Pitco SSHLV Series - Basket Lift (Optional); Auto Top Off - ATO (Optional)

Pitco SSHLV (ROV) Gas Fryers
3.8 Basket Lift (Optional)
The basket lift is a self contained unit that requires a 120V, 208V, or 240V supply. With most fryer
configurations, the power is supplied from the entrance box at the back of the fryer, but some
configurations require power directly from a wall outlet.
• When power is supplied to basket lift assembly, the baskets lift to the up position.
• The baskets lower with a 24 VDC output from the controller.
• The basket lift control voltage is supplied from the controller
• The basket lift operational voltage is supplied from the line voltage supply that powers the
transformer in the basket lift assembly.
3.9 Auto Top Off – ATO (Optional)
• If equipped, the optional Auto Top Off (ATO) adds small doses of oil from the “Jug in Box” or JIB
when low oil conditions are detected. During frying, small amounts of oil are absorbed (called
“drag out”) by the food and removed from the fryer. These small amounts eventually lead to
replenishment with a “Top Off” event.
• The fryer cannot be filled from empty with the Auto Top Off option.
• The ATO uses the filter pump to move oil from the JIB to the fry vat when low oil conditions are
sensed. A linear actuator redirects the pump flow from the JIB during a Top Off event.
• The ATO doesn’t not operate during a cook cycle to keep the oil hot during cooking. Adding
room temperature oil during cooking would negatively impact the cook cycle and product.
• The ATO probe is located in a reservoir (or weir) at the front, top of the fry tank as pictured
above:
• The probe reservoir must be free of debris & food particles to work properly.
• The ATO probe plugs into the Auto Top Off relay board behind the front control bezel.
The following conditions must be met for the ATO event to occur:
• The vat must be in idle condition, not cooking or melting, with display showing “Ready” or
“Drop”. This display typically shows when the vat is within 20°F of cooking set-point.
• When the cooking control shows Ready, the oil level probe will take time to detect the low level
condition. The lower the level the faster the response. The reverse is also true. Modestly low
levels take longer to resolve. (< 3/8” below probe). Levels ½” below probe should detect in 3-
1/2 minutes or less.
