Programmable Action Alarms
Up to three action alarms can be programmed for each
product key. An action alarm alerts the operator to per-
form some action at a pre-programmed time.
Programmable Appliance Type
A specific type of appliance; i.e., gas, electric or generic
can be programmed into the controller.
Energy Saving Manual Setback
Setback, an energy-saving feature, will lower the tem-
perature of the oil after a pre-determined amount of in-
active time (1 to 59 minutes). Temperature is
programmable from 200-300°F (93.3-148.8°C). Enter set-
back mode by pressing the SETBACK key. The controller
will display COOL or SETBACK and will control the ap-
pliance to the programmed setback temperature.
Fahrenheit or Celsius Temperature Display
The controller can be configured to display the tempera-
ture in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius (accessible through
System Programming mode).
Programmable (FAST.Flex)
TM
Timing Mode
Flex or straight timing can be configured for each stage
on each product key. To insure consistent, high-quality
food product, flex time will adjust the actual cook time
taking into consideration the temperature variation due
to load size, initial product temperature, product mois-
ture content, and other factors affecting the cook cycle.
If cooking by straight time, the controller will cook only
for the specified time without adjusting for these vari-
ances.
Programmable Filter Lockout Cycle Count
Ensure good-tasting food is always served to your cus-
tomers by requiring the oil be filtered after “x” amount
of times. Any product key with Filter Lockout pro-
grammed will cease to operate until the oil is filtered. A
filter lockout cycle count (valid range 0 to 99) can be pro-
grammed for each product key. To disable filter lockout,
enter 0 for the filter lockout count.
Programmable Global Filter Lockout
A single filter lockout cycle count can be programmed to
apply globally to all product keys.
Programmable Hold Time Linking
Each product key can be linked to an independent hold
timer, or multiple product keys can be linked to a single
hold timer.
Programmable Hold Times
Product key hold times can be programmed to track
product quality through a specified holding period. Hold
time countdown begins as soon as the cook cycle is
complete. The controller will sound an alarm when the
product's hold time has expired alerting the operator to
discard the product.
Automatic Least Hold Display
Product with the least amount of hold time remaining
will be shown in the display. Pressing and holding the
SCAN key allows you to view each active product’s re-
maining hold time.
Melt Cycle
If the vat temperature is below the Melt Limit Tempera-
ture and the controller is ON, it will control the melting of
the oil.
Programmable Operating Mode
The controller can be programmed to operate as either
a controller or timer.
Programmable Pressure Valve
The pressure valve state for each stage on each product
key can be programmed. The valve can be open or
closed.
Note: The valve is normally open when not cooking.
Programmable Stage Temperatures
Cook temperatures for each stage on each product key
can be programmed. The valid temperature range is
200°F to 400°F (93.3°C to 204.4°).
Programmable Stage Times
Cook times for each stage on each product key can be
programmed. The controller is programmable in minutes
(up to 99) and seconds (up to 59) and allows up to ten
stages per product key.
NOTE: Multiple cook starts are not allowed if a product key has more
than one stage programmed.
