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.
SAFETY WARNINGS
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 to1800 watts.
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 operation. If the sensor is
left outside, the controller will assume the temperature is low even if
the controlled subject is already very hot. The controller will provide
full power to the heater. It will not only overheat the controller, but
also damage your appliance possibly causing a fire. If the sensor is
not permanently mounted on the system and is left outside of the
system, this could become a potential problem.
This controller is designed to control the devices recommended by
Auber Instruments only. Using it to control a not recommended
device can be dangerous and cause fire. Auber Instruments is not
liable for damages caused by misuse of the controller. If you are
not sure the controller can be used, please contact Auber
Instruments before use.
If an abnormal display or noise is observed, turn the controller off,
unplug the power cord and contact the manufacturer before using it
again.
Clean the controller only when it is cool and unplugged.
Do not allow children to operate the controller.
