SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST
The temperature probe is used for both the solid state
control and the computer control. The probe is an RTD
(resistance temperature detector) of the thermistor
type. As temperature increases, the resistance value
decreases.
Probe Fault
If a temperature probe fault or high temperature
condition occurs, a fault message will be displayed
and the electronic alarm will sound continuously. The
heat demand and basket lift outputs are deactivated.
If a cooking cycle is in process (timer active), it will be
canceled, and the key pad disabled.
This will continue until the fault clears, power is cycled
or problem resolved.
Control Type
Display Message
Solid State
An open will display "Prob," and a
short or high temperature condition
will display "HI."
Computer
An open will display "PROBE
OPEN," and a short of high
temperature condition will display
"PROBE SHORT."
To Check:
1.
Turn off power switch.
2.
Disconnect the temperature probe and the drain
valve interlock (DVI) connector.
Fig. 43
NOTE:
The connector as six pin positions, and is
labeled G on the wiring diagram.
3.
Test the probe using a VOM to measure
resistance. Connect the meter leads to pins 3 and
4 on the male connector.
A.
If the measured resistance values are within
the allowable range, the probe is functioning
properly. Reverse procedure to install.
B.
If the measured resistance values are
outside the allowable range, install a
replacement probe, and check for proper
operation.
Temperature (°F)
Resistance (Ω)
77
90,000-110,000
350
604-836
302-369
191-233
NOTE:
1
High temperature alarm level for the
cooking controls.
2
Shorted probe equivalent
temperature.
COOKING CONTROL
CALIBRATION
NOTE:
Verify condition of temperature probe as
outlined under TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST before
proceeding.
1.
Check the level of shortening in fry tank. The level
must be between the MIN and MAX fill lines
before proceeding.
2.
Allow shortening to cool below 300°F.
3.
Place a thermocouple in the geometric center of
the fry tank, 1 inch below the shortening surface.
4.
Set the cooking control to 350°F, and turn on the
fryer.
5.
Monitor the heat indicator lamp. When cooking
control is calling for heat, lamp will be on. If
cooking control is satisfied, lamp will be off.
Solid State Control – Decimal point of first
character indicates heat on when lit.
Computer Control – Two LED lamps on the
Oil Temp key indicate heat on when lit.
NOTE:
Agitate the shortening to eliminate any cold
zones.
A.
Allow cooking control to cycle three times to
stabilize shortening temperature.
