THEORYOF OPERATION
The rate of CO2 solubility increases with cold water. IntelliCarb System provides pre–chilled cold water
from the cold plate and mix with CO
high volume 125gph Procon pump and high torque motor.
The amount of carbonated water reserve is controlled by a probe mounted in the tank. The probe is
called a “liquid level probe”. The liquid level probe senses the water level in the tank. Probe controls the
pump “ON” and “OFF” cycle through the electronic board called “liquid level board”.
NOTE: The probe works on a 5 M.V. D.C. current that continually reverses direction to prevent
probe corrosion.

DESCRIPTION
The “Enduro IntelliCarb” series of ice dispensers solves your ice and beverage service needs in a
sanitary, space saving, economical way. Designed to be automatically filled with ice from a top mounted
ice machine or manually filled with ice from any remote ice-making source, these dispensers will
dispense cubes (up to 1-1/4 inch in size), cubelets, and hard-chipped or cracked ice. In addition, the units
include beverage faucets, a cold plate, an internal carbonator tank and an external pump for the
carbonator, and are designed to be supplied direct from syrup tanks with no additional cooling required.
IMPORTANT: For dispensing compressed or extruded style ice, an Ice Diverter Kit must be installed on
the dispenser, see FIGURE 13 on page 9.

1.Locate the dispenser indoors on a level counter top.
A. LEG OPTION
Unpack the four (4) legs and install them into the threaded holes provided in the bottom of the
unit. The installer must provide flexibility in the product and utility supply to permit shifting the
position of the dispenser sufficiently to clean the area beneath it.
B. COUNTER MOUNTING
If counter mounted the ice drink dispenser must be sealed to the counter. The template drawing
indicates where openings can be cut in the counter. Locate the desired position for the dispenser,
then mark the outline dimensions on the counter using the template drawings. Cut openings in
counter.
Apply a continuous bead of NSF International (NSF) silastic sealant (Dow 732 or equal) approximately 1/4--inch inside of the unit outline dimensions and around all openings. Then, position the
unit on the counter within the outline dimensions. All excess sealant must be wiped away immediately.
2.The beverage tubes, drain tube and power cord are routed through the large opening in the bottom
of the unit. See the mounting template for locating the required clearance opening in the counter for
these utility lines.
3.Drip tray assembly: Route the drain tube to an open drain with the end of the tube above the “flood”
level of the drain. Use the tubing, fittings, clamps, and insulation provided with the Dispenser to
assemble the drain. The completed drain line must pitch continuously downward and contain no
“traps” or improper drainage will result. Must have a 4 inch air gap between drain line and drain.
NOTE: This equipment must be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with federal, state, and local codes.
InelliCarb Training Manual
NOTE: IMI Cornelius Inc. recommends that a water shutoff valve and water filter be installed in
the plain water inlet supply line. A Cornelius Water Filter (P/N 313860000) and QUICK DISCONNECT SET (P/N 313867000) are recommended.
CAUTION: Check the minimum flow rate and the maximum pressure of the plain water inlet supply line.
MINUMUM FLOW RATE MUST BE AT LEAST 125--GALLONS PER HOUR. If flow rate is less than 125-
-gallons per hour, starving of the carbonator water pump will occur. Starving will damage the water pump
and could cause the carbonator to time out. INCOMING PLAIN WATER INLET SUPPLY LINE WATER
TO PUMP PRESSURE MUST REMAIN A MINIMUM OF 10--PSI BELOW THE CARBONATOR C
O2
OPERATING PRESSURE. (Example: Carbonator CO2 operating pressure is 75--PSI and the maximum
water pressure can be no more than 65--psi, etc.). Water over pressure (higher than C
O2 operating pres-
sure) can cause carbonator flooding, malfunction, and leakage through the carbonator relief valve. If
water is exceeding maximum pressure specifications, a Water Pressure Regulator Kit (P/N 310150000)
or equivalent must be installed in the plain water inlet supply line. If fitting connector is not available,
water line must be 1/2” or 3/4” diameter with a shut off valve within 6 feet of the dispenser.
4.Locate the carbonator pump assembly and connect probe wires from Ice/Drink Unit and pump. Con-
nect inlet water to pump and pump outlet to Ice/Drink Unit using 3/8--inch food--grade tubing.
NOTE: Locate carbonator assembly within 6 feet of the dispenser. Do not lengthen the control
board harness.
5.Connect the beverage system product tubes as indicated in applicable Plumbing Flow Diagram, see
page 19. This work should be done by a qualified service person.
NOTE: Water pressure for non carbonated beverages must be 60 P.S.I. minimum.
NOTE: See applicable Flow Diagram or Decal on the lower front of the unit for the location of
syrup and water connections.
6.Clean the hopper interior.
7.Connect the two power cords to a 120 volt, 60 cycle, 3-wire grounded receptacle. For 220--240 Volt
International Units, a 3--wire power cord is provided. An adapter plug for the particular country will
need to be provided by the Installer.
Use a 1 - 1/2” rigid pipe (e.g. ABS on P.V.C.) this is to prevent kinking or collapsing. Make sure to leave a
4 inch air gap between the drain line and the floor drain.

