7. Program the smoker generator on step.
The smoker generator is controlled by the parameter R1 and R2. These two parameters
determine which steps to turn on the smoker generator. The smoker generator will stay
on only for the step it is programmed. It will turns off when program goes to the next step.
e.g. When R1=2, and R2=4, the smoker generator will be on during step 2 and 4. R1=0
or R2=0 means that R1 or R2 will not do anything to the smoker. The smoker will not be
turned on if both R1 and R2 are set to 0. R1 and R2 can be accessed through code 166
menu. For details, please read section 7 of the main manual.
8. Program the alarms.
The alarm setting can be accessed by code 188.
Table 2 shows the list of the parameters, their range and initial set value when left the

Detail of each parameter.
a) AH1, this is the high limit alarm for probe 1. User can set the temperature so that if the
system is out of control, the buzzer will be turned on. e.g. If AH1 set to 290, the buzzer
will be on at 291 and off at 290. When the buzzer is on, the left widow will flashing
between AH1 and the current temperature.
b) AL1 is the low limit alarm for probe 1. e.g. If AL1 is set to 100. The buzzer will be on
when temperature drop to 100. It will be turned of when temperature rise to 101. This
alarm is suppressed when first powered up. It will only function after the temperature has
reached set point once. When the buzzer is on, the left widow will flashing between AL1
and the current temperature.
c) AH2 is the high limit alarm for the probe 2. If AH2 set to 190, the buzzer will be on at
191 and off at 190. When the buzzer is on, the right widow will flashing between AH2 and
the current temperature. When smoking multiple piece of meat with different thickness,
you can put the probe in the thinnest piece first. Set the alarm to the temperature when
meat is ready. It will let you know when it is done. Then, you can move the probe to the
second thinnest pieces and so on. To use this feature, you can set the ending criteria to
time. If you set ending criteria to temperature, you need to set the ending temperature to
