Intelligent Temperature Control - Overview
Control I/O, ON/OFF Touch Pad
This pressure sensitive touch pad is used to turn the grill/appliance on and off.
•
Turning the grill “on” activates the automatic start-up mode and illuminates the digital LED
readout.
•
Pressing the touch pad again activates the shut down mode of the appliance.
•
The ON/OFF touch pad allows electricity to flow to the electrical components for 20
minutes. If, after 20 minutes, the appliance reaches a temp of 150F, the igniter and start
up feed rate will end and the appliance will continue to operate / burn pellets.
•
If 150F is not achieved after 20 minutes, the appliance will turn off and ER-2 will display
on the screen.
•
When the ON/OFF touch pad is used to turn off the appliance, the board will stop the
auger from turning. The convection fans will continue to run until the temperature reaches
130F.
•
When the appliance reaches a cool down temperature of 130F the electricity will be shut
off to the working components. If the temp has not reached 130F after 20 minutes, the
electricity will be shut off to the controller.
Pellet Prime Touch Pad
•
When the Pellet Prime touch pad is pressed and held, the fuel feed system will turn and
feed more wood pellets to the burn pot.
•
This can be used to add more fuel just before opening the grill lid, to help with quicker
heat recovery.
•
It can also be used to add more fuel while smoking, to increase the smoke intensity.
Temp (Temperature) up and down touch pad
•
Pressing either the up or down arrows, the LED readout can be moved in 5 degree
increments.
•
The temperature setting range is 225-275F for smoking and 280-550F for cooking.
