When an error occurs - main display will read “Error” and state which error has occurred
List of 12 recordable errors are listed in the manual
Operator manual lists potential causes and corrective actions for each
Error can normally be cleared by pushing “OK” button
Checking for proper assembly of components – resolves some commonly occurring errors:
“Weighing Issue”
“Fry door failed
Calibration often clears up “weighing issue’

21. Error Detection (continued)
If errors occur repeatedly after resetting, service technician should be called in
Refrigeration errors can not be cleared by pushing “OK” button
Service technician required to address this error
Error reset accessed through the Service Menu.

22. Scale Calibration
The RAM 200-F weighing scale may require calibration periodically.
Calibration of the scale is performed using the operator panel on the front of the dispenser.
The procedure was designed to be performed by the store staff as well as service technicians

23. Scale Calibration (continued)
Open the cabinet door and remove the hopper from the dispenser
Insure that accumulator housing remains on the doors
Press menu button until “user menu” is displayed
Use arrow buttons until “calibrate” is displayed, then press “OK”
Place an empty basket in the dispense position under the accumulator doors
Slide basket over the basket sensor – doors will open and close to insure empty accumulator doors
Display will read “Zeroing Scale” – scale now has set a zero tare value

24. Scale Calibration continued.
When the display reads “1.0” or 450g, place a 1 lb (450 g) weight on the accumulator doors
4 x “quarter pounder” patties can be used for reference weights
When the display reads “2.0” (900g), place an additional 1lb (450 g) weight on the accumulator doors
When scale stabilizes, the display reads “remove weights” – remove as instructed
Reinstall the hopper and select a basket size button.

25. When to Calibrate During semi-annual PM Check
If basket weights appear inconsistent
If values (temp, weight) accidentally are changed from metric to US
As part of some error code corrective action
When major components are changed by technicians

26. Basic troubleshooting
Display will indicate a system error (flashing)
Basket size buttons will flash for affected side
Most errors are reset by pushing the Enter button
Many errors can be corrected by properly assembling the dispenser and/or calibrating
Refrigeration errors may require additional corrective action

27. Required Maintenance Daily Monthly Every 6 months or as needed
Turn OFF dispenser, defrost for 1 hr
Inspect cabinet and removable components
Monthly

Only personnel, licensed in refrigeration, should perform service to the refrigeration systems.

30. Equipment Safety
Turn the power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before any service work performed
Keep hands away from accumulator doors and dispenser drums while in operation.
Use only the power cord that came with the dispenser, do not use and extension cord, do not modify the power cord.

31. Equipment Safety
Do not spray the dispenser with liquid or solvents. Spraying the dispenser may void the warranty.
