Default PID selection

when I built my system the PID of choice was a SYL-2352 and have started to work on plans for my dual fuel system and it seams that the PID of choice has changed to the 2362. Just wondering why?

I have seem some TERRIBLE advice on here in the past few months. I may even be guilty of bad advice myself.

The PIDs I bought for my Brutus rig really SUCK! Plus the "smart" honeywell intermittent pilot spark ignitors are sometimes too smart. I use it mostly in the dumbest down mode I can choose otherwise it incessantly cycles on and off. I think the brand is ToHo.

Word of advice, is unless you are extremely knowledgable about these devices, get the one with the BEST instruction sheet. Mine is in engRish, not English, and is very confusing.

How in the world did you come to that conclusion? (SYL-2352 vs SYL-2362)-???
The performance and functions are different...

that i why asking went with the flow then(09) researching now. the 52 works great and when talking to tech at Auber they are what they suggested, just looking before buying. Can you help explain the differences and your choice thanks in advance.

After comparing I will purchase the 62 for new build and use the 52 for gas side of the system.
