I just received the dual probe auber pid and I'm confused. I've printed the instructions on how to program it and my "set" button does not seem to do anything. I'm thinking it may not be working. To program the temperature, I'm suppose to push the set button and then use the + or - buttons to adjust the temperature, but nothing happens with I push the set button.
Am I doing something wrong to set the temperature?
I have two and the button on one of mine I have to push hard.
Make sure you are connected to your cabinet (from the Auber)
After the set button is pushed you should see CO1.
What do you mean when you say connnected to the cabinet?
I tried it all connected to the OBS and no change. Wouldn't think that would make a difference anyway.
On the OBS, the cord from the center of your cabinet has to be replace with a different cord and ran to the Auber.
take a look at this.

Does it have to be connected to the OBS in order to set the temperature? I think I had it connected properly to the OBS, but I will have to research that again with the instructions.
When you have everything hooked up and you turn the Auber on, what does the display show?
The slide control needs to be wide open also. (to the right)
I get the current temperature reading is all I get. Basically it is an expensive thermometor is what I have at this point.
I did not have the slide control on at all, so I will have to try that after I get done with the bacon wrapped chicken breast I'm smoking right now.
I did have it hooked up properly when I had it on. I didn't realize that I had to have it all hooked up and everything turned on just to play around with it so I knew how to use it. I thought I could sit in the house and figure out the settings before I tried it out.
Sorry, you should be able to do your setting without hooking it to the Bradley.
I didn't realize that. I just tryed it on both mine.
That is what I thought. So, I'm pretty sure mine is defective then. Because nothing happens when I press the set button. Obviously, something should happen so I can change the temp and various other settings. I'll have to send it back and have them send a new one. Dang it! :-\
DID you hoof the probes up, if not you will get an -H- reading.
I just disconnected my probes and I STILL can change the settings.
Call Suyi in the morning or before 6.
He is really a nice guy and will probably have you run thru a few steps on it.
Like BLSH ask .... what do you see when you turn yours on?
try pushing the set button a little harder.
Ok I read what you stated.
Like I said one of mine the set button is kinda hard to push.
send Suyi an email, he has responded on weekends
You don't need to have it hooked to the Bradley to play with it, but you will need Probe 1 (the short straight one) at a minimum and probe 2 in addition if you re programming for IT control. Turn it on, try as CRG suggested pushing the set button and press hard enough you feel a little click. If you don't advance to a reading of C01, try pressing the + button just once, that should show the current step (e.g., P01). Let us know what happens.
I don't get the C01 when I press the set button. If I press the set button and then push the + button, I get the P01, but I can't do anything with it once I get to P01.
I have all the probes in when I tried to do my settings.
I can definately hear the click on the set button when I push it, so I don't think there is an issue with not pushing it hard enough.
Who is suyi? I assume I just ask for him when I call the customer service number?
Okay then it looks like your functioning, but as you intially suggested it sounds like your Set function is kaput. Suyi Liu is "The Man" at Auber. If he isn't travelling he will probably answer the phone, but to help expedite things send him an email with a complete description of symptoms and what you've tried. You might even get an answer from him before tomorrow morning. You can use this email address

If you press the set button and it brings you to CO1, press again for temp or time, choose time.
press the set button again and then use the + or - to adjust your time.
press the set button again and it brings you to CO2, etc.
I wish I got a C01 show up on mine, but I don't get that code when I press set. I'm going to email suyi and see if he can help me out. Could be I just got a bum auber.
It was a bad auber. Got the new one and it worked like a charm. Set it at 230 degrees and it didn't budge from it. Thanks Suyi!
Glad you got it worked out and yep Suyi is top notch.
