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 consis-
tent, high-quality food product, flex time will adjust the actual cook time taking into considera-
tion the temperature variation due to load size, initial product temperature, product moisture con-
tent, 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 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.
