Wi-Fi Setup and Operation

The first thing you should do is download the AuberWifi App. Once you do this, you can then use the App interface on your smart device to connect your controller to your local network and your smart device. So let's set up a controller and get it talking to a smart device.

Before you begin, make sure your controller is in Access Point mode. You can tell your if controller is in Access Point mode by checking the blue LED on the front of the controller. It should be blinking. If it is on solid, you must reset the Wi-Fi settings on the controller. To reset the Wi-Fi settings use the procedure in Note 2 below. The controller will reboot and then be in Access Point mode with a flashing blue LED.

The next thing you need to do is make sure your smart device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network that you are going to use to connect your SYL-3615 controller. Once you are sure that your controller is in Access Point mode and that your smart device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network the SYL-3615 is going to connect to, you are ready to proceed using the AuberWifi App:

1. First of all, start up the App your phone. You will see the following screen. Tap the circle with a plus sign in the middle.	2. On the next screen, tap "Allow" to give the App access to your network.	3. Next, tap "Allow" to give permission to the App to send you notifications.

4. You are next prompted to enable Location Services for the App. Tap on "Allow While Using App".	5. The App will fill in the name of the network your phone is connected to. You can type in a different network name if needed. Enter your network password and then tap "Add Device".	6. The App now wants you to verify that the controller is in Access Point Mode. We showed you how to do this before we started. Tap "Continue".

7. The App will switch over to your device's Settings application. Tap "Continue" to switch.	8. Tap on the entry for Wi-Fi settings.	9. You should see a list of available networks. Tap on the Auber network to connect your device to the Auber controller.

10. Your device will now attempt to connect to the Auber controller network.	11. Once your device has successfully connected, you will see a checkmark (on iOS devices) next to the Auber network.	12. Close your Settings application and return to the AuberWiFi App. Tap "Yes" to confirm that your phone successfully connected to the Auber network.	13. You are now returned to the App's main screen and there is now an entry for your controller. You can tap on the entry to view information about your controller.

Notes on WiFi operation: Here is some further information on using the Wi-Fi function of your Auber Instruments SYL-3615 controller.

1. Like most of these wireless devices, the Auber Instruments SYL-3615 controller uses only 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi. It doesn't send or receive enough data to warrant the expense of the additional hardware needed to support 5Ghz Wi-Fi. So make sure you are connecting to a 2.4Ghz network.
2. If you need to reset your Wi-Fi parameters (for example, you get a new router or want to use the controller at a friend's house), the best way is to delete your controller from the AuberWiFi App and then reset your Wi-Fi settings on the controller using this procedure:
   • Press and hold the SET key for 2 seconds.
   • Press the DOWN key to highlight the System Config line.
   • Press the SET key to enter the System Config menu.
   • Press the DOWN key until you highlight the "Reset WiFi" item.
   • Press the SET key to select the "Reset WiFi" option.
   • Press the UP key to change the flashing "No" value to "Yes".
   • Press the SET key to reset the Wi-Fi settings.

   The controller will reboot and now be in Access Point mode with a flashing blue LED ready for you to set up using he procedure we just showed you.

3. The blue LED on the front of your controller indicates the status of your Wi-Fi connection.
   • On solid: The controller is connected to your Wi-Fi network.
   • Fast blinking (3-4 times per second): Your controller is in Access Point mode.
   • Slow blinking (Once every 2 seconds): Your controller is out of Wi-Fi range of your network.

4. You can set up your controller to work with multiple smart devices. You need to set up the controller on your first device. Then reset the Wi-Fi settings on the controller (see note 2 above). Do not remove the App or remove the controller from your first device. Then setup the controller on your second device as normal. Once the setup is completed on the second device, the App should work on both devices.
5. You can add multiple controllers to the AuberWIFI App if they are under the coverage of the same Wi-Fi network.

Wi-Fi Connect Modes

There is only one mode of connecting the controller to your smart device, and that is through a Wi-Fi network. There is no ability to "direct connect" the controller to your smart device. Fortunately, the Auber Instruments SYL-3615 controller has a display and "keyboard" so you can still control it without Wi-Fi, just not remotely.

System and Control Configuration

There are two types of configuration parameters on the Auber Instruments SYL-3615, Control Settings which determine how the unit controls the temperature, and System Configuration which determines how everything else works. First, let's take a look at the control settings:

Name	Description	Range	Default
Pit-AH	Pit High Alarm	0-999	350
Pit-AL	Pit Low Alarm	0-999	50
Food-AH	Food High Alarm	0-999	350
Probe3-AH	Probe 3 High Alarm	0-999	350
P	PID Proportional Constant	1-999	45
I	PID Integral Time	0-9999	1200
D	PID Derivative Time	0-999	75
T	PID Control Cycle Time	2-200	15
MODE	Control Mode	Manual-FS Manual-TP PID-FS PID-TP	PID-FS
SAVE	Save PID Settings (You can save up to 6 sets of PID settings. The value you select is the name of the set.)	Back BGE WSM22 WSM18 4 5 6	Back
RECALL	Recall PID Settings (You can recall one of the 6 sets of PID settings. The value you select is the name of the set.)	Back BGE WSM22 WSM18 4 5 6	Back
Back	Back to main menu

Next let's take a look at the System Configuration settings:

Name	Description	Range	Default
PRG	Multi-step program	On, Off	Off
OL Detection	Open-lid Detection	On, Off	On
FMRV	Minimum running voltage of the fan	3.0V - 11.0V	4.0
OUTH	Output high limit	0 - 100%	100
OUTL	Output low limit	0 - 100%	0
C-F	Temperature Unit	°C, °F	F
PB1	Probe 1 Offset	-99 – 100	0
PB2	Probe 2 Offset	-99 – 100	0
PB3	Probe 3 Offset	-99 – 100	0
Buzzer	Enable or disable the on-board buzzer	On, Off	On
nFIL	Powerline Filter	A, B, Auto	B

Push Alarm	Enable pushing temperature alarms to a paired mobile device	On, Off	On
Push Step	Enable pushing step notifications to a paired mobile device	On, Off	On
Reset	Restore all parameters to factory default values	Yes, No	No
Reset WiFi	Reset Wi-Fi chip to AP mode (pairing mode)	Yes, No	No
Update	Check and update device firmware	Yes, No	No
Back	Back to main menu

Many of these settings should be self-evident, but many of them are not. The SYL-3615 Instruction Manual has not been published yet, so for a detailed explanation you will either need to wait for the Instruction Manual or contact Auber Instruments Support.