1.Locate carbonator assembly below dispenser no more than 6 feet away. Important: Make
sure there is clearance for the liquid level control reset switch on the side of the control box
to avoid accidentally tripping the switch. The control board has an internal timer to prevent the
pump motor from running continuously. In the event of a water supply interruption or malfunction of
the water level probe and/or motor relay circuit. If there is a time-out event, make necessary repairs
to what caused the time out, then depress and release the reset switch to put the control board
back in service. By moving a jumper on the control you can select either a 7 minute or 3 minute time
out or this feature can also be disabled.
A. Hook-up a 3/8 ID water supply line 125 G.P.H. minimum (60 psig. max.) to pump inlet. Minimum

C. Initial start-up procedure for carbonated water system: Turn on the CO2 supply to the car-
bonator tank, vent air from carbonator tank by pulling the tank relief valve. Turn on water supply to
the pump. Connect electrical power to the pump and motor unit. Bleed the air out of the system
by energizing a beverage valve until carbonated water is flowing from the valve.
NOTE:If the carbonator Pump and Motor does not cycle (turn on and off) properly, check that the
probe harness connector and ground lead are secured to the carbonator tank connection points.
D. If service is required on Ice Drink units, it will be necessary to lower the beverage valve panel to
gain access to the probe and ground connection. Remove the lower front panel (2 screws) from
the cabinet and the ice chute cover (“snap” fit). Remove the 6 screws that secure the beverage
panel to the cabinet. The panel can now be moved downward due to the flexibility of the beverage
tubing to expose the carbonator tank connections.
Carbonator Relief Valve Locations
The carbonator tank is located behind the splash panel, on the right side of the dispenser. You will need
to pull the relief valves to purge air from the system after the CO

Total Flex is a system of water manifold blocks located at the front of the cold plate, adjacent to the cold
plate inlets, for easy switch over of carbonated / non-carbonated beverage drinks. The right hand manifold block is for the beverage valves located to the right side of the ice chute, and the left block is for the
left bank of valves. Each beverage valve on the dispenser can be set up for either carbonated or non-carbonated drinks. Refer to the unit’s plumbing diagram for the factory carbonated / non-carbonated valve
locations. The procedure for switching carbonated / non-carbonated water lines on a beverage valve is
as follows:
A. Shut off the water supply to the dispenser. Depressurize and drain both the carbonated and non-
carbonated water circuits.
B. Remove the retainer clip (2 screws) from the manifold block. Switch the plug and water line fitting
to their respective carbonated / non-carbonated outlet locations on the block.
C. Replace the retainer clip. Turn on the water supply and energize the “switched” valve(s). Check
for water leaks.
4.Important: Route the dispenser’s drain line to an open drain with the end of the tube above the flood
level of the drain. The drain line must pitch downward and contain no “traps”.

tester to avoid agitation during pouring. Press vent valve once on carb-tester after tightening lid.
N. Shake carb-tester in vertical motion until peak pressure reading is obtained. Use Pepsi chart for
carbonation level reading.
NOTE: Carbonator troubleshooting procedure located on page 43.
NOTE: Disconnect power to dispenser before installing, removing, or adjusting restrictor.
ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment
This plate may be adjusted as shown to reduce or increase the dispensing rate of ice, especially
desirable when using glasses or other containers with small openings. Adjustment can be made by
sliding up or down with nuts loosened, to obtain the desired amount of restriction.
A side water lever kit can be added to a valve allowing for
dispensing of water without syrup or concentrate. The side
water lever can be added to either a carbonated drink valve
or a noncarbonated drink valve.
Post-mix valves control:
• the ON–OFF of syrup and water,
• the flow rates of syrup and water,
• the mixing of the two ingredients as they pour into the
cup, and
• in some instances - dispensed portion.

