Remote Condenser Models - User Manual
Initial Start Up
1.Remove front and left side panels. Check machine for any packing or wires rubbing moving parts. Note location of control board in upper left corner of the machine’s front.
2.Remove tape securing curtain to evaporator.
3.Switch on the electrical power to the machine. Observe that some of the control’s indicator lights glow and its display shows O.
4.Wait 4 hours for the compressor’s crankcase heater to warm up the oil in the compressor.
Start Up
1.Open the water supply valve.
2.Turn the receiver’s outlet valve to the full open position.
3.Push and release the ON button.
The indicator light will begin to blink F. The purge valve will open and the water pump will start. The inlet water valve will open to add water to the reservoir. After a few seconds the purge valve will close and the water pump will stop. Water will flow into the machine until the reservoir is full. The hot gas valve and harvest assist device will activate and the liquid line solenoid valve will open, then the compressor and water pump will start. The display will show a continuous F. Five seconds later the hot gas valve will close and the harvest assist device will return to its standby position. Warm air will be discharged from the condenser coil.
4.During the Freeze cycle move the curtain and observe that the SW1 or SW2 light on the control board blinks On when the curtain moves away from the evaporator and Off when returned to its normal position.
Note: Moving the curtain during the Freeze cycle has no affect on control function, but will cause water to flow into the cube chute.
5.Observe the Ready for Harvest indicator light. It may blink early in the freeze cycle, that is normal. The control will ignore that signal for the first 6 minutes of freeze.
6.When the ice has frozen enough, the Ready for Harvest indicator light will be on steady. After it’s been on steady for a few seconds Harvest will begin.
7.The display shows an H.
The hot gas valve opens and the harvest assist mechanism is activated. The purge valve opens to drain some water, when it does the inlet water valve opens to refill the reservoir. After a few seconds the purge valve closes but the inlet water valve continues to fill the reservoir. Harvest continues until the ice is released as a unit and forces the curtain to open. When the curtain opens it signals the controller which returns the unit to a freeze cycle.
8.Check the ice harvested for proper bridge thickness. The ice bridge is factory set at 1/8 inch. If needed, adjust bridge thickness. Do NOT make it too thin.
9.Return the panels to their normal positions and secure them to the machine.
10.Instruct the user in the operation of the machine and its maintenance requirements.
11.Fill out and mail the warranty registration form.
Typical Cycle Times (minutes)
Listed times are for clean machines. Cycle times at startup will be longer until the system stabilizes.
