Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Auber WS series temperature controller. We sincerely
appreciate your choice and trust that our product will meet your quality and value
expectations. At this moment, you may be anxious to operate your own electric smoke
controller, but a few minutes of your time reading through this manual will only serve to
enhance your purchase experience. In particular, we urge you to read through the
safety warnings below. Although this plug-and-play controller is rather simple to
operate, the process involves high temperature and high wattage appliances, and your
safety is our number one priority.
SAFETY WARNINGS
•This controller is designed only to be used with devices that have limited power
and thermal cut off protection, such as thermostats or thermal fuses in case of
controller failure.
•Do not place anything on the top of controller surface, which is used to vent
excess heat during its operation.
•The maximum electric current this controller can handle is 15 Amperes. For 120
Volts AC in US and Canada, this limits the heater power to 1800 Watts.
•Always place the sensor in the controlled subject when the controller is on. Before
turning on the controller, please make sure the sensor is placed inside the
container. Leaving the sensor outside of the solution will form an open loop
operation. If the sensor is left outside, the controller will assume the temperature
is low even if the controlled subject is already very hot. The controller will provide
full power to the heater. It will not only overheat the controller, but also damage
your appliance, and possibly even cause a fire.

2/33
•This controller is designed to manage the devices recommended by Auber
Instruments only. Using it to control a not recommended device can be dangerous
and potentially cause fire. Auber Instruments is not liable for damages caused by
misuse of the controller. If you are not sure the controller can be used, please
contact Auber Instruments before use.
•If an abnormal display or noise is observed, turn the controller off, unplug the
power cord, and contact the manufacturer before using it again.
•Clean the controller only when it is cool and unplugged.
•Do not allow children to operate the controller.

Figure 1. Front Panel.
1) LCD display window – During normal display mode, the screen will display
temperature readings from all probes and set temperature of the smoke cabinet.
When either the high or low limit alarm is triggered, this display will show alarm
notification. In time checking mode, the screen will display time/step information. In
cooking profile or parameter setting modes, the display shows the step/parameter
name and its value. For details, please check section 3.
2) Alarm status/smoke generator indicator (Red)– This indicator has two
functions. When blinking, the temperature alarm is triggered. The LCD display will
simultaneously flash the alarm notification at same time. When this indicator is
solid ON, the smoke generator control output is activated.
3) Output status indicator (Green)- This LED indicates the output status that should
be synchronized with heater. When this indicator is ON, the heater is powered.
When it is OFF, the heater’s power is off. When it is flashing, it means the heater is
on and off intermittently to reduce the power output. It is synchronized with the
power light on the cooking device.
4) Wi-Fi status indicator, blue (For WIFI model only) – This indicates the Wi-Fi
connection status of the controller. Solid ON: the controller is connected to the

Figure 2. Back Panel.
Up to three temperature probes can be used with this controller, and they need to be
plugged in P1, P2 and P3 sockets on the right of the back panel. P1 socket is for the
cabinet temperature probe (Probe 1); P2 socket is for the food internal probe (Probe 2);
P3 socket is for the 3rd temperature probe (Probe 3).
2. Connecting this controller to your smoker
Install the sensor.
(Note: If you ordered wall mount sensor instead of free hanging sensor, please see the
separate instruction for wall mount sensor installation.)
The smoke controller is provided with 2 complimentary probes by default. The one with
the short tip is for measuring the cabinet temperature (Probe 1). It needs to be plugged
to the top sensor jack at the back of the controller. The long probe with a bend at the end

