Freezer Lock-Out
Heat Cycle Failure Messages
To comply with health codes, heat treatment system
freezers must complete a heat treatment cycle
daily, and must be disassembled and brush cleaned
a minimum of every 14 days. Brush cleaning is the
normal disassembly and cleaning procedure found in
the Operator Manual. Failure to follow these
guidelines will cause the control to lock the freezer
out of the AUTO mode.
Always comply with local guidelines for the
maximum number of days allowed between brush
clean cycles. (See the Manager/Service Menu for
setting the Brush Clean interval, on page 21.)
If the Heat Treatment Cycle fails, the VFD will
display a failure message and return the freezer to
the STANDBY mode. A “lock” is defined as a special
STANDBY mode of operation which does not allow
the machine to operate in the AUTO mode.
There are two types of freezer lock conditions that
can occur: Hard Lock or Soft Lock. A Hard Lock
requires the machine be disassembled and brush
cleaned. A Soft Lock can be corrected by either
disassembling and brush cleaning the machine, or
by starting another heat treatment cycle.
Hard Lock: There are two causes of a hard lock
failure:
1. The brush clean timer has elapsed (maximum
setting of 14 days). (See Figure 11.)
