3. Programming the smoking temperature profile.
A total of 6 steps can be programmed with this controller. Each step contains the set
temperature (C0X) and an ending criteria setting (E0X), where “X” is the step number
(e.g. Step 4 temperature is represented by C04 and step 4 ending criterion is
represented by E04). The ending criterion determines how the controller finishes the
current step and starts the next step. There are two options for the user, t and F. Set E0X
to t if you want step X to be end by a preset time. Set E0X to “F” if you want step X to end
by a preset temperature of the internal probe.
If you set E0X to “t”, you will be asked to set t0X for the time. Time is defined as the
duration between the last step and the next step. Please make sure the time is long
enough for the heater to heat up the smoker. If the time is set too short, the temperature
may not be able to reach the current step temperature setting, before it jumps to the next
step. The time unit is in hours with 0.1 hour (6 minute) resolution.
If you set E0X to F, you will be asked to set F0X for the temperature of the internal probe.
If all of the E0X are set to t, the controller can operate with only the probe 1 plugged in.
To program the temperature profile, press SET key once. The display will show C01 at
the left window and temperature setting on the right window for step 1. Use “+” and “-”
keys to change the setting. When finished, press the SET again to confirm the change.
The display will show E01 on the left window and the ending criterion setting on the right
window. Use “+” and “-” keys to change the settings. When finished, press the SET again
to confirm the change. The left window will display t01 or F01 depending whether t or F is
selected for the E01. The right window will display the setting for t01 or F01. Use “+” and
“-” keys to change the setting. When finished, press the SET again to confirm the change.
