When selecting your Hot Shot oven, you have the choice between the standard NOVUS Controller or the upgraded Genesis Spark or TAP Pro Controllers. Here’s how they compare to help you make an informed decision.
Novus Controller
The Novus N1030T SET & GO offers precise and stable temperature control with its advanced PID algorithm. Its simple "SET & GO" functionality lets you set your desired temperature, while the controller automatically manages the heating process to maintain it. Equipped with a built-in timer for added versatility, this reliable and cost-effective controller is the standard solution for the HS-360T tempering oven.
Genesis Spark Controller
The Genesis Spark is a highly adaptable touchscreen controller that manages kiln temperatures with precision, making it suitable for a wide range of materials like metals, ceramics, and jewelry. It includes industry-specific presets and supports up to 30 custom programs. Equipped with Wi-Fi, the Genesis Spark allows for seamless software updates, built-in diagnostics, maintenance logs, and automatic PID adjustments. By pairing it with the Bartlett KilnAid app, you can monitor your kiln remotely and receive real-time alerts.
TAP II Controller
This model can be upgraded to include the TAP II controller, delivering enhanced performance and user-friendly control. Its vibrant, full-color touchscreen offers an intuitive way to program and monitor your kiln, making firing setup straightforward and efficient.
With built-in Wi-Fi, the TAP II connects to the SDS online app, giving you the ability to adjust firing schedules on the go, review firing history, and receive real-time updates from your mobile device. The controller is equipped with Special Limits thermocouples for precision temperature readings and a non-metallic faceplate that boosts wireless connectivity and withstands high temperatures.
Whether you’re managing one kiln or overseeing production work, the TAP II ensures reliable operation, accurate control, and a smoother overall firing experience.
