REFRIGERANT CHARGE

The Copeland condensing unit ships from the factory with a refrigerant charge appropriate for installation with three ice machines, and line sets of up to 50' (15.25 m) per ice machine.
The model/serial nameplate on the ice machine indicates the refrigerant type.
Additional refrigerant is required for installations using four ice machines.
The receiver is designed to hold a charge sufficient to operate the ice machine in ambient temperatures between -20°F (-28.9°C) and 120°F (54.4°C), with line set lengths of up to 50' per ice machine.
CAUTION
Do not operate condensing unit without first connecting tubing and Ice Machines to all aeroquip fittings. The diaphragm on
the aeroquip fitting is not designed for
extended use at high system pressures,
and could result in a refrigerant Leak.
FOUR ICE MACHINE INSTALLATIONS
When connecting a fourth ice machine:
Refrigeration systems and compressors with
POE oil must not be left open to the atmosphere for more than 15 minutes. Open system just prior to brazing and be prepared to hook up a vacuum pump immediately after brazing.

Installation Instructions Section 2
Guidelines for Routing Pre-Charged Line Sets
First cut a circular hole in the wall or roof for tubing routing. It is recommended that the line set end with the service valves be connected to the ice machine. The straight end will connect to the condensing unit manifold.
Follow these guidelines when routing the refrigerant lines. This will help insure proper performance and service accessibility.
1. When installing horizontal runs refrigerant oil
must be free to return to the condensing unit. Pitch all suction lines in the direction of refrigerant flow (toward condensing unit), allowing a minimum of ½” drop per 10’ of horizontal run.
2. Route excess tubing in a supported downward
horizontal spiral as shown below. Do not coil tubing vertically.
3. Insulate all suction lines, suction line shut-off
valves and components, to prevent condensation and sweating.
If a line set has a rise followed by a drop, another rise cannot be made. Likewise, if a line set has a drop followed by a rise, another drop cannot be made.
LENGTHENING OR REDUCING LINE SET LENGTHS
In most cases, by routing the line set properly, shortening will not be necessary. When shortening or lengthening is required, do so before connecting the line set to the ice machine or condensing unit. This prevents the loss of refrigerant.
The quick connect fittings on the line sets are equipped with Schraeder valves. Use these valves to recover any vapor charge from the line set. When lengthening or shortening lines, follow good refrigeration practices and insulate new tubing. Do not change the tube sizes. Evacuate the lines and place about 5-oz (142g) of vapor refrigerant charge in each line.
CAUTION
4. Keep outdoor refrigerant line runs as short as
possible.

CONNECTING A LINE SET
1. Remove the dust caps from the line set,
manifold and ice machine.
2. Apply refrigeration oil to the threads on the
quick disconnect couplers before connecting.
3. Carefully thread the female fitting by hand, to
insure proper mating of the threads.
4. Tighten the couplings with a wrench until they
bottom out.
5. Turn an additional 1/4 turn to ensure proper
brass-to-brass seating. Torque to the following specifications:
Liquid Line Suction Line
10-12 ft lb. (13.5-16.2 Nm) 35-45 ft lb. (47.5-61.0 N•m)
6. Check all fittings for leaks.
LINE SET SERVICE VALVE
Lines set service valves leave the factory in the open position.
Verify all line set service valves are open and insulated.
Important
Check condensing unit manual instructions to verify that the receiver, suction and liquid line service valves are in the open (backseated)
osition.

