Configuration Mode Quick Reference These are the functions, parameters and values included in the Configuration Mode for this application. You must select Application 12 to access them. For directions, see the Hardware & Software Setup Guide. The Appendix of that guide includes an explanation of all parameters and values.
Auto-tuning Note: Before auto-tuning Application 12, [teNp1] in the operations menu must first be set to a value that is typical of your application. (See the Hardware & Software Setup Guide for information on programming menus.) Then set [tHerl] / [tunE1] to [```on]. After you accept [```on], by pressing “Enter,” the controller will display [`tunE] while auto-tuning is taking place. The controller will cancel the auto-tuning process if it cannot be completed in 80 minutes.
Step 7 Design a Faceplate Overlay To complete the installation, you must apply a graphic membrane to the front panel of the controller. The following artwork will help you design and create a membrane for this application. For more dimensions and guidelines, see the Hardware & Software Setup Guide. Suggested End-user Overlay: Your Company Logo Heat 1 Temp 2 Time 3 Up 4 5 Start/ Stop 6 Down This Prototyping and Training Membrane Overlay will help you with the configuration and programming steps.
Step 8 Operate the Controller Summary of Key Functions in Operation Mode Key Function A Temp B Time C Increment & Basket Up D Not Used E Start/Stop F Decrement & Basket Down Startup Apply power to the fryer and add cooking oil if necessary. Set the Menu Set the cooking temperature. 1. Press the Temp key [teNp1] and then the cooking temperature value will appear on the display. 2. Press the Up-arrow or Down-arrow key until the value you want appears on the display. 3. Press the Temp key again.
Five Second Timeout When using the up or down keys to change a value, if you do not press any key for 5 seconds, the controller will automatically be set to the last value on the display and return to [`idle]. Initial Preheat At power-up, the unit will preheat to the temperature value set in the Configuration Mode [Etype] / [preHt]. The display will show [prE-`] [`Heat] followed by oil temperature as the oil heats up.
The Melt Cycle To avoid burning congealed oil (shortening), a slow heating action may be necessary. If this is desired, be sure that in the Configuration Mode [etype] / [melt] has been set to [```on]. Then, when the oil temperature is below 212 ºF the heat output will be limited to 10% of full power. This reduces the chance of burning congealed oil while it is heating.
With Sound set to 1, 2, or 3, [``End] will appear on the display and an audible tone will be emitted. The Start/Stop indicator light will flash rapidly. You can acknowledge and silence the tone by pressing the Start/Stop key or it will time out in 1 to 20 seconds and go into idle. The Start/Stop indicator light will flash slowly. With Sound set to 4 or 5, [``End] will appear on the display and the Start/Stop indicator light will flash rapidly.
5. To repeat cooking, repeat steps 1 through 5. Adjust a Menu While Cooking You can adjust the temperature and time settings during the cooking and hold sequences by performing the actions shown under “Set the Menu” earlier in this section. Changes can be made to temperature and time only during the portion of the cooking sequence in which they are active.

Initial Preheat At power-up, the unit will preheat to the temperature value set in the Configuration Mode [Etype] / [setpt]. The display will show [prE-`] [`Heat] followed by oil temperature as the oil heats up.
If the fryer is not at operating temperature, it will preheat. Meanwhile: The word [Pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments. The menu key indicator light will flash slowly. The temperature of Channel 1 will be displayed until the operating temperature is reached. The heat output indicator light – G, just below the display – will light up whenever the controller is calling for heat.
With Sound set to 4 or 5, [``End] will appear on the display and the menu key indicator light will flash rapidly. You must acknowledge the audible tone by pressing the active menu key. Once acknowledged, the tone is silenced and the controller goes into idle. 4. Remove the food from the fryer. The controller will continue to regulate to the set point. The menu key indicator light will be off. 5. To repeat cooking, repeat steps 1 through 4.

Auto-tuning Note: Before auto-tuning Application 19, [teNp1] in the operations menu must first be set to a value that is typical of your application. (See Hardware & Software Setup Guide for information on programming menus.) Then set [tHerl] / [tunE1] to [```on]. After you accept [```on], by pressing “Enter,” the controller will display [`tunE] while auto-tuning is taking place. The controller will cancel the auto-tuning process if it cannot be completed in 80 minutes.

Five Second Timeout When using the up or down keys to change a value, if you do not press any key for 5 seconds, the controller will automatically be set to the last value on the display and return to [`idle]. Initial Preheat At power-up, the unit will preheat to the temperature value set in the Configuration Mode [Etype] / [preHt]. The display will show [Pre-`] [`HEat] followed by oil temperature as the oil heats.
The Melt Cycle To avoid burning congealed oil (shortening), a slow heating action may be necessary. If this is desired, be sure that in the Configuration Mode [etype] / [melt] has been set to [```on]. Then, when the oil temperature is below 212 °F the heat output will be limited to 10% of full power. This reduces the chance of burning congealed oil while it is heating.
that is, when the [Ready] parameter in the [SetUp] function of the Configuration Mode is set to [```no] — and initial preheat power-up has been completed. 1. Set the menu as shown earlier. 2.
Timer Output If [Etype]] / [T`OUt]] in the Configuration Mode is set to [``yes], when time is counting down Event Output 2 is on. It is off during [Pause], [`Idle] or [Hold]. Temperature Alarms The controller will alert you to temperature alarm conditions if they occur. If an alarm occurs, take action as determined by your supervisor. See the Appendix in the Hardware & Software Setup Guide for a Troubleshooting Chart and a summary of temperature alarms.
