Technical Bulletin
1.4 Solid State High Limit Change
Henny Penny is using a dual thermocouple SSHL (solid-state high limit) system for all fryers starting in
2021. This change isnecessary tocomply with updated agency approval standards. Dual thermocouple
units are identified byorange, normally closed high limit reset switches. See Figure 1.for visual
differences. The dual thermocouple SSHL system isnot backwards compatible. Single thermocouple
SSHL parts arestill available forolder units.
Figure 1.
Training
There are many changes to the function of this high limit and parts associated with this system that
need to be understood before servicing.Online training for the dual thermocouple high limit system is
available on Cyber Café 24/7. Read the following documentation before servicing the unit.

Theory of Operation
The dual thermocouple SSHL (solid state high limit) shown in Figure 2, monitors
two J-type thermocouples. The cold junction of these thermocouples is connected
to terminals (D) and (E) and the hot junction is mounted at the heating element
(electric units) or burner tubes (gas units). If either the temperature of the
thermocouples exceeds the high limit set (trip) point as shown in Table 1, the
thermocouple circuit is open, or the delta (difference) between the two
thermocouples is out of range, the onboard relay (A) opens interrupting the 24VAC
safety circuit monitored by the main control panel. Once this safety circuit is
interrupted, the main control panel sounds and alert and displays an E-10 error. If
the high limit tripped because the set (trip) point was exceeded, after about 20
minutes when the vat cools, the high limit can be reset by pressing the reset
switch for 10 seconds. When pressed, the reset switch interrupts line voltage at
terminal (F).
Sequence of operation
1. Upon AC line voltage input from the normally closed reset switch at (F), the high limit control checks DC
millivolts at (D)(E) for each thermocouple. If a fault or overtemperature state is detected from the
thermocouples, relay (A) remains open and the red LED (B) flashes. If no fault detected at thermocouples,
relay (A) closes and the amber “In-range” LED (C) illuminates.
2. Main fryer control sends 24 VAC from left high limit wire to N.O. terminal at (G).
3. With the SSHL in its normal in-range closed state, 24 VAC returns to fryer main control panel via the right high
limit wire control. If voltage is not returned to the main control panel, the fryer stops heating and alert
sounds, and an E-10 error displays.
IMPORTANT:Some fryer models have two solid state high limit controls per vat such as the CFE, PXE and OXE
models. In this case, the SSHLs are wired in series and both must be closed for normal operation. The main
fryer control sends 24 VAC from the left high limit wire to the first SSHL which passes through a jumper wire to
the second SSHL and returns via the control right high limit wire.

