Pinnacle 2 and 4 Flavor Service Manual
3. Sleep Mode Recommendations
Cornelius recommends programming a sleep for any period of time, over 3 hours, in which the unit will
not have any usage. If the programmed sleep is longer than 6 hours, Cornelius also recommends turning
the ice bank off in the options menu. This will increase the life of the machine and reduce the energy con-
sumption.
A wake time must be programmed to return the unit to normal operation. Cornelius recommends pro-
gramming the wake 30 minutes before the unit is needed if the ice bank option is set to ON and 60 min-
utes before the unit is needed if the ice bank option is set to OFF. These are the time recommended if the
ambient temperature is at 75
o
F. The times will vary depending on the ambient temperature (a higher
ambient temperature require more time for the ice bank to build).
4. Viscosity Setting
The control system in Cornelius FCB equipment includes a function to select the desired product
viscosity. This function is referred to as “Viscosity Setting”. There is a selectable Viscosity range of 1–9
for the Pinnacle. The higher the number selected the more viscous the frozen product in the barrel will
become. This increased viscosity is achieved by freezing the product in the barrel to a lower temperature
thereby increasing ice crystal size/growth. As the ice crystal size increases, however, there is potential for
product quality to diminish.
Cornelius recommends that the viscosity settings be set at the lowest possible setting to achieve
the desired drink quality. In most typical installations using a sugar-based syrup, acceptable
drink quality can be achieved by programmed Viscosity Settings in the range of 3-5 for Pinnacle.
Diet FCB syrups freeze much more readily than sugar based syrups, so the Viscosity Setting
should be selected at the minimum value available (which is 1 for the Pinnacle).