Ice Machine Operation Section 3

Ice Making Sequence of Operation

INITIAL START-UP OR START-UP AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
1. Water Purge
Before refrigeration begins the water pump and water dump solenoid are energized for 45 seconds, to completely purge the ice machine of old water. This feature ensures that the ice making cycle starts with fresh water.
FREEZE SEQUENCE
2. Prechill
The suction line solenoid is on (refrigerant starts to flow) for 30 seconds prior to water flow, to prechill the evaporator. The water fill valve turns on and remains on until the water level probe is satisfied.
3. Freeze
The water pump restarts after the 30 second prechill. An even flow of water is directed across the evaporator and into each cube cell, where it freezes. The water fill valve will cycle on and then off one more time to refill the water trough. When sufficient ice has formed, the water flow (not the ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After approximately 10 seconds of continual water contact, the harvest sequence is initiated. The ice machine cannot initiate a harvest sequence until a 6-minute freeze lock has been surpassed.
HARVEST SEQUENCE
4. Water purge
The water pump continues to run and the water dump valve energizes for 45 seconds, to purge the water in the sump trough. The water fill valve energizes for the last 15 seconds of the 45-second water purge. After the 45 second water purge, the water pump, water fill valve, and water dump valve de-energize.
The evaporator heaters energize at the beginning of the water purge, to warm the evaporator.
The suction line solenoid de-energizes at the beginning of the water purge, to stop refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
5. Harvest
The evaporator heaters remain energiz ed to warm the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide as a sheet off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The sliding sheet of cubes swings the water curtain out, opening the bin switch. The momentary opening and re­closing of the bin switch terminates the harvest sequence and returns the ice machine to the freeze sequence (steps 2-3).
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
6. AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
When the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest sequence, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water curtain and will hold it open. After the water curtain is held open for 7 seconds, the ice machine shuts off.

Operational Checks

GENERAL
Your Manitowoc ice machine was factory-operated and adjusted before shipment. Normally, a newly installed ice machine does not require any adjustment.
To ensure proper operation, always follow these Operational Checks when starting the ice machine:
for the first time
after a prolonged out of service period
after cleaning and sanitizing
Routine adjustments and maintenance procedures outlined in this manual are not covered by the warranty.
WATER LEVEL
The water level sensor is set to maintain the proper water level above the water pump housing. The water level is not adjustable.
If the water level is incorrect, check the water level probe for damage (probe bent, etc.). Repair or replace the probe as necessary.
ICE THICKNESS CHECK
The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8” (3.2 mm).
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when performing this check. It prevents water from splashing out of the water trough.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It should
be about 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice thickness
probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase bridge thickness, or counterclockwise to decrease bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will change the ice thickness about 1/16” (1.5 mm).

Section 3 Ice Machine Operation
HARVEST SEQUENCE WATER PURGE
The harvest sequence water purge adjustment may be used when the ice machine is hooked up to special water systems, such as a de-ionized water treatment system.
Important
The harvest sequence water purge is factory-set at 45 seconds. A shorter purge setting (with standard water supplies such as city water) is not recommended. This can increase water system cleaning and sanitizing requirements.
The harvest sequence water purge may be set to
15, 30, or 45 seconds.
During the harvest sequence water purge, the
water fill valve energizes and de-energizes by time. The water purge must be at the factory setting of 45 seconds for the water fill valve to energize during the last 15 seconds of the water purge. If it is set to less than 45 seconds, the water fill valve will not energize during the water purge.
Disconnect the electrical power t o the ice m achine at the electrical disconnect before proceeding.
For your safety, and to eliminate errors, we recommend that a qualified service technician make the harvest water purge adjustment.

Maintenance

General

You are responsible for maintaining the ice machine in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Maintenance procedures are not covered by the warranty.
WARNING
If you do not understand the procedures or the safety precautions that must be followed, call your local Manitowoc service representative to perform the maintenance procedures for you.
We recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures every six months to ensure reliable, trouble-free operation and maximum ice production.

Ice Machine Inspection

WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and the remote condenser at the electric service switch before cleaning the condenser.

