NS Load compensation, although factory preset, is programmable.
Load compensation adjusts cooking times to compensate for
differences in the cooking process such as load size. The control
is continuously comparing the pot temperature to the setpoint
temperature. If the pot temperature is above the set point,
then the control will shorten the cook time. If the pot
temperature is below the setpoint, then the control will
lengthen the cook time. This is programmable within this
function by displaying 0 to lO..qero meaning no load compen-
sation, while ten means the highest load compensation.
c
The filter cycle count is a method of keeping track of when
N it is time to filter the shortening. To determine when it is time
to filter, the control adds the (fractional) number of the cycle
count to a running total at the end of each cook cycle. When
this total exceeds one, then the “FIL” (“FIL” within the digital _,
display) indication is given.

The melt mode is used to safely melt solid shortening and can
also be used with liquid shortening. Gradually heating or
melting the shortening greatly extends its life. This is
automatically accomplished in the melt mode by turning the
heat on for 3 seconds and off for 27 seconds. The operator has
the option of entering melt manually with the SELECT
PRODUCT switch or programming automatic melt. Select the
melt mode and program “A” for automatic. At this time also
program the melt temperature. This is the temperature the
control will exit the melt mode and go into the heat mode. It
is recommended to program this temperature at 170OF. After
programming, the control will work as follows: when the unit
is turned on the control checks the pot temperature. If the pot
temperature is below 170°F or programmed temperature, the
unit will enter the melt mode. If the pot temperature is above
1700F or programmed temperature, the unit will enter the
programmed 1st cycle.
2. Depress the TIMER switch. This will put you into the
Special Program Mode. The display will read “SP”.

Digit 1: Blank’ -’ When the switch under the digit is
depressed it will read INIT for one second then ‘erase all
memory.
Digit 2: Blank - When the switch under the digit is
depressed it will enter all Henny Penny cooking parameters.
Display will read INIT for one second, then HP.
Digit 3: Display will read either F for Fahrenheit degrees
or C for Celcius degrees. By depressing the switch under
the digit, it will toggle from F to C.
Digit ‘4: Display will read either E for electric or 0 for gas
units. By depressing the switch under the digit ‘it will
toggle from E to 0.
This feature will aid the operator in the event there is a power
outage. If the control is timing down and the power supply
is interrupted for any reason, the control will not reset to the
original cook cycle time, When power is restored, the control
will resume timing at the point the power was interrupted,
allowing the operator to know what time is needed to finish
cooking that particular’ load of product.
5. If you desire to enter the boil out mode, depress the switch
below Y. Control will heat to factory’s pre-programmed boil
out temperature.
6. If, for any reason, you do not wish to enter boil out
mode, depress the switch under N.

13. After all pressure has been released, (pressure gauge reads
0) turn lid spindle counterclockwise as faras possible and
open lid.
14. Insert basket handle, lift basket out of shortening and rest
the basket on the side of pot rim to allow product to drain.
Parameter settings for time, temperature, alarm, pressure, load compensation, load anticipation, PC factor
and filter cycle may need to be adjusted to produce food products more suitable for your application.

