Inkbird PID Temperature Controller Kit, High Voltage 100ACV to 240ACV

7/31/26 Good controller, easy set up and runs great. I use these in control panels I make for smokers, water cookers and some other applications that I need varriable amperage controls. Fair price for a good controller. I like it.

Finally, an inexpensive controller that functions as described. PID loop is a true PID controller, not just some pretend imitation. I programmed it to maintain .01 degree accuracy...and it was spot on. There are a few variants of this units by other vendors that I have purchased - some don't control worth a hoot, others will only display C not F, and finally, with 3 PHD's I could not program the other units...This one, was a piece of cake to program! Easy to use, thank you. The instructions were well thought out and large enough in print to read, unlike some other brands that are hidden and so small a microscope is needed to read them...

1st I ordered wouldn’t power up. They replaced it and this one works great. Very good customer service. I’d buy from them again

The controller and relay are both of good quality and function well. Instructions could be better, but You Tube has tutorials that help. the thermocouple is in my opinion not a good one, it was off by 30 degrees. I would recommend this product, but plan on buying a better thermocouple

Great product for a great price. It was basically set up and ready to go and the few things I needed to change were easy to do with the instructions. It's been great for my home brew system

Finally got this set up in a temporary configuration. I will be putting it all in a box. I bought it for brewing beer, though it could be used for many other things. Tuned it the other day, and am well into my boil as I write this. I like the bright readouts, and the ability to change temps without having to open a device. Pros: Works great. Easy to set up. Auto-learning is a breeze. Temps were spot on. Cons: I didn't think about the fact that I needed a 1/2" NPT thermo-couple. My bad. and easily rectified. The SSR runs a little warm. Not that big a deal, I threw on a bigger heat sink and some thermal paste. In All I am very happy and will be purchasing a second for my HLT very soon. Thanks again Ink-Bird for another useful product that is affordable.

I used this to control a hot plate made from ¾ inch thick aluminum plate and cartridge heaters. I used the auto-tune feature to get started, then tweaked the Ctl and PID settings until I was able to achieve a variation of only plus or minus 0.5 degrees C from the set point, at a steady state temperature. With all the thermal mass in the plate, it was necessary to switch off power to the heater cartridges at least 20 degrees below the set point on initial heat-up, to avoid too much temperature overshoot. I would then switch the heaters back on as it eased up to the set point. I like that you can store an offset to calibrate the K type sensor. Be sure to use a good thermal paste designed for computer cpu’s when mounting the SSR to the heat sink.

Keeps settings if you just press SET after you finish programming. My apologies for not understanding that before leaving an unfair review. The unit itself worked for a couple months perfectly. Then it allowed my 30 Amp heater to overheat and damage my machine. Pulling it apart, the SSR was burnt. It was rated at 40 Amps, should not have been an issue. After installing a contactor/seperate voltage set up, the unit worked for about 2 days, then started flickering on and off, no matter the settings. I don't know if it was the failing SSR that damaged the controller, or if the controller itself was faulty, but I'm guessing the faulty SSR did the damage. I would use again on a smaller load, but never on a 30A or more load again where heat control is critical.

debo probarlo para ver si al menos funcionalmente es bueno

Good
