Features
Explained
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 pre-
determined 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 pro-
grammed 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 tak-
ing 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 pre-programmed 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 per-
formed. 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.

Features

Programmable Hold Times
Product key hold times can be programmed to track product quality through a spec-
ified 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 Pressure Valve
The pressure valve state for each stage on each product key can be programmed. The
valve can be open or closed.
Note: The valve is normally open when not cooking.
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.

tion of the software described

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 pro-
grammed.
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.

Boil Mode
CAUTION: THE USER MUST CONSULT AND FOLLOW THE APPLIANCE
MANUFACTURER’S GUIDELINES FOR CLEANING AND BOILING OF
THE FRY VATS. If your fryer manufacturer recommends this procedure, the boil
function accurately maintains the fryer temperature at 190°F (88°C) to assist in the
cleaning of fry vats. To start the boil process, turn the appliance OFF. Empty the fry vat
of oil. Once the vat is emptied of oil and refilled with cold water, the controller and
fryer may now go into boil mode.
NOTE: The fry vat will maintain a temperature of
190°F (88°C) to allow the boil function to be per-
formed.
To Enter Boil Mode: Press and hold the P key for 3 sec-
onds. PROGRAM will be displayed.
Press the up or down arrow keys until BOIL is displayed,
then press the P key. The feature is now activated and
BOIL will be displayed.
To Exit Boil Mode, press and hold the P key for 3 sec-
onds. PROGRAM will be displayed.
Press the up or down arrow keys until BOIL is displayed,
then press the P key. This will exit you from the boil
mode. If the controller has an ON/OFF key, you can also
exit by pressing OFF and then ON.
Turn the appliance OFF. The controller will no longer
display BOIL. Empty the water from the vat and wipe
away all remaining water. Once dry, refill the vat with
oil.
The fry vat must be
below a temperature
of 255°F (124°C) to
enter the boil mode.
CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
CAUTION: Refill the vat with oil ONLY when it is completely dry.
Fill Mode
If the controller is programmed for filter lockout, FILTER
will appear in the display after the pre-programmed
number of cook cycles allowed. The controller will stop
operating until the fryer is filtered. After filtering, the
display will read FILL. At this time, the fryer MUST be
refilled with oil. When this step is complete, press
ENTER to resume normal operations.

Free Program for Service Exchanges
FAST provides an Exchange Program, at no extra cost, if a unit should
fail. In the event of failure, you have the option of (1) receiving a
replacement product from our factory, freight prepaid; (2) exchang-
ing the failed product for a replacement product at one of our
authorized local service centers; or (3) selecting on-site repair or
replacement of the failed unit by one of our authorized local service
centers.
To take advantage of this program, simply call our toll-free customer
service number, 1-800-243-9271. If you elect to receive an exchange
unit from the factory, a replacement unit will be sent immediately.
Upon receipt of the replacement unit, simply return the failed unit to
the factory, freight prepaid, using the same carton and packing mate-
rial in which the replacement unit was shipped. The unit will be
replaced free of charge, if still under warranty, and if the product
shows no evidence of abuse or alteration. If the unit is not under war-
ranty, you will pay repair charges and shipping costs to and from the
factory. If you should elect on-site repair and the unit is under war-
ranty, you will not be required to pay the costs of reasonable on-site
labor, but will be required to pay the service agency’s travel charges
to and from the on-site location.
Any minor adjustment or calibration and any labor costs for the
replacement of probes will be made at your expense.
The FAST Exchange Program is available to any FAST Domestic
Customer whose account is current, and applies to all FAST Timers,
Computers and Controllers.
Warranty
FAST provides a limited one-year warranty (optional two-year and life-
time) for its products. Warranty replacement units are available. A
copy of the exact provisions of this warranty and the other terms and
conditions of sale are available upon request.