Exterior Cleaning

Clean the area around the ice machine as often as necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient operation.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Component Specifications and Diagnostics

Section 6Service
MAIN FUSE Function
The control board fuse stops ice machine operation if electrical components fail causing high amp draw.
Specifications
The main fuse is 250 Volt, 7 amp.
Check Procedure
WARNING
High (line) voltage is applied to the control board (terminals #55 and #56) at all times. Removing the control board fuse or moving the toggle switch to OFF will not remove the power supplied to the control board.
1. If the bin switch light is on with the water
curtain closed, the fuse is good.
WARNING
Disconnect electrical power to the entire ice machine before proceeding.
2. Remove the fuse. Check the resistance across
the fuse with an ohmmeter.
Reading Result
Open (OL) Replace fuse
Closed (O) Fuse is good
BIN SWITCH Function
Bin switch operation is controlled by movement of the water curtain. The bin switch has two main functions:
1. Terminating the harvest cycle and returning the
ice machine to the freeze cycle. This occurs when the bin switch is opened and
closed again within 7 seconds during the harvest cycle.
2. Automatic ice machine shut-off.
If the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest cycle, the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water curtain and holds it open. After the water curtain is held open for 7 seconds, the ice machine shuts off.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice is removed from the storage bin to allow the sheet of cubes to drop clear of the water curtain. As the water curtain swings back to the operating position, the bin switch closes and the ice machine restarts.
Important
The water curtain must be ON (bin switch closed) to start ice making.
Specifications
The bin switch is a magnetically operated reed switch. The magnet is attached to the lower right corner of the water curtain. The switch is attached to the evaporator mounting bracket.
6-2
The bin switch is connected to a varying D.C. voltage circuit. (Voltage does not remain constant.)
NOTE: Because of a wide variation in D.C. voltage, it is not recommended that a voltmeter be used to check bin switch operation.
Continued on next page
Section 6 Service
Bin Switch Check Procedure
1. Set the toggle switch to OFF.
2. Watch the bin switch light on the control
board.
3. Move the water curtain toward the evaporator.
The bin switch must close. The bin switch light “on” indicates the bin switch has closed properly.
4. Move the water curtain away from the
evaporator. The bin switch must open. The bin switch light “off” indicates the bin switch has opened properly.
Ohm Test
1. Disconnect the bin switch wires to isolate the
bin switch from the control board.
2. Connect an ohmmeter to the disconnected bin
switch wires. Set the ohmmeter to the 10,000­ohm scale.
3. Cycle the bin switch by opening and closing
the water curtain.
4. With the bin switch open: Resistance readings
of more than 30,000 ohms indicate a correctly operating bin switch.
5. With the bin switch closed: Resistance
readings of less than 70 ohms indicates a correctly operating bin switch.
Water Curtain Removal Notes
The water curtain must be on (bin switch closed) to start ice making. While a freeze cycle is in progress, the water curtain can be removed and installed at any time without interfering with the electrical control sequence.
If the ice machine goes into harvest sequence while the water curtain is removed, one of the following will happen:
Water curtain remains off:
When the harvest cycle time reaches 3.5 minutes and the bin switch is not closed, the ice machine stops as though the bin were full.
Water curtain is put back on:
If the bin switch closes prior to reaching the
3.5 minute point, the ice machine immediately returns to another freeze sequence prechill.
Important
Any reading between 70 and 30,000 ohms, regardless of curtain position, indicates a defective bin switch

Control Board
General
P-Model control boards use a dual voltage transformer. This means only one control board is needed for both 115V and 208-230V use.
The control board along with inputs controls all electrical components, including the ice machine sequence of operation. Prior to diagnosing, you must understand how the inputs affect the control board operation.
Refer to specific component specifications (inputs), wiring diagrams and ice machine sequence of operation sections for details.
SV1588
As an example, refer to “Ice Thickness Probe” in the service section of this manual for information relating to how the probe and control board functions together.
This section will include items such as:
How a harvest cycle is initiated
How the harvest light functions with the probe
Freeze time lock-in feature

