GLOSSARY
AD CARD: An assembly consisting of computer chips and an instruction label. Used for loading advertising
messages into the brewer.
AUTO PULSE BREW SETUP: The setting of a pulse brew routine by entering in the total desired water delivery
time. The brewer will then calculate and perform a pulse brew routine using a predetermined formula.
BREW LOCKOUT: The inability to initiate a brew if the water temperature is less than the ready temperature
programmed into the brewer.
BYPASS: The process of diverting a portion of the brew water to the outside of the paper filter so that it does not
pass through the coffee grounds. This process is sometimes used to optimize the flavor of the finished brew.
CHIP: A computer chip containing either recipes for specific coffee flavors or advertising messages that are read
by the sensing coil on the brewer. One chip is embedded in each Smart Funnel handle to carry the coffee flavor
name and batch size ground from the grinder to the brewer.
DRIP TIME: The length of time from when the water spray over the grounds ends to the time when no water or
product drips from the funnel tip.
ENERGY SAVINGS MODE: If enabled, the heaters will either shut down or reduce the tank holding temperature
to 140°F (60°C) after the set idle time.
FACTORY DEFAULTS: The factory preset brew settings that were installed into the brewer’s memory.
FIRST ON-TIME: During a pulse brew, this is the time set for the initial flow of water over the grounds.
FRESHNESS TIMER: If enabled, the brewer will display an alert if a new coffee batch has not been brewed before
the set time has expired.
FUNNEL LOCK: A solenoid controlled plunger locking mechanism which engages when a brew cycle has begun
preventing the removal of the funnel until end of Drip Time.
FUNNEL SENSING COIL: A sensor at the front of the brewer that reads what name and batch size of coffee was
ground into the funnel and allows for the brewer to automatically set itself to what is read from the funnel handle.
Also used to read in recipe and ad card information.
IDLE TIME (ENERGY SAVINGS MODE): If ENERGY SAVINGS Mode is enabled, the length of time the brewer is
inactive before the heaters turn off or hold at 140°F (60°C).
LAST ON-TIME: During a pulse brew, this is the time set for the second on-time and each alternative on-time for
the remainder of the brew.
MAIN SCREEN: The term used to describe the screen that is displayed when the brewer is not in use. This screen
is also displayed after exiting the programming mode.
MANUAL PULSE BREW SETUP: The setting of a pulse brew routine by manually entering in the 1
st
on time, off
time and last on time.
SET TEMP: The temperature at which the tank will heat to and hold.
OFF-TIME: During a pulse brew or preinfusion, this is the time set for the length of time that the water is not
spraying over the grounds.
PREINFUSION: The process of beginning a brewing cycle with an initial spray of water onto the grounds followed
by a pause in the spray. After the programmed pause, the spray continues without interruption until the end of
the brewing cycle.
PULSE BREW: The process that allows the brew water to start, and then stop, repeatedly over the grounds in
order to derive the best flavor from the coffee. Pulse brew is also used in some instances to prevent a funnel
overflow.
