Rated 3 out of 5 by from Outstanding controller, abysmal manual. This would be a 5+ star product if it weren't for the extraordinarily poor manual. This is a complex controller with a tremendous number of features and settings that can handle very difficult process control problems easily...once you figure out how to use it. Technical support, while very well meaning and committed to helping, was of not much assistance as they also relied on the same manual, and generally suggested "reading the manual" as a way out. I wouldn't have called if I hadn't read the manual. I will admit, that I am old, but I have been using Omega controllers for decades with few problems. The descriptions in the manual for this excellent controller were abysmal.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from DONT DO THSI TO YOURSELF! Extremely hard to program. You don't want to be spending hours just trying to program a simple step heating process and it still not working. Instructions aren't the best. There is no sense of hierarchy in the instruction steps nor a clear description of what each term means.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Already purchased a second time Controller was shipped and received quickly, works perfectly for our temp control at the brewery.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Capable, Simple, Affordable Controller Handy little controller that has worked flawlessly so far. Installed to replace the failing electronics in a drying oven and found it easy to adapt to relatively low temperature use with the appropriate limits and alarms. Has brought control temperatures (using the same sensor) within 2C of the setpoint compared to 10C with the older electronics.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from DON'T The unit was so hard to program that even with Omega engineers helping/instructing me over the phone I could not get it to work. After 4 calls and about 8 hours on the phone I gave up.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Controller Great controller but Tech Support thru "Contact Support" on website had little knowledge of how to help with controller functions. Some trial and error, and too much manual reading to make it do what I wanted.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great programmable controller This controller is just what I needed to upgrade my existing furnace controller to a controller with program/profile capabilities. It does everything I need it to do for this application. The only drawback is that the buttons are difficult to push, but once set up, this is a minor issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cost Wise This is a cost wise controller that performs well. Omega is a trusted Company I have used for years.

When making a pattern with many steps, I see we can choose the temperature and time of each step and set an initial slope. However, this slope applies to all the steps. Is it possible to give each step a different slope so I can have different rates?

Asked by: ktb1165
Hi KTB1165, Thank you for the inquiry. Recipes consist of Setpoint (SP) and time (Ti) to the set point. Ramp rate is determined by the initial SP to final SP difference and the time Ti to the target. Best regards, OMEGA

What is the depth CN16D3-R-AC? I am able to find the panel cut out but am unable to find the depth the unit will stick into the cabinet.

Asked by: Zach1234
Thank you for your inquiry, the depth of the CN16D3-R-AC is 105.7 mm or 4.18 inches.

In operation mode, screen says "No cont" instead of "1234." What does this mean? I can't find anything in the manual about it.

Asked by: ktb1165
Thank you for your inquiry ktb1165. We at OMEGA would be happy to help you with your issue. However, due to this being a more complicated issue please call 1-888-826-6342, ask for Temperature Engineering and speak to one of our temperature engineers over the phone so we may better assist you troubleshooting this controller.

We are using this controller for temperature ranges 400/600C. How often do you recommend the controller be calibrated? I did not find any calibration recommendation in the Manual.

Asked by: Stephanie FD
Omega recommends most instruments be calibrated once per year and more often in critical applications.

Do you have a heater contactor for running (2) 1500 Watt, 240 VAC heaters ? Need (2) contactors each rated for 10 or 15A, in an enclosure.