Section 6 Service
SAFETY LIMITS General
In addition to standard safety controls, such as high pressure cut-out, the control board has two built in safety limit controls which protect the ice machine from major component failures.
Safety Limit #1: If the freeze time reaches 60 minutes, the control board automatically initiates a harvest cycle. If three consecutive 60-minute freeze cycles occur, the ice machine stops.
Safety Limit #2: If the harvest time reaches 3.5 minutes, the control board automatically returns the ice machine to the freeze cycle. If three consecutive
3.5 minute harvest cycles occur, the ice machine stops.
Determining Which Safety Limit Stopped The Ice Machine
When a safety limit condition causes the ice machine to stop, the harvest light on the control board continually flashes on and off. Use the following procedures to determine which safety limit has stopped the ice machine.
1. Move the toggle switch to OFF.
2. Move the toggle switch back to ICE.
3. Watch the harvest light. It will flash one or two
times, corresponding to safety limits 1 and 2, to indicate which safety limit stopped the ice
machine. After safety limit indication, the ice machine will restart and run until a safety limit is exceeded again.
Analyzing Why Safety Limits May Stop the Ice Machine
According to the refrigeration industry, a high percentage of compressors fail as a result of external causes. These can include: flooding or starving expansion valves, dirty condensers, water loss to the ice machine, etc. The safety limits protect the ice machine (primarily the compressor) from external failures by stopping ice machine operation before major component damage occurs.
The safety limit system is similar to a high pressure cut-out control. It stops the ice machine, but does not tell what is wrong. A service technician must analyze the system to determine what caused the high pressure cut-out, or a particular safety limit, to stop the ice machine.
The safety limits are designed to stop the ice machine prior to major component failures, most often a minor problem or something external to the ice machine. This may be difficult to diagnose, as many external problems occur intermittently.
Example: An ice machine stops intermittently on safety limit #1 (long freeze times). The problem could be a low ambient temperature at night, a water pressure drop, the water is turned off one night a week, etc.
When a high pressure cut-out or a safety limit stops the ice machine, they are doing what they are supposed to do. That is, stopping the ice machine before a major component failure occurs.
Refrigeration and electrical component failures may also trip a safety limit. Eliminate all electrical components and external causes first. If it appears that the refrigeration system is causing the problem, use Manitowoc’s Refrigeration System Operational Analysis Table, along with detailed charts, checklists, and other references to determine the cause.
The following checklists are designed to assist the service technician in analysis. However, because there are many possible external problems, do not limit your diagnosis to only the items listed.

Safety Limit Notes
Because there are many possible external
problems, do not limit your diagnosis to only
the items listed in this chart.
A continuous run of 100 harvests
automatically erases the safety limit code.
The control board will store and indicate only
one safety limit – the last one exceeded
If the toggle switch is moved to the off
position and then back to the ICE position
prior to reaching the 100-harvest point, the last
safety limit exceeded will be indicated.
If the harvest light did not flash prior to the ice
machine restarting, then the ice machine did
not stop because it exceeded a safety limit.
Safety Limit Stand-By Mode:
The first time a safety limit shut down occurs, the ice machine turns off for 60 minutes (Stand-by Mode). The ice machine will then automatically restart to see if the problem re-occurs. During the Stand-By Mode the harvest light will be flashing. If the same safety limit is reached a second time (the problem has re-occurred) the ice machine will initiate a safety limit shut down and remain off until it is manually restarted. During a safety limit shut down the harvest light will be flashing.
Re-start the ice machine using the following procedure:
1. Move the ICE/OFF/CLEAN switch to OFF
and then back to ICE. A. If the safety limit feature has stopped the
ice machine, it will restart after a short delay. Proceed to step 2.
B. If the ice machine does not restart, see “Ice
machine does not operate” Section 5.
2. Allow the ice machine to run to determine if
the condition is reoccurring.
If the ice machine stops again, the condition has reoccurred, and the cause must be determined.
If the ice machine continues to run, the condition has corrected itself. Allow the ice machine to continue running.

