The operation of the Q Series ice dispenser can be divided into three main operations. They are Dispenser Activation, Ice Pick-Up and Ice Delivery.

Dispenser Activation

Dispenser activation can be accomplished with a number of different mechanisms.

• Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) Activation –User pushes the Rocking Chute, which energizes a microswitch. The energized microswitch engages the gearmotor.

• Room Key Card Activation – User places their hotel room key card into a slot on the dispenser. The room key card activates the microswitch. The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense. This action activates the gearmotor.

• Coin Operated Activation – User places one quarter into dispenser. The quarter activates the coin mechanism. The user then presses the Rocking Chute (Push for Ice) for ice dispense. This action activates the gearmotor.

Ice Pick-Up

When the customer activates the dispenser, the gearmotor inside the dispenser begins to turn.

The gearmotor shaft is attached to the paddle wheel inside the bin of the dispenser. As the paddle wheel turns it picks up ice from the dispenser bin. The paddle wheel will bring the pocket containing the ice to the top of the travel area.

Ice Delivery

When the paddle wheel pocket reaches the top of its travel, the ice falls from the paddle wheel to the ice chute opening of the dispenser bin. The bin chute then directs the ice to the door assembly.

If the door closes before all the ice is dispensed, some ice may be held back by the door assembly. If the door is open, the ice will fall through the door and the ice chute. The ice chute will direct the ice into the customer’s container.

Model QFA-291 is equipped with an optional water valve. When the water valve lever is pressed, water flows through the system to the water valve nozzle.
