been adjusted for the RTD sensor. We found the
temperature in the thermowell is about 2
º
C (3.5
º
F) lower than that on the top of the boiler after
the machine is equilibrated for 45 minutes or longer. Since SV can be easily changed, it will up
to the user to decide what the best temperature is for the espresso.

.
For the current model of SYL-1512, you can try the following setting.
SouF=1.0, P=3.0, I=100, D=40
SouF=1.0, P=3.3, I=183, D=45
SouF=1.0, P=4.0, I=200, D=50
Please note that these numbers only apply to RTD sensor. They are independent with the
temperature display unit. Either F or C will work.