5/33
is for the meat internal temperature measurement (Probe 2). It needs to be plugged to
the bottom sensor jack at the back of the controller. The tips of the probes are dropped
into the damper hole. Place a piece of tape on the top of the smoker tower to hold them
in place. The tip of Probe 1 should be placed close to the food but high enough so that it
does not touch the food. (See Figure 3). The tip of Probe 2 should be inserted into the
meat.
Figure 3. Sensor position. Left, the sensor should be placed close to the food but high enough so that it
does not touch the food. Right, hold the sensor in place by a piece of tape.
The following wiring examples are based on Bradley smokers. For other brand smokers,
if your smoker comes with an analog heat level dial, you can directly hook up the power
cord of your smoker to the heater output outlet on the back of this controller. Then
change the heat level to the max. For details, please see figure 5 below. If your smoker
comes with a digital control panel which will be reset automatically if there is no power,
you need to make a modification in your smoker to bypass its internal digital control
panel, then hook up the internal heating element directly to the back of the controller. For
questions, please contact Auber customer support.
For the “Original” and stainless steel Bradley smoker, the temperature heat control
switch on the smoker tower should be set to the Hi position (most right).
There are several ways to connect the controller and Bradley Smoker.

4. Operation
All cooking profile settings and control parameters can both be accessed from the device
and AuberWIFI app (for WIFI model only).
4.1 Set the Cooking Profile
The controller’s cooking profile can be either set to multi-step mode (default) or
single-step mode. In the multi-step mode, up to 6 steps can be programmed. Each step
has its own set temperature for cabinet probe (Probe 1) and its step-ending criterion. A
cooking step can either end by timer or by food internal temperature (Probe 2). In the
single-step mode, the controller will try to maintain the cabinet temperature at the set
value of Step 1 (“Step 1 SmkrTemp”) as long as the controller is on. To switch between
single-step mode and multi-step mode, please check section 4.1.3.
4.1.1 Multi-Step Mode
A total of 6 steps can be programmed on this controller. Each program step comprises a
target temperature of cabinet (shown as “SmkrTemp: XXX”) and an ending criterion
setting “X-Ending”, where “X” is the step number. For example, “1-Ending” means the
ending criterion of Step 1. The “ending criterion” is a new concept to people who never
used Auber’s controllers. It determines how a cooking step is considered finished. Two
options are available: time and food internal temperature (Probe 2). If you want Step X to
end after a pre-set time period, set “X-Ending” by “Time”; if you want Step X to end
when food internal temperature reaches a pre-set value, set “X-Ending” to “Fd Temp”.
After you set “X-Ending” to “Time”, you will need to set “X-Time”. Here, “X-Time” is
defined as the time duration (in hh:mm format) of the current step. The timer will start
counting even if the cabinet temperature has not yet reached the target cabinet
temperature. So, please make sure that the step time is long enough. If the step time is
too short, the controller may continue to the next step no matter what the actually cabinet
temperature is. If you set “X-Ending” to “X-Fd Temp”, you will need to set “X-Fd Temp”
to the desired food temperature (Probe 2), but only one setting is relevant to the current

cooking step depending on the X-Ending setting (either X-Time or X-Fd Temp).

Figure 17. For each cooking step, set the target cabinet temperature, ending criterion, and timer or target

If “X-Ending” of a certain step is set to “Fd Temp” while the food probe (Probe 2) is not
plugged in, this step will never end. Cabinet probe (Probe 1) should always be plugged in,
otherwise the controller will stop sending power to the heater as protection. When all of
the “X-Ending” are set to time, the controller can operate with only the cabinet probe
(Probe 1) plugged in.
Note: Users can also use the AuberWIFI app to view and change both time and food
temperature of each step (for WIFI model only).

The example program for the controller is listed in Table 1. This program will control the
temperature of the cabinet at 120°F for 2 hours. Then, change the temperature to 190°F.
It will stay at 190°F until internal temperature of the meat reaches 160°F. The controller
will soon drop the temperature to 130°F and hold there for 20 hours, waiting you to pick
the food. If you change set temperature in step 3 (Step 3 SmkrTemp) to 0 and time for
step 3 to 0, the controller will shut off the heater and stop the program when the food
internal temperature reaches 160°F. There will be a beeping sound until the buzzer is
muted or the power input has been reset.

