TAGOUT PROCEDURES, ATTACH TEST EQUIPMENT AND REAPPLY POWER TO TEST.

BLOWER AIR PRESSURE

ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the blower air pressure at the gas combination manifold pressure tap. Turn the gas valve off. Remove pipe plug from pressure tap on the outlet side of the gas combination valve and install a gas manometer.

The air pressure should be 0.35"W.C. (0.09 kPa) to

0.4"W.C. (1 kPa). If the reading is not correct adjust blower speed control adjustment screw clockwise to increase and counter-clockwise to decrease.

AIR PRESSURE SWITCH

ADJUSTMENT

Blower air pressure adjustment must be performed before proceeding with this procedure.

The air pressure switch senses the pressure level produced by the blower for combustion. When the pressure is sufficient, the switch closes and supplies power to the ignition control module. The gas ignition sequence starts to light the gas pilot and then main burner. If gas pilot is not lighting (valve not energized), the ignition control module may not be receiving power, assuming the minimum water level is satisfied.

Check the air pressure switch operation then adjust if necessary as outlined in the procedure below.

1.

Turn the power switch off.

2.

Remove the front panel from the cabinet base.

A.

Inspect the air intake to the blower for debris build up and clogging.

1) If debris is found, clean it away from the air intake.

B.

Spark Ignition Control Test

AUTOMATIC IGNITION SYSTEMS

When the main power switch is turned on and the water level is above LLCO, the ignition control module is energized with 24 volts between terminals five and six. High voltage is sent from terminal nine to the spark electrode and an output of 24 volts is sent from terminals two and three to the pilot coil in the combination valve, allowing gas to flow to the pilot. The sparking will continue for 90 seconds or until the flame sensor has confirmed that an adequate pilot flame is present.

The ignition control module and ignition control module transformer are located in the electronics enclosure behind the generator base front cover.

Once the pilot flame is confirmed, a 24 volt output from terminal one will be sent to the gas combination control valve.

COOKING CYCLE TEST

During a cooking cycle, the gas heating system will cycle on and off as necessary to maintain steam pressure in the generator. When the steam pressure in the steam generator reaches 4 psi for the first time after machine is switched on, the steam header pressure relay latches on and supplies power to compartment controls. Ready light will illuminate

(header pressure relay remains latched until the machine is switched off).

PROBE INSPECTION

It is recommended that the generator be thoroughly inspected for excessive scale and lime build-up on a quarterly basis. In hard water areas or for units heavily used, a shorter interval should be used. This inspection consists of the following:

Drain Plug - Remove clean-out port plug to check for scale.

Probe A check of lime build-up on the water level probe assembly.

Controls A check of all generator controls, including the pressure switches.

Test operation of the cooking compartment controls.

1.

With both timer knobs at the off position, open the compartment doors.

2.

Observe that no steam has entered the cooking compartments.

3.

Close the doors.

4.

Set both timer knobs at 2 minutes.

5.

Confirm that the ready lights go off, the cooking lights come on, and steam begins to enter the compartments.

6.

After one minute, open both doors.

7.

Observe that steam has ceased to enter each compartment, cooking lights go back to ready, and one minute is remaining on each cook timer.

8.

Close the doors.

9.

Confirm that steam delivery and cook timing resume.


C24GA SERIES CONVECTION STEAMERS - ELECTRICAL OPERATION

ELECTRICAL OPERATION

WATER LEVEL CONTROLS

Low Level Cut-Off and Differential Control

The steamer is equipped with three water level sensing probes (high, low and low level cut-off) and a single water level control board. The water level control board performs two functions:

1.

Provide low level cut-off protection to shut off the heat source in case the water level drops below the low level cut-off (LLCO) probe.

2.

Perform as a differential level control to maintain the water level between the low and high water level probes.

