INTRODUCTION

The GDF14 Series Frozen Product Dispenser is a compact, semi-automated system that replaces manual basketing of Frozen Fries /Appetizers. There are three models in the Series: GDF14, GDF14E and GDF14EL.

The GDF14 Series Frozen Product Dispenser weighs loads of frozen product and dispenses the selected weight into the Fryer Basket each time the Dispense button is pressed, or automatically dispenses when the Auto mode is activated.

The GDF14 Dispenser’s Hopper holds frozen product prior to Basket Loading. (See the Specifications for capacities. Capacity varies depending on the type and volume of the fry cut or appetizer.) A rotating Dispenser Drum inside the Hopper transfers the product onto the Accumulator Doors where a weighing system accurately weighs the frozen product.

NOTE: This equipment is manufactured in the U.S., therefore all hardware measurements are in English, and the metric conversions stated are approximate.

ASSEMBLING THE GDF14 DISPENSER

1. Turn the Hopper (Item 1) upside down with the window facing forward. Place the Drum (Item 2) into the Hopper. The end of the Drum with the square hole must face the back of the hopper. The ends of the Drum fit into round indentations on the inside of the hopper. Once the Drum is in place, the Drum Pin (Item 3) is inserted into the hole on the front of the Hopper and the thumbscrew tightened down. Check that the Drum turns freely before continuing.

2. Turn the Hopper upright to install the Diverter (Item 4). The Diverter has two outer holes that have right angle slots. The round part of the outer holes fits over shoulder bolts (Item 5) on the inside left of the Hopper. After the Diverter has been placed on the shoulder bolts, slide it down and then to the left to fit the shoulder bolts into the right angle slot. The two inner holes on the Diverter are provided as finger grips to help guide the Diverter into the correct position.

Step 1 Step 2

3. Mount the Basket Rack (Item 6) onto the Shoulder Bolts on the Dispenser Chassis.

4. Place the Acc umulator Tray (Item 7) onto the Accumulator Doors. The wider end/larger opening is the topside of the Tray. The Accumulator Tray has two parallel grooves to fit directly and securely on the Accumulator Door Shaft bars.

5. Grasp the front of the Hopper where indicated by the arrows to mount the Hopper to the Support Bars. Slide the Hopper onto the Hopper Support Bars aligning the Drum Motor shaft with square hole in the Dispenser Drum. It may be necessary to manually rotate the Drum to attain proper alignment between the Drum and the Drum Motor Shaft. Do this by sliding your hand under the Hopper between the Hopper and Accumulator Tray. You will feel the Drum align on the shaft as you manually rotate the drum. Once the Drum Motor Shaft and Drum are properly aligned, slide the Hopper completely onto the Dispenser Chassis. Apply gentle pressure to the Hopper to fully engage the Hopper onto the Hopper Support Bars. CAUTION: Do NOT force the Hopper back, damage to the Hopper or Drum could occur.

GDF14 Series Dispensers

LOADING FROZEN PRODUCT INTO HOPPER

To achieve optimum yield and the most consistent basket loads, it is important to use the following technique for loading frozen product into the Hopper. (See Specifications on page 3 for Hopper capacities. Capacity varies depending on the type and volume of the fry cut or appetizer.)

For each bag or box of frozen product:

1. Remove the bag or box of product from the case. Be careful not to crush the product.

2. Open the top of the bag or box completely. If your supplier uses bags, make sure the bag top is fully open. If it is partially open, the product may be retained by the bag.

3. Hold the opened end of the box or bag closed with your hand and lay the opened end of the bag or box into the bottom of the Hopper against the wall opposite the Diverter.

WARNING

PINCH HAZARD

Personnel should take care not to place hands or fingers near the Drum, inside the Hopper, while this machine is in operation. Hands or fingers could be pinched between the Drum and the Hopper as the Drum turns.

