User Guide (7. Programming using PRGM-CS)
This time, we will give you an explanation of how to use the PRGM-CS to create your own program, an auxiliary program, one of three basic programs. Auxiliary programs, FS and CS can be used to create your own program in order to specify your roasting preferences for green coffee beans. PRGM-CS is not a roasting program but a program for user programming, therefore keep monitoring while it is being used. Neglecting may lead to burn off the bean or cause a fire. The program CS provides users with the opportunity to create and save their own programs. Users can create new program by setting the desired point and pressing the 'EJECT' button, while monitoring the roasting process and listening to the cracking sound. This program is a new and innovative solution to create the optimum program for the type and status of the green coffee beans. First, to use CS, prepare the green beans of 300~800cc in the measuring cup. After plugging into wall outlet, turn on the power switch; 'PRGM-01' will be automatically displayed in the TEXT window on the control panel. And then press the DOWN button to select 'PRGM-CS'. Press the START button; the 'chaff tray' indicator light on the control panel starts flickering, 'CLEAN' being displayed in the TEXT window. It means the chaff tray needs to be cleaned. The machine is programmed to display the message at the first operation after the power connection or every third operation. If you clean the chaff tray and install it again, 'CLEAN' in the TEXT window will be disappeared and changed to 'CS-PRHT'. And the DISPLAY window shows that fan and heater are being operated, indicating preheat is active. Preheating process runs until the temperature in the Temperature display reaches 165°C. The preheating time is displayed in blue in TIME display and it takes from 10 to 15 minutes depending on the room temperature, at the beginning of the cycle. During the preheating cycle, the drum repeats revolving only 10 seconds every 1 minute. When the temperature on the Temperature display reaches 165°C, the drum revolves repeatedly and 'ADD BEAN' is displayed in the TEXT window with the alarm sound. Please open the bean entrance hole cover and install the hopper at the bean entrance hole, and input green coffee bean in the measuring cup into the hopper. After input, return the hopper to its cradle and close the bean entrance hole cover again. If you dump green coffee beans into the roasting chamber, the temperature in the Temperature display falls continuously. CEROFFEE CRF-800 controls the heater by measuring the surface temperature of the coffee beans, so you can check the surface temperature of the coffee beans in real time during the roasting process. When the temperature falls, reaching 120°C or below, CEROFFEE CRF-800 recognizes the green coffee beans are dumped into the roasting chamber, entering first heating step. Now, 'ADD BEAN' is disappeared, 'CS-RP01' indicating first heating step, being displayed. In addition, the roasting time will be measured and displayed from CS-RP01 stage, in which roasting process starts. 'CS' means the number of program, RP01 indicating first heating step. When the temperature reaches 150°C or more, the roasting cycle goes through CS-RP02, the second heating step. At this point, the very first popping sounds of the first crack can be heard. The temperature at which beans emit the 'first crack' changes depending on the type and status of the green coffee beans, but the 'first crack' often occurs at CS-RP02. Beans emit a 'first cracking' sound much like popcorn does when it pops. If you press the ENTER button; '1 CRACK' is displayed. After a moment, CS-HD02 is displayed, getting into temperature-maintenance stage automatically. If the process goes on to the CS-HD02 automatically, without emitting first cracking sound in the CS-RP02 stage, you don't need to press ENTER button. The ENTER button for a 'first crack' is active in CS-RP02, not being active in the maintenance stage. CS-HD02 lasts for 1 minute and it goes on to CS-RP03 stage, the last heating step. Going through CS-RP02 stage, the second maintenance stage, now we've reached CS-RP03 stage. If the first crack occurs in the CS-RP02 stage, the second crack occurs in CS-RP03 stage. In distinction to the sound of the first crack, the second crack sounds like rice bubbles in milk. If you press the ENTER button; '2CRACK' is displayed and after a while CS-HD03 is displayed, entering the maintenance stage automatically. In the same way as the first crack, if it runs right into CS-HD03, without emitting the second cracking sound in the CS-RP03 stage, you don't need to press ENTER button. The ENTER button for 'second crack' is active only in CS-RP03, not being active in the maintenance stage, too. Now, you can let roasted coffee beans dump from the roasting chamber at the desired point by pressing 'EJECT' button while monitoring through viewport. If you press 'EJECT' button, 'EJECT' is displayed in the TEXT window with the alarm sound. Please open the door of the cooling chamber and shake the mesh container back and forth, so that dumped coffee beans will be evenly distributed in a uniform manner for a proper cooling. Actually, you are free to let roasted coffee beans dump from the roasting chamber. Because the roasting program up to the point when coffee beans are dumped is saved, you can save the program to that time by monitoring the process through viewport and press the “EJECT” button at desired point, even if second crack doesn't occur. When the discharging of the roasted coffee beans is complete, the roasting process goes on to the cooling process automatically, with 'COOLING' being displayed in the TEXT window. The cooling process goes on for 5 minutes. When the cooling process is closed, it goes on to the SAVE stage. If you press the CLEAR button, the cooling process is interrupted and right goes on to the SAVE stage. As the cooling process has been forced to be interrupted, the still hot roasted coffee beans need to be cooled by using fan or other equipment after pulling the mesh container of the cooling chamber. When the cooling process is complete; Program CS is displayed and SAVE indicator light starts flickering, asking you whether to save the current program. Press the CLEAR button not to save it or press the ENTER button to save it. Press the ENTER button, and the 'roasting strength adjusting indicator' will flicker. It allows you to adjust the roasting strength by monitoring the roasting status before completing new program by using PRGM-CS. If you want to increase the roasting strength after checking the current roasting status, press UP button to move it in the direction of DARKER, while if you want to decrease the roasting strength, press the DOWN button to move it in the direction of LIGHTER. One space (level) means 5 seconds, one space (level) in the direction of DARKER indicates that the roasted coffee beans are dumped from the roasting chamber 5 seconds after the existing defined time, while one space (level) in the direction of LIGHTER indicates that the roasted coffee beans are discharged from the roasting chamber 5 seconds before the current defined time. Now, you may change the roasting strength to the desired value or press ENTER button in home position. For example, you can set the roasted coffee beans to be dumped from the roasting chamber, 10 seconds before the existing defined time by moving it in the direction of LIGHTER. Press the ENTER button; the indicator light starts flickering to ask which number to select as the program number. Press the program number you want to select from no. 2 to no. 20 by using UP & DOWN key and then press ENTER button to complete saving of the program. Make sure not to select and save in the program number for which the program has been already created, to prevent the existing program from being overwritten. For example, if you have saved your own program in the program No. 2, select the other number and press the ENTER button. let's try selecting No. 3 and then your own roasting program using the program CS will be saved in the program No. 3. Now you have created your own program. You have only to select your own program number and press START button, to ensure a perfectly uniform roasting result. The adjustment of roasting strength can be used during the ongoing roasting process. But, if you select your own program and press ENTER button, the 'roasting strength Adjust (Gauge)' window will be displayed, allowing for easier access to change in the roasting strength. The next unit will provide information on how to perform a consecutive operation of smart Coffee Roaster, CEROFFEE CRF-800, being suitable for more professional users.
