auber pid kit gaggia classic

See here for details. You effectively would have two steam modes, one PID-controlled that replaces the brew mode, and one classic thermostat-controlled steam mode. . The best part is I am only in about $40 on my kit compared to around $150 for the pre made kits. Replacing that wire= everything works perfectly now! Hello Chris, . It should be the power/mains line that comes out of the main power switch, but before the boiler. It will void your warranty, the possibility for making errors or breaking things during installation is too high, and the amount of time it takes would make it cost prohibitive. What you do get from the PID as per this guide in steam mode is the ability to see exactly what the temperature of the boiler is, so you can time your steaming to start during a heating cycle, which essentially gives you unlimited steam. The two mains wires connect to terminals 1 and 2 (starting counter-clockwise from top-left). The REX-C100 should work out of the box, set for heating mode, with alarms disabled, and units set to Celsius. Is there an easy way to set a brewing and steam temp? Posted by 4 years ago. But Ive downloaded the wiring diagram for my machine. Gaggia Classic Coffee Machine Modelo 3D TurboSquid 1036412. I have to turn the set point on the PID down to about 85C to stop it boiling and getting steam and a great deal of sputter out of the portafilter. 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. Like NEW Gaggia Classic Espresso w/ Grinder and Base - - 6758821731. Please see the compatible model list below (Note 1 on the bottom). The GC comes from the factory with a simple thermostat that turns on at a certain pre-set temperature, and turns off at another pre-set temperature. Fast, Free Shipping. This works well with a PID for light & medium roasts. A cheap multimeter is all you need. Set the cover and screws aside. The on/off temperature can be adjusted by the user. Unlike the 7200 model, this one does not have SSR inside. I tested the current with multimeter and it is showing DC 100V when I turn on the on-off switch. That is confusing. I decided that for me, its not worth worrying about. But it will require some dismantling of the work you have done. I guess I could revert the machine and see what I get. Hi Chris, Ive followed these instructions exactly (thank you for your thoroughness) except for how the mains were tapped: I moved the two wires terminating on the bottom of the power switch to the top, and tapped them (as per another guide). PID TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER W/ 30 RAMP / SOAK, KILN $81.98. My problem is that since installing the mod, my machine gets way too hot and boils. I start to run the steam at about 130 in the heating cycle on my setup. Ill dismantle on a cleaning weekend and test the thermocouple again. Do I got the kit with pre-infusion or just the standard one? Be careful, the edges of the hole in the chassis are very sharp. I was initially concerned about my wiring (and my GFI) but its reassuring to hear you have the same side effects. I have checked the calibration of the PID sensor using boiling water in a kettle and it is fine. The PID is really converting the mains voltage to 12VDC both for its internal operation and to drive the SSR, so the PIDs draw is quite small. At a minimum, I think you would need the following: I dont see piggyback connectors on Mr Shades list, maybe those are part of the set of wires, but its not clear. Thanks a lot for the answer. The black box has a durable powder coating. Take your time, think it through, and be patient. The kit installation is fully reversible. Leave this cable longer than needed for now, it will be trimmed and terminated later. Before replacing the thermostat, maybe check whether your PID and thermocouple are calibrated, before committing to buying more parts. Nikola. One thing I would really recommend when anyone installs a PID system into the Gaggia Classic is to install a rubber grommet where the cables exit the machine. I have a 2013 Gaggia Classic. Some people have done this by replacing the water filler funnel and 3D printing a replacement cover. With a SV of 103C (not offset), during initial overshoot the heater would sometimes be one when it was at 104-105C with the temperature rising as high as 108. Did you make any changes to the setting of the PID? great article !!!! Fast, Free Shipping. Im running into problems and I dont know if my REX-C100s starting values are the problem or if its my deviation with the wiring: Regardless of the temperature that i set on my PID, toggling the Gaggia on causes it to climb to 150-160C and then slowly decline to 118-125C, at which time it will heat up again. I can actually taste the sweetness for the first time. My theory at the moment would be that due to the PID control the heater is sometimes on at higher temperatures. Does this pid control both the group head water and steam wand? (For orders placed recently in 2022) If you placed the order as a guest, you cantry the, (For orders placed a while ago) Please log in and download the manual from your order history page. Disconnect the two connectors from the brew thermostat, which is located on the bottom left-hand side of the boiler as you face the machine. Terrific write-up thank you for posting it! It is a really tight fit to get the REX C-100 PID inside the machine. I recently acquired a Gaggia Classic with an Auber PID controller installed. Hi Jeff. The sensor has three wires: 1 x red and 2 x white. If so, any idea how it can be achieved? 