Operating Instructions

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 Appliance Type

A specific type of appliance; i.e., gas, electric or generic can be programmed into the controller.

Energy Saving Manual Setback

Setback, an energy-saving feature, will lower the temperature of the oil after a predetermined
amount of inactive time (1 to 59 minutes). Temperature is programmable from 200-300°F (93.3-

148.8°C). Enter setback mode by pressing the SETBACK key. The controller will display COOL
or SETBACK and will control the appliance to the programmed setback temperature.

Fahrenheit or Celsius Temperature Display

The controller can be configured to display the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius
(accessible through System Programming mode).

Programmable (FAST.Flex)TM Timing Mode

Flex or straight timing can be configured for each stage on each product key. To insure consis­tent, high-quality food product, flex time will adjust the actual cook time taking into considera­tion the temperature variation due to load size, initial product temperature, product moisture con­tent, and other factors affecting the cook cycle. If cooking by straight time, the controller will
cook only for the specified time without adjusting for these variances.

Programmable Filter/Polish Mode

To aid in extending the life of your oil, this Meridian Controller will alert the operator at pre­programmed times or number of products cooked when it is time to filter the oil by displaying
the FILTER prompt. If the prompt is flashing, cooking can still be performed. If the prompt is
solid, the filter procedure must be executed. A filter can also manually be forced at any time of
the day.

Programmable Filter Lockout Cycle Count

Ensure good-tasting food is always served to your customers by requiring the oil be filtered after

“x” amount of times. Any product key with Filter Lockout programmed will cease to operate

until the oil is filtered. A filter lockout cycle count (valid range is 0 to 99) can be programmed
for each product key. To disable filter lockout, enter 0 for the filter lockout count.

Programmable Global Filter Lockout

A single filter lockout cycle count can be programmed to apply globally to all product keys.

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.

Operating Instructions

Programmable Hold Times

Product key hold times can be programmed to track product quality through a specified holding
period. Hold time countdown begins as soon as the cook cycle is complete. The controller 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 cook time remaining will be shown in the display. Pressing and
hold the SCAN key allows you to view each active product’s remaining cook time.

Melt Cycle

If the vat temperature is below the Melt Limit Temperature and the controller is ON, it will con­trol the melting of the oil.

Programmable Operating Mode

The controller can be programmed to operate as either a controller or timer.

Programmable Stage Temperatures

Cook temperatures for each stage on each product key can be programmed. The valid tempera­ture range is 200°F to 400°F (93.3°C to 204.4°).

Programmable Stage Times

Cook times for each stage on each product key can be programmed. The controller is program­mable in minutes (up to 99) and seconds (up to 59) and allows up to ten stages per product key.

Note: Multiple cook starts are not allowed if a product key has more than one stage pro­grammed.

Operating the
Controller

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 controller 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 controller will start counting toward 0:00.

Holding Timers

If the controller is programmed with holding times, they will automatically
start counting upon expiration of the cooking cycle.

When there are active hold times, the HOLD indicator light will be lit.

To View All Active Hold Times, press and hold the HOLD key. Upon expira­tion, the timer will display HOLD and pulse with an audible tone.

To Cancel, press the HOLD key.
