1.3 MODES OF NORMAL OPERATION
Following are details of the operational modes of the
IntelliTec control.
NOTE:
The preset amounts, times, and temperatures listed
below are references to actual settings on the
IntelliTec control. Refer to Table 1-1 on page 7 for
details on each setting.
A. INITIAL STATUS
When the Main Freezer Power and Freezing Cylinder
switches are placed in the ON position, the machine will
start in the “Sleep 1 Mode". The display will read "Sleep 1
Mode". The control will eventually move into the “Sleep 2”
mode if the PUSH TO FREEZE button is not pressed.
When the PUSH TO FREEZE button is pressed the control
will move to the “Serve Mode”.
B. SERVE MODE
When the PUSH TO FREEZE button is pressed or a spigot
handle is pulled, the “Serve Mode” begins. The drive motor
starts, and after a 3 second delay, the compressor starts.
The display reads “FREEZING” on the top line and a bar on
the bottom line increases with product consistency. A
toroid on the IntelliTec control senses increasing drive
motor amperage as the product comes to consistency in
the freezing cylinder. When the control senses the product
is at 75% of consistency, the display will read "SERVE",
the amber LED will go out, and the green LED will flash. At
this time, product can be served from the machine. The
drive motor and compressor will continue to run until the
toroid reads a preset value (CutOut amps). When the toroid
reads the CutOut amps on the drive motor, the compressor
turns off and the green LED will remain lit. After a 3 second
delay, the drive motor turns off. The product in the freezing
cylinder is now at serving temperature and consistency.
After product is at consistency, the IntelliTec control
continuously monitors refrigerant temperature through a
thermistor mounted on the side of the freezing cylinder.
When the temperature increases to a preset amount (Cut
In T), a 3-second drive motor pre-stir analyzes product
consistency. The pre-stir check is also performed each
time the spigot handle is opened. This check prevents overfreezing of product, especially during frequent, small volume draws. If the product requires a freezing cycle, the
control will start the cycle.
During the “Serve Mode”, a stir cycle starts. This cycle is
independent of the freezing cycle and is based on preset
times (Stir On and Stir Off). The stir cycle prevents product
separation. If a freezing cycle is initiated, the timer is reset.
In addition to the "Serve Mode" freezing cycle, there is a
freezing cycle based on a preset time (DftOffTime). If this
time is attained without a freezing cycle, the control will
automatically start a freezing cycle.
The machine will remain in “Serve Mode” until the cycle
count setting is attained. The cycle count is the number of
active freezing cycles and is based on a preset value
Figure 1-3 Serve Mode
(Cycles). Once the cycle count has been reached without
user interruption, the control will move into the "Standby
Mode".
If the PUSH TO FREEZE button is pressed or a spigot
handle is pulled, the cycle count is reset and the control will
move to the beginning of the "Serve Mode". Refer to Figure
1-3 for a graphical representation of the "Serve Mode".
C. STANDBY MODE
If no product has been drawn from the spigot and the preset
number of active freezing cycles is met, the control moves
into the “Standby Mode”. In "Standby Mode", the freezing
cycle is based on preset timers (On Time and Off Time), and
prevents ice crystals from building up in the product.
Because the product remains partially frozen, it can quickly
return to servable consistency when the PUSH TO FREEZE
button is pressed.
During “Standby Mode”, the stir cycle runs. This cycle is
based on preset, timed intervals (Stir On and Stir Off) and
prevents product separation.
The "Standby Mode" maintains product quality during slow
times, while minimizing reactivation time. This mode lasts
for a preset time (Stb Time). Once this time has been
reached without user interruption, the control moves into
Figure 1-4 Standby Mode
4
the "Sleep 1 Mode". Refer to Figure 1-4 for a graphical
representation of the "Standby Mode".
If a spigot is opened or the PUSH TO FREEZE button is
pressed, the control will move to “Serve Mode”. Product in
the front of the freezing cylinders may or may not be at
consistency. The state of the product is dependant on a
number of variables but will come to consistency quickly.
