GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
When using electric appliances, basic precautions
The beverage/ice machine must be grounded in
accordance with national and local electrical codes.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
NOTE: The 208/230V units are not equipped with a cord.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance — if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
must always be followed, including the following:
a. Read all the instructions before using the
appliance.
b. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is
necessary when an appliance is used near
children.
c. Do not contact moving parts.
d. Only use attachments recommended or sold by
the manufacturer.
e. Do not use outdoors.
f. For a cord-connected appliance, the following
shall be included:
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug,
grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before servicing or cleaning.
• Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Contact the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
g. For a permanently connected appliance — Turn
the power switch to the off position when the
appliance is not in use and before servicing or
cleaning.
h. For an appliance with a replaceable lamp —
Always unplug before replacing the lamp.

2. Connect the circulating water by connecting one line
to the circulating pump outlet line (3/8" barb) and
clamp in place. Connect the other line to the
bulkhead return fitting located by the agitator motor
(3/8" barb) and clamp in place.
CONNECTING INSULATED SUPPLY LINES
Connecting the insulated beverage conduit at the
refrigeration unit
1. Route the Multipar beverage conduit from the
refrigeration unit to the dispensing station(s)
according to the instructions enclosed with the
conduit kit. Always route the conduit in a neat and
orderly manner.
NOTE: Multipar conduit is color coded for easy
identification of lines. When making connections always
attach lines requiring the longest connection from the
insulation first. The remaining lines can be trimmed as
required to make the routing neat and secure.
3. Locate the two blue carbonated water lines of the
Multipar conduit. Attach one of the blue lines to the
tee fitting located on top of the carbonator tank.
Attach the other blue line to John Guest elbow fitting
on the stainless coil labeled “8”.
4. Locate the black plain water line of the Multipar
conduit. Attach this line to the elbow fitting on the
stainless coil labeled “W”.
5. The remaining lines of the Multipar conduit are syrup
supply lines and must be attached to the appropriate
elbow fittings on stainless steel syrup coils. Note the
numbered lines attached to the opposite end of each
syrup coil when making connections.
2. Insert the Multipar conduit into the outlet opening on
the left hand side of unit. Conduit insulation must
extend inside of opening in unit for proper operation
of equipment.

INSULATING CONNECTIONS
1. Make sure all exposed carbonated water and syrup
lines are well insulated on towers to conduit, conduit
junctions, refrigeration unit to conduits, and drivethrough
junction.
2. To insulate the above, use the leftover conduit sections
and tape.
3. Cut the conduit sections to fit snugly over the exposed
lines and fittings. A little extra time spent doing a
thorough job initially will eliminate a call back in several
days to make corrections.
NOTE: Do not inject foam material directly on the
connections where the tubing connects to the barb fittings or
directly on poly tubing.
NOTE: You must use a wrench on the body to keep the body
from turning while tightening the nut with the second wrench.
If the body turns excessively, the piercing seal will be
damaged.
4. Use proper wrenches to tighten an additional 1/4 turn
(90°). This final 1/4 turn is necessary to ensure the
formation of a leak proof joint. Alternately, use a torque

fitting to 11 ft-lbs.
5. Leak check all your connections. If you detect any leaks,
repair and recheck.
Condenser and Pre-charged Lines Installation
Before proceeding with installation, verify that all
requirements for roof mounted remote condenser units (if
applicable) have been satisfied. If unit has a remote
condenser, refer to the instructions on installing the remote
condenser supplied with the condensing unit and refer to the
section on installation of remote refrigeration line sets.
If you are installing a remote unit, there is a
refrigeration king valve located behind the
compressor. This valve must be back seated prior to
starting the compressor. Failure to do so will short
cycle and may damage the compressor.
4. The can of foam is to be used to fill the openings
between the conduit insulation and the inside diameter
of the floor chases. The purpose is to provide an air tight
seal at the floor level to prevent foreign matter from
entering the chases. Please read the foam
manufacturer’s instructions carefully. We recommend
using the adapter with the right angle extension.
5. Insert the adapter into the openings approximately 1" to
2" (2.5 to 5.1 cm) while depressing the adapter.
6. Move the extension around throughout the area where
the foam is to be placed. Do not over fill, allow room for
expansion. If the chase opening is too deep insert a
section of the leftover conduit insulation in the opening
prior to using the foam insulation.
Aeroquip Connection
1. Lubricate male half diaphragm and synthetic rubber seal
with refrigerant oil.
2. Thread male coupling to its proper female half by hand
to ensure proper mating of threads.
3. Use proper wrenches (on coupling body hex and its
union nut) and tighten union nut until coupling bodies
“bottom”.
REMOTE CONDENSER REQUIREMENTS
APPROVED CONDENSERS
Multiplex Condenser - TS0895-271
MAC Multi-Pass Condensers
1. Installation and maintenance are to be performed only
by qualified refrigeration personnel. These technicians
must have EPA certification (USA), are familiar with local
codes and regulations, and are experienced with this
type of remote refrigeration equipment.
2. As a condition of the warranty, the check, test and startup procedure must be performed by qualified personnel.
Because of possible shipping damage, check both the
condensing unit and refrigeration unit(s) for refrigerant
leaks.
3. If the refrigeration unit is located on a roll out platform,
you must coil up to one round between the back of the
stand and the wall. This allows pull out of the
refrigeration unit for servicing.
4. If the refrigeration unit is located in a stationary location,
you must remove excess refrigeration tubing as
described below.

