45 SERIES INTERFACE BOARD

LED DIAGNOSTIC LIGHTS

Every board contains one heat relay (K3), and may contain two basket lift relays (K1 and K2). As

shipped from the factory, fryers with bell crank basket lifts will have relays K1, K2, and K3. All

other factory-original fryers will have boards with only relay K3.

THERMOSTATS AND TEMPERATURE PROBES

Different types of thermostats are used in 45 Series fryers, depending on the fryers’ configuration.

Fryers equipped with Thermostat Controls have an adjustable controlling (operating) thermostat.

The temperature at which the thermostat opens and closes is adjusted by physically changing the set-

ting of the thermostat itself by means of an attached knob. When new, the Fenwal controlling ther-

mostat used in 45 Series fryers is sensitive to one-degree changes in temperature.

CAUTION

Fenwal thermostats are used in a number of Frymaster products. The thermostat for

the 45 Series is 4 inches long. Do not use 3-inch Fenwal thermostats in 45 Series

fryers.

Fryers equipped with all other type controls have a temperature probe. In these units, the probe

resistance varies directly with the temperature. That is, as the temperature rises, so does resistance

at a rate of approximately 2 ohms for every 1º (F or C). Circuitry in the controller monitors the probe

resistance and controls burner firing when the resistance exceeds or falls below programmed

temperatures (setpoints). The temperatures are programmed by means of a keypad on the face of the

controller.

All 45 Series fryers are equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event that the fryer fails to

properly control the oil temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer from overheating to

the flash point. The high-limit thermostat acts as a normally closed power switch that opens when
