Tabletop Furnace RFProgrammable PID Temperature Controller (Ramp/Soak Model)

Precision Process Control. Fully Programmable Performance.

Take command of your temperature profiles with the Tabletop Furnace RFProgrammable PID Controller, a professional-grade control solution offering up to 30 programmable ramp/soak steps. Whether youre 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 RFProgrammable 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 RFProgrammable 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 RFProgrammable 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 (20240VAC) 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.

Core Features
