Press the PROG button to continue onto INP A_VHDSF_M check.
11. INP A_VHDSF_M
NOTE: The V, H, D, S, F, and M signals are wired in series. The first signal missing out of this sequence will generally cause all signals to the right of it to be missing as well.
This mode displays the status of components and inputs. If the input signal is detected, an identifying letter is displayed (see below). If the signal is not detected, “_” is displayed.
- With the POWER switch turned to ON, and all inputs detected, “H_ P_ A_VHDSF_M” displays. Following are definitions of the codes.
- A = POWER switch turned to ON
- V = Volts - 24 VAC detected
- H = High Limit - If “H” is present, the high limit is good, if “H” is missing, the high limit is tripped (overheated) or faulty
- D = DRAIN SWITCH - If “D” is present, the drain handle is closed, if “D” is missing, the drain is open or faulty
- S = POWER switch “on” interlock circuit - If “S” is present, the POWER switch is in the ON position, if the “S” is missing, the POWER switch is either off, failed, or wired incorrectly
- F = FAN
- M = MV - Detects 24 V jumper to MV terminal
- Press the down-arrow button to view the specific status of each input.
- An underscore (“_”) indicates the input is not presently detected.
- A Checkmark (“√” ) indicates the signal is detecting a normal input.
- A blinking (“X”) indicates the signal is presently detected, but is detected as a half-wave (partially failed)input.
- Press the down-arrow to continue onto OUTP H* check.4
12. OUTP H*
This mode displays the status of components and outputs. If the output signal is detected:
- An identifying letter is displayed followed by “*”.
- If the output is off, “_” displays.
H = Heat output
If heat is on:
- “H*” displays
- If heat is off, “H” displays.
- If the control senses a problem with the heat output, “H*” displays with “*” flashing.
- Press the down-arrow button to view the “amps” status of output.
- If “H√” displays, it means the amps are good.
- A flashing “X” behind the H means a problem exists.
- Press the down-arrow button to view the No Connect/Ground (“NC/GD”) status of the output. This monitors a possible problem with the relays on the output PC board.
- If “H√” displays, it means everything on the output PC board is good.
- A flashing “X” behind the H means a problem exists.
- Press the down-arrow button to view the outputs and inputs together.
- Press the PROG button to continue onto the POT TMP reading.
13. POT TMP
This step displays the present oil temperature. Press the down-arrow button to continue onto the CPU TMP reading.
14. CPU TMP
This displays the present PC board temperature. Press to continue onto the ANALOG reading.
15. ANALOG <1> 2344
This step displays the present status of any channel of the controller’s a to d converter. This feature may be useful to a technician troubleshooting the fryer or controller.
The displayed value can be toggled between volts and bits by pressing the number 1.
- If the displayed value has a decimal point, it is voltage (0 to 5 VDC).
- If no decimal point is shown, the value is a-to-d bits (0 - 4095).
Press the PROG button to continue onto AC VOLTS reading.
16. AC VOLTS 98%
This item displays the present status of the line voltage supply to the fryer. The displayed value is averaged over a 10-second period, so brief dips or fluctuations in the voltage might not show up in this display. The voltage is normally displayed as a “percent of nominal” value, where 100% would indicate that voltage is right on the nominal value (i.e. 208 volts for a 208v fryer). The display can be toggled to an actual voltage value by pressing the number 6 . Press the PROG button to continue onto AMPS reading.
17. AMPS 33 33 33
For electric fryers, this display shows the present readings from the fryer’s amps sensors, which monitor the electrical current supplied to the heaters. On open fryers, these values indicate the current through each individual heater coil. On 208 or 240 volt units, this value should be close to the value on the data plate. On 480 volt fryers, this value should be the value on the data plate multiplied by 1.76. The “amps” values should normally cycle on and off with the HEAT ON light, and all three values should be about the same.
Press and hold the PROG button to exit Information Mode at any time, or after 2 minutes, controls automatically exit back to normal operation.
