ignition by measuring the flow of microamps through the flame. If the burner does not light (or is extinguished), current to the ignition module is cut, the gas valve closes, and the ignition module “locks out” until the power switch is turned off and then back on. A probe monitors the temperature in the frypot. When the programmed setpoint temperature is reached, resistance in the probe causes the heat cycle circuitry in the computer to cut off current flow through the heat relay. This in turn cuts off the 24 VAC to the ignition module, causing the gas valve to close.

1.3Interface Board

All fryers in this series have an interface board located in the component box behind the control panel. The interface board provides a link between the computer and the fryer’s individual components without requiring excessive wiring, and allows the computer to execute commands from one central point.

K2 and K3 are double-pole-double throw (DPDT) relays that supply 24VAC to the ignition and gas valve circuits, as well as 120VAC to the blower motor. The relays on this board plug into sockets. If a relay fails, that relay can be replaced.

LEDs (labeled D1 through D7) are arrayed around the board to assist in troubleshooting.
