Bunn LCR-3 BIB Empty Lockout Feature, Brew Temperature Lockout Feature, Energy Saver Mode

BIB Empty Lockout Feature

The dispenser can be set to not dispense product when the concentrate BIB is empty. To enable this feature, first calibrate the Empty BIB Threshold (refer to Field Calibrating the Empty BIB Warning). Then enable the BIB Empty Lockout feature (refer to the BIB Empty Lockout menu in Programming the Dispenser). The dispenser will now Lockout dispensing and display “RIGHT, MIDDLE or LEFT BIB EMPTY – Replace Now!”. Once the BIB has been replaced, PRIME the concentrate line (refer to Priming the Concentrate Lines) to clear the Empty BIB warning. NOTE: If the BIB Empty warning reappears, repeat the Priming operation a second time to insure the concentrate is flowing properly.

Brew Temperature Lockout Feature

The dispenser can be set to not dispense product if the hot water is not up to the preset READY temperature. To enable this feature, set the READY temperature to the minimum allowable dispense temperature. Then enable the Brew Lockout feature, refer to READY TEMP and BREW LOCKOUT, in Programming the Dispenser. The dispenser will display “HEATING – Please Wait” and not allow dispensing until the tank temperature reaches the preset READY temperature.

Energy Saver Mode

The LCR-3 HV can be set to turn off or lower the temperature when not in use. This feature allows the user to enable the Energy Saver Mode, set the Idle Time (length of time the dispenser is inactive before the Energy Saver Mode is activated) and choose between shutting the tank heaters OFF or holding the tank at 140° F (60° C) for faster recovery, (refer to Programming the Dispenser). When enabled, the dispenser will automatically go into the Energy Saver Mode after a predetermined time of inactivity, (Idle Time). When in this Mode the display will show “EnergySaver Mode / Press Any Switch.”

NOTE: Activating any switch on the control panel will cancel the Energy Saver Mode and reset the Idle Timer. Once the Energy Saver Mode is cancelled, the dispenser will display “Unit Re-heating / E-Saver Mode On” and not dispense product until the water temperature has reached the normal Tank Temperature. Once the normal Tank Temp is reached, the dispenser will revert to typical operation and displays.

Optional 2- Product Operation

The LCR-3 HV can be configured to deliver only two coffee products for applications where additional volume a given product is needed. This feature allows the operator to load the same concentrate into the Left & Middle position, thus doubling the amount of product that can be dispensed - before having to replace the concentrate. The dispenser will automatically switch from one concentrate container to the other when a BIB Empty threshold is exceeded. The LCD will display “(LF or MID) BIB EMPTY - Replace Soon” to indicate that BIB is empty.

To enable this feature, first calibrate the Empty BIB Threshold (refer to Field Calibrating the Empty BIB Warning). Then select (2) in the 2 or 3 PRODUCTS? menu screen, (refer to Programming the Dispenser).

NOTE: If the operator feels the unit is waiting too long to switch over to the other BIB (i.e. too much clear water during the switch over) - increase the Empty BIB threshold and retest. Repeat this process until you are satisfied that the original BIB is nearly empty and switch over time is acceptable.

The operator can choose to replace the empty BIB right away or wait until the second BIB is empty. The dispenser will continue to switch from one BIB to the other, until it gets two BIB Empty warnings in a row. The dispenser will then shut down and display “BIB EMPTY - Replace Now!” indicating that both BIB’s are empty. Replace the BIB’s and PRIME the concentrate line (refer to Priming the Concentrate Lines) to clear the BIB Empty warning. If the BIB Empty warning reappears, repeat the Priming operation a second time to insure the concentrate is flowing properly.

NOTE: The BIB EMPTY LOCKOUT feature is automatically enabled when this feature is selected.