The input voltage (120VAC) is applied across terminals 11 and 12 of the Water Level Control (WLC). This is applied to the primary of the transformer. On one side of the transformer secondary power is provided to the control by a series path through chassis ground

(terminal 10). The other side of the transformer secondary (12VAC) is attached to the probe that directs power to the other side of the internal relays

(LLCO, HL, and ILR). As water enters the generator, it becomes part of the water level control’s circuit.

When the water level in the generator reaches a probe, that circuit is completed.

The inverse latching relay (ILR) of the board is deenergized, leaving the ILR-1 (N.O.) and ILR-2 (N.C.).

When the main power switch is turned on, power is supplied to the water level control (WLC) board which energizes the high level (HL) relay and illuminates the

HL relay LED. With the HL-3 contacts closed, the generator fill solenoid is energized and water begins filling the generator.

When the water level reaches the low level cut-off

(LLCO) probe, the LLCO relay is energized and illuminates the LLCO LED. With the LLCO-2 contacts closed the heat source is then energized. The LLCO relay will remain energized and its LED will stay lit until the water level in the generator drops below the

LLCO probe.

When the water level reaches the low level (LL) probe, power to terminal 2 on the WLC board is present but no switching occurs.

After the water level reaches the high level (HL) probe, the inverse latching relay on the board is energized and locked through the low level probe (LL) and ILR-1 contacts. With ILR-2 contacts open, this de-energizes the HL relay and the HL LED goes out. With the HL-3 contacts open, the generator fill solenoid is deenergized, stopping the flow of water into the generator.

When the water level drops below the low level (LL) probe, power is removed from the inverse latching relay, the HL relay energizes through ILR-2, and HL contacts change state. The fill solenoid is energized through HL-3 to refill the generator and the HL LED is lit. The HL relay and LED will toggle on and off during a cooking cycle as needed.

COMPONENT LOCATION

CABINET BASE GENERATOR



COMPONENT FUNCTION

CABINET BASE GENERATOR

Water Level Control and

Level Sensing Probes................... The Water Level Control circuit board and Level Sensing Probe Assembly allow water to enter the generator to fill and maintain the proper water level.

These probes will also shut off the heat source to the generator if the water level drops too low.

The water level control works by using three different probe lengths to monitor the water level. The probes consist of a high level (HL), low level (LL), and low water cut-off (LLCO) probe. The level sensing probes may easily be removed to inspect for lime build up. As a rule, the condition of these devices will indicate the overall water condition of the generator. Clean the probes, if necessary.

Generator Fast Fill

Solenoid Valve............................. The Generator Fast Fill Solenoid Valve is located on the right side of the base and admits water at rate of 3.7 GPM to the generator when demanded by the water level control to maintain the correct water level in the generator.

Generator Slow Fill

Solenoid Valve............................. The Generator Slow (Trickle) Fill Solenoid Valve is located on the right side of the base and admits water to the generator at a rate of 0.25 GPM when demanded by the water level control to maintain the correct water level in the generator.

The output of the Fast Fill and Slow Fill valves are connected in a “Y” to provide a single feed to the generator.

Cold Water Condenser (CWC)

Solenoid Valve............................. The Cold Water Condenser (CWC) Solenoid Valve allows cold water to flow into the generator drain to condense steam and cool the hot water before it is discharged into the drain.

Cavity Cold Water

Solenoid Valve............................. The Cavity Cold Water Solenoid Valve allows cold water to flow into the cavity drain and cool the hot water before it is discharged into the drain.

Operating Pressure Switch........... The Pressure Switch is located on the front upper right corner of the generator and is accessible through the left side panel. This switch controls generator pressure between prescribed limits by turning the heat source on and off.

Drain Solenoid Valve.................... The Drain Solenoid Valve (Drain Valve) is located on the right side of the base and is plumbed into the drain pipe of the generator. The generator will automatically drain for 1000 seconds when power is turned off by using a normally closed solenoid valve. Daily generator draining is essential to proper operation and component life by removing sediment and scalants that may be lodged in the chamber of the generator.