D. SLEEP 1 MODE
After the “Standby Mode” time has expired without user
interruption, the control will move into the “Sleep 1 Mode”.
During the "Sleep 1 Mode", the stir cycle is handled by
preset timers (Sl1DrvOn and Sl1DrOff), and allows product
to melt to a liquid state by using agitation cycles without
any flow of refrigerant. Although the product temperature
never increases above 40°F, the product thaws rapidly
which minimizes product breakdown. The control will stay
in the “Sleep 1 Mode” until sensing a preset temperature
(Sl2CutIn). When this temperature has been reached
without user interruption, the control will move to the "Sleep
2 Mode". Refer to Figure 1-5 for a graphical representation
of the "Sleep 1 Mode".
Figure 1-5 Sleep 1 Mode
If a spigot is opened or the PUSH TO FREEZE button is
pressed, the control will move to “Serve Mode”. If the spigot
is opened in "Sleep 1 Mode", the product will not be at
consistency. The operator must wait until the first "Serve
Mode" freezing cycle has completed to serve product.
E. SLEEP 2 MODE
The “Sleep 2 Mode” maintains the freezing cylinder temperature between two preset values (Sl2CutIn and Sl2CtOut).
During the “Sleep 2 Mode”, the stir cycle runs. This cycle
is based on preset, timed intervals (Stir On and Stir Off) and
prevents product separation. The "Sleep 2 Mode" is often
referred to by customers as the “night mode” and the
machine will stay in this mode until a spigot is opened or
the PUSH TO FREEZE button is pressed. When this
occurs, the control will move to “Serve Mode”. If the spigot
is opened at this time, the product will be liquid. The
operator must wait until the first "Serve Mode" freezing
cycle has completed to serve product. Refer to Figure 1-6
for a graphical representation of the "Sleep 2 Mode".
Figure 1-6 Sleep 2 Mode
F. INTELLITEC RESTART (VERSION 3.5 OR HIGHER)
If a hard error occurs (refer the hard error list below), the
IntelliTec control will wait 5 minutes then attempt to clear
the error by restarting itself. The control will count each
restart attempt. The restart count will reset if the PUSH TO
FREEZE button is pressed, the spigot is pulled, or the
Freezing Cylinder OFF/ON switch is placed in the OFF
position.
The following are considered hard errors:
ERROR CODE MALFUNCTION
2High Torque
3Run Time
4Clean
7Drive Motor
9High Pressure Cutout
When a restart occurs, the second line of the display will
read "Restart" and the backlight will blink. This will occur
regardless of the system mode.
G. SLEEP 3 MODE (VERSION 3.5 OR HIGHER)
If a high torque, run time, or drive motor error condition
occurs on the third restart attempt, the control will move to
the "Sleep 3 Mode".
In "Sleep 3 Mode" freezing cylinder refrigeration will run for
4 seconds every 10 minutes. This ensures the product
temperature never increases above 40°F. The stir cycle
and the auger do not run during "Sleep 3 Mode".
The control will exit "Sleep 3 Mode" if the PUSH TO
FREEZE button is pressed, the spigot is pulled, or the
Freezing Cylinder OFF/ON switch is placed in the OFF
position.
H. CLEAN MODE
When the CLEAN button is pressed on the left side, all
hopper refrigeration stops. When the CLEAN button is
pressed on the right side, only the right barrel freezing cycle
stops. In either case, the drive motor of that barrel starts and
will run for 20 minutes and a 5 minute countdown timer is
displayed. After the time has elapsed, an optional audible
alarm will sound if this accessory has been installed. The
5
audible alarm is a reminder for the operator to end the
"Clean Mode" when cleaning is completed.
