!! IMPORTANT !!

Failure to closely follow operational and maintenance procedures may result in damage to the unit and / or void your warranty. Carpigiani Corporation will not be responsible for any machine not properly operated or maintained.

Part I – Installation

Before starting this procedure, ensure that the shipping carton does not show any evidence of damage due to dropping or mishandling. This may indicate that the freezer was damaged during transit or delivery.

!! IMPORTANT !!

Should the outside of the shipping carton give any indication of possible damage, state this on the bill of lading prior to signing. Contact the freight carrier and request an inspection of damage. If this procedure is not adhered to, you will forfeit your rights to file a damage claim and be responsible for subsequent repair costs.

A) Uncrating the Freezer

1) The outer shipping carton is secured to the shipping pallet with strapping. When cutting this strapping, do so with caution as it may spring out quickly. After cutting the strapping, lift the shipping carton straight up and off of the freezer.

Prior to choosing a location keep in mind that the freezer should be accessible for periodic maintenance and have adequate space for necessary airflow.

Figure 1

1) The freezer is equipped with adjustable legs to allow for ease of leveling. To level the freezer, turn the lower leg adjustment. The freezer must also be level to ensure proper drainage from the mix tank and cylinder.

2) Remove the protective foam boards and plastic wrapping from the outside of the freezer.

3) The freezer is also secured to the shipping pallet with strapping. Again, exercise caution when cutting this strapping since it may spring out quickly.

4) You must now remove the side panels from the freezer prior to lifting the freezer off of the pallet with a lift truck. To remove the side panels, first remove the side drip chutes and lower chute cover on both side panels. Next remove the screws in each side panel and gently pull down and away from the machine frame. Remove the protective plastic coating from the outer panel surfaces.

B) Positioning the Machine

After removing the machine from the shipping pallet, it is now ready to be located in its final location.

6" 12"

Figure 2

2) If your freezer is air cooled, you MUST have adequate spacing on both sides of the machine. You should have a minimum of 6 inches of clearance on the left side and 12 inches of clearance on the right side of the machine. This will ensure an adequate

airflow is maintained.(Ref. to Figure 2)

Note: If these clearances are not maintained, the production capacity will be reduced, cycling will be increased and the potential will exist that the machine will stop completely

3) It is necessary to clean the air condenser each month to remove dust, paper, etc., which may obstruct airflow. Prior to cleaning the condenser from the inside, disconnect the machines power supply.

4) The machine should be connected to a fused disconnect no more than six feet away. Electrical installation MUST comply with state and / local electrical codes.

5) Never position the machine in direct sunlight or near a heat source. This will reduce its performance and possible damage the freezer.

6) Water connections (Water Cooled Only)are made at the rear of the machine. A minimum of ½ inch (ID) water supply and drain lines are recommended. Both the water inlet and outlet lines must remain unobstructed or the machine performance will be affected.

C) Electrical Requirements

main power connection box is located on the rear, right side bottom of the frame. The connection box is labeled “Connect Power Line Here”. Connect the power supply wires to the machines using the appropriate electrical hardware and strain relief devices.

Figure 3

After the electrical connections are completed, turn the power supply on. At this time you must check the beater / auger motor rotation. The correct beater rotation ( Facing the front of the machine ) should be counter clockwise.

D) Completing the Installation

1) All of the setup and calibration of this freezer should be performed by an approved Carpigiani Service Technician. Failure to calibrate this freezer properly can result in freezer damage and a voided warranty.

All wiring installed to operate the freezer must be in accordance with the National Electric Code and / or local electrical codes and regulations.

!! IMPORTANT !!

This machine must be properly grounded. Failure to properly ground the freezer may result in dangerous and / or fatal electric shock.

The main machine power supply must meet requirements at all times of operation. Voltage fluctuations must not exceed plus or minus 5% of the rated nameplate voltage.

All Carpigiani machines are equipped with step down transformers for the control circuit supply. These transformers have a “multi-tap” input which must be wired to match the inlet voltage (ie. 115 vac). Failure to wire to the correct supply voltage can result in machine malfunction.

Electrical Connection – ( Refer to Fig. 3 )

2) After installation and calibration of both electrical and refrigeration circuits, the side panels should be reinstalled.

!! IMPORTANT !!

Failure to closely follow factory setup and maintenance procedures will result in a voided warranty. Carpigiani Corporation will not be responsible for any freezer which is not setup or maintained in accordance with factory procedures.

NOTE: Always turn the machine OFF and disconnect the power supply switch to the freezer prior to exposing any electrical connections or moving parts.

On the following pages you will find important information and procedures which describe the proper sanitizing, operation, and maintenance of your Carpigiani Freezer. We are certain that your full compliance with instructions and procedures will result in many years of trouble free operation.

