Understanding The Control Board - Pit Boss PRO PB16DDPS2 Assembly And Operation Manual

UNDERSTANDING THE CONTROL BOARD

This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) digital Control Board is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The
main advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types.
IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments
calibrated together may not agree with each other.
CONTROL DESCRIPTION
The button will light up solid white when connected to a power source and when the unit is on. Press
this button once to Power On the unit. This will begin the automatic start-up cycle. Press and hold this
button for three seconds to Power-down the unit, activating the automatic cool-down cycle. * *
**This readout is displayed after Power-down has been selected. It indicates that the automatic cool-
down cycle has started. Once the cool-down cycle is completed, the readout will no longer be visible.
Press this button to on the light, press again to turn off the light.
The Smoke iT® icon indicates a connectivity with Wi-Fi. When searching for a connection by Wi-Fi or
via Bluetooth®, the Smoke iT® icon will blink. Once a Wi-Fi connection has been established, the Smoke
iT® icon will stay solid. When connected, get live updates about the actual and set temperatures of
the grill, cooking time, and meat probe temperatures. It also allows you to adjust the settings of your
Control Board.
Press the button once to activate the Recipe Steps. There are nine Recipe Steps available to set. Adjust
the settings of each Recipe Step by using the Controller Knob. Press the button again to return to menu
operation mode.
This button has two functions: Meat Probe Control (MPC) and Prime Button.
1. The quick push of this button activates the Programmable Meat Probe - which is the first Meat Probe
plug-in port (MPC). Use the Controller Knob to set the Programmable Meat Probe temperature.
Press the Controller Knob again to confirm and exit the Programmable Meat Probe settings.
2. Press and hold this button for three seconds to activate a manual continuous feeding of pellets to
the fire pot. Releasing the button will stop the manual feeding of pellets. This can be used to add
more fuel to the fire before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery. It can also be
used while smoking, to increase the intensity of clean smoke flavor. This feature was requested
from competition cookers.
