7.3 Thermatron Controller Calibration

If the Thermatron controller requires adjustment, do the following:

1.Set the controller dial to the desired oil temperature and allow the oil or shortening temperature to stabilize.

2.When oil temperature reaches setpoint (burners will cycle on and off four times, indicating setpoint temperature has been reached), check the temperature with a high-quality immersion thermometer. Insert the thermometer within 2-inches of the probe-bulb cover plate.

3.Loosen the knob setscrew and rotate the knob to the correct temperature setting on the Thermatron faceplate.

4.Check the temperature again with a high-quality immersion thermometer to confirm that the setting is correct.

5.Re-tighten the knob setscrew at the calibrated position.
