BIAC User Manual Installation
the heating socket (marked with a red
flame) on the ETC, and plug the ETC into
a wall receptacle (the image shows the
older white ETC model; the new model
is black). The small cord opens or closes
a ‘contactor’ or relay inside the Tabletop
Controller, which allows a complete 240V
loop through to the heating element.
Since the contactor acts as a safety
‘gate,’ it is best to ensure the contactor
is not energized anytime you are not
brewing (unplug the contactor cord).
The ETC is very useful for controlling the
temperature during mashing, but not as
helpful to control your boil (see step 5
for that). If power will not be controlled
with an ETC (e.g. during the boil), plug the
‘contactor’ cord directly into one of the
receptacles on the Tabletop Controller
or into a wall receptacle. This will close the contactor and allow power through to the element.
During the boil, the power level can still be controlled manually; see point 5.
3. With the Programmable Touchscreen Controllers, use the sensor extension cable to connect
the sensor to the
sensor port on the
controller.
4. Connect the heating
element(s) to the box.
5. Reducing the
amount of power
to the element is
especially useful
during boil, when
you may want to limit
the boil during hot
break, or if you want
Warning: When not using the element, both the smaller contactor
cord and the heating element should be left unplugged. This will elimi-
nate any risk of unintentional heating.