PRE-CHARGED REFRIGERATION LINE REQUIREMENTS
If you have a MAC Multi-Pass condenser please add
three (3) pounds additional charge.
1. Both the discharge and liquid remote condensing lines
must be kept to a minimum distance for maximum
performance. All Multiplex systems are capacity rated to
100 ft (30.5 m) tubing distance between the compressor
and condenser. If you have another brand condenser,
please add additional charge for the condenser (example:
up to three (3) pounds for a MAC condenser).
2. Any vertical rise 25 ft (7.62 m) or greater must have a
manufactured or installed trap (bend), in the discharge
refrigeration line from the compressor to the remote
condenser. A trap is necessary for every additional 25 ft
(7.62 m) vertical rise. When excessive vertical rise exists,
this trap allows oil to reach the condenser and return to
the compressor.
3. The easiest method to create a trap is to bend the tubing
(smoothly, no kinks) into the trap form.
1. Determine a position for installation that will allow access
for maintenance and is free from obstruction. Verify hot air
discharge from other condensers does not interfere with
the inlet of this condenser.
2. Install the four legs to the sides of the condenser using
the mounting bolts provided.
3. The General Contractor or Owner must secure two
treated lumber 4" x 4" x 36" (or longer). You may then
mount the remote condenser to the treated lumber.
4. The General Contractor or Owner must install a 3" pitch
pot in the roof. Then seal for weather protection.
4. The trap(s) must be of minimum height of 3" (7.6 cm) and
a width of 6" (15.2 cm) to minimize oil accumulation. The
traps can also be bent out of the refrigeration tubing.
Carefully bend the tubing down 12", and then sweep the
tubing back up.
5. It is critical that the Multiplex remote condensing line size
specifications for the specific model be maintained. The
specifications are 1/2" discharge and 3/8" liquid lines.
INSTALLING THE MULTIPLEX REMOTE CONDENSER
The Multiplex remote condensing units have a 208-230 Volt,
50/60 HZ, 1 PH fan motor that includes a permanent split
capacitor and internal overload protection. The electrical wires
from the refrigeration unit wire to the condenser. The electrical
installation must be in accordance with local codes, National
Electrical Code and regulations.
Part Number 000003912 2/102-29
5. Locate the pre-charged refrigeration lines shipped with
the system. These lines must be a correct length for the
building design. Avoiding any kinks, neatly route these
lines from the remote condenser to the refrigeration unit.
Excess refrigeration tubing must be handled in one of two
ways. When coiling the excess tubing, make sure the
inlet to the coil is at the top of the coil and the exit is the
bottom of the coil. There can be no more than one turn to
the coil. If you have more tubing, you must cut out the
excess before connecting the ends. When cutting the
tubing, you must first evacuate the refrigerant (line sets
have a positive refrigerant holding charge of two to three
ounces). After shortening and welding the tubing together
again, you must vacuum the tubing to 250 microns. Then
recharge the tubing with the appropriate refrigerant at 4
ounces per length of tubing.
Excess refrigeration tubing must be properly cared
for before being connected to either the remote
condenser or the refrigeration unit.
InstallationSection 2
CONNECTING THE PRE-CHARGED
REFRIGERATION LINES
NOTE: Before connecting the pre-charged refrigeration
lines, the refrigeration unit must be properly located,
leveled, and the water bath filled 1" (2.5 cm) below the
installed drain pipe.
1. Attach low side gauge set to service port on each
line set to verify positive pressure within the line set.
NOTE: If for any reason the lines are damaged and/or
leaking or the lines no longer charged, refer to “How To
Re-charge the Line Sets”. If the line set is too long for
the application, refer to “How to Shorten the Line Sets” in
Section 3.
2. Always make the connections at the condenser first,
using the end of the pre-charged lines with the valve
ports.
3. Connect the condenser side with the quick
connectors (discharge and liquid) up to condenser.
Refer to the section titled “Aeroquip Connection” in
these instructions.
4. Connect the refrigeration unit side with the quick
connects (discharge and liquid). Make sure to
provide a discharge trap at back of refrigeration unit,
or bend discharge line down 12" and then up
smoothly (no kinks) to provide a trap.
5. If a low refrigerant charge is detected, recover and
recharge the system adding the unit name plate
charge.
6. Repair any damages to the line sets before
proceeding.
