Page 9: Hardware Configuration
User Manual 2 Hardware Configuration SmartPID BBQ PRO hardware configuration is quite simple and consists in connecting temperature probes included in the kit, PWM 4-wire fan and supply. 2.1 Probes Connection SmartPID BBQ PRO is equipped with 4 independent channels for the temperature of the grill (1 x PIT) and of food (3 x FOOD) control. -
Page 10: Food Master
User Manual 2.2 FOOD Master SmartPID PRO controller features 3 inputs for temperature probes, one of these inputs assumes the role of FOOD MASTER. All advanced control functions requiring a “food” temperature value, always relate to FOOD MASTER. From HW configuration menu it is possible to determine which of 3 food channels is MASTER to controller ignition. -
Page 11: Fan Connection
User Manual 2.3 Fan Connection SmartPID BBQ PRO supports 12V DC 4-wire fan with speedometer and PWM speed control. The kit is provided with a pre-configured PWM 4-wire fan. PWMFAN Fan connector has a direction of insertion, pay attention to tabs without stressing the connector. 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 “Process Parameter”... -
Page 12: Servo / Aux Configuration
User Manual 2.4 Servo / Aux Configuration SmartPID BBQ PRO controller also comes with an output for the control of a servomechanism (mechanical control of fans) and of an auxiliary output 12V DC (for instance to check an electro valve). SERVO In the configuration menu of process parameters, you can define the rotation angle of the servomechanism. -
Page 13: Operating Principle
User Manual 3 Operating Principle SmartPID BBQ PRO 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 14: Smartpid Bbq Pro Advanced Features
User Manual 4 SmartPID BBQ PRO Advanced Features SmartPID BBQ 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 and FOOD MASTER channels are characterised by a set of temperature thresholds to which specific alarms and notifications are linked. -
Page 15: Lid Open Function
User Manual 4.2 Lid Open Function “Lid open” function enables to automatically intercept lid open with subsequent sudden decrease of grill channel temperature, preventing unwanted fan speed boost. The algorithm is ruled by two parameters which indicate percentage variation of temperature and the term of observation window expressed as sample numbers of sampling window. -
Page 16: Rest Function
User Manual Stall function just provides an indication of audible and visual alarm, no action is performed on the fan. When temperature starts to rise again, it exits stall mode. Stall function is enabled in all three modes Monitor/Manual/Auto. Stall function is active before reaching set point on FOOD MASTER channel (FOOD Alarm HI). Stall function is regulated by hysteresis parameters i.e. -
Page 17: Differential Cooking Function (Control Mode Advanced)
User Manual 4.5 Differential cooking function (Control mode Advanced) “Differential cooking” function enables to track the cooking chamber temperature on the basis of food’s core temperature. Therefore, actual cooking programs can be created, with temperature profiles complex at will. To each FOOD MASTER temperature value, a target value of PIT temperature is associated. Once you’ve reached the value on FOOD MASTER channel, the set point on PIT channel is automatically changed. - Page 18 User Manual To handle the lock of vent-in you need to insert a servomechanism that moves a slider or an equivalent regularly closed electro valve. You can set in process parameters the lag between the stop of the fan and the servo/electro valve closure.

Page 21: Mode Of Operation
User Manual 6 Mode of operation SmartPID BBQ disposes of 4 operation modes 1. Monitor 2. Manual Control mode 3. Auto Control mode 4. Advanced Control mode 6.1 Monitor In monitor mode the SmartPID controller is limited to display 4 channels temperatures and can thus be used as a “thermometer”. -
Page 22: Manual Mode
User Manual SET long press changes count down timer duration (up/down) select the threshold value to be changed (PIT HI/LO, FOOD HI) S/S long press stop the process and back to main menu 6.2 Manual Mode In manual operating mode it is possible to check the fan speed by setting a fixed value from 0 to 100%. By repeatedly pressing SET button you get to the fan control screen and with UP/DOWN buttons you can modify the fan speed. - Page 23 User Manual Operativity through the 4 buttons is the following: UP/DOWN select FOOD channel to be displayed (FOOD MASTER channel is indicated with a black on white inversion of the text). As you select FOOD MASTER channel, the related food high threshold appears too ...

Page 24: Auto Mode
User Manual 6.3 Auto Mode In this mode the PID-PWM algorithm handles entirely the fan so that it can reach the predefined set point on channel PIT (PIT HI alarm) and to keep the temperature consistent. In such mode you can intervene at any time to change PIT and FOOD MASTER thresholds by pressing S/S button and using UP/DOWN buttons. -
Page 25: Advanced Mode
User Manual select the threshold value to be changed (PIT HI/LO, FOOD HI) S/S long press stop the process and back to main menu 6.4 Advanced Mode In advanced operating mode you need to select a differential cooking program (see paragraph 4.5). SmartPID BBQ then runs the program monitoring the FOOD MASTER channel temperature and consequently modifying the PIT channel set point. -
