INTRODUCTION
The Liquid Coffee Ambient Iced Coffee Dispenser (LCA-2 IC) delivers two types of coffee. The dispenser
can be set up for continuous draw (by the cup) for self-serve applications, or portion-control to fill carafes and
decanters for wait staff.
Carefully read and follow all notices on the equipment and in this manual. They were written for your protec-
tion. All notices are to be kept in good condition. Replace any unreadable or damaged labels.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: The dispenser must remain disconnected from the power source until specified in Electrical Hook-
Up.
The LCA-2 IC dispenser is supplied with a 120-volt / 15 Amp cord set and requires a 2-wire, grounded,
individual branch circuit rated for 120 volts AC, 15 amp, single phase, 60Hz. The mating connector must be
a NEMA 5-15R.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
The dispenser may be connected to a cold water system with operating pressure between 20 and 90 psi (138 and
620 kPa) from a 1/2” or larger supply line. A shut-off valve should be installed in the line before the dispenser.
Install a regulator in the line when pressure is greater than 90 psi (620 kPa) to reduce it to 50 psi (345 kPa). The
water inlet fitting is 3/8” flare. Dispensers set up to deliver to 1.8 Oz./sec. (53.2 ml/sec) per dispense tip, require
a water supply source that can deliver a minimum of 1.7 gpm (6.4 lpm) at the inlet fitting.
NOTE: Bunn-O-Matic recommends 3/8” tubing from the 1/2” water supply line. At least 18 inches of FDA approved
flexible beverage tubing, such as reinforced braided polyethylene or silicone, before the dispenser will facilitate
movement to clean the counter top. It can be purchased direct from Bunn-O-Matic (part number 00326.0000).
Bunn-O-Matic does not recommend the use of a saddle valve to install the dispenser. The size and shape of the
hole made in the supply line by this type of device may restrict water flow.
This equipment must be installed to comply with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building
Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For models installed outside the
U.S.A., you must comply with the applicable Plumbing/Sanitation Code for your area.

38059 050605
REPLACING THE PUMP TUBING
The pumps and tubing used in the dispenser are designed to give maximum performance and long life. However,
the tubes are a wear item and must be replaced periodically. How long the tubes last is dependent on usage and
properties of the concentrate. Excessive wear will reduce the output of the pumps resulting in a weak mixed
beverage. Bunn-O-Matic recommends replacing the Pump Tubing a minimum of once every 6 months or sooner
if warranted.
Refer to the Tube Replacement Instruction on the Cabinet door for details.
1. Rinse the pump tubing with warm tap water (Refer to steps 1 - 5 of the Weekly Sanitizing instructions) prior
to removing the tubes to avoid concentrate spills.
2. Loosen the thumbscrew securing the tubing retainer plate to the pump housing. Set it and the retainer plate
aside.
3. Depress the tension screw and remove it from the notch in the pump housing, releasing the spring tension
on the pump band.
4. Open the compression band and gently pull the pump tube from around the pump’s rotor.
5. Inspect the pump bands for signs of wear. Replace if necessary.
6. Apply lubricant (BUNN-O-MATIC part number M2548.1000) to the new pump tubing’s rotor side.
7. Insert the tube onto the mix chamber port, then wrap the new tubing around the pump rotor, making sure

A troubleshooting guide is provided to suggest probable causes and remedies for the most likely problems
encountered. If the problem remains after exhausting the troubleshooting steps, contact the Bunn-O-Matic
Technical Service Department.
• Only qualified service personnel should perform inspection, testing, and repair of electrical equipment.
• Shorting the terminals or the application of external voltages to electronic components may result in component
or circuit board failure.
• Intermittent operation of electronic circuit boards is unlikely. board failure will normally be permanent. If an
intermittent condition is encountered, the cause will likely be a switch contact or a loose wire connection at
a terminal or crimp.
• Solenoid removal requires interrupting the water supply to the valve. Damage may result if solenoids are
energized for more than ten minutes without a supply of water.
• The use of two wrenches is recommended whenever plumbing fittings are tightened or loosened. This will
help avoid twists and kinks in the tubing.
• Make certain that all plumbing connections are sealed and all electrical connections are tight and isolated.
• This dispenser is heated at all times. Keep away from combustibles.
WARNING:
• Exercise extreme caution when servicing electrical equipment.
• Disconnect the brewer from the power source when servicing, except when electrical tests are specified. The
red “Power LED” on the door indicates that the unit is connected to AC Power.
• Follow recommended service procedures.
• Replace all protective shields or safety notices.

