What does Taylor Freezers F5 mean?
F5 in the Taylor R280 Manager Function Menu is the Set Units function. It lets you switch the dispenser's weight display and all portion targets between imperial (lb) and metric (g) modes. Changing this setting affects how basket load targets are shown on the LED display and how values are entered in other manager functions such as F2.
Symptoms
- Basket load weights display in the wrong unit system (lb shown when g expected, or vice versa).
- Operators unable to verify portion targets against metric or imperial specifications.
- F2 basket load target values appear inconsistent with expected portion sizes after a unit-system change.
Common causes
- Unit system was inadvertently changed during a previous manager menu session.
- Default unit setting does not match the regional or operator requirement.
- Technician reset the controller board, reverting to the factory default unit setting.

Diagnostic steps
Enter the Manager Menu
Press and hold the appropriate button sequence to access the Manager Menu on the R280 control panel. Enter the five-digit password if one has been set, or proceed directly if no password is configured.
Navigate to F5
Use the Up or Down buttons to scroll through the function list until 'F5' appears on the LED display, then press Enter to open the Set Units function.
Select the desired unit system
Press the Up button to set metric units (display shows 'gr') or the Down button to set English/imperial units (display shows 'Lb').
Confirm and exit
Press Enter to store the new unit setting. The controller saves the selection and returns to the F5 menu position.
Verify basket load targets in F2
Navigate to F2 and confirm all three basket load size targets (Small, Medium, Large) reflect correct values in the newly selected unit system. Adjust targets as needed.
When to call a professional
F5 is an operator-accessible configuration step and does not require a technician under normal circumstances. Contact a Taylor service technician if the unit system setting fails to save after multiple attempts, which may indicate a non-volatile memory fault on the controller board.
