PID KIT for European Gaggia Classic, pre-infusion, RI9403
This PID controller kit is designed to retrofit into the European Gaggia Classic espresso machine made after 2015 (which has energy saving timer). Its installation manual is based on Gaggia Classic 2016 (Model#: RI9403/11). With a PID controller added to the heater control circuit, brew water temperature can be controlled to within ±1° accuracy. Thus, it will significantly improve the taste of your espresso. Users can also easily adjust the brew water temperature to suit their own tastes. LED display color: RedUnique featuresThe PID controller in this kit is specifically modified for Gaggia Espresso machine. Additional parameters are included to balance the requirements of cold start speed, shot recovery speed and long term stability. The platinum RTD temperature sensor (RTDstat) used is more accurate and has greater long-term stability than thermocouple sensors. Temperature variations within the controller’s environment will not affect the accuracy of its reading. In addition, the sensor is built in a shape similar to the original thermostat, to fit the same place.All the cables in the kit have higher temperature endurances than 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 caused by PVC insulated wires touching the boiler during operation.The installation is completely reversible if you ever want to sell the machine or send it to service.To install the kit, users will need the following: Basic knowledge of electronics wiring and safety Screw driver, pliers, a socket wrench and small amount of alcohol. 30-60 minutes of time.More important: No requirement to learn how to set up the PID controller (usually, this is the most challenging part of the project for espresso drinkers with little electronics background).Basic feature: Control brew temperature. Custom manufactured PID temperature controller with parameters pre-set for Gaggia. Bright anodized aluminum box with mounting slot pre-cut and wiring hole sealed with rubber grommet. Solid state relay with mounting hardware and heat conductive paste. Platinum RTD temperature sensor made to fit the thermostat clip on the machine High temperature resistant wires, color coded, cut to length and terminated with proper connectors Detailed installation guide and operation manual with text and photosSteam control feature: The steam temperature is controlled by the same controller that controls the brew water temperature. For user, the operation is the same as regular machine; no extra button is needed to press for frothing. When the steam switch is turned on, the on/off temperature of the heater is controlled to 1 degree (F or C) difference as compared with original thermostat’s >10C (or 20F) difference. With this tight temperature control, you do not have to surf the temperature for frothing because the heater will kick on much sooner than the original thermostat. The on/off temperature can be adjusted by the user. Pre-infusion feature: The pre-infusion is achieved by pumping a small amount of water into the coffee, holding off the pump for a second to let water soak in, then starting the 25 second pumping. This will prevent abrupt high pressure water on the dry coffee powder that can create some fast flow channel to ruin the brewing. It will improve the consistency of the brewing even if you didn’t tamp the coffee perfectly. The extraction timer contains three segments: pre-infusion pulse (Tp), soak (Td), and brew (Tb). Each segment can be set by user with 0.1second resolution. When the “>” key is pressed, the controller starts the brewing sequence automatically. The pump can be stopped at any time by pressing the “>” key a second time. This feature allows you to operate the brew pump manually, with the timer as a reference. User can also bypass the timer to use switch on the machine for manual controlling the brewing process. The pre-infusion timer can also be used as countdown shot timer. User needs to disable Tp, Td, and only uses Tb as shot timer to pump a specific time. Note 1: This kit works for 220V (European) or 110V (US or Canada) power supplies. Order shipped outside of US will be set for Celsius unit by default. For orders shipped with US, Fahrenheit units will be set by default. Please specify if you want it changed. Note 2: Gaggia Classic machine is not included in this listing. Note 3: This kit doesn’t fit Gaggia Class which has traditional Gaggia aluminium boiler, including 14101, RI8161/40 and RI9303 models.