Field Calibration of the Concentrate Pumps / Dispenser Flow Rates
The factory set Default Values for the Pump & Dispenser Flow Rates are very accurate and typically do not
need to be field calibrated. However, if the mix ratio accuracy is ever in question, this procedure can be used to
recalibrate the unit in the field.
Equipment Required:
50 to 100 ml graduated cylinder, with 1 ml graduations.
64 Oz (2000 ml) graduated container.
Remove the lower splash guard assembly to access prior to starting this procedure
NOTE: You can calibrate either the Concentrate Pump or the Dispenser Flow Rate independently. Simply scroll
through the menu screen to the desired section and perform only those steps.
Calibrating the Left Side Dispenser
Concentrate Pump Calibration
1. Select PRIME on the Function Selector Switch. (refer to Priming the Concentrate Lines).
2. Place a container under the Left Dispense Tip and prime the concentrate lines until a steady stream of
concentrate comes out the tip (approximately 10 seconds).
3. Stop the Priming and allow the tip to stop dripping. Discard the concentrate collected.
4. Select NORMAL on the Function Selector Switch.
5. Locate the programming module and use the Arrow Down key to scroll through LCD screens until CAL
LEFT SIDE appears and press the YES button.
6. The CAL LEFT PUMP menu screen will be displayed. Place a 50 ml graduated cylinder under Left Dispense
Tip and activate the Left Dispenser momentarily. The dispenser will run the Left Concentrate Pump for
20 seconds and then shut OFF automatically.
7. Keep the graduated cylinder under dispense tip until all the concentrate has dripped out.
8. Measure the volume of concentrate collected in the graduated cylinder.
Acceptable ranges for the volume collected
Tubing Size Volume Collected
3/16” tubing 40 - 47 ml.
1/8” tubing 17 - 22 ml
9. If the amount collected is not within the acceptable range, empty the graduated cylinder and repeat STEPS
6 – 8.
10. If the amount collected is still not within range, replace the pump tubing with a new Tube Kit, (refer to
the Tube Replacement Instructions).
11. When satisfied with the volume of concentrate collected, press the Down Arrow Key
12. The CAL LF PUMP VOL menu screen will be displayed. Use the (-) / (+) keys to adjust number displayed
to the amount measured in STEP 8.

13. Press Down Arrow Key to display the CAL LF WTR FLO menu screen.
14. Place a 64 Oz (2000 ml) graduated container under Left Dispense Tip and Pull the Left Dispense Handle
momentarily. The dispenser will dispense water for 20 seconds and then shut OFF automatically.
15. Keep the graduated container under dispense tip until all the water stops dripping.
16. Measure the volume of water collected in the graduated container.
17. If the amount collected is not within the acceptable range, empty the graduated container and repeat
STEPS 14 – 16
18. If the amount collected is still not within range, inspect the dispense valves, tubing and mix chamber for
lime, kinks or other obstructions.
19. When satisfied with the volume of concentrate collected, press the Down Arrow Key.
20. The CAL LF WTR VOL screen will be displayed. Use the (-) / (+) keys to adjust number displayed to the
amount measured in STEP 16.
21. Press Down Arrow Key again to exit the CAL LEFT SIDE functions.
Calibrating the Right Side Dispenser
Repeat STEPS 1-21 above for the “CAL RIGHT SIDE” menus.
Field Calibrating the Empty BIB Warning
The dispenser will automatically turn on the Left or Right “REFILL LED”, see Operating Controls and Interface,
when the corresponding BIB is Empty. The Refill message is triggered when the FlavorGardTM sensor reading
drops below the minimum setting. The factory set minimum is 250 and should be correct for most locations.
However, in some areas the hardness of the local water supply may effect this reading. If the Refill message
doesn’t come on when the BIB is empty or the message comes on too early and there is still concentrate left in
the BIB, use the following procedure to find the correct Empty BIB threshold.
Calibrating The Empty BIB Threshold
1. Remove the lower splash guard assembly to access the digital programming module with LCD display.
2. Open the cabinet door and set the Function Switch to the “Rinse” position. Close the door.
3. Place a large container under the Left dispenser tip, then activate and hold the left dispenser.
4. Dispense long enough to rinse all the concentrate out of the mix chamber and for the Conductance reading
to stabilize and stop dropping.
5. Record the nominal Conductance value displayed. (NOTE: It is typical for this value fluctuate (+/- 25) points
about the nominal value}. This is the conductance reading of the water in your area.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 for the Right dispenser.
7. Add 100 points to the larger of the Left or Right side Conductance value. This is the new Empty BIB threshold
value for your dispenser.
8. Enter this new value into the Empty BIB Alarm threshold, see Programming the Dispenser.
