Installing the roaster

For detailed guidance on requirements for installing the roaster, please see the installation and technical specifications.

Postion the roaster on a hard surface, with at least 80 cm of space around all sides of the machine to allow access for cleaning and maintenance.

When moving the roaster:

  • Support the roaster by the base. Do not lift by the cooling tray or any other detachable parts.
  • The roaster weighs 80 kg. As such, to move it manually, it should be lifted by four or more people, located on opposite sides of the machine, holding it by the frame at the base.
  • Alternatively, the machine may be lifted using a lifter or block and tackle, inserting the forks or straps under the base, between the feet of the roaster.

With the roaster in place, install the chaff bin:

  1. Use the tri-clamp to connect the chaff bin to the elbow attachment, placing the gasket in between the two parts.
  2. Connect the elbow attachment to the chaff extruder, using the clamp installed there. Ensure the chaff auger back plate remains in place when attaching the clamp.

Attach the WiFi antenna at the rear of the roaster, if it isn't already installed.

Connect the roaster to ventilation. We recommend that the drum exhaust at the top of the machine and the cooling tray exhaust at the rear of the machine be connected to separate ducts. For more details on ventilation requirements please see the installation and technical specifications.

Connect the roaster to the power supply. The roaster can be simply plugged in to a C-form (IEC 60309) socket of the appropriate specifications. Alternatively, the machine can be connected directly to a rotary isolator. This should be carried out by a suitably qualified technician.

Configure settings

When installation is complete, turn on the roaster via the rotary switch at the rear. The machine may take a few minutes to boot the first time switching it on.

When the machine is ready, you will see a pop-up on the front screen asking if you want to enable the heating elements. Choose 'Keep heaters disabled' to continue setting up the machine.

Connect to Wi-Fi

  • On the touchscreen, tap on the Wi-Fi symbol wifi in the top menu bar.

  • Select the network you wish to connect to from the list.

  • Enter the password using the on-screen keyboard.

  • Take care to enter the password correctly: Wi-Fi passwords are case-sensitive.

  • Alternatively, connect the roaster directly to your router with an ethernet cable (not included).

Enable first crack detection

You can enable and disable first crack detection from the settings menu.

  • On the touchscreen, tap on the gear icon settings in the top menu bar to enter the settings menu.
  • Tap on 'Roast'
  • Next to 'Detection', tap on the toggle switch toggle_p3000 to turn first crack detection ON on_p3000

Adjust the first crack settings as required:

Bean temperature threshold

Set the roaster to ignore any crack-like sounds it hears below a certain temperature.

Trigger count

The number of cracks the roaster needs to hear before marking first crack.

Sensitivity

How sensitive the algorithm is to crack-like sounds. If the roaster is recording false cracks, decrease the sensitivity slightly. If the roaster is missing cracks that you can hear, try increasing the sensitivity slightly.

To save your settings and exit the menu, tap the X symbol close_p3000 at the top right of the screen.

Configure the display

You can choose what units to use and which sensor data to display on the home screen.

  • Tap on the gear icon settings in the top menu bar to enter the settings menu.
  • Tap on 'Display'.
  • Select the sensor data you which to display and choose which units the machine should use.

You can also adjust the screen's brightness and colour settings directly:

  • Open the machine front door: use a large flat-bladed screwdriver to turn the latch, then pull the door open towards you.

  • There are two controls at the top of the screen that are accesible from behind the door: a rocker switch, and a button.

  • To change the screen settings, press on the rocker switch to enter the menu.

  • Move the rocker switch in either direction to scroll through the screen's menu options. Press on the rocker switch to confirm the current selection.

  • Press on the button to cancel the current selection and return to the previous menu.

Check for updates

  • Tap on the power icon power_p3000 in the top menu bar to enter the shutdown menu.

  • If a firmware update is available, the machine will notify you here. Tap on 'Update firmware' to download and install the update. The machine will install the firmware and reboot automatically.

  • If no update is available, tap 'Cancel' to return to the home screen. 

Enable the heating elements

  • Tap on the gear icon settings in the top menu bar to enter the settings menu.

  • On the lower left-hand side of the menu, tap on the toggle switch heater-toggle_p3000-1 next to 'Heater enabled' or 'Heater disabled' to enable or disable the heaters.

  • Once the machine warms up, you are ready to start roasting.

Test the roaster

Once the machine has warmed up (with the drum temperature above 150°C), run an empty batch to make sure everything is working correctly.

  • Before you start, set up your web portal account and navigate to the 'Live' view.
  • Tap 'Start' in the top-right corner of the screen. This will start a dummy roast (with no beans in the machine).
  • Check that you can see the roasting data in the live view.
  • Let the roast run for a few minutes. Check that no hot air is leaking from around the exhaust connections or anywhere on the roaster, that there are no unexpected noises, and that all the sensor data looks correct.
  • Tap 'End Roast' when you are ready to stop the test.

'Seasoning' roasts

The P3000 drum is made of stainless steel and does not need seasoning. However, we recommend roasting a few batches of test coffee to ensure everything is working correctly before you start full production. Follow the 'Roasting from start to finish' guide to roast your first batches of coffee.

Shut down the machine

Follow these steps to shut down the machine safely after use.

  • Tap on the power icon power_p3000 in the top menu bar to enter the shutdown menu. The machine will begin the cooldown process automatically.

  • When the drum temperature reaches 50 °C, the 'Shut down' button will activate. Tap it to shut down the machine.

  • When the machine has finished shutting down, a notification will appear that the machine can now be switched off manually. Turn off the machine with the rotary switch at the rear.
  • In an emergency, the power to the machine can be disconnected immediately at any time by turning it off with the rotary switch.