If the machine is kept in "Clean Mode" for more than 20
minutes, the auger drive motor stops, the hopper refrigeration starts, and an error code (E4) is displayed on the
display panel. The error code prevents damage to the
machine that could occur during an extended clean mode
(Refer to Section 8 - Troubleshooting for details). To clear
this error, place the Freezing Cylinder Off-On switch in the
Off position and back in the On position. If the machine is
still being cleaned, pushing the CLEAN button will reset the
timer and restart the "Clean Mode".
1.4 MIX LEVEL INDICATORS
The hoppers are equipped with a sensor that monitors mix
level. When the mix level drops below the sensor probe, the
lower line of the display will read "Low Mix" and the display
will flash. To clear the "Low Mix" error, add mix to the
hopper.
1.5 HOPPER REFRIGERATION
The IntelliTec control is programmed to handle refrigeration
of the hopper independently from the freezing cylinder. The
left control maintains hopper temperature between two
preset values (HprCutIn and HprCtOut).
NOTE
The Refriger setting should be 2 Hopper for the Left
control and None for the right control.
The hopper refrigeration cycle starts when the temperature
of either hopper reaches the HprCutIn value and stops when
both hoppers reach the HprCutOut value.
In addition to this refrigeration cycle, hopper refrigeration
may start when the freezing cycle starts. This reduces
compressor cycles which preserves compressor life. Hopper refrigeration will start if the hopper temperature is above
a preset value (HprOffst + HprCtOut). This value is always
between HprCutIn and HprCtOut. Refrigeration of the hopper will continue until the HprCtOut is reached or until the
freezing cycle is completed in the freezing cylinder.
The refrigeration cycle will run for a maximum of 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, the refrigeration cycle will stop for a
minimum of 3 minutes. At the expiration of 3 minutes, the
control will check product temperature. If product temperature is at or above HprCutIn, another refrigeration cycle will
start.
NOTE
If the temperature in the cabinet stays above 50°F
for more than two hours, the machine will go into
Sleep Mode and a clean message will be shown on
the display .
1.6 OPERATION DURING SENSOR FAILURE
The IntelliTec control is designed to allow the machine to
continue to function if a temperature sensor failure occurs.
If a sensor fails, the display will show the error and the
control will run the machine on timers for the freezing cycle
or hopper refrigeration. This allows the operator to continue
to serve product from the machine until proper servicing can
be completed.
A. SERVE AND STANDBY MODE
In the event of a temperature sensor failure on a freezing
cylinder, the IntelliTec control will function in two modes,
"Serve Mode" and "Standby Mode". When the product is at
consistency in "Serve Mode", the IntelliTec control uses a
timer instead of the sensor and will not start another
freezing cycle until a preset value (DftOffTme) is met.
The control will monitor product after it is at consistency,
activating the stir cycle and counting the number of cycles.
When the cycle count is reached, the control will move to
"Standby Mode".
Figure 1-7 Serve Mode (Sensor Failure)
The "Standby Mode" is the same as in normal operation
with the exception of when the preset time (Stb Time) is
met, the control moves back into the "Serve Mode". Refer
to Figure 1-7 for details.
In the event a hopper temperature sensor fails, the control
will use the temperature of the other hopper to control the
refrigeration cycle.
If both temperature sensors fail, the refrigeration cycle is
managed by preset times (Hpr On and Hpr Off). This
refrigeration cycle is independent of the freezing cycle.
1.7 MOTOR PROFILE CUTOUT
COMPENSATION
The IntelliTec control is programmed to automatically
function at a range of supply voltages. This feature provides
the advantage of having product maintained at a specific
temperature and consistency irrespective of the supply
voltage. A motor profile curve is programmed on the
IntelliTec control and provides a relationship between the
supply voltage and drive motor cutout amperage. Depending on the supply voltage, the control varies cutout amperage according to the motor profile. This feature is automatic
and does not need any configuring.

3.3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING CLEANING
AND SANITIZING
Soft serve machines require special consideration when it
comes to food safety and proper cleaning and sanitizing.
