Ice maker – Emitter /Receiver Boards

The emitter board emits an infrared beam. When the eye on the receiver board sees the beam a circuit is completed indicating the ice bin is in place and not full. This sig- nal is sent to the control board and the ice maker is energized. If the beam is not seen by the receiver board, the control board shuts off the ice maker.

1.With the switch on the emitter board in the ON position, the window covering the emitter beam is opened.

2.With the switch on the emitter board in the OFF position, the window covering the emitter beam is closed.

3.With the ice bin installed it forces the receiver door closed aligning a window in the door with the eye on the receiver board.

4.When the ice bin is removed, the door opens and blocks the signal from the emitter.
