The CrossingTech Micro PID Controller controls the 20-mm heating coil of the Ruby Twist V1 and Ruby Twist Pro and is suitable as a replacement unit or for a second setup. It regulates temperatures from 0 to 537 °C or 0 to 995 °F in increments of 1 °C or 1 °F. The display can be switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit. According to the manufacturer, the compact controller reaches the target temperature approximately twice as quickly as common comparable controllers. The green top display shows the set target temperature and can be read from some distance thanks to the large green buttons. Once the target temperature has been reached, no continuous readings are displayed. The adjustable automatic shut-off timer offers operating times from one to five hours and can be disabled if required. Measuring 110 × 70 × 35 mm, the control unit requires little space. The controller automatically detects 110 or 220 V based on the connected heating coil. It connects via a 5-pin XLR connector. The package includes the Micro PID Controller and an instruction manual, but no EU power cable. You will therefore need a suitable EU IEC power cable for the appliance-side connector, like those used with many PC power supplies.

Temperature and operation

To switch the unit on or off, press and hold the center button for two seconds. Set the desired temperature in single increments using the plus and minus buttons. To configure the automatic shut-off timer, press the center button five times while the unit is switched on, then select a value from 0 to 5. Zero disables the timer, while values 1 to 5 represent hours. To change the unit, switch off the controller and hold the plus button for five seconds.

Connection and compatibility

The controller is designed for the 20-mm heating coil of the Ruby Twist V1 and Ruby Twist Pro and is compatible with 220-V heating coils from the CrossingTech system. The 5-pin XLR connector carries alternating current, the temperature sensor signal and earth. Do not use heating coils from other manufacturers: different pin assignments may damage both the heating coil and the controller. During heating, the housing to be heated or another suitable insert should already be seated inside the coil.

Dimensions and display

The housing measures 110 × 70 × 35 mm. The top features a green digital display and large green control buttons. It shows the set target temperature. Once the target value has been reached, the display does not provide a continuous temperature reading. The control range extends from 0 to 537 °C or from 0 to 995 °F. The unit is designed for 110 and 220 V and bears CE and RoHS markings.

Package contents and operation

The package includes a CrossingTech Micro PID Controller and an instruction manual. An EU power cable is not included. You will need a suitable IEC power cable for the standard appliance-side C13/C14 connection. Frequently switching the unit on and off during short breaks increases the number of heating and cooling cycles and may accelerate heating-coil wear. Do not leave the controller unattended while it is switched on, and switch it off before leaving the room.

FAQ

Is the Micro PID Controller compatible with the Ruby Twist V1 and Ruby Twist Pro?

Yes, the controller is intended for the 20-mm heating coil of the Ruby Twist V1 and Ruby Twist Pro. It is also compatible with 220-V heating coils from the CrossingTech system. You should not connect heating coils from other manufacturers because their pin assignments may differ.

Does this controller differ between the Ruby Twist V1 and Pro?

No, both versions use the same control unit. The Micro PID Controller is supplied with both the Ruby Twist V1 and the Ruby Twist Pro. It can therefore serve as a replacement unit or as the controller for a second setup with either kit.

Is an EU power cable included?

No, an EU power cable is not included. Only the Micro PID Controller and an instruction manual are supplied. You will need a separate EU IEC power cable for the standard C13/C14 connection, like those commonly used with PC power supplies.

How quickly does the controller heat up?

According to the description, the controller reaches the target temperature in approximately half the time required by common comparable controllers. The housing to be heated, the banger or another suitable insert should already be seated inside the heating coil while it is heating up.

How can heating-coil wear be reduced?

Avoid frequently switching the unit on and off during short breaks in use. Repeated heating and cooling cycles are considered the main cause of premature coil wear. Despite this recommendation, you must not leave the switched-on unit unattended and should switch it off when leaving the room.
