VIII. THE EPICON CONTROL
VIII. i - TIME ZONES:
When chilling without probes the epicon control allows for
operation by an operator determined time. In the TIME
program there are three time zones provided which make
multi-batching possible.
Selecting a time zone permits entry of both
a product and/or user name, just as is done
when using probes.
The zones are not specific to any location or number of pans
in the chiller. The operator should determine how best to
utilize these, for example Zone 1 = Top, Zone 2 = Middle, etc.
VIII. j - USER NAMES:
USER (i.e. operator) names can be
programmed into the chiller memory using
the TOOLBOX. If a user name is selected
at the beginning of a chill cycle it will appear under the
USER icon on the RUN SCREEN, as well as on any
record or label printouts for that chill cycle.
If no USER name is selected at the beginning of a chill cycle
NO USER will appear under the USER icon on the RUN
SCREEN, as well as on any record or label printouts for
that chill cycle.
At the end of the chill cycle a USER name may be entered
prior to printing by pressing DONE and then the space marked
BLANK next to user.
VIII. k - PRODUCT NAMES:
PRODUCT names can be programmed into
the chiller memory using the TOOLBOX. If
a product name is selected at the beginning of a chill
cycle it will appear under the PRODUCT icon on the RUN
SCREEN, as well as on any record or label printouts for
that chill cycle.
If no PRODUCT name is selected at the beginning of a chill
cycle NO PRODUCT will appear under the PRODUCT icon
on the RUN SCREEN, as well as on any record or label
printouts for that chill cycle.
At the end of the chill cycle a PRODUCT name may be
entered prior to printing by pressing DONE and then the
space marked BLANK next to FOOD PRODUCT.
VIII. l - RECORD & LABEL PRINTERS:
At the end of any chill cycle the epicon control allows the
operator to print cycle data and/or print an adhesive label for
the product container (on models equipped with the optional
label printer). The label printer provides a condensed "LABEL"
type of report with both PRODUCT and USER information.
IX. OPERATION
IX. a - BASIC OPERATION - AUTO:
Begin by pressing AUTO from the idle screen or simply
insert a probe into hot product. Upon sensing hot product,
the control will begin a 30-second count down to auto-start,
at which time the chiller will begin a chill cycle in standard
mode with a default end point of 37°F.
NOTE: Food must be above 90°F in order to AUTO start.
Before start, the operator can press any active probe in order
to add their name, and/or the product name, to the cycle data.
When adding probes to a chill cycle already in process simply
place any available probe into hot product above 90°F and
these will be automatically added. Please note however that
when doing so the USER and PRODUCT names cannot be
added until cycle's end.
IX. b - BASIC OPERATION - MANUAL:
MANUAL mode allows adjustments to be made to all chilling
parameters, thus customizing the cycle to best suit the product
and/or process.
To start a chill cycle using MANUAL mode...
1) Begin by pressing MANUAL from the idle screen.
2) If all displayed parameters are OK press any active
PROBE (indicated by a temperature displayed below
highlighted probe icon) to enter the PRODUCT and USER
names and either:
a- enter the PRODUCT and USER names, or...
b- press SKIP for both PRODUCT and USER.
3) Press START to begin a chill cycle using the factory
default parameters.
