Info request about CSA Electronic

Hello,I have some problems with electronic devices made by CSA Electronic Germany used in wood drying kilns.I searched the net but...nothing. The drive is RGK-170 plus a device named in the technical manual Blue Box..it's a device for measuring probes. The question is if you ever heard about this CSA Electronic company, or these devices made by them. By the way, the kilns were made by Baschild Italy.Thanks

Crikey, my link fell apart. Reassemble in the obvious manner.

I had some experience some years ago with some wood kilns controlled by a proprietary computer. The kilns were in Central America. The service rep. was in the USA. Phone calls were over $1.00 per minute. The service rep had to refer every problem back to Germany.
The action of the controls was incomprehensible. You entered the wood species and some other parameters and hoped fopr the best. It was impossible to determine if the control was working properly, because there wasn't enough information to know how it was suposed to work.
It was taking from 33 to 40 days to dry a load of hardwood. The owner thought that this was excessive. Construction was started on four new kilns to meet production demands. I installed a pair of PID controllers and a combination temperature and relative humidity probe on one kiln. It worked so well that we put new controls on all four existing kilns.
Drying time dropped from 33-40 days to 12-14 days. We wanted to try for 8 days but the owner was coservative and pointed out that we now had more drying capacity than we needed anyway.
The four new kilns that were 95% complete were never finished and are now used for storage.
The cost of new instruments for one kiln was less than the cost of phone calls to technical support for the previous year.
If you are having a little trouble and can fix it carry on.
If you are having a lot of on going problems and general poor performance, consider changing instruments.

It seems the main problem is the precision of moistiure measuring and humidity measuring. The measuring points becoming instabile and go up and down. I FINNALY FIND THE WEBPAGE OF CSA ELETRONICS
