Hertz interferences and “B” for 60 Hertz interferences. If you encounter fast fluctuating
temperature reading issue, you can change this setting to “A” or “B” manually based on
your local power line frequency.
Note 24. Password (for WIFI model only):
Device access password. This parameter is
used to lock the access to parameter settings on AuberWIFI app. Default password is
777.
Note 25. Factory Reset:
Factory reset. This function will restore all the parameters
(including all the stored recipe settings in the memory) back to the factory default values.
This setting will not reset the WiFi configuration. To reset the WiFi setting on the
controller, please press and hold SET key and TIME key for 5s, until the blue WiFi
indicator starts to blink.
8. Important consideration for better control results.
The following is a list of things that could affect the result of temperature control.
a) The smoker and controller location. The smoker should not be placed directly in the
sun. Direct sun light can heat the smoker to above 140 °F in the summer time, making
controlling the temperature at 140 °F impossible. This is especially the problem for the
black color smoker. The controller should also be placed away from direct sun light.
Users should also avoid exposing the controller to water and rain, which could damage
the controller.
b) Low temperature control. The control result for temperatures below 125 °F will not be
as accurate compared to higher temperatures when the smoker generator is on. This is
because there are two heaters in the smoker tower. One is the smoker heater controlled
by the PID controller. The other is the heater from the generator that is not controlled.
Our test shows that the heater in the generator itself can raise the temperature of the
smoker tower by 60 °F (2 hours, in the shade with damper open). That means when the
ambient temperature is at 70 °F, the smoker can be heat up to 130 °F in 2 hours with
help of the generator (without using the heater in the smoker).
c) Damper position. Keeping the damper open will result in better temperature stability
because more heat loss is created. This is important when the temperature is set below
140 °F. When the damper is closed, the temperature will take longer time to drop if it is
overshot during initial heat up. At higher temperature, closing the damper will not affect
the performance much because the heat loss from the wall of the tower is increased.
Close the damper at high temperature will keep the moisture of the food.
d) Temperature uniformity of the smoker tower. Our tests shows that when the all the
