OPERATING CONTROLS
(CDS-3 Controls Illustrated)
ICE CONTROLS
Controls the consistency of the ice in the hoppers
when the DAY/NIGHT switch is in the left “DAY”
position and the ICE/OFF/NO-ICE switch is in the left
“ICE” position.
Turn this control clockwise to produce a
coarser ice or counterclockwise to produce
a finer ice. (The dispenser is set to deliver
satisfactory ice at a 1:00 setting.)
AUGER SWITCHES
”—” – This is the normal operating posi-
tion. Energizes the auger motor when in
the right position. The dispenser will cool
to the ice consistency or liquid temperature
presets only with the switch in the right
position.
“o” – Removes power from the auger motor when in the left position.
ICE/OFF/NO-ICE SWITCHES
ICE – This is the normal operating position. Freezes
and maintains the ice in the selected hopper to the
consistency set with the ICE control(s) when in the left
“ICE” position.
OFF – Provides no cooling to the selected hopper when in the center “OFF” position.
NO-ICE – Maintains cooling yet allows any ice
in the selected hopper to naturally thaw when
in the right “NO-ICE” position.
DAY/NIGHT SWITCH
DAY – This is the normal operating position.
The hoppers’ display lights will glow and the
electronic controls will maintain ice when the
switch is in the left “DAY” position, the individual hoppers’ ICE/OFF/NO-ICE switches are
in the left “ICE” position, and the individual
hoppers’ AUGER switches are in the right “—”
position.
POWER OFF/ON SWITCH
ON – This is the normal operating position. The dis-
penser is electrically energized when the switch is in
the right “ON” position. NOTE – The compressor will
start after a 3 minute 20 second delay on the CDS-2
will be kept cold in all hoppers when this switch is in the
right “NIGHT” position and the AUGER switches are in
the right “—”position.
NIGHT –Use this position at night. The hoppers’ display lights will be out yet the liquid
and a 6 minute 30 second delay on the CDS-3.
OFF – All electrical components of the dispenser are
without power when the switch is in the left “OFF”
position.
NOTE: When Day/Night Timer is used, the Day/Night
Switch in the control drawer must be kept in the “DAY”
position.
POWER INDICATOR (Located on the front of the
drawer)
Glows to show that the POWER OFF/ON Switch is in the
right “ON” position.
STATUS INDICATORS
The electronic controls continuously diagnose the operational status of the dispenser and indicate as listed:
FLASHING 50% ON / 50% OFF – Glows while preparing for coolant to flow to the selected hopper. (Flashes for
10-seconds, then glows steady for two minutes.)
STEADY GLOW – Glows for two minutes before coolant flows to the selected hopper, then continues to glow
while coolant flows.
The electronics also sense and indicate error conditions in the dispenser as listed:
ONE FLASH EVERY FOUR SECONDS – Cooling is needed by the selected hopper, but the auger isn’t turning. Try
placing the AUGER switch for the selected hopper in the right “—” position.

port.
THREE QUICK FLASHES – Low auger torque is being sensed. Call Bunn-O-Matic for Support.
FOUR QUICK FLASHES – High auger torque is being sensed. Call Bunn-O-Matic for Support.
DAY/NIGHT TIMER
The quartz driven timer offers 24-hour programming with 96 actuators that operate in 15-minute incre-
ments. All actuators can be individually set to the inside or outside position. The timer is located behind the
right side panel.
SETTING TIME
1. Locate marker on the inner (stationary) dial that points to
outer dial. The marker is at approximately the two O’clock
position.
2. Turn outer dial clockwise until the marker is pointing to the
correct time. The clock hands will turn with the outer dial
indicating the same time as the marker. NOTE - the outer dial
has AM and PM settings.
SETTING NIGHT TIME MODE
1. Locate the actuators positioned around the outer dial. Inward
position indicates day time mode and outer position indicates
night time mode.
2. Determine the desired times that night time mode is to begin
and end.
3. Position all actuators between begin and end times in the
outer position.
EXAMPLE: Night Time Mode is 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM
Place the actuator at 11:00 PM to the outside position. Con-
tinue placing actuators to the outside position counterclock
wise around the dial to 7:00 AM. All actuators from 7:00 AM
to 11:00 PM must be in the inside position.
NOTE: For Day/Night Timer to operate, the Day/Night Switch
in the control drawer must be kept in the “DAY” position.
