2. Introduction to the RAM 200-F Manufactured by Automated Equipment LLC • Designed to dispense frozen fries on demand to improve product quality, consistency and yield. • Single hopper design developed for: • Lower sales volume restaurants • Limited kitchen space sites (width, height) • 19 kg hopper capacity • Uses a cold wall refrigeration system • Not self defrosting • Requires shut down/defrost once per day

3. Assembly Instructions • Ensure all parts are clean, sanitized, and dry • Install Fry Guide - secure with retaining pin • Install flap door (green label side up) • Install the accumulator housing • Assemble the diverter and drum into the fry hopper • Install hopper into the cabinet • Install basket rack • Install the drip tray

4. Opening procedure • Turn dispenser on 90 minutes before use • Remove hash-brown rack if not needed • Ensure flap door, fry guide & accumulator housing are installed properly. • Load fries into the hopper • Select basket size • Properly position basket for dispensing

5. Dispenser operation • Change basket load sizes to match sales rate *** Step down software shifts to lower weight selections automatically: • Large to medium after 7 minutes • Medium to small after 3 minutes • Resets when large is next selected • Cook fries from frozen - do not stage filled baskets • Look out for empty hopper warnings • Look out for door open notification

6. Dispenser controls Used to make load size selections and to access menu functions. • Power switch (integral 15 amp breaker) • Located on right side of dispenser cabinet • Operator panel - consists of 2 groups of controls • Hopper controls: basket load selections • System controls: access to available menus • Main screen displays instructions and information, not using numerical codes (as with the 280-F)

7. Operator Panel Layout

8. Hopper controls • Selection of desired load size using size buttons • Indicator lights above indicate the selection made • Main screen displays “select size” if no load size has been selected

9. System Controls • OK: reset and function enter key • Scroll: function scroll up and down keys

10. Main screen display • Current refrigeration status • Waiting: in short cycle delay • Cooling: in initial cool down stage • RAM 200-Fxp: in normal refrigeration cycle • Open: cabinet door is open • Current cabinet temperature • * symbol after temp. indicates compressor is in normal cycle • Current basket load size selection (select size if no selection made)

11. Main screen display (cont.) • Current weighing system status • Filling: drum is turning • Empty: Insufficient weight on accumulator doors; hopper empty • Ready: fries are weighed, waiting for basket

12. Menu Structures • 3 menu structures provided • Menu button provides access to all 3 • Menus provided • User • Configuration • Service • Configuration and Service menus can be password protected if desired • Uses up, down arrows and basket sizes for setting password

13. User Menu • Last Basket/Cancel Selections • Halts weighing in progress • Immediate return to main screen • Most common use – to empty hopper at end of day, or for immediate calibration • Calibration – starts calibration procedure • Display of Error history • Display of software version • Main screen – returns to main screen

14. Configuration Menu • Set target basket load amounts • Set target temperatures • Set language • Set display units; metric or US (lbs, F°) • Set/adjust step down of basket filling • Set password • Return to main screen ! Under normal operation these settings should not need to be adjusted

15. Service menu • This menu should only be accessed and used by a designated service technician • The functions provide for: • system diagnostics • error correction • adjustment of all operational system settings

16. Service Menu • Error counts – displays number of occurrences for each error • Clear functions: • Error log – errors that can be reset by crew • Held errors – these are refrigeration errors • Parameters – keeps or resets factory defaults • Adjust temperature (probe)

17. Service Menu • Scale Readout – live calibrated weight displayed • Refrigeration Monitor • Weighing Monitor • Accumulator Monitor • Sensor Monitor • Fry Monitor

18. Service Menu • Bypass Functions: shuts down some systems for error diagnosis or to continue operation of dispenser • Refrigeration • Weighing system • Basket sensor

19. Service menu • Test Outputs: turns selected outputs ON or OFF for testing (Refrig, Drum, Accumulator) • Set password • Service Pin – only used on SMART board

20. Error Detection • 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 • Turn OFF dispenser, defrost for 1 hr • Inspect cabinet and removable components • Monthly • Clean and inspect the condenser filter • Replace filter as necessary • Every 6 months or as needed • Clean the condenser coils • Inspect door gasket, door alignment

28. Closing procedure • Utilize U1-Last basket function • Empty accumulator door and housing • Empty hopper into approved storage container and place in freezer • Wash, rinse, sanitize & air dry removable components • Turn Dispenser OFF and Defrost Cabinet • Wash, rinse, sanitize & air dry the cabinet • Reassemble the dispenser – after parts are fully dry

29. Equipment Safety • Only trained and qualified personnel should perform service to this equipment. • 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. • Do not drill or otherwise puncture the cabinet walls or top. • Never use a sharp object to remove frost. • Keep the dispenser upright at all times.

32. Keys to Top Performance • Load fries directly from freezer • Insure dispenser has been turned on 90 minutes prior to loading fries • Do not stage filled baskets on basket racks – fry directly after filling • Turn off dispenser – allow to defrost and clean/dry once per day
