GDF28 Dispenser

INTRODUCTION

The Dispenser is a compact automated system that replaces manual basketing of frozen french fries. The Dispenser automatically weighs 12 ounce (350 gm), 16 ounce (450 gm) or 24 ounce (700 gm) loads of frozen fries and dispenses them into custom fry baskets.

The Dispenser's Hopper holds 42 lbs. (19 kg) of frozen french fries prior to basket loading. A rotating Dispenser Drum inside the Hopper transfers the frozen fries onto the Accumulator Doors where a weight sensor accurately weighs the fries.

Empty baskets are manually placed on the Upper Guide. The baskets slide under the Accumulator Doors where fries are dispensed into them. The Basket Lift then lowers the filled baskets onto the Lower Guide where the baskets wait to be picked up by a crew person.

INTENDED USE

The GDF28 Dispenser is intended to dispense only frozen french fries. All food should be stored and handled according to industry recommendations. The GDF28 Dispenser is not intended to be used for storage of food and should be cleaned regularly as described in the manual in order to avoid spoilage and contamination.

HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD (HCS) The procedures in this manual may include the use of chemical products. These chemical products will be highlighted with boldface letters followed by the abbreviation (HCS) in the text portion of the procedure. See the HCS Manual for the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

NOTE: This equipment is manufactured in the

U.S., therefore all hardware measurements are in English, and the metric conversions stated are approximate.

ADAPTIVE WEIGHT TECHNOLOGY

This Dispenser utilizes adaptive weight technology. This allows the optimal parameters used in weighing to be learned for the product being dispensed. It varies the Drum rotation speed to keep the rate of weight gain constant. It takes between 10-20 cycles for the Dispenser to learn the product. The settings will not be changed when the Dispenser is turned OFF, only when the food properties change.

DAILY SET-UP

1. Verify that the Power Switch is in the OFF position.

2. Plug the Power Cord into a wall outlet.

3. Load the Hopper with frozen french fries. DO NOT SHAKE OR DROP the fries into the Hopper (refer to "LOADING THE HOPPER", page 8).

4. Turn the Load Select Switch to the desired load weight.

5. Fill the Upper Guide with empty Custom Baskets.

6. Turn the Power Switch to the ON position (illuminated). Electric motors will orient themselves to starting positions and the dispenser will initiate the filling process.

7. Use filled Baskets from the Lower Guide for Fry production.

8. Return empty Baskets to the Upper Guide for refilling after the cooking cycle is complete.

LOADING THE HOPPER

To achieve optimum fry yield and the most consistent basket loads, it is important to use the following technique for loading frozen fries into the hopper. Depending on your fry supplier, you will receive your french fries packaged in boxes of six pounds each, or bags of six pounds each. These bags or boxes will be packed six to a case. The hopper will accept one full case plus one bag or box of french fries (42 lbs. or 19 kg).

For each bag or box of french fries:

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

2. Open the top of the bag or box completely. NOTE: If your supplier uses bags, be careful that the top is

fully open. If it is partially open, the bag may retain fries.

3. Hold the opened end of the box or bag closed with your hand and lay it in the hopper with the opening toward the side opposite of the diverter.

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 fries should be emptied into the Hopper with the opening toward the Diverter, and pulling it evenly toward the Hopper Wall opposite the Diverter.

NOTE: This criss-cross loading method assures an even distribution of fry lengths in the Hopper and the Baskets.

NOTE: Do NOT shake or drop fries from the bag or box into the Hopper.

NOTE: If the loading is done correctly, you should be able to leave a uniform layer of fries in the hopper by simply pulling the bag or box across the hopper and then out of the hopper.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 until the hopper is full.

NOTE: Do NOT fill the hopper past the top.

7. Close the lid on the hopper by engaging the hook at the

back of the hopper, and setting the lid down

DAILY CLOSING

1. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position.

2. Remove all Baskets from the upper and Lower Guides. Discard and record the uncooked fries.

NOTE: During the last few hours of the day, you may want to keep only two or three bags of french fries in the hopper and run the dispenser in SINGLE mode, to minimize waste.

