Operating the (FASTIMER.) Meridian Timer

Features Explained

Operating the Timer

Programmable Action Alarms

Up to three action alarms can be programmed for each product key. An action alarm alerts the operator to perform some action at a pre-programmed time.

Programmable Hold Time Linking

Each product key can be linked to an independent hold timer, or multiple product keys can be linked to a single hold timer.

Programmable Hold Times

Product key hold times can be programmed to track product quality through a specified holding period. The timer will sound an alarm when the product's hold time has expired alerting the operator to discard the product.

Automatic Least Hold Display

Product with the least amount of hold time remaining will be shown in the display. Pressing and holding the HOLD key allows you to view each active product’s remaining hold time.

Start a Cook Cycle

Press any product key to start a cook cycle. If the key is programmed, the correct cooking time will be displayed and will immediately start to count down in minutes and

seconds. DONE will display when the cook cycle has ended.

The pressure solenoid will also close if programmed to do so, or a basket lift will lower if so equipped.

If DONE is displayed immediately and the unit starts to signal, the product key being pressed is not programmed.

Stop a Cook Cycle

Press and hold an active product key for 3 seconds. Timing will stop.

Respond to a DONE Alarm

Cancel the signal by pressing the same product key used to start the cook cycle.

Action Alarms

If the timer is programmed for action alarms, they will signal at a preset time during the cooking cycle. The signal, a dual-rhythm beeping, will last 5 seconds and then self-cancel. The display will flash the action alarm time and

the timer will start counting toward 0:00.
