FOR THE PLUMBER CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES Water Inlet Air Cooled Models: Use 3 8 " O.D. copper tubing to connect cold potable water to the 3 8 " male flare fitting at the back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply. Water Treatment: In most areas, a water filter of some type will be useful.[...]

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES Connect the electrical power to the machine to the wires in the junction box at the rear of the machine. Check the nameplate (located on the back panel) for the voltage requirements, and for the minimum circuit ampacity. The machine requires a solid chassis to earth ground wire. The ice machine sh[...]

FOR THE INSTALLER Final Check List 1. Is the ice system installed indoors in a location where the air and water temperatures are controlled, and where they do not exceed the design limitations? 2. Is there an electrical service disconnect within sight of the installed machine? Has the voltage been checked, and compared to nameplate requirements? 3.[...]

INITIAL START UP Pre-Start Inspection 1. Remove the front and side service panels. 2. Check that any shipping blocks have been removed. 3. Inspect the interior of the machine for loose screws or wires. Check that no refrigerant lines are rubbing each other. Check that the fan blade turns freely (air cooled). 4. Check that the unit is installed corr[...]

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Control Box: Contains the electrical controls that operate the machine. High Pressure Cut Out Switch : An automatic reset switch sensing the high side refrigeration pressure. It is set to shut the machine off if the discharge pressure should ever exceed 450 PSIG. Low Pressure Cut Out Switch An automatic reset control that shut[...]

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Evaporator : A refrigerated vertical tube filled with water and containing a water seal and auger. Auger: A solid stainless steel double spiral auger, it pushes the ice crystals up to the top of the evaporator. Water Seal: A two part “face” seal, the top half rotating with the auger, the bottom half stationary, the sealing[...]

CONTROL BOX COMPONENTS Contactor: A definite purpose contactor connecting the compressor to the power supply. AutoSentry Ô Control Board The control board receives input signals from several sensors and translates them to control the electrical power supply to the various loads. The sensors include: · Electric eyes to check the ice level in the b[...]

ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE: There are 7 indicator lights on the control board: · WTR-OK (Water OK) . Green. Normal = Glowing. Glows when there is water in the reservoir. · PWR-OK (Power OK). Green. Normal = Glowing. Glows when the control board has power and is functional. · Service. Red. Normally Off. · Freeze. Red. Normally glowing when making ice. [...]

OPERATION: Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water then goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator. Reservoir overflow or evaporator condensation is routed to the drain. Water cooled model[...]

OPERATION: Refrigeration Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser. At the condenser (air or water cooled) the gas is cooled by either air or water and it then condenses into a liquid. This high pressure liquid then goes through the liquid line to the[...]

CLEANING & SANITIZING A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company ’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance. It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, and less costly in the [...]

1. The bin control is a device that senses light, therefore it must be kept clean so it can “see”. At least twice a year, remove the bin control sensors from the base of the ice chute, and wipe the inside clean, as illustrated . 2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the probe sho[...]

NME454, 654 & FME504, 804 January 2007 Page 19 Clean the air cooled condenser. The air flow on this model is from front to back, so the inside of the machine will have to be available to clean the air cooled condenser. Use a vacuum cleaner or coil cleaner if needed. Do NOT use a wire brush. A. Disconnect electrical power, and remove the filter.[...]

The bearing in the breaker should also be checked at least two times per year . A. Check the bearing by: · removing the ice chute cover · unscrewing the ice sweep · removing the water shed & unscrewing the breaker cover (left hand threads). · unscrewing the auger stud Inspect the bearing. There should be plenty of grease in sight. If grease[...]

AUGER MAINTENANCE In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger becoming coated with these minerals, requiring a more frequent removal than twice per year. If in doubt about the condition of the evaporator and auger, the auger can be removed so the par[...]
