Managing the Bowl Levels

Ice Frost Operator’s Manual

When one of the two level probes fails to detect the presence of liquid in the bowl, the Fill solenoid valve is activated to refill the correct level.

The probes relating to each bowl are completely independent, therefore the following situation will occur:

Bowl Level Probe	Bowl Level Probe
Safety Probe Input	Safety Probe Input

Bowl Fill Solenoid

Bowl Level Probes Uncovered Bowl Fill Solenoids = ON

NOTE 1: The level/s refill phase must take place within a maximum time lapse which is controlled by the (controller (see Alarms chapter).

NOTE 2: The level/s refill phase may only concern one of the two bowls, but it will maintain the same features.

NOTE 3: It is essential that the safety probes are covered for the bowl/s filling phase to take place.

Safety Probes (only for ICE FROST GENERIC Pre-mix)

In addition to the two level probes relating to the two bowls (see FIGURE 32 through FIGURE 35), the μZ4LP system also monitors the two ‘safety’ probes designed to monitor the presence of liquid in the external tanks.

The monitoring of the probes (covered/uncovered) is only active during the bowl loading phase. It follows, then, that a lack of liquid in the tanks during the non-loading phases will not be signalled.

If:

Safety probe inputs uncovered when bowl fill solenoids = OFF -

no signal

Example of how the safety system works:

Supposing the safety probe is uncovered and the solenoid valve is de-energized. In this case there will be no signal.

Then the level probe located in the bowl is uncovered. The solenoid valve is enabled to allow the bowl to fill correctly.

3 seconds after the activation of the solenoid valve, the safety signal is activated as the probe has been identified as uncovered. The fill solenoid valve is deactivated and the buzzer emits an intermittent signal lasting 6 seconds.
