 IS System Suggested Settings/Timer Operation

NOTE: IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE, RESET TIMER. 

 (See Step 2 above).

After the plumbing installation is complete, the Big Dipper unit needs to be set for the proper 

automatic self-cleaning operation for the facility.  All Big Dipper IS models are equipped with a 24 

Hour/96 Event time controller.  This time controller is located under the lid of the motor housings 

mounted on top of the Big Dipper lid (See Pages labeled “Electrical Connection Detail” sketches 

of this location).

Depending upon the amount of accumulated grease and oils, the system may need to be reset 

to operate more or less time to skim all separated grease and oils.  This can be determined by 

removing the top cover and observing the depth of the separated grease layer shortly after a 

cleaning cycle is completed.  This layer should not be more than 1/2” (13 mm) thick.  If this layer 

is consistently thicker, increase the operating times of the Big Dipper IS System by 30 minutes for 

each additional 1” (25 mm) of grease not to exceed 2 hours in a complete run cycle.  If required, 

additional run cycles can be added throughout the day.