Strainers....................................... Strainers are used in the water inlet line to prevent foreign matter from becoming lodged in the fill or cold water condenser solenoid valves and to keep unwanted particles out of the system. Strainers are also located in the steam line and drain line.

Pressure Gauge

(If applicable)................................The Pressure Gauge is located on the upper right front of the base and indicates generator steam pressure.

Cold Water Thermostat................. The Cold Water Thermostat is located on the lower right side of the base and maintains drain temperature below 140°F by controlling the drain CWC solenoid.



Hold Thermostat........................... The Hold Thermostat energizes the Generator Slow Fill Solenoid Valve when generator temperature reaches the non-adjustable setpoint at 190°F.

Drain............................................. The Drain is located on the lower right of the base and removes steam condensate and water from cooking compartments and generator.

Metal Fiber Main Burner............... The Metal Fiber Main Burner is accessible from the front. This burner heats the water in the generator to generate steam.

Gas Combination Control Valve.... The Gas Combination Control Valve is part of the Burner Assembly and is a gas solenoid that opens to allow gas flow when a call for heat is made and that also regulates the manifold gas pressure.

Blower Motor................................ The Blower Motor is part of the Burner Assembly and provides airflow for the metal fiber burner. The blower is accessible through the front of the base.

Blower Air Pressure Switch.......... The Blower Air Pressure Switch is part of the Burner Assembly and closes at

0.4" W.C. to apply operating voltage to the ignition module.

Gas Orifice.................................... The Gas Orifice is part of the Blower Assembly and controls the flow of gas to the burner.

Ignition Control Module................ The Ignition Control Module controls the ignition of the gas pilot and main burner.

24 VAC Transformer.......................The 24 VAC Transformer reduces the input 120 VAC to the 24 VAC required by the Ignition Module.

Super Heater Assembly.................The Super Heater Assembly (Heat Exchanger) is located at the rear of the base surrounding the flue and is used to raise the temperature of the steam by passing the steam around the flue assembly.

Drain Valve Timer......................... The Drain Valve Timer turns on for 1000 seconds when Power On/Off Switch is set to off position to operate the Drain Solenoid.

5 PSI Pressure Relief Valve.......... The 5 psi Pressure Relief Valve opens if the generator pressure exceeds 5 psi to prevent further pressure rise.



COMPONENT LOCATION




COMPONENT FUNCTION


General

The upper section of the steamer consists of two separate cooking compartments. Each compartment functions independently with its own set of controls. Power is supplied to the controls only after the steam pressure rises above 4 psi to energize the compartment latching relay. The relay remains energized as long as Main Power Switch is on.

Ready Light (Green)......................When the Green Ready Light is lit, it indicates steamer is ready to cook.

Cooking Light (Red)...................... When the Red Cooking Light is lit, it indicates steamer is in a cooking cycle.

Cooking Timer.............................. The Cooking Timer is used to set desired cooking cycle time between 0 – 60 minutes. When a timer is set, the steam supply solenoid valve is energized to allow steam into the cooking compartment, but only after the generator has reached its operating pressure. Also, the timer energizes the buzzer when time expires. The timer can be set to the constant steam position. This allows steam to flow into the cooking compartment continuously.

Power On/Off Switch.................... The Power On/Off Switch located on the lower compartment control panel, supplies power to the controls when in the on position, and causes the steam generating process to start in the generator.

Power Indicator Light................... The Power Indicator Light, located to the left of the Power On/Off Switch, is illuminated when the Power On/Off Switch is in the on position.

Buzzer...........................................The Buzzer signals the end of a cook cycle and must be turned off manually.

Door Switch.................................. The Door Switch removes electrical power to the timer.

Steam Solenoid Valve.................. The Steam Solenoid Valve is normally closed, and when energized, opens to allow steam into the cooking compartment.

Steam Supply Header................... The Steam Supply Header is the main steam supply line from the generator for each cooking compartment. The header supplies steam up to the steam solenoid valve.