Our kit is compatible but it doesn’t disable this feature. If you want to defeat the auto-power-off feature, pleaes contact seller. This is the most advanced PID kit for Rancilio Silvia that Auber Instruments offers. This PID controller kit has all the features of our other listing titled “PID temperature control kit for Rancilio Silvia, Deluxe” with the addition of extraction timer and steam temperature control. It also has a blue LED display that looks very nice. This kit has pre-infusion timer. The pre-infusion is achieved by pumping a small amount of water into the coffee, holding off the pump for a second to let water soak in, then starting the 25 second pumping. This will prevent high pressure water making contact with the dry coffee powder that can create a fast flow channel, ruining the brewing process. Although pre-infusion will not improve the taste of the coffee, it will improve the consistency of the brewing even if you didn’t tamp the coffee perfectly. The extraction timer contains three segments: pre-infusion pulse (Tp), soak (Td), and brew (Tb). Each segment can be set by user with 0.1second resolution. When the “>” key is pressed, the controller starts the brewing sequence automatically. The pump can be stopped at any time by pressing the “>” key a second time. This feature allows you to operate the brew pump manually, with the timer as a reference. User can also bypass the timer to use switch on the machine for manual controlling the brewing process. The pre-infusion timer can also be used as a shot timer. User needs to disable Tp, Td, and only uses Tb as shot timer to pump a specific time. This blue special edition controller has a COUNT-UP pre-infusion timer. The functionality of the special edition is the same as the regular version. The only difference is that the timer in the Special Edition is a count-up timer instead of count-down. The steam temperature control allows the boiler temperature to be hold at tighter range during frothing. To the user, the operation is the same as regular machine; no extra button is needed to press for frothing. When the steam switch is turned on, the on/off temperature of the heater is controlled to 1 degree (F or C) difference as compared with original thermostat’s >10C (or 20F) difference. With this tight temperature control, you do not have to surf the temperature for frothing because the heater will kick on much sooner than the original thermostat. The froth temperature can be adjusted by the user.The installation is completely reversible if you ever want to sell the machine or send it in for servicing.Please note this listing is for the PID kit only. Espresso machine is not included.The PID parameter setting is for Fahrenheit units if it is shipped to a US destination. All units shipped outside US will be set for Celsius temperature unit.

PID control kit Rancilio Silvia w/ RTD screw sensor
Model#: KIT-RSRTD This PID controller kit is designed for retrofitting into the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine made after 2000 and before September 2006. By adding a PID controller to the heater control circuit, brewing water temperature can be controlled to ±1 F° accuracy. Thus, it will significantly improve the taste of your espresso. Users can also easily adjust the brew water temperature to suit their own tastes. The kit includes: · Custom manufactured PID temperature controller with parameters set for the machine. · Controller box with stainless steel panel that matches the brush finish of the machine. · Solid state relay with mounting hardware and heat conductive paste. · Platinum RTD temperature sensor with tip made for the thermowell on the machine · High temperature resistant wires, color coded, cut to length and terminated with proper connectors · Instructional CD with text and photos. To install the kit, users will need the following: · Knowledge of electronics wiring and safety. · Screw driver, pliers, a socket wrench and small amount of alcohol. · 40-60 minutes of time. No requirement for special tools. No requirement to learn how to set up the PID controller (usually, this is the most challenging part of the project for espresso drinkers with no control engineering background). Unique features. 1) 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 a different controller than our universal controller SYL-1512) Fig 1 is the temperature response curve. 2) 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 sensor is built inside of a screw and will fit into the existing thermowell on the boiler’s top surface. Our test results show that this provides more accurate temperature measurement and control results than that from a sensor mounted on the boiler’s top surface. 3) All the cables in the kit have higher temperature endurance than 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. 4) The size of this controller is one of the most compact on the market. With a custom made enclosure, we can mount the controller between the group head and steam wand without interfering with their function. This mounting makes “it almost looks like it came with the Silvia!”…… as one of our customer wrote to us. Compared with buying the controller and components separately, this kit is a great value. It not only offers better performance but also saves you time and money. The kit includes 20 different types of parts that would cost substantially more if purchased separately (26 pieces total). In order to save customer’s time on assembling and reduce the chance of making mistake, we also pre-assembled these parts and set all parameters for the controller. The only work needed to be done by the customer, either has to be done during installation or is difficult to ship pre-assembled. This reduces the project time from days (or even weeks considering ordering these parts separately) to less than an hour. Note 1: this kit will not work for Rancilio Silvia manufactured before 2000 and after September 2006. The manufacture date of Silvia is printed in the last row of the label on the bottom of the machine. If it says 0506, it means it is made on May 2006. The newer machine does not have the threaded thermowell. If you have a newer machine, you can purchase our regular kit with thermocouple sensor or a top mount RTD sensor.Note 2: Silvia espresso machine is not included in this listing. Note 3: For advanced features like pre-infusion timer (countdown shot timer) and steam temperature control, please see our advanced kit. Part number: KIT-RSPb. *Shipping note for international/non-US customers: The default international shipping method for this listing is FedEx or DHL. Estimate delivery time is about one week.

