Industrial heating
chamber controller
Curing, preheating, conditioning and drying ovens all need a temperature held for a set time. The RD150 runs the setpoint and the timer as one programme, integrated into a properly rated heating circuit with independent over-temperature protection.
THE PROBLEM
A heating chamber is simple until something goes wrong
Industrial heating chambers are used to cure coatings and adhesives, preheat parts, condition materials and dry components. The process requirement is usually plain: reach a temperature, hold it for a time, then stop. The risk is not plain. Heaters running into a stuck contactor or a failed sensor can damage product, the chamber and the building.
Many chambers in small factories are controlled by a basic thermostat and an operator with a watch. There is no record of whether a batch was held long enough, and quality teams have nothing to show a customer who asks for a cure log.
HOW WE SET IT UP
Control, protection and a record
Setpoint and soak time
The RD150 holds the temperature setpoint and runs the soak timer in one programme. Different parts or materials are stored as recipes, so the operator selects a job and the values load with it.
Rated heater circuits
We integrate the RD150 into properly rated heating control circuits. The controller drives the switching stage, and the contactors or solid-state switching are sized to the heater load during design.
Independent over-temperature protection
The RD150 has a built-in temperature cut-out and reports a failed sensor. On a heating chamber we add an independent over-temperature limiter with its own sensor that breaks the heater supply on its own, as good practice requires.
Cure logs for quality
Connected units send temperature and timer data to RIOD Live or your own server. Each batch can be exported as a PDF or Excel log with an audit trail for customer and internal audits.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
Does an industrial oven need a separate over-temperature cut-out?
Yes. Good practice for heating equipment is an independent over-temperature limiter with its own sensor that breaks the heater supply regardless of the main controller. We design one in alongside the RD150, which also has its own built-in cut-out.
Can the controller hold a temperature for a set curing time?
Yes. The RD150 runs the setpoint and the soak timer together and ends the cycle when the time is complete. Each job can be stored as a recipe.
Can it switch high-power heaters directly?
The RD150 drives a switching stage such as contactors or solid-state relays, which we size to the heater load in a properly rated circuit. This keeps the controller and the power stage each within their ratings.
Can I get a cure log for each batch?
Yes. A connected RD150 records temperature and timer data in RIOD Live or on your server, and you can export each batch as a PDF or Excel log with an audit trail.