The following is to be used as a quick reference for the cooking and programming of the Computron 7000 control. If more detail is needed, refer to
the Computron 7000 excerpt in this manual.
Cooking Operation r
1. Make sure that the keyswitch is in the “COOK” position. Push the power switch to the “COOK” position.
5. The product is done when the buzzer beeps and the yellow DONE light flashes. Push TIMER to stop the buzzer. Open the lid and remove the product.
6. To cook more of the same product, go to Step 4. To cook a different product, go to Step 3.
If the display shows “Fil”, then it is time to filter the shortening. You can either filter, or bypass filtering:
TO FILTER: Push power switch to “OFF”; filter as usual; go to Step 1. Pump runs with power switch in “PUMP” position.
TO BYPASS FILTERING: Push power switch to “OFF” for about 3 seconds, then back to “COOK”. Go to Step 3.
Cooking alarms may occur while the timer is running. The display will flash “AL 1” for the first alarm, “AL 2” for the second, and so on. The buzzer *
will beep 3 times, then stop. DO NOT PUSH THE TIMER SWITCH DURING THE ALARMS!
The meaning of the alarms depends on your cooking process. They can be used as “stir” or “almost done” messages to the frycook.
The green PRESSURE light will turn on during the cook cycle if the control calls for pressure. Pressure gauge shows the actual pot pressure. *
Use idle mode to conserve energy and shortening life. It can be entered manually or automatically. Put the fryer into Idle mode by pushing SELECT
PRODUCT until the red IDLE light (in the menu area) turns on.
, -* If the control automatically goes into Idle, the IDLE light will turn on. To resume cooking, go to Step 3.
If the timer is accidentally started, push the TIMER switch to stop it.
If an error in the fryer occurs, the buzzer will sound until you push the TIMER switch. The display will show an error code:
E 5 Pot temperature is too high.
Temperature probe has failed.
E 1: High limit has tripped; also flashes red HI LIMIT light.
E 41 Memory lost - reprogram complete unit.
The display will continue to flash the error code until the error is fixed. You cannot cook until the error is fixed.
rogramming Products
Move the keyswitch to the “Program” position to set cooking times and temperatures. When done, move it back to “COOK,” /
You push switches to program. Switches are black or grey squares with white boarders. Don’t push on the lighted words on the front panel!
Example: “push SELECT PRODUCT: means push the switch above the red SELECT PRODUCT light.
Push SELECT PRODUCT to pick the product to program. The red light in the menu area shows the selected product. u
Push SELECT FUNCTION to pick the item to program: time, temperature, etc. The flashing light is the item you e setting, the other lights
show what can be set.
Push SELECT TIME to see the times set for the product. You can set up to 10 times in each product. These are called interval times.
You can push SELECT TIME with an item displayed to see that item at all times in the program. Example: with TEMP flashing, push SELECT
TIME to see all temperatures.
4. Push the change switches under the display to change the number displayed. Push the change switch under a number to increase that number by
one. If a change switch can be used, the red light above that switch is on.
e-w
For example: if the time 13:25 is displayed, change it to 13:35 by pushing the switch under the “2”.
e Product times can be set from 0O:OO(minutes:seconds) to 99:59. To add a new time, push SELECT TIME until 0O:OOis displayed, then set the
new time. To change a time, push SELECT TIME until the desired time is shown, then push the change switches to set the new time. To remove
a time, push SELECT TIME until the desired time is shown, then push the change switches until the display shows 0O:OO
Temperatures can be programmed from 1’70 to 390 degrees F. If you try to go beyond these limits, the buzzer will sound and the display will
blank, then go to 170 or 390.
0 Alarms and pressures can be turned on or off using any change switch. The display will show “on” or “off”.
LOAD ANT: This is load anticipation. Set from 0 to 10. 0 is no anticipation, 10 is full anticipation.
PC FACTOR: This is the proportional control factor. Set from 0 to 30. 0 is no proportional control (best recovery time), 30 is full proportional control
8’ (best temperature regulation).
FIL CYCLE: This is the number of filter cycles. Set to the number of loads to cook this product before filtering.
5. You can push SELECT PRODUCT whenever you are done with a product. This will take you to the next product.
amming elt
1. Put keyswitch in “Program” position. Push SELECT PRODUCT until red Melt light turns on. Push SELECT FUNCTION to set the melt temperature
or 1st cycle.
2. When the melt temperature is displayed, an “A” in the display means that auto melt is turned on. Example: if the melt temperature is 200 and
auto melt is on, the display will show “A200”. If auto melt is off, the display will show “200”. Push the change switch under the “A” to turn it on or off.
If auto melt is on, the control will pulse the heating elements until the pot temperature reaches the melt temperature, then automatically select
tm the 1st cycle.
3. The 1st Cycle is the product the control will select on power-up. Products are numbered from 1 to 10; the upper left product is 1, the product below
that is 2, etc. Set with change switches.
rogramming Idle
1. Put keyswitch in “Program” position. Push SELECT PRODUCT until red Idle light turns on. Push SELECT FUNCTION to set the idle clock
time or the idle temperature.
* 2. When the idle time is shown, the first digit indicates that auto idle is on with an “A”. Push the change switch under the “A” to turn it on or off.
The idle time is shown in minutes. It is set from 0 to 255. If auto idle is off, the idle time is irrelevant.
3. When the idle temp is shown, the type of auto idle is shown with a “C” or a “T” in the first digit. “C” means cycle idle, “T” means times idle.
n Cycle idle starts the idle clock each time a new product is selected. Timer idle starts the idle clock at the end of each load cooked. Idle is entered
automatically when the idle clock times out.
To See The oduct Usage
r 1. With keyswitch in PROGRAM position, push REVIEW USAGE switch. Push SELECT PRODUCT to see the number of loads of each product cooked.
All product lights turn on when the total count of all products is shown.
2. Push RESET USAGE switch to set a count to zero. Pushing RESET USAGE when all LED’s are lit will set the total count and all individual counts
to zero. Pushing RESET USAGE when only one product LED is lit will reset only that count, not the grand total.
* 3. Push REVIEW USAGE when done to return to programming.
The maximum product cycle count is 255. The grand total count maximum is 9,999. If a count reaches the maximum without being reset, it will remain
at the maximum until you reset it.
ro~amming Notes
The change switches, SELECT PRODUCT and SELECT TIME will auto-repeat when held down: SELECT FUNCTION does not.
You cannot turn the alarm on in the first time of a cook cycle.
Pushing SELECT TIME when the LOAD COMP, LOAD ANT, PC FACTOR, or FIL CYCLE lights are on will not take you to the next interval
time in a product, because these items can only be set in the first interval time.
m~o~ant Note
After programming a product (or melt or idle), you should review all settings for all times. Verify that you have deleted any times that you do not
want, and that all settings are programmed as required.
