ELECTRICAL OPERATION
COMPONENT FUNCTION - FRYER CONTROLS
Ignitor/ Ground (After
12/1/12)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ignites the gas burner and senses the presence of a flame. The flame presence generates
a micro-amp flame sense current that is rectified to the ignition control module.
Ignition/Blower control
board (After 12/1/12)
. . .
Provides the output signal interface from the cooking control to operate the burner blower
motor in low or high speeds, controls and monitors gas burner ignition. Monitors the
presence of a flame and supplies an ignition status input signal to the cooking control,
Analog (A), Solid State
(D) or Computer
Cooking Control (C)
. . .
Monitors and evaluates input signals to the control: Activates heat output signal to
maintain shortening temperature; counts product cook time(s) and signals the electronic
alarm at the end of a cooking cycle; activates the left and right lift output signal to operate
the basket lifts(s); and activates filter output signal to power the fill solenoid valve.
NOTE:
By utilizing the same wiring harness connections D and C controls are
interchangeable between fryers.
Control Interface
Board (D and C fryers
only)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Provides the output signal interface from the cooking control to regulate gas heating,
basket lift operation and fill solenoid valve operation. The board components consist of
a heat control Triac and K1, K2 & K3 N.O. relays.
Transformer
. . . . . . . . . . Supplies 24VAC to the cooking control, also supplies power to ignition control module.
Transformer is energized when power switch is turned on.
Power Switch
. . . . . . . . Supplies power to control circuit for fryer operation and filtering.
Modulating Gas Valve
. . . Allows the gas flow to modulate between low and high flame when gas valve coil is
energized.
High Limit Thermostat
. . .Prevents the shortening from reaching temperatures over 450°F (auto reset @ 415°F).
Serves as a backup to the cooking control’s high temperature alarm setting of 415°F
(normal operation resumes when temperature falls below this point).
Temperature Probe
. . . Senses temperature of shortening. Converts the temperature into a resistance valve
which is monitored by the cooking control. The probe is an RTD (resistance temperature
detector) of the Thermistor type. As temperature increases the resistance value
decreases.
Drain Valve Interlock
Switch (DVI)
. . . . . . . . . .
A magnetic reed switch mounted on the manual drain valve that supplies a drain valve
position signal (open/closed) to the cooking control. When drain valve is open, the drain
interlock input to the control is removed (magnetic reed switch contacts open). This
prevents gas burners from coming on with the fry tank empty.
Ignition Control
Module (Before
12/1/12)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Controls and monitors gas burner ignition. Monitors the presence of a flame and supplies
an ignition status input signal to the cooking control.
Ignitor/Flame Sense
(Before 12/1/12)
. . . . . .
Ignites the gas burner and senses the presence of a flame. The flame presence generates
a micro-amp flame sense current that is rectified to the ignition control module.
Burner Time Delay
Relays (Before 12/1/12)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
These relays are used in conjunction with the burner either in high or low fire settings.
Blower Relay (Before
12/1/12)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When the relay coil is energized, it supplies voltage to operate the burner blower motor.
Blower Control Board
(Before 12/1/12)
. . . . . .
Provides the output signal interface from the cooking control to operate the burner blower
motor in low or high speeds. The board components consist of 4 dip switches, SW2 and
SW4.