3. Remove the Hopper Lid by lifting it UP and BACK to unhook the tab.

4. Hang the hopper lid on the front of the hopper, by hooking the tab on the lip of the hopper.

5. Discard and record any fries remaining in the Hopper at closing.

6. Check that the Accumulator Doors are empty of fries.

7. Disconnect the Power Cord from the electrical outlet

8. Remove the Diverter by grasping it and pulling it UP.

9. Slide the Locking Pins outward to release the Hopper.

10. Remove the Hopper (and the Dispenser Drum inside) by pulling the Hopper OUT and AWAY from the Hopper Support Bars.

11. Remove the Upper Guide assembly by lifting the RIGHT end and sliding it to the LEFT.

12. Remove the Lower Guide by lifting it straight UP.

13. Remove the Drip Tray by lifting it from the Basket Stop end and sliding it from under the saddle.

14. Take the hardware removed from the Dispenser to the back sink. Wash it in a hot solution of McD APSC (HCS), rinse with clear water, sanitize and allow to air dry.

15. Roll the dispenser out from the wall, so that you can clean behind it and underneath it.

NOTE: Do NOT roll the dispenser to the back sink for cleaning, this will cause unnecessary wear on the dispenser and possible premature failure.

16. Wipe down the dispenser with a hot solution of McD APSC (HCS) and water. Repeat wipe-down with clear water, sanitize and allow to air dry. NOTE: DO NOT SPRAY DOWN THE DISPENSER. It is not sealed against jetting water and contamination may get into sensitive components. SPRAYING MAY VOID THE WARRANTY!

17. Reassemble the dispenser.

18. Roll the dispenser back into place.

Programs switch position 3. Functions are the same as for Switch Position 1 (Function 6).

Function 9 -NOT USED

Function 10 - Watchdog Test

Causes an Error 8.

Function 11 – Weight Sensor Readout (NCWS)

Displays the current weight sensor reading and is used to test the weight sensor. This is a live display, changing constantly with the weight sensor input. Use function 11 to check the operation of the weight sensor. Applying 1 lb./450gm of weight to the accumulator doors will cause a deflection of approximately 100 counts to the readout. Press the Select button to close the function. NCWS tare should be 30 (+/-9).

Function 12 - Actuate Lift Saddle

The display shows the live lift position. Each time the Enter Button is pressed, the controller will change the state and direction of motion for the circuitry that drives the Lift Saddle. If the Lift Saddle is down, it will go up. If it is up, it will go down. Press the Select button to close the function.

Function 13 - Actuate Doors

Display remains “F13”. Each time the Enter Button is pressed, the controller will activate the Accumulator Doors for one cycle. They will open or close. Press the Select button to close the function.

Function 14 - Actuate Stopgate

Display remains “F14”. Each time the Enter Button is pressed, the controller will change the state and direction of motion for the circuitry that drives the Stopgate. If the Stopgate is open, it will close. If the

Stopgate is closed, it will open. Press the Select button to close the function.

Function 15 - Actuate Drum

The display shows the drum speed (16: fastest, 0: slowest). Each time the Enter Button is pressed, the controller will change the speed (16……0 -16) of the Dispenser Drum. This function is used to test the Drum Motor. Press the Select button to close the function.

Function 16 - Actuate Light

Display remains “F16”. Each time the Enter button is pressed, the controller will change the state of the output that drives the Start/Reset Light. If it is off it will turn it on. If it is on it will turn it off. This function is used to test the Start/Reset Light. Press the Select button to close the function.

Function 17 - Restore Defaults

This function clears the error log, and restores the weighing parameters and lift height values to factory defaults. Calibration and lift height must be reprogrammed.

NOTE: Function 17 will reset Int'l units to US units. Function 25 can be performed to return to "Int'l" status.

Function 18 - Clear Errors

This function resets the counts in the error log to zero. We recommend that this be done periodically to prevent records of occasional errors from building up (even a perfectly running dispenser will get occasional errors from improper handling) and confusing a service tech at a time when the error log could be useful.

