Single Board Electronics
The single board electronics, sometimes referred to new electronics are usually used in the MKIII Brewers. There's a very small numbers of MKIV brewers that may run a single board electronics. The single board electronics consist of the primary power supply¹ (PPS), lamp control board and the high voltage module. There are two version of the single board electronics, V1 and V2. See here for firmware programing instructions.
¹Note, both multiboard and single board electronics both have an PPS, however the multiboard uses a 24V/15V/5V power supply while the single board electronics uses 24V/12V/5V power supply. The latest brewer's produced by Kip and Zonen (around Brewer # 250) uses the TDK-Lambda NV175 series power supply. The single Electronics board uses NV1-4G5TT, where the multiboard uses the NV14G5FF.
