Machine Errors

The control displays and logs errors as they occur.

When the control senses the error condition, the audit

counter for that error increases by one. The control

saves the time and date of the last eight (8) errors that

have occurred. Following is a list of possible errors:

PDA Communications Error

These errors may occur during communications.

When an error occurs, the display indicates the error

message on the control for a few seconds. When a

PDA communication error occurs, the audit counter

Total Bad IR Communications is incremented, the

hour, date, and year of the event are saved, and the

error code is saved. An active machine cycle is not

affected when there is an error during PDA

communications and this error information is not

stored in the Last Eight Alarms Menu.

Open Thermistor Error

Any time the control senses a temperature less than 0

°F after the first three minutes of an active cycle, the

control will go to Cool Down, display this error

message, and then turn on the audio signal. The

control will continue to display the error message until

any of the keypads are pressed, the Cool Down portion

of the cycle has ended, and the temperature reading is

greater than 0°F. Press any keypad to stop audio

signal. Once all three occur, the control will return to

the Idle Mode. This error will cause the corresponding

Open Thermistor Audit Counter to be incremented and

is saved in the Last Eight Alarms Menu.

Shorted Thermistor Error

Any time the control senses a temperature greater than

210 + 4 °F during an active cycle, the control will

enter the Cool Down portion of the cycle, display this

error message, and turn on the audio signal. The

control will continue to display the error message until

any of the keypads are pressed, the Cool Down portion

of the cycle has ended, and the temperature reading is

less than 210 °F. Press any keypad to stop audio signal.

Once all three occur, the control will return to the Idle

Mode. This error will cause the corresponding Shorted

Thermistor Error Audit Counter to be incremented and

is saved in the Last Eight Alarms Menu.

Stove and Cabinet Limit Errors

There are up to two Stove Limit thermostats and one

Cabinet Limit thermostat on the machine. While the

heat relay is on, if the stove temperature or cabinet

temperature reaches the high temperature for the

particular limit thermostat, the heater will turn off

automatically and the control will continue the cycle

with no heat until the limit thermostat resets. Once the

control reaches the End of Cycle the control will

display the appropriate error message, if programmed

to do so, and sound the audio signal. The control will

continue displaying the error message until the control

returns to Idle mode.
The control will increment the appropriate stove or

cabinet error counter and record the error in the Last

Eight Alarms Menu.

NOTE: On some models the stove and cabinet limit

thermostats need to be manually reset. The

remainder of the cycle will be run with no heat. On

these models, the thermostat(s) must be reset prior

to cycling power or the control will return back to

Error Mode.