4. Release the opened end of the bag or box.

5. Empty the bag or box into the hopper by pulling it evenly toward the Diverter. When adding multiple bags of fries, alternate the placement of the bag or box in the hopper opposite of the previous bag or box. The second bag of product should be emptied into the Hopper with the opening toward the Diverter, pulling it evenly toward the Hopper Wall opposite the Diverter, leaving a uniform layer of product.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 until the Hopper is full.

NOTE: Do NOT fill the Hopper past the top. NOTE: This criss-cross loading method

assures an even distribution of varying length product in the Hopper and the Baskets.

NOTE: To reduce product breakage, do NOT shake or drop product from the bag or box into the Hopper.

6. Close the Lid on the Hopper.

NORMAL OPERATING MODE

When the Dispenser is turned ON it will automatically be in the Normal Operating mode. (See Illustration on page15) It will be in either Manual or Auto mode. Initially (if there is no product on the accumulator doors), the Drum motor will begin to turn and the Display will indicate that the Dispenser is FILLING the Accumulator Doors.

If the Weight Sensor does not detect product on the Accumulator Doors to meet the weight setting after 40 seconds, the Dispenser will assume there is a problem with the product (bridging) in the Hopper or that the Hopper is empty. The Indicator Light will begin to blink slowly (1 blink per second) and the Display will indicate that the Hopper is Empty. To correct this condition, check the Hopper for product bridging (there is a sufficient amount of product in the Hopper, but fries or other food product have clumped together, forming a bridge, so that the product is not falling onto the Drum or Accumulator Doors) or refill it and then press the Dispense/Reset button.

NOTE: The drum will automatically start turning after 90 seconds if the dispense/Reset button is not pressed.)

After sufficient product is dispensed on to the Accumulator Doors to satisfy the Weight Sensor, the Display will indicate that the Dispenser is Ready to deliver the product into a Fryer Basket.

After half a second, the Accumulator Doors will cycle to deliver the product into the Basket. The Indicator Light will then come back on. In the Manual or Auto mode, pressing the Dispense/Reset button will also deliver the product into the Basket.

CHANGING THE DISPENSER WEIGHT SETTINGS

While in the Normal Operating mode the operator can easily change the Dispenser weight settings.

Press the Scroll Up weight settings. These values will be shown on the display screen. The preset default weight selections are 0.50 lb/0.25 kg, 1.00 lb/0.50 kg, 1.50 lbs/0.75 kg and possibly 2.00 lbs/1.00 kg. The basket weight can be adjusted by 0.10 lb/.05 kg increments.

If the new weight selection is increased from the previous selection, the Drum will turn to achieve the new increased weight before delivering a basket load.

DIAGNOSTICS FUNCTIONS - DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS

While in the Diagnostics mode, the Dispenser will still operate normally. The Dispenser can be operated while watching the Diagnostic Display. If a function is manually operated with the Scroll Up/Down

buttons, the

normal function will be suspended until returning to the Normal Display screen.

FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTIONS

Software Version Displays the version of software installed in the Dispenser. Disable Weighing Turns off weighing mechanism in order to service the Dispenser. The Drum does not rotate,

but the Accumulator Doors still activate.

Error Counts Records the number of errors per error code. Displays two rows, each containing three sets

of numbers. Use the Scroll Up/Down

buttons to show the previous or next row.

(See Error Code Definitions page 23).

Clear Errors

Clears all error code counts. Use the Scroll Up

button to set Clear and the Scroll Down

button to set Save. Press Menu/Enter button to execute the command.

Accumulator

H: Home Sensor. ON = doors are shut. OFF = doors are not fully shut. M: Accumulator Motor Drive output. ON = output on. OFF = output off. T: Indicates half the time for a full door cycle (time lapse for Accumulator Doors to close,

open, and close again). Typically in the 80’s, this number is read as hundredths of a second (88 indicates 0.88 seconds). This used to determine when the doors are fully open. A large increase in this time/number could indicate a mechanical interference.

C: Electrical Current running through Accumulator Motor in amps (typical reading – 1.2 amps opening, 0.5 amps closing).

