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.
• Recover the refrigerant charge in the condensing
unit.
• Braze tubing for the additional ice machine to
the manifold assembly.
• Replace the condensing unit line drier.
• Perform a leak test, evacuate system to 250
microns, and weigh in the correct refrigerant
charge.

General
Remote condensing unit installations consist of
vertical and horizontal line set distances between
the ice machine and the condensing unit. When
combined, they must fit within approved
specifications. The following guidelines, drawings
and calculation methods must be followed to verify
a proper installation.
35’ MAXIMUM
DISTANCE
Line set rise, drop, horizontal runs (or combinations
of these) in excess of the stated maximums will
exceed compressor start-up and design limits. This

Installation InstructionsSection 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:

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.
3-2
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has
been removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to
fall clear of the water curtain. As the water curtain
swings back to the operating position, the bin switch
re-closes and the ice machine restarts (step 1).

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).

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.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads.
They will scratch the panels.
Cleaning the Condenser
WARNING
Disconnect electric power to the ice machine and
the remote condensing unit at the electric service
switch before cleaning the condenser.
A dirty condenser restricts airflow, resulting in
excessively high operating temperatures. This
reduces ice production and shortens component life.

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.
ReadingResult
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 6Service
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
• Maximum freeze time
• Diagnosing ice thickness control circuitry

Section 6Service
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.

Section 6Service
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.

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