A flow chart of how to enter the cooking profile is shown in Figure 18. To start, program
the cooking profile. Press the SET key shortly to enter the Cooking Profile Programming
mode. The top line in the display shows the step number “Step: 1” and the current target
of cabinet temperature “SmkrTemp 250”. To enter or edit the profile:
1) Use ▲ or ▼ key to move the cursor “>” to the parameter you want to edit.
2) Press SET key, the value to be edited should start blinking.
3) Use ▲ or ▼ arrow key to edit the value.
4) Then press SET key again to save the change. That parameter will stop blinking.
5) Use ▲ or ▼ key to go another parameter, repeat the previous operations till you
have finished entering all the cooking steps.
Note: New settings will NOT be saved if the SET key is not pressed to confirm the
change. After programming the necessary steps for cooking, you can finish programming
by pressing the Time/Back key to exit the menu. Or, you can use ▲ or ▼ key to go to
“Back” and press SET key to exit. The display can also return to the normal display mode
if no key is pressed in about 15 seconds.

Figure 18. How to enter a cooking profile.
The example program in table 1 is used in this flow chart as a demo.
4.1.2 Single-Step Mode
In single-step mode, you can only access and change the target cabinet temperature of
Step 1 from the device. The controller will try to maintain the smoker temperature at the
set temperature (Smkr Temp) of Step 1 continuously as long as the controller is powered
on. If this controller is powered off and turned back on again, it will resume operating in
this mode. You can still view and change settings in other steps in Cooking Profile on the
AuberWIFI app (for WIFI model only), but they don’t apply to this mode.
To change the set temperature in single-step mode, press the SET key once; it will show
“Step: 1” and the current target cabinet temperature in the top line. A curser “>” will be
shown on the left indicating which line will be selected. Press the SET key once. The
current set temperature should start blinking. Use ▲ and ▼ keys to change the set
temperature. When finished, press the SET again to confirm the change. That number
will stop blinking. Press the Timer/Back key to exit the menu. Or use ▲ or ▼ key to
scroll to “Back” and then press SET key to exit. The display will return to the normal
display mode if no key is pressed in 15 seconds.

4.1.3 Program Status & Control (for firmware version 1.7.4 or newer)
Users can check or change current program running status by this parameter. It can be
used to stop/start the program, or jump to a different step. This parameter is under the
Cooking Profile menu as stated in section 4.1. Parameter name showing on the
controller’s display is Prog Status. Available options for this parameter are: Stop, Start,
Step 1 ~ 6, Back.
When pressing the SET button momentarily to enter Cooking Profile menu, it will display

16/33
Prog Status on the left top and the current step number or stopped status on the right
top. Press the SET button again, then user can change its options to start/stop the
program or jump steps. Press the SET button again to confirm the change. See option
definition and flow chart below.
Option definition:
Stop: Stop the current cooking program.
Start: Start the cooking program from Step 1.
Step 1 ~ 6: Jump to specific step. For example, if user selects Step 3, controller will skip
Step 1 & 2, and run rest steps starting at Step 3. If the controller program is stopped,
selecting those options will also exit stopped mode. Step 1 ~ 6 options are available for
multi-step mode only. For single-step mode, only Step 1 is available.
Back: Go back to upper level. Parameter is unchanged.

Note 1. Smkr Hi Alarm: This is the high temperature alarm for cabinet temperature
(Probe 1). When the cabinet probe reading is higher than Smkr Hi Alarm, the buzzer on
the controller will go off, and the LCD display will flash between the normal display and
the alarm display showing in Figure 22. The alarm has 1 degree hysteresis. The user
can mute the buzzer by pressing either the Up or Down key. Temperature must move
out of the hysteresis zone to activate the alarm again. For example, if Smkr Hi Alarm is
set to 290°F, the buzzer will go off when Probe 1 reads higher than 291°F, and the
buzzer will stop when Probe 1 reads lower than 289°F. To disable Smkr Hi Alarm alarm,
you can set it to a large number, such as 750°F.