S: Status of Accumulator Door cycle. Shut/Open/Err: Indicates the program status for the Accumulator Doors.

Weighing System M: Drum Motor Drive output. Range is from 40- to 40+ with 0 (zero) being OFF. Positive

values will operate the Drum Motor forward. Negative values will operate the Drum Motor backward. Each increment away from zero will increase the motor speed.

C: Electrical Current running through Drum Motor, typically under 0.5 amps. A higher reading indicates a load on the Drum Motor.

S: Status of Weighing cycle. W: Indicates the live weight on the Accumulator Doors. Shut/Open/Err: Indicates the status of the Accumulator Doors.

Basket Sensor Test /Power

Bask: ON - Sensor detects a basket. OFF – Sensor does not detect basket. State: Status of Basket Sensor.

Supply

Power: DC Voltage reading for the power supply.

Exercise Mode

Restore Defaults Select English or Metric. This function restores the weighing system settings, language, error

The calculations must stay within range to work properly.

A: Mathematically limited range between 68 and 83. B: Mathematically limited range between 87 and 115. C: Linearity measure, range between 15 and 23. D: Derived from other values. E: Input in volts. Used to check electrical behavior of the weighing mechanism. F: Range measurement between 14 and 28.Normal value is near 20. A reading outside this

range indicates scale (calibration) issues. G: Offset reading, range between 0 and 7378. Normal range is 2000 to 4000. The following

conditions hold true if any value is within normal range:

1. Range and Linearity numbers are good.

2. Weight reading is near 0 when the accumulator is empty.

3. Slight upward pressure on the accumulator provides a negative weight reading.

If the Offset reading is in the normal 2000 to 4000 range, but the calibration is not correct, then there is mechanical interference with the accumulator assembly. Check the following areas:

1. Shaft collars.

2. Interference between the hopper and accumulator tray.

3. Accumulator bearings.

Dispenser performs a continuous basket cycle. Drum Motor turns, Accumulator Doors open. The

umber indicates the number of times the cycle has occurred. n

counts, and calibration to default settings. Recalibrate the weights after restoring the default. Default settings are: Language = English, Preset Weight = English (lbs.).

ERROR CODE DEFINITIONS

ERROR #1 -

ERR_ACCUM_TIME

The vane sensor on the accumulator motor has failed to change state when expected. This can be invoked if the sensor fails to turn off when the accumulator starts to open, or if the sensor fails to come on when the Accumulator Doors are closed. Error indicates a mechanical blockage in the accumulator or motor, or an electrical fault in the motor, vane sensor, harnesses, or controller. This error will only occur when the accumulator is supposed to turn.

ERROR #2 -

ERR_LINEAR

This is a validity check on the calibration process. There are several points in the calibration process in which bad calibration data can be detected. This may result from poor calibration weights, improper performance of calibration, interference between the accumulator and other parts of the dispenser, a mechanical shift of the weighing mechanism, failure of the Weight Sensor, or failure of the controller. This error will only occur during calibration.

ERROR #3 -

ERR_WATCHDOG

The controller has restarted itself. This error indicates electrical interference with the controller. This error is silent. It does not halt the dispenser or give an error message. It may only be detected by the unexpected appearance of the copyright message, or by checking error counts.

ERROR #4 -

ERR_NVRAM_NACK

This indicates an electrical failure of the non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The solution is to replace the controller. Whenever this error occurs the dispenser has been restored to English defaults and will need to be customized and calibrated before it can be used. This error will only occur at power up.

ERROR #5 -

ERR_NVRAM_CHECK

Indicates corrupt data in the NVRAM. This is normal the first time a dispenser is powered up with new software. It may also occur if electrical interference prevents the data from being properly written to the NVRAM. Whenever this error occurs the dispenser has been restored to English defaults and will need to be customized and calibrated before it can be used. This erro r can only occur at power up. (If this error happens regularly, it indicates a failing NVRAM and the controller must be replaced.)