The following information specifically covers issues for
cleaning and sanitizing frozen dessert machines. This
information is meant to supplement a comprehensive food
safety program.
SOIL MATERIALS ASSOCIATED WITH FROZEN
DESSERT MACHINES
MILKFAT/BUTTERFAT – As components of ice-cream/
frozen custard mix, these soils will accumulate on the
interior surfaces of the machine and its parts. Fats are
difficult to remove and help attribute to milkstone buildup.
MILKSTONE – Is a white/gray film that forms on equipment and utensils that are exposed to dairy products.
These films will accumulate slowly on surfaces because of
ineffective cleaning, use of hard water, or both. Milkstone
is usually a porous deposit, which will harbor microbial
contaminants and eventually defy sanitizing efforts.
Once milkstone has formed, it is very difficult to remove.
Without using the correct product and procedure, it is
nearly impossible to remove a thick layer of milkstone.
(NOTE: general-purpose cleaners DO NOT remove
milkstone.) This can lead to high bacteria counts and a
food safety dilemma.
IT IS BEST TO CONTROL MILKSTONE ON A DAILY
BASIS BEFORE IT CAN BECOME A SIGNIFICANT FOOD
SAFETY PROBLEM.
In addition to food safety, milkstone can cause premature
wear to machine parts, which can add to costs for replacement parts or possibly more expensive repairs if worn
machine parts are not replaced once they have become
excessively worn.
IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLEANING
AND SANITIZING
CLEANING vs. SANITIZING
It is important to distinguish between cleaning and sanitiz-
ing. Although these terms may sound synonymous, they
are not. BOTH are required for adequate food safety and
proper machine maintenance.
CLEANING
·Is the removal of soil materials from a surface.
·Is a prerequisite for effective sanitizing.
NOTE
An UNCLEAN surface will harbor bacteria that can
defy sanitizing efforts.
Bacteria can develop and resist sanitizing efforts within a
layer of soil material (milkstone). Thorough cleaning procedures that involve milkstone removal are critical for
operators of frozen dessert machines.
SANITIZING
·Kills bacteria.
·Can be effective on clean surfaces only.
NOTE
Using a SANITIZER on an unclean surface will not
guarantee a clean and safe frozen dessert machine.
PROPER DAILY MAINTENANCE:
The Only Way to Assure Food Safety and Product Quality
Proper daily maintenance can involve a wide variety of
products and procedures. Overall, the products and procedures fall into three separate categories. (Please note
that this is a brief overview intended for informational
purposes only.)
1.CLEANING – This involves draining mix from the
freezing cylinder and rinsing the machine with
water. Next, a cleaner is run through the machine.
Then, the machine is disassembled and removable
parts are taken to the sink for cleaning.
2.MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Since most cleaners
do not have the ability to remove milkstone, the
use of a delimer becomes necessary. Although
this procedure may not be needed on a daily
basis, it will usually follow the cleaning procedure.
It requires letting a delimer solution soak in the
machine for an extended period. Individual parts
are also soaked in a deliming solution for an
extended period of time (more about delimers in
Additional Information).
3.SANITIZING – After the machine has been cleaned
and contains no milkstone, the machine is
reassembled. Then a FDA-approved sanitizing
solution is run through the machine to kill bacteria.
The machine is then ready for food preparation.
As a recommended cleaner and sanitizer for your frozen
dessert machine, STERA-SHEEN has proven to be one of
the best daily maintenance products for:
·CLEANING – Thorough removal of all solids
including butterfat and milk fat.
·MILKSTONE REMOVAL – Complete removal of
milkstone.

for food contact surfaces.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A delimer is a strong acid that has the ability to dissolve
milkstone. This type of chemical may become necessary
once high levels of milkstone have developed. While
these products are very effective for removing HIGH
levels of milkstone, they are not ideal for two reasons:
1.PRODUCT SAFETY – Strong acids are dangerous
chemicals. Carefully follow safety instructions
provided with delimer products.
