1. Features
This PID controller is for controlling the temperature of charcoal smoker. It will regulate
the on/off time interval of a 12VDC blower to stabilize the temperature in the charcoal
smoker. It has built-in solid state relay that can drive a 12V DC operated blower up to
60 CFM. It has a built-in buzzer that can be set for both low limit and high limit alarm.
The system includes a controller, an AC to 12V DC adaptor, a K type thermocouple.
Also included is power plug that fits the control output jack. User needs to install the
plug to a 12V DC operated blower with adequate wind speed (5 CFM Fan is the most
common for a small smoker).

INPUT-Temperature probe input
Figure 2 shows the terminals of the controller. Connect the AC to 12V DC power
adapter to the terminal 1 and wall outlet. Connect the fan connector to terminal 2. The
polarity for this socket is center pin positive (+), outer collar negative (
−
). Connect the
K thermocouple to terminal 3. Please note that thermocouple connector also has
polarity. The wide blade should go to the wide slot.

Note 1. Set Temperature.
There are two ways to set the target temperature.
a. During the normal operation mode, press
Λ
or V once to switch the display from
process value (PV) to set value (SV, or target temperature). The display will start to
blink. Press
Λ
or V again to increase or decrease the SV. When finished, wait 8
seconds and the settings will take effect automatically (the display will stop blinking).
b. Press SET key once. Use >,
Λ
and V keys to enter code 0001. Press SET key to
confirm, then the display would be SV (
Su
). Press SET key again to display the SV
setting. Use >,
Λ
and V keys to enter the new SV value and press SET to confirm.
Press V key to change the display to END. Then, press SET to exit. You can also
ignore the steps after confirmation of SV. The controller will return to normal operation
mode automatically if no key is pressed for 1 minute. The flow chart below shows how
to set the SV and alarms in details.