Function 19 - Error Counts

Displays the word “Err”. Each time the Enter Button is pressed, it moves to the next error count. When the last count is passed, the display returns to normal mode. The error counts are displayed in numerical order. Error number 9 is not included (error number 9 indicates a memory failure, and therefore renders any history meaningless). For example, if you saw this sequence of displays:

“Err” “1. 0” “2. 0” “3. 1” “4. 3” “5. 2” “6. 0”

“7. 21”

“8. 0”

This would indicate that, since the last time the errors were cleared, there had been one error 3, 3 error 4’s, 2 error 5’s, and 21 error 7’s.

14

GDF28 Dispenser

Function 20 - Parameters

Displays the word “Con”. Each time the Enter button is pressed, it moves to the next weighing parameter. When all parameters have been displayed, the display returns to the normal mode. The weighing parameters are (in order of appearance):

1. Switch position #1 target - the number of digitizer steps that represents .75lbs/12 oz./350gm. The default value is 75 US / 70 INTL (NCWS).

2. Switch position #2 target - the number of digitizer steps that represents 1.0lb/16 oz./450gm. The default value is 100 US / 90 INTL (NCWS).

3. Switch position #3 target - the number of digitizer steps that represents 1.5lb/24 oz./700gm.The default value is 150 US / 140 INTL (NCWS).

If the loads have been adjusted, these may be slightly different. The tare value after calibration should be approximately 30 (+/- 9). For details, see the section on operation/ calibration of the weight sensor. (NCWS)

Function 21 – Not Used

Function 22 – Not Used

Function 23 – Not Used

Function 24 - Bypass Mode Enable (volatile setting)

Entering this function the display will read either “nor,” (normal) Bypass mode disabled, or “bYP”, Bypass mode enabled. BYPASS mode allows the machine to run in single mode when an optical sensor has failed. The “BYPASS” mode has two methods of operation:

Method 1: The Dispenser detects a functioning Weight

Sensor. When the Start/Reset Button is pressed, the

Dispenser utilizes the Weight Sensor to determine the weight of the frozen appetizers. The Dispenser will appear to cycle normally, ignoring other system errors.

NOTE: Bypass Mode is significantly slower than normal operation.

NOTE: All settings function in single basket operation while in Bypass Mode.

Method 2:

The Dispenser detects a failed Weight Sensor.

Holding in the Start/Reset Button, the Drum will turn to dispense frozen appetizers onto the Accumulator Doors. Releasing the Start/Reset Button stops the Drum motor, opens the Accumulator Doors closes the Stopgate, and lowers the filled Basket.

After lowering the Basket, the Lift Saddle will come back up and the Stopgate will open to allow the next Basket to move into the Lift Saddle for filling.

The Bypass Mode is further identified by double flashing of the reset button.

NOTE: The Bypass mode will significantly slow down the operations of the Dispenser. The Start/Reset button has to be used in either mode of Bypass operation.

Entering this function permits selection of ounces or grams as the weighing units. Pressing the enter button will toggle the display between ounces “US” and grams “In” (international) for the weight units. Pressing the Select Button sets the displayed weight units for dispenser operations. The weight sensor should be calibrated after changing this setting.

Function 26 - Exercise Mode (volatile setting). When the dispenser is in the exercise mode, all systems will continuously cycle. The exercise mode is designed to “break in” a replaced component. The exercise mode is volatile and will reset when the dispenser power is turned off.

Function 27 - Display EPROM Revision Level.

The readout will display the revision level of the installed EPROM.

Function 28 - Segment Test

Verifies that all display segments are functional. The segments will illuminate in a moving display mode.

Function 29 - Lift Position Counts

The readout will display the encoder counts for the lift and will change as the lift travels up or down. Default is

77 at the bottom of travel and 179 at the top of travel.

Function 30 - Adjust Lift Down

The readout will display the current or default value for the Lift height (102). Each time the Enter button is pressed, this value will decrease by 1, or approximately 1/12” (2.1 mm). The Select button must be pushed after lowering the lift height to complete the change. The new height setting will take effect on the next lift cycle.

Function 31 - Adjust Lift Up

The readout will display the current or default value for the Lift height (102). Each time the Enter button is pressed, this value will increase by 1, or approximately 1/12” (2.1 mm). The Select button must be pushed after raising the lift height to complete the change. The lift will raise slightly each time the count is incremented.

