If you are tired of tearing your gas capillary kiln controller off the wall (and out of your kiln!) every couple years for repair, you are ready for a CK1160-2X!  The CK1160-2X was designed as a direct replacement for old gas capillary kiln controllers:  It provides pneumatic actuation of your heat, vent and spray valves via readings from front and back Dry Bulb sensors and a back Wet Bulb sensor, and provides a 7-day circular chart of the conditions inside the kiln (when optional chart recorder is added, not shown here).

The CK1160-2X is PCSI's 'standard' kiln controller which is based on our Electrical Kiln Controller, we have built and installed dozens of these units over the years (check out our customer list!).  Since they are a direct upgrade to the Irvington Moore gas capillary controller, the same exact kiln controller can work on a large number of existing kilns with minimal upgrade effort (here at PCSI, Dennis and I have the retrofit down to about three man-hours.  Typically, the CK1160-2X can re-use the existing power connection, the only additional wiring needing run is a single conductor from the reversing starter to switch RTD's from front to back and the RTD cable itself (one 'pull' to each RTD sensor).  

What Else Should I Know?

There is something in here that you maybe have never thought of:  SETPOINT RAMPING.  When you use setpoint ramping, your Dry Bulb will increase at the rate you set: if you set the rate at 1.0'F per hour, and then increase the setpoint 10 degrees, the controller will smoothly raise the Dry Bulb 10'F degrees over a period of 10 hours, 1'F per hour.  Furthermore, you can ramp Wet Bulb right along side the Dry Bulb, improving drying while easing the load on your boiler.

Plus you have a choice of Wet Bulb or RH transmitter.

And you can add computer control with remote access now or in the future.
