CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Installation

Before attempting to operate your unit, read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before
installation. Installation of the Manual LOV™ (Low Oil Volume) M3000 controller requires some
extra steps prior to use. This controller uses network cables for communication between controllers.
The controllers also require locator connectors which identify the position of the controllers in the
bank of fryers. Finally the network must be terminated on the far left controller and the far right
controller of the network.

1.2 Controller Information for the M3000 Controllers

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. While this device is a verified Class A device, it has been
shown to meet the Class B limits. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
the equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio and television technician for
additional suggestions.

The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
