The Barista Dashboard™
Slayer Steam X is equipped with a digital interface that displays
the essential functions of the machine. Through the Barista
Dashboard™, you have access to brewing parameters, advanced
operating settings, and more.
BASICS OF NAVIGATION
• Menus, settings, and queries display in rectangular screens,
located directly above each grouphead.
• Jog wheels, located to the right of each screen, are used to
enter menus, cycle options, make selections, and adjust
settings. These actions are accomplished by pressing in or
rotating the jog wheel.
• During the initial setup, select the item to change, choose to
save across multiple groups if applicable, then scroll to the
next menu setting until setup is complete.
• The menu layout is circular; after cycling through the end of
the menu options, the first menu option will reappear.
Protip: At any time, you may move the grouphead actuator
left/right to quickly save/exit the menu.
GE T TING STARTED
The left group screen is the main menu for all machine
adjustments. Groups 2 and 3 (if applicable) have limited menus
affecting only basic brewing parameters. While the machine is
idle, the left group screen will display up to four (4) units of
information:
• Brew temperature (“Temp”) reading, displayed in tenth-
degree (0.1-degree) increments in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• Brew time (“Time”) for the previous extraction, displayed in
tenth-second
(0.1-second) increments. At the beginning of each
extraction, the timer will automatically reset and begin
counting up from zero (0). At the end of each extraction, the
timer will automatically stop and will remain visible until the
next extraction begins.
• Brew weight (“WT”) for the previous extraction, measured by
a flow meter and displayed in tenth-gram (0.1-gram) increments.
When a scale is not in use, weight will be displayed as an
approximation based on readings from the flow meter.
• Steam tank pressure (“Stm”) reading, displayed in 0.1-bar
increments.
The screen that corresponds to the leftmost grouphead will
display two (2)
additional units of information:
• Heating element activity, represented by a colon (“:”). When
a brew tank is being heated, the colon will flash near the brew
temperature reading on the corresponding screen.
• Steam tank fill status, represented by an upward-facing
arrow. When the
steam tank is being filled, the arrow will appear next to the steam
tank pressure reading.
