The indicator light in the selector will illuminate and the drum will begin to rotate, transferring fries from
the hopper to the dispensing chute. When the prescribed weight has been transferred, drum rotation will
cease.
12. Insert an empty basket all the way to the rear of the dispensing chamber. The dispensing chute door will
open, dropping the fries into the basket. When the chute is empty, the door will close and the unit will
begin to transfer another batch of fries into the chute.
CAUTION
The dispensing of fries into a basket is initiated by an inductive proximity switch located in the
dispensing well. The proximity switch activates only when it senses a metallic mass greater than a
certain size (e.g., an inserted basket). Thus, it will not be activated by the operator’s hand, a cleaning
cloth, or any other non-metallic object. However, a ring, watch or some other type of metal could
initiate a dispense cycle if inserted into the switch detection area.
NOTE: Built-in logic recognizes the removal and replacement of the basket. Once a dispense cycle has been
completed, another basket may be inserted into the dispense well. As soon as the fries in the chute reach the
specified weight, the unit will immediately dispense them into the waiting basket. The unit will NOT initiate
another dispense cycle if the full basket is not removed and replaced, nor will it initiate another dispense cy-
cle if there is no basket in the dispense well.
To change the batch weight, press another of the numbered selectors before the chute is emptied. If the
weight is increased, fries will be dispensed until the new weight is attained. If the batch weight is reduced,
the change will take effect with the next cycle after the dispensing chute is emptied.
If the dispensing chute does not fill within 30 seconds, the CHECK HOPPER indicator
in the
middle of the control panel will begin to blink and drum rotation will stop. Check the hopper to see if
it is empty. If it is empty, reload the hopper then press the PROGRAM Switch once to place the unit
back into operation. If the hopper appears to contain plenty of fries, the fries have probably “bridged”
(i.e., stuck together to form an arch over the drum). Redistribute the fries then press the PROGRAM
Switch once to place the unit back into operation.
2.4 Programming the Batch Weight Selectors
The four Batch Weight Selectors in your SinBaD are factory programmed with four standard batch weights
(see page 2-3). If desired, they can be reprogrammed to dispense batch weights ranging from a minimum of
.38 lb/.23 kg up to a maximum of 2¼ lbs/1 kg.
CAUTION
Programming the unit for weights less than .38 lb/.23 kg will result in erratic batch weights.
The PROGRAMMING mode can only be entered when the unit is in STANDBY mode. To enter the
STANDBY mode, press the RUN Switch once. Verify that the indicator light in the Switch is out. If not,
press the RUN Switch again.
1. Remove the hopper assembly from the unit. NOTE: If the hopper is not empty, refer to Section 3.1 for
instructions on emptying the hopper.
2. Press the PROGRAM Switch once to enter the PROGRAMMING mode. The indicator light in the
switch will blink. Press BATCH WEIGHT Selector 1 four times. The indicator lights in each of the
selectors will light in sequence until all four are lit, at which time the indicator in the PROGRAM Switch
will stop blinking and the indicator in the CLEAN Switch will blink.