4.8. Jun 25, 2014 - Auber Instruments, Inc. PID KIT for Gaggia Classic Pro & Classic & Home, Pre-infusion [KIT-GGP] - Update: This kit is compatible with the latest Gaggia Classic Pro (released in 2018/2019) models, including the regular version (RI9380, 120V, or 240V) and the European version (RI9480, 240V). (PID Temperature Controller Meter Indicator, Jaybva Digital Universal Thermostat C and Fahrenhe F Display SSR and Alarm Output 40A Solid State Relay and Thermocouple Probe Heat Sink Included)? I have to mention that coffee taste is good, not harsh or bitter. Others have managed to also install the PID horizontally and cut out a hole in the side of the GC, but that still requires replacing the water filler funnel. Its threaded on, and should not be very tight. Neutral is the return path for the hot or load wire. Some shops are quoting $80.00 for the PID enclosure + lid. It is still showing the M4 screw as the Crossed out/wrong one, and can be a bit confusing. For the Gaggia Classic, taking into account the temperature drop between the boiler and the group head (5-8 degrees C), the PID target temperature should be set to about 103 degrees C or 220 degrees F at sea level. Final note: before going down the PID route, the easiest modification to make, and the best starting point for Gaggia Classic modifications, is lowering the brew pressure. Is 103 degree Celsius the best target temperature fit the PID? What you describe is pretty normal, except that I am a bit surprised that your steam drops temperature down to 102. But follow chriss advice and be careful and you should be OK. And also use a rubber grommet to route your wires through the slots in the back of the chassis. Ive set the Sn value to pt for the PT100. Hi Chris, I completed the whole project both for brewing for PID and steaming via alarm. Range: -1999 to 9999 (depends on the input signal) Is P=620 maybe an overkill, as I havent seen such a big value at other places? One last question: Auber and Mr Shades are calling their sensors PT100 while mine is K type thermocouple. No gross taste. (I am not testifying to the quality of the shots! My only concern is the diagramm I downloaded from whole latte love shows different connections then what I have seen in my unit It should work as a replacement for the C-100 and SSR, but because the SSR is built into the PID, so your wiring will be a bit different. But, I still get loads of steam and spray before it settles down. Hi Brian. Regulate the standby coffee water temperatureto within 1 (F or C) accuracy. . Have you checked the temperature accuracy of your PID & Thermocouple? Warning! The thermocouple that I ordered fit into the threaded adapter without any modifications. Im on [emailprotected] (Available for download after purchasing the kit. Looks like thats not an option. I am now waiting for my PID unit and thermocouple with M4 head to arrive this week. It has worked without issue so far, and maybe thats bound to happen to the plastic as current goes through and it gets old, but would love to hear other opinions. The Gaggia Classic is a very capable espresso machine that gets even better with a couple of improvements. Approach 2: Divert from my writeup by installing the thermocouple so that it replaces the steam thermostat, and set the PID temperature to your preferred steam temperature. i heard from some that the PT100 with the M4 is more accurate. The way I wired the PID leaves it powered on as long as the main power switch is on. Otherwise, it all works properly now. You could definitely drill out the adapter a bit to get the thermocouple to fit. I should pointed out that the temperature ranges I was referring to were with the -8C offset on the PID. Im wondering if this could somehow be the outcome of a bad SSR: Im not seeing current flow between the two AC terminals of the SSR when the PID is attempting to heat the boiler to the Set Temp. Maybe this could serve instead of trying to find an M4 thermocouple. Most thermocouple calibration articles that I have read use ice water to calibrate to zero degrees C because the boiling point of water varies with altitude. It shows that neutral cables coming from thermostats are connecting each other under the steam switch but mine are connected under the main switch. I am guessing that its caused by the current draw of the boiler heater. There are four buttons on the front: SET, run-program, up-arrow, down-arrow. Hello, there is another model without SSR built in with name 7100 instead of 7200. This steam blipping is a fairly common practice that people use to avoid boiler heater cycling, its just another way to do temperature surfing. Without offset the range is between 109-159, still too low. If anyone is 3d printing the enclosure and doesnt want to tape or otherwise attach it to the Gaggia, I have made these small hooks that can be glued on to the enclosure: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4938828. Regardless of which thermocouple you choose to use, you will also need to factor in an offset no matter what thermocouple you use, and this is really based on your tastes. Ill try to get a new thermostat from a reputable place, see if that solves the problem, and if it remains then something else in the machine is wrong. Posted by 2 years ago.
