Note 10: Alarm duration for boil mode: Ad
Ad
is the parameter that set how long the timer will hold for adding the ingredient.
If you set it for 10, it will hold the timer for 10 seconds at the event which allows
you to add ingredient. During this holding period, the buzzer will keep beeping,
and timer will stop counting. You can also set Ad to 0, which will pause the timer
at that event. You need to press the Key A to manually resume the timer.
6.4 External Relay Settings (RELY)
6.4.1 Introductory
This controller contains two normally open (N.O.) relays that can be used for
controlling external devices such as buzzers, contactors, and valves. The relays
are dry switches that can handle up to 3 Amps of resistive load or up to 1 Amp
of inductive load. These relays can be programmed as process (absolute) alarms
or
act in synchronization with controller’s mashing steps, boiling timer events
as
well as the built-in buzzer condition. There are a few advanced features of these
relays. The relays can be set either to close the contacts, or to open the contacts
when alarm condition meets.

Note 12: RL (Relay Mode),
determines which mode a relay should be working
at.
RL1
is for Relay 1 and
RL2
is for Relay 2. Each relay has five modes:
Off:
This relay function is disabled.
ALAM:
In this mode, relay is set as Process Alarm. It can either be triggered by
a process high alarm, by a process low alarm, or by both. Parameter AH, AL and
HY are used to set the on/off temperature for this relay output. Check note 14.5
for details.
M-SN.
In this mode, relay is synchronized with mashing steps. This relay can be
programmed to be activated at target mashing step or steps. For example, user
can program it to turn on during step 1, 4 and 6. Parameter rLP is used for
programming (see below).
B-SN:
In this mode, relay is synchronized with boiling steps. Similar to M-SN,
this relay can be programmed to be activated at target boiling step or steps.
Parameter rLP is used for programming (see below).
Beep
. In this mode, relay is synchronized with internal buzzer. When the built-
in buzzer beeps, this relay also turns on. This will allow the user to drive an
external flashing buzzer for louder and visual notification.
ALbE.
“Alarm and beep” mode.
Take relay 1 as an example (relay 2 works the
same). When the RL1 is set for ALbE, the internal buzzer not only beeps for
each step/timer event (as
Beep
mode), but also when temperature alarm 1
condition is met (AH1, AL1, HY1, AP1). Relay 1 output will be activated at
same time. This parameter enables the usage of internal buzzer for
temperature alarm. It is a useful feature for small control panel that has no
place for an external buzzer.
Note for ALbE and Beep modes:
ALbE
mode is different than
Beep
mode.
When RL1 is set to
Beep
, the relay output acts synchronously with the built-in
buzzer. The built-in buzzer and relay output only work as event notification, and
they cannot be set as temperature alarm. When RL1 is set to
ALbE
, the built-in
buzzer will work for both temperature alarm and event notification. The relay
output will work as temperature alarm only.
Note 12: Lgc (Relay Logic
), determines relay status before and after the alarm
conditions are met. It can be set to Logic Close (
RL-C
) or Logic Open (
RL-O
).
When a relay is set to
RL-C
, the relay is a NO relay, it stays open when it is
inactive; the relay contacts close (pull-in) when alarm conditions are met. When
a relay is set to
RL-O
, the relay is essentially a NC relay, it stays closed when it
is inactive; the relay contacts open up (drop-out) when alarm conditions are met.
For most applications, the relay should be set to Logic Close (
RL-C
), which is
the default setting. The Logic Open (
RL-O
) configuration is useful if user want to
turn on a device when the temperature is not in the alarm zone.
Note 13: rLP (Relay turning-on steps)
Those two parameters determine which steps to turn on the R1 and R2 relays
respectively. The value is determined by the following formula.
Or you can use
the relay setting calculator
rLP (mashing mode) = A * 1 + B * 2 + C * 4 + D * 8 + E * 16 + F * 32 + G *
64 + H * 128;
or rLP (boiling mode) = A * 1 + B * 2 + C * 4 + D * 8 + E * 16 + F * 32 + G * 64
+ H * 128 + I * 256;
Where,
If A = 0, then relay is open at step/event 1.
If A = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 1.
If B = 0, then relay is open at step/event 2
If B = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 2.
If C = 0, then relay is open at step/event 3.
If C = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 3.
If D = 0, then relay is open at step/event 4.
If D = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 4.
If E = 0, then relay is open at step/event 5.
If E = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 5.
If F = 0, then relay is open at step/event 6.
If F = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 6.
If G = 0, then relay is open at step/event 7.
If G = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 7.
If H = 0, then relay is open at step/event 8.
If H = 1, then relay is closed at step/event 8.
If I = 0, then relay is open at event 9.
If I = 1, then relay is closed at event 9.
The minimum rLP value is 0. The maximum rLP value is 255 for step mashing
mode (up to 8 steps can be programmed, if relay is ON for all 8 steps), and 511
for boiling mode (up to 9 timer events can be programmed, if relay is ON for all
9 events).