Ice Thickness Probe (Harvest Initiation)

A
HOW THE PROBE WORKS Manitowoc’s electronic sensing circuit does not rely on refrigerant pressure, evaporator temperature, water levels or timers to produce consistent ice formation.
Section 6Service
To allow the service technician to initiate a harvest cycle without delay, this feature is not used on the first cycle after moving the toggle switch OFF and back to ICE.
As ice forms on the evaporator, water (not ice) contacts the ice thickness probe. After the water completes this circuit across the probe continuously for 6-10 seconds, a harvest cycle is initiated.
SV1589G
Ice Thickness Probe
HARVEST/SAFETY LIMIT LIGHT This light’s primary function is to be on as water contacts the ice thickness probe during the freeze cycle, and remain on throughout the entire harvest cycle. The light will flicker as water splashes on the probes.
MAXIMUM FREEZE TIME The control system includes a built-in safety that will automatically cycle the ice machine into harvest after 60 minutes in the freeze cycle.
ICE THICKNESS CHECK The ice thickness probe is factory-set to maintain the ice bridge thickness at 1/8” (3.2 mm).
NOTE: Make sure the water curtain is in place when performing this check. It prevents water from splashing out of the water trough.
1. Inspect the bridge connecting the cubes. It
should be about 1/8” (3.2 mm) thick.
2. If adjustment is necessary, turn the ice
thickness probe adjustment screw clockwise to increase bridge thickness, or counterclockwise to decrease bridge thickness.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment 1/3 of a turn will change the ice thickness about 1/16” (1.5 mm).
DJUSTING
SCREW
The light’s secondary function is to continuously flash when the ice machine is shut off on a safety limit, and to indicate which safety limit shut off the ice machine.
FREEZE TIME LOCK-IN FEATURE The ice machine control system incorporates a freeze time lock-in feature. This prevents the ice machine from short cycling in and out of harvest.
The control board locks the ice machine in the freeze cycle for six minutes. If water contacts the ice thickness probe during these six minutes, the harvest light will come on (to indicate that water is in contact with the probe), but the ice machine will stay in the freeze cycle. After the six minutes are up, a harvest cycle is initiated. This is important to remember when performing diagnostic procedures on the ice thickness control circuitry.

Water Level Control Circuitry

WATER LEVEL PROBE LIGHT
The water level probe circuit can be monitored by watching the water level light. The water level light is on when water contacts the probe, and off when no water is in contact with the probe. The water level light functions any time power is applied to the ice machine, regardless of toggle switch position.

FREEZE CYCLE WATER LEVEL SETTING
During the freeze cycle, the water level probe is set to maintain the proper water level above the water pump housing. The water level is not adjustable. If the water level is incorrect, check the water level probe for damage (probe bent, etc.). Repair or replace the probe as necessary.
FREEZE CYCLE CIRCUITRY
Manitowoc’s electronic sensing circuit does not rely on float switches or timers to maintain consistent water level control. During the freeze cycle, the water inlet valve energizes (turns on) and de-energizes (turns off) in conjunction with the water level probe located in the water trough.
During the first 45 seconds of the Freeze Cycle:
The water inlet valve is on when there is no water in contact with the water level probe. The water inlet valve turns off after water contacts the water level probe for 3 continuous seconds. The water inlet valve will cycle on and off as many times as needed to fill the water trough.
After 45 seconds into the Freeze Cycle:
The water inlet valve will cycle on, and then off one more time to refill the water trough. The water inlet valve is now off for the duration of the freeze sequence.
HARVEST CYCLE CIRCUITRY
The water level probe does not control the water inlet valve during the harvest cycle. During the harvest cycle water purge, the water inlet valve energizes (turns on) and de-energizes (turns off) strictly by time. The harvest water purge adjustment dial may be set at 15, 30 or 45 seconds.
CONTROL BOARD
HARVEST WATER PURGE
ADJUSTMENT
WATER INLET VALVE SAFETY SHUT-OFF
The water inlet valve will energize only during the first six minutes of the freeze cycle. In the event of a water level probe failure, this feature limits the water inlet valve to a six-minute on time. Regardless of the water level probe input, the control board automatically shuts off the water inlet valve if it remains on for 6 continuous minutes. This is important to remember when performing diagnostic procedures on the water level control circuitry.
SV1617
NOTE: The water purge must be at the factory setting of 45 seconds for the water inlet valve to
energize during the last 15 seconds of the Water Purge. If set at 15 or 30 seconds the water inlet valve will not energize during the harvest water purge
