Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Theory of Operation SG/SSH Series Service Manual 6
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Fryer Components Operation The SG and SSH fryer components function in specific order of operation. Knowing and understanding the sequence of fryer and components operation enables you to diagnose equipment failure more accurately. Heating System The unit is connected to line voltage: If Fuse F1 on the relay board is good: The A.C. indicator is illuminated. The controller is supplied with 24 VAC.
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Safety System When the roll out switch or hi-limit trips, it interrupts the 24 VAC supply to the ignition module. When the controller calls for heat, it does not receive a 24 VAC HFB. With approximately 90 seconds of HFB loss, the controller indicates an ignition failure or heat failure. After the roll out switch hi-limit is reset, turn the controller off and then back on for the unit to heat.
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Controller Operational Modes MODE BOIL OUT TEMPERATURE SET POINT ENTRY INDICATION With control initially off, toggle the ON/OFF switch: Power and HD indicators are on. HFB indicator flashes at 0.5 seconds rate until exit. Fixed at 200°F (93°C) Press OFF to exit. Same as below except fixed heat cycle. No set point. HD is suppressed if Vat is greater than 250°F (121°C).

Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Solid State Thermostat Field Calibration If field calibration is necessary, follow these steps: Allow appliance to heat to set point, and allow 30 minutes to stabilize. Measure the vat center oil temperature. Compare this with the knob pointer scale. To reposition the knob, pry off the cap of the knob with a sharp knife blade. Without turning the shaft, loosen the 5/16-compression nut and pull the knob off.
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Component Troubleshooting The following sections provide troubleshooting information for the fryer components. Probe The resistance of the probe changes as the temperature changes. The resistance decreases as the temperature rises. If the probe is suspect, check its resistance and the oil temperature (as close to the probe as possible) at which it was taken. Compare these values to the values in the probe resistance chart.
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Drain Valve and Return Valve Switches These switches are a magnetically operated proximity switches. When the drain valve handle is moved to the open position, the actuator moves away from the switch causing the switch to open. When the drain valve is closed, the switch closes. Opening the RED return valve handle closes the proximity switch causing the “pump on” relay to be energized; the pump begins to pump.
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Relay Board NOTE: J connectors are marked on the relay board. With 24 VAC supplied to pin #2 at connector J35 and a good F1 fuse, the relay board has a 24 VAC output at pin #2 on connectors J33 and J34 and the AC indicator is illuminated.
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers Digital Solid State Control NOTE: All controller test points are at connector P/J1 (closest connector to the controller). With 24 VAC supplied to pin #1(24VAC supply) and pin # 5(24VAC input from DVI), the display reads “OFF”. With the controller turned on, there is a 24 VDC output at pin #9 (side on). When the controller calls for heat, the display reads “HEAt”, there is a 24 VDC output at pin #8 (HD) and a 24 VAC input at pin #6 (HFB).
Pitco Solstice and Solstice Supreme High Efficiency Gas Fryers If none of the indicators illuminate when the controller is turned on, verify that the drain valve is closed and that the magnetic proximity switch has continuity when the drain valve is closed. Also verify that there is 24 VAC at pin #1 (24 VAC supply) and pin #5 (24 VAC input from DVI).