Note 2. Smkr Lo Alarm: This is the low temperature alarm for cabinet temperature
probe (Probe 1). When the cabinet probe reading is lower than Smkr Lo Alarm, the
buzzer on the controller will go off, and the LCD display will flash between the normal
display and the alarm display showing in Figure 23. The alarm has 1 degree
hysteresis. The user can mute the buzzer by pressing either the Up or Down key.
Temperature must move out of the hysteresis zone to activate the alarm again. For

19/33
example, if Smkr Lo Alarm is set to 180°F. The buzzer will go off when the cabinet
temperature drops to 179°F; it will stop when temperature rise above 181°F. The
Smkr Lo Alarm is suppressed when the controller is just powered up. It will be
activated when the cabinet temperature has reached the target cabinet temperature.
To disable the Smkr Lo Alarm, you can set it to a small number, such as 0°F
(default).

Note 3. Food Hi Alarm: This is the high temperature alarm for the food internal probe
(Probe 2). When the food probe reading is higher than Food Hi Alarm, the buzzer on
the controller will go off, and the LCD display will flash between the normal display and
the alarm display showing in Figure 24. The alarm has 1 degree hysteresis. The user
can mute the buzzer by pressing either the Up or Down key. For example, if Food Hi
Alarm is set to 130°F, the buzzer will go off when Probe 2 reads 131°F, and the buzzer
will stop when Probe 2 reads 129°F or lower. To disable Food Hi Alarm, you can set it
to a large number, such as 650°F.
When smoking multiple pieces of meat of different sizes, put the probe in the thinnest
piece first. Set the Food Hi Alarm to the temperature when meat is ready. It will let you
know when it is done. Then, you can move the probe to the second thinnest pieces and
so on. To use this feature, you can set the ending criterion to time. If you prefer to set
the ending criterion to food temperature, then the Food Temp should be set to higher
than Food Hi Alarm.

probe 3 reading is higher than Probe3 Hi Alarm, the buzzer on the controller will go off,
and the LCD display will flash between the normal display and the alarm display
showing in Figure 25. The alarm has 1 degree hysteresis. The user can mute the buzzer
by pressing either the Up or Down key. For example, if Probe3 Hi Alarm is set to 130°F,
the buzzer will go off when Probe 3 reads 131°F, and the buzzer will stop when Probe 3

Note 5. Relay Action (for Multi-Step Mode Only*): This is the smoke generator output
setting. This parameter determines which steps to initiate on the smoke generator output.
Its configuration range is from 0 to 63, determined by the following formula:
Relay Action = A * 1 + B * 2 + C * 4 + D * 8 + E * 16 + F * 32;
If A = 0, smoke generator output is OFF at Step 1.
If A = 1, smoke generator output is ON at Step 1.
If B = 0, smoke generator output is OFF at Step 2
If B = 1, smoke generator output is ON at Step 2.
If C = 0, smoke generator output is OFF at Step 3.
If C = 1, smoke generator output is ON at Step 3.
If D = 0, smoke generator output is OFF at Step 4.
If D = 1, smoke generator output is ON at Step 4.
If E = 0, smoke generator output is OFF at Step 5.
If E = 1, smoke generator output is ON at Step 5.
If F = 0, smoke generator output is OFF at Step 6.
If F = 1, smoke generator output is ON at Step 6.
Example:
To turn on the smoke generator output on step 2 and step 3 only, this parameter needs to
be set to 6. (0 * 1 + 1 * 2 + 1 * 4 + 0 * 8 + 0 * 16 + 0 * 32 = 6.)
To turn on smoke generator output on step 1 only, set this parameter to 1.
*: This parameter is only available for multi-step mode (Program Mode = ON). For single
step mode (Program Mode = OFF), smoke generator output is disabled. Relay Action
parameter can still be adjusted but not in use. To use the smoke generator in single step
mode, users need an extra power cord to power and control the smoke generator
separately from this controller.
Note 6. P: Proportional Constant. The unit is 1 degree. This parameter controls the
output of the controller based on the difference between the measured and set
temperature. The larger the P value, the weaker the action (lower gain). If P = 7, the
proportional band is 7 degrees. When the sensor temperature is 7 degrees below the
proportional band (10 degrees below the setting), the controller will have 100% output.
