Temperature Probe Setup
13.
Plug the temp probe(s) into the temperature probe jack on the UniFlex front panel. If
using one or two probes, plug them in directly. If using multiple probes, use the 6-port
splitter and plug it into the jack, then plug the temperature probes into the splitter.
14.
Carefully un-wind the temperature probe cables and route them toward their
installation locations. Ensure the cables are kept routed away from heat and other
power cables to reduce the possibility of electromagnetic interference (EMI).
15.
Insert the temperature probes ends into their respective vessel compression fittings.
Insert the probe as far as possible for the mounting location, ensuring the tip does not
contact any fitting or vessel wall. Gently tighten the fittings to ensure a good seal.
BruControl Installation
16.
Download and install the BruControl application via the license Authorization email
included with the UniFlex purchase. Follow the directions included there, including the
SQL database installation steps. Alternatively,
17.
Download the and unzip the UniFlex Configuration files
(“BruControlUniFlexConfigurations.zip”) into the same folder as the BruControl
application files in the above step.
18.
Make a folder on the installation computer: “C:\BruControlUniFlex\”
19.
Download and unzip (extract) the UniFlex Images file (“BruControlUniflex.zip”) into the
folder made in the step above. There should be nine image files there now, which can
be moved later if desired.
20.
Run BruControl (brucontrol.exe), then Activate the license via Settings (gear icon)…
License.
21.
Also, via Settings, select the configuration best associated with the UniFlex model and
number of vessels in the target brewery. For example, “UniFlex_3V_BinarySSR” is a
UniFlex with a binary SSR, to be used in a 3-vessel brewery.
22.
The background and images should be displayed. These configurations are pre-created
examples – these may be modified as desired, however making backup copies of the
original configuration files is recommended.
23.
For UniFlex software configurations which do not match the physical configurations, the
different Device Elements will need to be added or removed per standard methods used
in the BruControl application.
UniFlex Connection to BruControl
24.
Review the BruControl User Manual to understand how the application works.
25.
Identify the UniFlex’s IP address. If using a Static IP address, it is known. If using a server-
assigned IP address (via DHCP), scan the network for it. Do this by logging into the
router/server and review the DHCP assignment or Wi-Fi clients list. The UniFlex device
will be noted with a prefix of “esspressif”. Alternatively, use an app such as ‘Fing’ or
‘Discovery’ to identify the UniFlex IP address on the network.