NOTE: Do not adjust the lift height to compensate for bent saddle/shoulder screws. Maximum recommended lift height is 105. An adjustment of 106 and higher may result in damage to the controller PCB.

Function 25 - Select Weight Units “US” or “In”

ERROR CODES

The status of the Dispenser is displayed on the Start/Reset Button light. When the Hopper is filled and operating automatically, the Start/Reset Button remains steadily illuminated. When a System Error occurs, the Start/Reset button flashes rapidly (about 5 per second). System Errors are a result of incorrectly assembling the Dispenser, or an interruption in the normal operation. System Errors are also displayed inside the Dispenser on the controller PCB. Each error has its own error code; these are summarized below.

Error #9 NVRAM CHECKSUM

Accumulator Home Switch fails to turn off within 0.6 seconds of the motor being turned on, or it fails to turn on within 5.0 seconds of the motor output starting. Error will occur if the motor or home switch is disconnected, obstructed, broken, or the associated input or output on the controller PCB has failed. Error will occur if the motor or encoder inputs are disconnected, or the associated input or output on the controller PCB has failed. Error will occur if there is a physical obstruction of Lift Saddle or damage to Lift Saddle components. Error will occur if there is a Failure of lift drive motor w/ gear box, lift tube, encoder, or encoder disk. The stop gate allows 1.0 second to home itself. Error will occur if the motor or home switch is disconnected, obstructed, broken, or the associated input or output on the controller PCB has failed, or if the Hardstop screw is broken off. The controller PCB has sent the Lift Saddle down and the controller PCB is still receiving the Lift sensor input. Sensor is operating out of sequence. The controller PCB has not received a signal from the guide sensor after the Lift is down. The Guide Sensor has failed to detect a Basket leaving the Lift Saddle.

This is caused by both of the encoder sensors changing at the same time. If the count rate of the encoder exceeds 100 counts per second (normal speed is 51 counts) or something electrically interferes with the encoder sensors, the error would occur. This error could also be caused by contamination. An event other than a normal power up has caused the processor to restart. This could be a watchdog reset, (indicating that the processor has hung or Function 10 was entered), a processor reset (an EMI/RFI problem), or the processor has detected corrupted memory. NOTE: Error code #8 is not displayed. The processor writes the permanent data (error logs, configuration, and operating parameters) along with extra data that it uses to verify the data is valid. Data may be invalid for several reasons:

a) The first time the controller PCB has been used. b) Software upgrade. (When new software has a different memory

configuration).

c) Power down interrupted a Non Volatile RAM write cycle. The write

cycle usually happens when the reset button is pressed to reset an error.

d) The NVRAM has failed

179). There is approximately 1/4 inch between top of stroke and hard stop. The dispenser logic controls the Lift to the specified location. If adjusted to the hard stop (approximately 105), it will still function. Adjusting it past the hard stop will result in an endless chain of Error #2’s, and may result in permanent damage to controllers and lift drive motor.

CHECK/ADJUST SENSOR RANGES

1. Remove all baskets on the dispenser.

2. Select Function 12 on the controller board (see pages 12 & 14) and press ENTER to lower the Lift Saddle. This will prevent the Accumulator Doors from accidentally opening.

3. Verify that the indicator lights for the Basket Sensors are OFF (Lights L2 and L3). See the CONTROLLER BOARD illustrations on pages 29 and 30.

4. Place your hand directly in front of the Basket Sensor Verify that indicator light L2 turns ON. Move your hand away from the sensor until the light turns OFF.

5. Place the palm of your hand in front of the sensor. The indicator light should stay on until your hand is 46 inches (10-15 cm) away from the sensor. If this range is incorrect, adjust the GAIN control on the rear of the sensor.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for the Guide Sensor. The guide sensor lights indicator light L3.

7. Select Function 18 and press ENTER to clear the error log.

8. Turn the power switch OFF.

9. Replace the BACK PANEL.

10. Finish reassembling the dispenser.

СHECK SADDLE FOR DAMAGE

Inspect the four Shoulder Screws for being bent or loose. Measure the Saddle at each Skid Plate position to determine if the Saddle frame is damaged. Measure as shown by the dashed line in the illustration below. Saddle frame should measure 11 5/8" +/-1/16" (295.3mm +/- 2mm).
