For the 2BBL Brewhouse Control Panels, there are two options for utilizing the heaters’ On/Off control; Auto Mode (automatically targets
temperature setpoints), and Manual Mode (overrides the temperature setpoint and operates the heating elements based on a Percentage of
Output Control from 0-100%)
To toggle between Auto Mode and Manual Mode, simply press the F1 key.
When in Manual Mode, the letters [MAN] will display on the controller.
To change the Manual Heating Output Percentage, press the ‘D’ key until [OP1] shows on the controller display, then use the Up/Down arrows to
change the value to anything between 0-100%.
A setting of 50% will pulse the heater On & Off 50/50 (about a half second on, and a half second off).
When in Manual Mode, the controller WILL NOT shut the heating elements off at or above your temperature set point values! This is
intended to control the level of boiling.
2BBL SYSTEMS AUTO/MANUAL HEATING MODES
For the 2BBL systems only, which utilize Solid State Relay control of the heating elements (NOT Contactors). Before you start the Auto Tuning
process, you will want your vessel/s to be filled to the volume you’d most frequently be utilizing throughout your brewing processes.
Hold down the ‘P’ button until the display alternates between [TUNE] and [NO].
Press the ‘UP’ arrow once to show [YES] and press the ‘P’ key to confirm/start the Auto Tuning process.
The display will now show the letters [AT] to indicate Auto Tune is underway.
The Auto Tune feature is explained on page 36 of the full Red Lion user manual, near the bottom of that page.
PID AUTO TUNE. FOR 2BBL SYSTEMS ONLY!
These Red Lion controllers can be switched between English or Metric units depending on personal preference. This is parameter ‘SCAL’ within the 1-1N
program loop. The factory default for this parameter is *F.
To change the parameter ‘SCAL’, hold down the ‘P’ key until the display shows either [CNFP/NO] or [TUNE/NO], if [CNFP/NO] displays first then skip to the next
step
If [TUNE/NO] shows up first, we need to navigate to [CNFP] by pressing the ‘P’ key several times.
Once the display alternates between [CNFP] and [NO], press the ‘UP’ arrow once to show [1-1N]
Press ‘P’ to enter the ‘1-1N’ program loop
‘SCAL’ is the second parameter within the ‘1-1N’ loop. Press ‘P’ once to skip [tYPE] until [SCAL] displays.
Once [SCAL] is displayed, use the Up/Down arrows to toggle between *F or *C
After your desired unit of measure is selected, press ‘P’ to save and the controller will progress to the next parameter.
Press the ‘D’ key to exit the programming loops, the controller will briefly display [END] to show it is exiting controller configuration mode.