C24GA SERIES CONVECTION STEAMERS - TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

General

The following paragraphs provide descriptive information of the most common troubles that can occur in the steamer. The Troubleshooting Chart provides a list of other typical fault conditions. The left-hand column of the table lists typical symptoms and the right-hand column lists probable causes and the suggested remedies.

Water Not Being Supplied to Generator

Turn the steamer on. Check that water supply is available to the steamer. After approximately 10 minutes, if no water is present, then check for a problem with the water solenoid valve or water level control probe.

Scalants may be covering the water level control probe giving a false indication of a sufficient water level in the generator. Detach, remove and thoroughly clean the water level probe assembly to remove scalants and lime build-up. This condition indicates extremely poor water quality being supplied to the generator and/or generator clean out and deliming has not been performed. The water condition must be cleared up immediately with a proper water conditioner to avoid further problems with the steamer. Replace the water level probes and canister assembly. Water may be draining through an open generator solenoid valve as quickly as it’s fed to the generator. Particles of scale trapped in the generator solenoid valve seat may prevent the valve from closing.

Pilot Or Main Burner Will Not Light

Check blower air pressure, air pressure switch adjustment, pilot burner adjustment, gas inlet and manifold pressures. The pilot burner orifice should be a 1/8" hole.

Drain Solenoid Valve Does Not Drain

The drain solenoid valve is normally closed when the main power switch is in the on position. When the main power switch is set to off, the solenoid valve is energized and the generator drain valve opens for 1000 seconds.

Water contained in the generator, being under pressure, should be draining through this valve and be noticeable exhausting out the steamer drain.

If the drain operation appears to function sluggishly or not at all, scalants may be lodged in the drain pipe and/ or the valve. Disconnect the drain solenoid valve from the drain line and inspect both the valve and the drain pipe fixed to the generator. If considerable scalants or lime build-up is apparent, then not only the drain solenoid valve, but also the generator and water level control must be thoroughly cleaned.

Water Accumulating in Compartment

Water accumulation on the bottom of the cooking compartment(s) is primarily condensed steam. Failure to drain out quickly and completely may be due to debris in the compartment drain screen. Pull screen straight out and thoroughly clean, then replace. Failure to drain completely may also be due to improper leveling of the steamer.

Cooking Cycle Cannot Be Activated

Inspect all wire terminals to ensure they are positive and secure before assuming any other problem. When the power switch on generator control box is in the on position, set the timer knob to 2 minutes. Both Ready lights should go off, Cooking lights should come on and steam should be entering both compartments.

Steamer Achieves Pressure Slower Than Normal

If the generator requires more than 18 minutes to achieve normal operating pressure of 3 – 4 psi, then check the following conditions.

A.

A heavy build-up of scalants has possibly coated the interior of the generator. The insulating effect of the scalants hampers heat transfer. Unscrew and remove the clean-out port plug on the bottom of the generator. Using a small mirror examine interior of generator and if scalants and/or lime build-up is apparent, perform a generator clean-out and deliming procedure (see DELIMING THE

GENERATOR). If considerable scalants are evident, both the generator drain solenoid valve and the water level control must also be examined.

B.

Low incoming gas pressure. Check the incoming line and manifold gas pressures as outlined in

MANIFOLD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT under

SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS.

C.

Gas combination control valve malfunction. Check the incoming and manifold gas pressures as outlined in MANIFOLD PRESSURE

ADJUSTMENT under SERVICE PROCEDURES

AND ADJUSTMENTS.

If pressure adjustments are made and manifold pressure remains low, replace the gas combination control valve and test the steamer for proper operation.

D.

Gas orifice clogged or obstructed around air shutter. It is possible for debris to become lodged in the small gas orifice opening over time. Clean out the gas orifice using a round metal instrument of the same hole diameter or slightly smaller.

Clean as needed. If clogging reappears, the orifice should be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.

Remove any other foreign objects that appear to be obstructing the gas orifice or air shutter.