Having removed the side panels from the frame, the

In the event this unit should malfunction or need maintenance, please contact your local Carpigiani Distributor or Authorized Service Agent.

- Automatic

- Stand-by

- Beater The indicator light will illuminate corresponding to the mode selected with the touch pad.

571.1

571.2

L3 L4 L5

Figure 4

This machine is equipped with one electronic touch control pads. This electronic touch pad operates all controls of the freezer.

Indicator Lights – L1 through L4

These indicators illuminate to show the selected machine function. When illuminated, the machine is in that respective mode.

Indicator Light – L5

This light will illuminate when the mix tank is low or out of mix. It is also possible to activate a low mix level beeper in the programming mode.

Monitor – Position 570

This numerical monitor will display the cylinder product consistency while the machine is freezing product in the automatic mode. When not freezing the product in the cylinder, it will display mix tank temperature in ALL modes.

Stop / Reset – Position 571.1

When in this mode, the indicator light L1 will be lit and the machine functions off. From this mode you can access the programming mode or switch to operating modes.

Automatic Mode

When placed in this mode the indicator light L2 will illuminate and the machine will start the freezing process in the cylinder. During this freezing process, a number indicating the cylinder consistency will be displayed (monitor #570, the lower the number, softer the product). The machine will continue to freeze the product in the cylinder (numbers will increase) until the preset HOT number value is achieved. After achieving the preset cylinder consistency number (HOT) the machine will then start cooling the mix tank and display mix tank temperature.

Stand-By Mode

When placed in this mode the indicator light L3 will illuminate. This mode is used during prolonged idle periods. The mix temperature in both cylinder and mix storage tank is maintained below 40 degrees F by the electronic temperature probes. Product should not be served while in this mode as it will be too soft. The Monitor (#570) will only display the temperature in the mix tank while in this mode.

NOTE: If the mix level in the tank is below ½ full, a warmer than actual temperature will be displayed on the Monitor #570. The actual mix temperature will remain at a safe temperature below 40 degrees F.

Beater Mode

When placed in this mode the indicator light L4 will illuminate. This mode is used during the start-up (pump fed), cleaning and sanitizing of the machine. While in this mode the ONLY the beater / auger drive motor will operate. This mode has a built in safety device which will automatically switch the machine to the stop mode after 15 minutes of operation. This safety prevents an operator from inadvertently leaving the freezer in this mode for extended periods of time, which could damage the freezer.

Mix Tank Low Level Indicator

When low on mix in the mix storage tank, the indicator light L5 will illuminate. This will indicate

that more mix is needed to operate the freezer. Each mix tank has a maximum capacity of 10 quarts each. DO NOT attempt to operate the freezer while low on mix or your freezer may be damaged. It is also possible to activate a beeper to sound when mix is low in the Automatic and Stand-By modes. This is done through the programming mode.

B) Dispensing Handle – (Refer to Figure 5)

The dispensing handle control the flow and extraction rate of finished product.

You should ONLY dispense product when the machine is in the automatic mode.

The following is an explanation of some of the components inside the electrical control panel.

1) Beater Motor Contactors - Activates the beater drive motor. In the “BEATER” mode, the contactor is energized by the front switch pad. In the “AUTO” mode, the contactor is energized by the photo sensor or 10 minute cycling timer.

2) Compressor Contactor – Activates the refrigeration compressor. When the unit is in the “AUTO” mode, the compressor contactor can be energized by the electronic HOT setting or the Tev Temperature probe.

In the “Stand-By” mode, the contactor is energized by the Tev and Tec temperature probes.

3) Beater Motor Overload Protector - Monitors the current draw of the beater drive motor. If the motor draws excessive amperage, the overload will trip and Alarm 1 (RtA) will be displayed on the touch pad monitor.

4) Main Transformer – This transformer reduces the incoming line voltage to 24 volts for the primary control circuit.

5) Electronic Control Board – This board controls and monitors ALL functions of the machine.

6) Current Monitoring Transformer – This transformer monitor the current draw of the beater drive motor.

7) Secondary Transformer – This transformer reduces the voltage from 24 volts to 11 volts for the electronic control circuit.

F) Other Controls

1) Refrigeration Solenoid Valves – These valves are located behind the front panel. These valves are used to control the flow of refrigerant to the cylinders or mix storage tanks. These valves are designated with EVC for each cylinder and EVV for the mix storage tank. (Refer to Figure 8)

Figure 8

2) High Pressure Safety Switch – In the event of restricted airflow (Air Cooled) or restricted water flow (Water Cooled), this switch will turn off the compressor contactor. While tripped, the beater motors will continue to run until the refrigerant pressure is reduced enough to reset the safety switch. After resetting, both the compressor and motor will resume operation.