SYSTEM DETAILS
Water
Water Quality
Water quality issues have an affect on dispensing valves. Chloramine, a combination of chlorine and
ammonia is responsible for some degradation of rubber components. Chloramine is used in many U. S.
water supplies. Its affects can be minimized by installing and maintaining a water filtration system.
Ultra pure water affects the sensitivity of the Optifill™ valve. Because ultra pure water has less mineral
content, it reduces the conductivity of the water keeping the circuit open and overfilling the beverage
container.
Water Flow
The size of the orifice in the piston varies depending on whether the piston is used for syrup or water, and
whether it is high flow or ultra flow valve.
NOTE: The notched water piston on the Ultra Flow and UFB-1 valve.
results in at least one orifice in the sleeve always open. This eliminates pulsating and smooths water flow at higher flow rates.
In operation the liquid flows through the knife–edged orifice in the bottom
of the piston and then out the orifices in the sleeve. The outlet orifice size
in the sleeve is regulated by the position of the piston. In the illustration,
the piston is restricting approximately 1/2 of the outlet orifices.

FIGURE 19
The position of the piston inside the sleeve is determined by the upward pressure of the liquid against the
base of the piston and the downward pressure of the spring inside the piston (not shown here). The
pressure of the spring is regulated by the adjusting screw.
If the pressure of the liquid increases, the flow rate through the knife–edged orifice will increase. The
piston is moved upward closing off more of the outlet orifices. The same flow rate is thereby maintained.
Flow rates of the water and syrup are adjusted based on the desired ratio. For example: if the desired
ratio is 5:1, then the flow rate of the water is 5 times that of the syrup.
If the desired finished drink total flow rate is 3.0 ounces per second, then the water flow rate is 2.5 oz./
sec and the syrup flow rate is 0.5 oz./sec. (The water at 2.5 oz./sec is five times the 0.5 oz./sec syrup flow
rate.)
NOTE: Always adjust water within its range.

Calculating Flow Rates
The most frequent ratio is 5:1. The charts above list the breakdown for many ratios and flow rates. It is
useful to be able to calculate flow rates when a chart is not available.
An example of calculating the water and syrup flow rates given the finished drink flow rate and the water
to syrup ratio:
Given:
1.Finished Drink Flow Rate = 3.0 oz./sec.
2.Water to Syrup Ratio = 5 to 1
To calculate Water Flow Rate:
1.Calculate the Total Portions = Water Portion + Syrup Portion
(example 5 + 1 = 6)
Prove the calculation is correct by adding water flow rate of 2.5 oz./sec + syrup flow rate of .5 oz./sec =
finished drink flow rate of 3.0 oz./sec.
Water flowing at 2.5 oz./sec and syrup flowing at .5 oz./sec achieves a ratio of 5:1 and 3.0 oz./sec. flow
rate.

Syrup/Concentrate
Syrup should always be precooled before setting the ratio. Syrup takes a path through the valve
parallel to the water path. It is introduced in the block, travels through a syrup flow control, banjo, valve
head and out the nozzle. Note, concentrate is not cooled.
High sugar syrups are more viscous (thicker) than diet syrups and consequently have more
pressure drop within a system. This pressure drop results in less flow at the valve and therefore a slower
fill time. Increasing the pump pressure will help overcome the pressure drop caused by high sugar
syrups.
If the ratio varies and must be adjusted often, it is probably the result of a restricted syrup
system. It is then time to clean and sanitize the syrup tubing and cooling coils and check for other
problems such as syrup pumps, etc.
NOTE: Try raising the pressure on the pump before cleaning.
Set the water flow rate first, then adjust the syrup to the desired ratio. This gives the most accurate
valve flow setting possible. Measure the ratio and adjust the syrup flow, if necessary. This will result in
uniform flow, better carbonation retention, and improved drink quality.
When using a ratio cup always take these precautions to ensure accuracy:
• After installing the separator tube, open the valve to fill the syrup tube before starting the ratio test.
• Clean the cup thoroughly between tests so there is no carry–over from one test to the next.
• Fill the cup to approximately 3/4 full and use approximately the same quantity for each test to ensure
accurate settings.
• Take another sample to verify the settings.

