Proofer Control Operation
LBC proofers are designed for simple operation. Once the controls are set, the proofer
can operate all day long with or without the use of the controls four main timers.
•
Turning the proofer Off and On.
To turn the proofer on, press the power button on the control panel. The control
display should immediately light up, showing the current temperature humidity.
Depending on other option settings, the 4-channel timer should also light up. In some
cases, the 4-channel timer will stay on all the time.
To turn the proofer off, press the power button again. The display will turn off.
The circulation fan on the climatizer(s) will continue to operate for an additional 10
minutes to allow the climatizer to cool down.
•
Automatic features.
The proofer control is equipped with programmable features that manage the use of
energy and water when the proofer is not being used.
1.
Open Door Shut down
. If the loading door(s) are left open for an extended
period, the proofer control assumes that the operator is not using the proofer or
has finished the shift. The proofer will automatically shut down in the same
manner as when the power button is pressed. The length of time that the open-
door shut down will delay can be adjusted or can be turned off completely. The
recommended setting is 10 minutes.
2.
Closed Door Idle delay
. If the proofer loading door(s) are left closed for a
period longer than the normal proofing cycle, the control assumes that there is
no product in the proofer. Each time the doors are opened, the delay timer is
reset, and the proofer will operate as set. If the closed-door idle delay time is
exceeded, the control will continue to stay on and control the internal
temperature but will stop producing humidity. This helps to reduce the amount
of condensate on the walls and floor, extends the life of components, as well as
allowing any water treatment system to recharge, such as a reverse osmosis
system. The length of time of the delay can be adjusted or can be turned off
completely. The recommended setting is 50 minutes.
