Page 7: Hardware Description
User Manual 1.3 Hardware Descripton SmartPID BBQ Easy is made up of a single object with the controller directly installed on the fan’s body with the possibility of rotation to optimise the visual angle. On the front panel there is the TFT backlit monochrome display (adjustable contrast) with 84x84 resolution and buttons for user interface interactions. - Page 8 User Manual The 3 front push buttons are used for several tasks: a) UP/DOWN a. Scroll configuration menu b. Increase/decrease temperature value c. Increase/decrease fan speed d. Scroll values on configuration menu a) SET e. Select/confirm a specific menu Select/confirm a specific value g.

Page 9: Hardware Configurations
2.1 Probe Connecton SmartPID BBQ Easy is equipped with a channel for the control of grill’s temperature (1 x PIT). Type NTC probes use 2.5mm connectors. From the HW configuration menu, you can select “beta” value for each channel. -
Page 10: Fan Configuration
User Manual 2.2 Fan Confiuraton SmartPID BBQ Easy control unit is hyperconnected to PWM fan with speed control and tachometer. It is possible to establish the operating range of the fan by limiting the maximum and minimum fan speed, acting on Min/Max Fan Speed parameters in “CONFIG”, the configuration menu. By doing so the fan can be adapted to your own system, setting out a “virtual”... -
Page 11: Servo Configuration
User Manual 2.3 Servo Confiuraton SmartPID BBQ Easy controller also comes with an output for the control of a servomechanism (mechanical control of fans). In the configuration menu of process parameters, you can determine the rotation angle of the servomechanism. -
Page 12: Operating Principle
User Manual Operatni Principle SmartPID BBQ Easy controller operating principle is based upon the control of airflow over coal to increase or decrease the temperature inside the cooking chamber. The greater air/oxygen supply, the higher the temperature. Automatic check is done by constantly tracking the temperature on PIT channel and by continuously modulating fan speed, thus air flow, from 0% to 100% by means of the PID –... -
Page 13: Smartpid Bbq Easy Advanced Features
User Manual SmartPID BBQ Easy advanced features SmartPID BBQ Easy controller is equipped with an array of advanced features in support of cooking process, hereafter is the description and guide to related parameters configuration. 4.1 Alarm Thresholds PIT channel is characterised by two temperature thresholds to which specific alarms and notifications are linked. - Page 14 User Manual In case of % temperature variation over the observation period, the fan is brought to MIN FAN speed value for a configurable period of time (Lid Open Timer). Once finished the LID open timer (or once reached the set point) the fan is reactivated and monitored again by the PID-PWM algorithm.

Page 17: Mode Of Operation
3. Auto Control mode 6.1 Monitor In monitor mode, namely to the ignition of the controller, SmartPID BBQ Easy just displays grill temperatures, detected by the PIT probe, hence it can be used as a “thermometer”. Threshold values on PIT channel channel trigger alarms and notifications on the remote app. No check is carried out on the fan. -
Page 18: Auto Mode
User Manual Please note how the % of fan rotation is always relating to the range determined by MIN fan speed – MAX fan speed in configuration parameters (process parameter). Therefore, is displayed the number of rotations per minute (RPM) in absolute value and a bar histogram. - Page 19 User Manual fan pause / resume SET long press stop the process and back to main menu...
