Grainfather CONICAL FERMENTER PRO Instruction Manual

CONNECT THE NEW CONTROLLER
3. Take the new controller and join the three
electrical connectors to the corresponding
connectors on the fermenter. On both the
controller and the fermenter, there is one
larger connector with 3 pins and two smaller
connectors with 2 pins.
2. Carefully disconnect the three white-coloured,
electrical connectors on the rear side of the
controller mounting bracket. Once disconnected,
you can disregard the bracket as it’s no longer
required with the new controller.
GRAINFATHER CONICAL FERMENTER PRO CONTROLLER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING
PRODUCT CONTENTS
1. Controller
2. 4 x Screw hole plugs
3. Self-fusing tape
4. Fermenter socket cap
COMPATIBILITY
This product is only compatible with the Grainfather
Conical Fermenter. After installing the new controller,
you will still be able to use your fermenter with the
Grainfather Glycol Chiller and Cooling Pump Kit.
ASSEMBLY
Before assembling this product, you will need a
Phillips head screwdriver. For safety reasons, also
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.
So, you’re ready to go wireless and upgrade your Conical Fermenter! The following instructions show you
how to remove your existing controller and assemble your new Conical Fermenter Pro Controller.
Ensure the 2-pin connectors
are JOINed correctly – they
are colour-coded.
ENSURE CORRECT ORIENTATION OF THE
CONNECTORS AS PER THE DIAGRAM BELOW.
4. Check that all connections have been assembled
correctly and that the controller switches on.
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.

APPLY THE SELF-FUSING TAPE
5. The self-fusing tape protects the 3 sets of
connectors against condensation. It provides
superior protection than standard electrical tape.
To apply, please follow the steps below:
A. Before applying, ensure that your hands are
clean and that there is no dirt or oil on or near
the connectors.
B. Cut a strip of roughly 25 cm (10”) length of tape.
C. Peel 5 cm (2”) of liner from the strip of tape.
D. Presstheexposedtapermlyontooneofthe3
sets of wires a few centimetres away from the
connection. Make sure you completely overlap
therstwrapoveritselfwhileatthesametime
stretching the tape.
E. Continue to wrap the tape around the wires
andconnectors,peelingothelinerasyougo.
Ensure that the tape is always stretched as it is
wrapped and that each layer partially overlaps
the previous wrap. This tape works by self-
adhering when it is stretched.
F. Once you have wrapped over a few centimetres
of the wires on the other end of the connection,
nishbycompletelyoverlappingthelastwrap
andpressthetapermly.
G. Cutoanyremainingloosetape.Yournished
connection should look like the image below.
H. Repeat these steps for each of the remaining
2 connections.
SECURE THE NEW CONTROLLER
6. Align and position the controller onto the
fermenter body. Then secure in place using
the 4 screws removed in step 1.
HAND-TIGHTEN ONLY. OVERTIGHTENING THE
SCREWS MAY DAMAGE THE THREAD.
7. Insert the 4 screw hole plugs into position. The
smallerendofthepluggoesintothecontrollerrst
untiltheplugsurfaceisushwiththecontroller.
8. Attach the fermenter socket cap onto the back of
thefermenterbystretchingthexingbandloop
onto the socket as shown.

IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR CLEANING
• Always unplug your fermenter and screw on the
fermenter socket cap prior to cleaning.
• The Conical Fermenter Pro Controller is splash proof
to make cleaning the outside of your fermenter easy.
• Do not use a high-pressure hose directly on the
controller or the fermenter power socket.
• Avoid the controller and power socket (even with the
cap securely in place) coming into contact with water
for extended periods of time.
