GEM0650/0956/1256 Remote | For the Installer |
Remote Condenser Location:
Limited to a 25 foot or a 40 foot length of precharged refrigerant tubing connecting the ice machine to the remote condenser. The remote condenser must be above or level with the ice machine. Select the best available location, protecting the remote condenser from extremes of dirt, dust and sun. Meet all applicable building codes. Usually the services of a licensed electrician are required.
Roof Attachment:
1.Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof of the building, using the methods and practices of construction that conform to the local building codes, including having a roofing contractor secure the remote condenser to the roof.
2.Have an electrician connect the remote condenser fan motor wires to the ice machine, using the junction box at the back of the ice machine.
Precharged Line Set Routing
CAUTION: Do not connect the precharged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the coupling instructions for connecting information.
1.Each set of precharged tubing refrigerant lines consists of a 3/8 diameter liquid line and a 1/2 inch diameter discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, one
end has a Schrader valve connection, that end goes to the condenser.
Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes recommended for passing the refrigerant lines through.
2.Have the roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for the refrigerant lines of 1.750 inch. Check local codes, a separate hole may be required for the electrical power to the condenser.
CAUTION: DO NOT KINK OR CRIMP
REFRIGERANT TUBING WHEN
INSTALLING IT.
3.Route the refrigerant lines through the roof opening. Follow straight line routing whenever possible. Any excess tubing MUST remain within the building.
4.Spiral the excess length of precharged tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal spiral (does not need to be as tight as illustrated) to avoid any traps in the lines.
5.Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes.
CAUTION: The couplings on the sets of precharged lines are self sealing when installed properly. Carefully follow the instructions:
