ASSEMBLY
Before assembling this product, you will need a

ensure that your Conical Fermenter is unplugged
prior to assembly.
REMOVE THE CURRENT CONTROLLER
1. Remove the current controller and the four
screws securing the controller mounting bracket
on the Conical Fermenter. Put them aside for now.

controller mounting bracket. Once disconnected,
you can disregard the bracket as it's no longer
required with the new controller.

At this stage, you can either connect the Conical
Fermenter Pro to the Glycol Chiller via the M12
fermenter power cord and ensure that the chiller
is turned on. Alternatively, if you aren't using
a Glycol Chiller, you can connect the fermenter
directly to a power socket. The controller screen
should now turn on. If the controller does not turn
on or an error message is displayed, please check
that all connections have been assembled correctly.
DO NOT PROCEED TO STEP 5 AND APPLY THE
SELF-FUSING TAPE UNTIL THE CONTROLLER AND
FERMENTER HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY CONNECTED.