SHURflo’s Beverage Gas Pump supplies syrup under pressure to a post-mix dispenser, which mixes the
syrup with water to an exact ratio (brix). The pump is used in conjunction with non-pressurized Bag-InBox (B-I-B) containers and a bag connector (Q.D.) fitting.
IntelliCarb Training Manual
SHURFLO
The pump can be operated on regulated C
drives the pump and is not in contact with the syrup. Separate syrup and gas chambers prevent
contamination, foaming, and purging of the tubing when the B-I-B has emptied.
The pump retains pressure in the outlet line, operating only when syrup is needed. When the dispenser
valve is opened, the pump reacts to the pressure drop by operating to maintain pressure in the line.
When the dispenser is closed, the incoming gas and output syrup pressures equalize and the pump
stops. Actual dynamic line pressure is dependant upon system losses as outlined in the section
"Pumping Capability".
The automatic "sold-out" feature within the pump ensures consistent syrup delivery right up to the
moment the B-I-B is empty. Vacuum produced by the pump evacuates the syrup within the bag. Once the
preset vacuum point is achieved and held, incoming gas pressure to the pump is shutoff causing the
outlet syrup pressure to drop to zero. When a new B-I-B is installed, the vacuum drops, the pump
automatically restarts and pressurizes the system. The SHURflo Beverage Gas Pump ensures quality
from the first drink to the last.
Beverage Gas Pumps are intended for soda syrups and low viscosity concentrates that do not contain
solids.
The use of a SHURflo Juice Pump (-09) is recommended for concentrates containing soft solids, classed
as round, up to 0.025 in. [0.6 mm] or that are of higher viscosity than soda syrups.
When concentrates contain pulp classed as long/stringy, seed particles or are exceptionally viscous, the
Particulate Juice Pump (-10) should be used as it can handle soft solids up to
Standard gas pump models are for installations where geographic elevation is less than 5000 ft.[1523M].

Distances shown are the results of tests conducted at 70°F
[21°C] ambient with a static pressure of 85 psi. [5.8 bar] to the
pump. All distances assume a dynamic pressure of 35 psi. [2.38
The chart indicates that heavy syrup with 1/2 oz./sec [15mL] flow-rate (per the illustration) can be
sustained over a horizontal distance of 500 ft.
[152M] when 3/8" I.D. [10mm] tubing is used.
Feet: Take
1% of 500 ft. (500 x 1%) = 5. Which then is multiplied by the 22 ft. vertical, (22 x 5) =
110 ft.
Subtract this product from the 500 ft.
(horz./vert.) is possible, while the example only requires a distance of 370 ft.
Meters: Take

Subtract this product from the 152
3% of 152M (152 x 3%) = 4.56. Which then is multiplied by the 6.7M vertical, (4.56 x
M (152-30.5)=121.5. The results indicate a 121.5M tubing run
(horz./vert.) is possible, while the example only requires a distance of 113M.
NOTE: Had the example above resulted in a value that was equal to, or less than the nec-
essary total tubing run, consider a larger I.D. tubing or installation of a pum
using a SHURflo Vacuum Regulator.
Pumps in Series for Long Distances
Long tubing runs or high vertical lift can be achieved by installing pumps in series. Standard
SHURflo Beverage pumps are not designed to have positive pressure on the inlet side. The
SHURflo Vacuum Regulating Valve
source. By positioning a VRV at the inlet of the secondary pump, incoming pressure is
to zero, permitting syrup to be drawn in under vacuum.
SHURflo can recommend several other methods to meet the requirements for a particular installation,
including Pressurized Inlet Pumps or Accumulators. Contact SHURflo for more information.

Pump Sanitizing / Winterizing
Sanitization of the SHURflo Beverage Gas Pump is required. The frequency of Sanitization is
dependant on the concentrate type and its manufacturer’s requirements.
affect the frequency of this procedure are: temperature, concentrate volatility, facility conditions,
installation and equipment. The sanitizing procedure fulfills a required 10 minute contact time
with a 200 ppm Sodium Hypochlorite solution. Refer to SHURflo Service Bulletin #1025 for the
N.S.F. listed sanitizing procedure for the SHURflo pump
freezing
Service Bulletin #1025 for complete winterizing procedure. Refer to the equipment
manufacturer’s instructions for sanitizing and winterizing procedure for carbonators, dispensers
and tubing.
Pumps that have been winterized and/or out of service for a period of time should be sanitized prior to
being placed back in service.
Never apply pressure to the pump’s liquid inlet. Pressurized tanks may damage internal
components if used to sanitize or purge fluid from the pump
(below 32° F [0°C]) must be purged of fluid to prevent damage. Refer to SHURflo
Should your unit fail to operate properly, check that there is power to the unit and that the hopper
contains ice. If the unit does not dispense, check the following chart under the appropriate symptoms to
aid in locating the defect.
