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 N20K48 PID temperature controller is crafted for users who are new to temperature control. It combines ease of use with high-performance features typically found in premium controllers. Simply turn on the oven and set the desired temperature, or use the Novus Quicktune App for more accessible programming through your smartphone or tablet. Alternatively, you can program it manually using the onboard buttons. The Novus N20K48 can store up to 20 programs, each with a maximum of 9 segments.
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 Controller
The TAP Pro controller is a sophisticated, full-color touchscreen controller offering unlimited programmability. Easily set up your programs on the screen or through the TAP mobile app. Every Hot Shot Pro oven is outfitted with the TAP controller and built-in Wi-Fi for an enhanced user experience. The TAP app lets you create and monitor programs in real-time, set notifications, review firing logs with minute-by-minute data, and receive push notifications. The TAP controller also allows you to manage maintenance schedules and make real-time adjustments to ongoing programs.