In addition, the sensor is built inside of a screw and will fit into the existing thermowell for the coffee thermostat 3) 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. Compared with buying the controller and components separately, this kit is a great value. It not only offers better performance but also saves you time and money. The kit includes 20 different types of parts that would cost substantially more if purchased separately (26 pieces total). In order to save customer’s time on assembling and reduce the chance of making mistake, we also pre-assembled these parts and set all parameters for the controller. The only work needed to be done by the customer, either has to be done during installation or is difficult to ship pre-assembled. This reduces the project time from days (or even weeks considering ordering these parts separately) to less than an hour. 6-month warranty and 30 days money back guarantee is offered. The kit works for 120 VAC and 240VAC. The default PID parameter setting is for Fahrenheit units for order shipped within US. Order shipped outside of US will be set for Celsius. Please specify if you want it changed. The default color of the controller box is silver. Please specify if you want black box for Gaggia Coffee.Note 1: Gaggia Espresso machine is not included in this listing. Note 2: For advanced features like pre-infusion timer (countdown shot timer) and steam temperature control, please see our advanced kit. Part number: KIT-GGP. Note 3: This kit fits the Gaggia Classic Pro (RI9380/46, released in early 2019), Gaggia Classic & Home (which has the traditional Gaggia aluminum boiler) including 14101, RI8161/40, and RI9303 models.

PID kit for Rancilio Silvia Espresso, w/ Pre-infusion, White Display
Model#: KIT-RSPb, WhiteProduct Updates: 1) This kit is compatible with ALL Silvia versions, including the latest V4, V5 (E or M), and V6 (E or M). 2) The Silvia V5 and V6 sold in European countires has an auto-power-off feature. Our kit is compatible but it doesn’t disable this feature. If you want to defeat the auto-power-off feature, pleaes contact seller. This is the most advanced PID kit for Rancilio Silvia that Auber Instruments offers. This PID controller kit has all the features of our other listing titled “PID temperature control kit for Rancilio Silvia, Deluxe” with the addition of extraction timer and steam temperature control. It also has a white LED display that looks very nice. This kit has pre-infusion timer. The pre-infusion is achieved by pumping a small amount of water into the coffee, holding off the pump for a second to let water soak in, then starting the 25 second pumping. This will prevent high pressure water making contact with the dry coffee powder that can create a fast flow channel, ruining the brewing process. Although pre-infusion will not improve the taste of the coffee, it will improve the consistency of the brewing even if you didn’t tamp the coffee perfectly. The countdown extraction timer contains three segments: pre-infusion pulse (Tp), soak (Td), and brew (Tb). Each segment can be set by user with 0.1second resolution. When the “>” key is pressed, the controller starts the brewing sequence automatically. The pump can be stopped at any time by pressing the “>” key a second time. This feature allows you to operate the brew pump manually, with the timer as a reference. User can also bypass the timer to use switch on the machine for manual controlling the brewing process. The pre-infusion timer can also be used as countdown shot timer. User needs to disable Tp, Td, and only uses Tb as shot timer to pump a specific time. The steam temperature control allows the boiler temperature to be hold at tighter range during frothing. To the user, the operation is the same as regular machine; no extra button is needed to press for frothing. When the steam switch is turned on, the on/off temperature of the heater is controlled to 1 degree (F or C) difference as compared with original thermostat’s >10C (or 20F) difference. With this tight temperature control, you do not have to surf the temperature for frothing because the heater will kick on much sooner than the original thermostat. The froth temperature can be adjusted by the user.The installation is completely reversible if you ever want to sell the machine or send it in for servicing.Please note this listing is for the PID kit only. Espresso machine is not included.The PID parameter setting is for Fahrenheit units if it is shipped to a US destination. All units shipped outside US will be set for Celsius temperature unit. Please specify if you want it set differently.*Warranty: 6 month warranty is offered to protect our buyers from defective parts only. We are not liable for any damages caused due to improper use or abuse.*Shipping note for international/non-US customers: The default international shipping method for this listing is FedEx or DHL.
