I read through the Blog on the Mods using the Google Translator. Very nice job as he addresses both the dwell time for the biscuits both also addresses some shortcomings in the mechanical design and replaces galvanized and Nylon bolts and nuts with stainless to get around any rusting problems.
The basic electrical mod involves locating a specific point on the printed circuit board and using an Exacto knife to cut a couple traces and then solder a new jumper wire onto the board.
Here is the bulk of the text. The spaces are between pictures in his blog. Hope this helps for anyone wanting a quick read of the mod. There is one part that is not clear in the mod as it appears that he has put a rotary switch or potentiometer in to adjust the time but that does not seem to be described in the Blog unless I missed it.
-------------------------------------
Has the new integrated a variable control for biscuitmachine. You can adjust from 20 to about 40-50 minutes depending on how you turn the wheel
Now stop the problems of non burned briquettes.
As I have written I have annoyed for Bradleysmoker, now is the time to do something about it. Will begin to pick apart and mark up all the cables. This is important because some cables fit in two places. Take an example, masking tape and wrap around and write, for example, one on either side.
Say directly, I take no responsibility if you tab you make a mistake or do not get it to work afterwards. Do not have the necessary knowledge about this live with misery or build a "real" smoke. Like I said you do detT at your own risk!
We start by disassembling. Then remove the bracket / enclosure for the circuit board. Unscrew the lid and then screw we removed the circuit board. Now exposed card and we can start to rebuild. What we must do is jumper on the PCB. This may seem like a difficult business but it is not. Just follow the below anvising. Does not report how this card works you can read here what you do is to double the time by changing the circuit board.
Now, the circuit is removed and screwed loose now we can begin to fix. You see the crab / insect IC circuit in the middle.
Locate this. The three resistors with the capacitor represents the frequency of the IC circuit.
You see 2 lines on the right side thereof shall be fixed with.
Close-up
Here's what to do!
Take a knife and cut off as I have, it is important to cut the copper wires in the circuit board
My jumper wire
Solder between these bones, now we have doubled the residence time of the briquettes on the trampoline
Replace the circuit board and seal all the briefings!
We have now completed the operartionen doubled and the residence time of the briquettes 20 to 40 minutes. I have tested and it works very well! The briquettes are completely burned and utnytjade. Now we go to all non-stainless steel screws and stupid solutions.
Viewing this a stupid assembly. Here we have chosen a stainless steel bolt with a nut of galvanized steel, also with nylon top. Idiot Steam! A Nylock nut is burned to get up on the trampoline! In addition, the non-rusting stainless steel nut, what are they supposed to?
Here I show a new and Bradley Nylock! You can not have nylonlåsmuttrar at 300 degrees Bradley! In the background is a stainless steel nut with a lock washer stainless.
Mounted real stuff.
Switched to stainless bolts here
Trampoline with a 125W power, should be about 0.5 cm below the current mounting in order not to transfer heat to the waiting briquette. I will build on this later.
Now finally finished. Now the briquettes 40 minutes of dwell time on the trampoline and burn completely is nothing left, works as it should.
Providing Bradley to show my improvement proposal will see if they are biting!