Troubleshooting E-10 high limit not resetting
1. If the high limit trips and can’t be reset, make sure that they vat has had at least 20 minutes to cool. If 20
minutes have passed, verify that the correct reset switch is being pressed and is being held in for 10 seconds.
If the high limit still doesn’t reset, power down the controls so all LEDs on the main control panel are off. For
some fryers you can do this by turning off the main rocker switch. Other models will require the fryer to be
unplugged or the breaker turned off. Once power is disconnected from the fryer for about 15 seconds, re-
connect power or turn the rocker switch back to the ON position. If the E-10 error disappears (resetting the
high limit), then the rocker switch is faulty and needs to be replaced. However, this gets the customer frying
again while they wait for the reset switch to be replaced. If the high still doesn’t reset, then a service call is
needed. Make sure to take the correct high limit control, thermocouple and reset switch with you to the
location.
2. Open the cover for the high limit modules or lower the control and locate the module giving the E-10 Error.
Check the LEDs on the module and use table 6 to identify the fault. If the limit LED (B) is flashing and the In-
Range LED is on and the high limit won’t reset, then first ensure that both high thermocouples are firmly
connected. Each thermocouple has two pair of red and white wires. Ensure one pair is firmly connected at
terminal (D) and the other pair firmly connected at terminal (E). For each pair of wires, the white wire
connects to the positive terminal and red to the negative terminal. If the thermocouples are properly wired
and firmly connected test each of the two thermocouple using the J-type thermocouple chart and
thermocouple test procedure located here.
WARNING!Disconnect power to the fryer and use a needle nose pliers when removing wires otherwise
Electric shock or damage to wires may result. Replace the faulty thermocouple if one or both thermocouples
are open, shorted or consistently out of normal range. In the more unusual circumstance that no issues are
found with either thermocouple, or the reset switch, replace the high limit control.
Troubleshooting intermittent E-10 errors
1. Many times, intermittent E-10 errors are caused by neglect of the vat. If the Deep Clean / Clean Out procedure
is not performed regularly, carbon and other debris accumulate on the high limit thermocouple. If a Deep
Clean / Clean Out procedure hasn’t been performed recently, ensure that the customer perform this first
before a service visit is scheduled. Many times, this eliminates the intermittent E-10 errors. It also greatly
improves product quality. Also, if the vat is clean at the store and they experience intermittent high limit
tripping, then ensure that filtration is being performed when prompted. If filtration is skipped / bypassed,
breading and crumbs will accumulate in the bottom of the vat. If allowed to pile up and touch or cover the
high limit thermocouple or the heating element, the high limit will trip. After the vat cools it can be reset but
will trip again if crumbs are still present. If intermittent E-10 errors still occur, then a service call will be
necessary.
2. When at the location, ensure that the thermocouple is free from carbon build up and / or other debris. If so,
then start by checking the thermocouple connections at the high limit control that is causing the E-10 error.
Any loose connection at this module will cause an E-10 error so ensure all connections are firmly attached to
the correct terminals at the SSHL control. Ensure that both high thermocouples are firmly connected. Each
thermocouple has two pair of red and white wires. Ensure one pair is firmly connected at terminal (D) and the
other pair firmly connected at terminal (E). For each pair of wires, the white wire connects to the positive
terminal and red to the negative terminal. Also check connections at the reset switch.
Troubleshooting control detect loop
1. Troubleshoot the control detect loop to quickly see if there are issues with wiring or connections at the main
control panel or if the control is detecting the high limit circuit properly. To do this, lower main fryer control
panel. Leaving the heat control harness connected, find the two high limit circuit wires. Measure voltage from
each high limit wire to neutral and across the wires. The control is working properly if 24 VAC is present at the
left high limit wire. If the SSHL control relay (A) is closed, voltage returns on the right high limit wire.
•0 VAC across high limit wires – High limit circuit closed (normal)
•24 VAC across high limit wires – High limit circuit open (tripped)

2. Limit and In-Range status LEDs are included on the dual thermocouple solid state high limit. Table 3 provides a
definition for using the LEDs as diagnostic indicators relating to the high limit status and possible causes.
3. If the fryer has two solid state high limit controls per vat, either SSHL control may be open causing the fryer
main control panel to display an E-10 error. Use voltage measurements and the SSHL LED indicators to
determine which high limit control relay (A) is open.
Other E-10 high limit issues
See Table 6 LED status for other possible errors and possible causes.
Additional dual thermocouple high limit changes for LVE, GVE, KVE, MVE, LVG and EEG
LVG 20X / EEG 2XX and 16x
Split vat LVG and EEG now have two high limit reset switches. There is one for the left vat and one for the right vat.
Full vat units have a single high limit reset switch.

The following are additional differences as seen for full and split vat units.
•Full vat units continue to use the same J-type thermocouples: one mounted on the left element of the
assembly and the other mounted on the right element of the assembly. The part number for the
replacement high limit thermocouple and the heating element remains the same for units built before
December 2020 and units built from December 2020 and after. However, the high limit control and reset
switch part numbers change. Since the new high limit control is a dual thermocouple control only a single
high limit control is needed for full vat units: one thermocouple is wired to (D) and the other to (E) in
Figure 2. Units built prior to December 2020 with single thermocouple high limits required two controls.
•Split vat units use a dual J-type thermocouple assembly mounted to the heating element. The
replacement high limit thermocouple, high limit control, reset switch and the heating element for split vat
units are new. The configuration for the high limit reset switch bank is also new since a separate reset
switch is now required for each split vat. Below are some examples of high limit reset switch
configurations:
