REV 0.9.5
Control Setup Page: you can change how your CyberQ behaves in certain
temperature conditions and you can also adjust the device’s algorithm. Since
every grill, smoker, and cooker are different, you can customize the settings
here to get optimum performance on yours. The CyberQ Cloud ships with
default settings that work great for most cookers.
1. Cook Hold: this is the temperature that your Cook(pit) target tem-
perature will change to when the timer expires, if the timeout action
is set to hold.
2. Timeout Action: this setting determines what happens when the
timer counts to 00:00:00. The options are no action (default), hold,
alarm, or shut down. No action means nothing will change. Hold
means that the Cook (pit) target temperature will change to the
Cook Hold setting. Alarm means that the device will sound an audi-
ble alert. Shut down means it will completely shut off the fan.
3. Alarm Dev: your CyberQ Cloud can warn you if your pit tempera-
ture gets too high or drops too low. This is important to notify you if
your pit temperature gets hotter than you want or drops too low (if
you ran out of charcoal, for example). This number (can be 10-100)
represents the amount of degrees from your target temperature that
will trigger the alarm. Read more about how this setting works in
the Alarm Deviation Setpoint section of the manual.
4. Cook Ramp: When the ramp is set to on, the low and slow ramp
mode is enabled. The ramp selection tells the control which sensor
to ramp from, so the selections are off, Food1, Food2, Food3. This
mode is used for slow cooks so your food (meat) never over-cooks.
This feature will gradually lower the pit temperature to the food X
set point temperature when the food is within approximately 30°
of being done. The controller will hold the pit temperature slightly
above your food target set point as long as there is fuel.
5. Open (Lid) Detect: This feature will allow recovery to the cooking
temperature without overshoot after you open the cooker’s lid.
When open lid detect is set to off and you open your pit’s lid, the
temperature will drop. The inrush of oxygen can cause the blower to
over-fire the coals and cause overshoot when the lid is shut again.
When open lid detect mode is on, it attempts to detect when the
pit’s lid has been opened and minimizes the blower running during
that time. Some overshoot will always be present when your pit’s lid
is opened and closed even if the blower is off, because it still intro-
duces oxygen to the fire. The factory default is ON, so you must turn
this OFF if you have problems with excess air currents in your pit.
6. Cyc Time: This is an advanced setting and we recommend leaving
at the default and only changing if BBQ Guru customer service rec-
ommend making a change.
