Safe Installation Dos and Don’ts
Warning
n
Read the following warnings before beginning an
installation. Failure to do so may result in possible death
or serious injury.
• DO NOT exhaust CO2 gas (example: syrup pump) into

cellars, and closets.
• DO NOT throw or drop a CO2 cylinder. Secure the
cylinder(s) in an upright position with a chain.
• DO NOT connect the CO2 cylinder(s) directly to the
product container. Doing so will result in an explosion
causing possible death or injury. It is best to connect the
CO2 cylinder(s) to a regulator(s).
• DO NOT store CO2 cylinders in temperature above 125°F
(51.7°C) near furnaces, radiator or sources of heat.
• DO NOT release CO2 gas from old cylinder.
• DO NOT touch refrigeration lines inside units; some may
exceed temperatures of 200°F (93.3°C).
NOTICE: All utility connections and fixtures must be sized,
installed, and maintained in accordance with Federal, State,
and Local codes.
• DO adhere to all National and Local Plumbing and
Electrical Safety Codes.
• DO turn OFF incoming electrical service switches when
servicing, installing, or repairing equipment.
• DO check that all flare fittings are tight. This check must
be performed with a wrench to ensure a quality seal.
• DO inspect pressure on regulators before starting up
equipment.
• DO protect eyes when working around refrigerants.
• DO use caution when handling metal surface edges of
all equipment.
• DO handle CO2 cylinders and gauges with care. Secure
cylinders properly against abrasion.

Select a location for the refrigeration unit that meets
the requirements of the building plans, local codes, and
personnel. The unit must be positioned for free airflow as
well as for future service. The following requirements must
be met:
• 300 GPH (1135 LTR/hr) potable water supply (all models)
• Beverage quality CO2 gas (bulk or bottled supply) with a
minimum 3/8" (0.96 cm) line
• One Bag-In-Box (BIB) container of each post mix syrup
flavor.
NOTE: Refer to nameplate on side of refrigeration unit for
voltage and amperage specifications. Make all electrical
connections at the junction box located at the top rear of
unit. Optional equipment may require additional power
supplies.
NOTE: Potable water connections to the equipment must
comply with local plumbing code requirements, particularly
the back-flow prevention requirements.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) displaces oxygen. Exposure to a
high concentration of CO2 gas causes tremors, which
are followed rapidly by loss of consciousness and
suffocation. If a CO2 gas leak is suspected, particularly
in a small area, immediately ventilate the area before
repairing the leak. CO2 lines and pumps must not be
installed in an enclosed space. An enclosed space can
be a cooler or small room or closet. This may include
convenience stores with glass door self serve coolers. If
you suspect CO2 may build up in an area, venting of the
BIB pumps and/or CO2 monitors must be utilized.
Prior to scheduling Multiplex Equipment installer, the
following steps listed below must be completed:
1. Usable floor sewer drain.
2. Refer to electrical requirement chart for your model.
3. Usable potable water.
4. CO2 Gas (bulk or bottled supply); minimum 3/8" line.
5. One 5 gallon (19 L) container or Bag-In-Box container of
each post mix syrup flavor.
6. A 120 VAC, 3-wire, 1 Phase, 60 Hz dual wall receptacle
for optional electrical equipment (domestic only).
NOTE: Do not schedule the authorized Multiplex Equipment
Installer until all of the above have been completed. It will
only result in charge-backs to you for the unnecessary trips.
REQUIREMENTS FOR POST MIX REFRIGERATION UNITS
• Conduit can be run through floor or ceiling chase.
• 60°F (15.6°C) minimum and 100.4°F (38°C) maximum
operating ambient conditions.

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.
Aerosol Foam
Chase
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
wrench to tighten the 1/2" coupling to 40 ft-lbs and
3/8" 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.
Caution
,
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), must be familiar with
local codes and regulations, and must be experienced
with this type of remote refrigeration equipment.
2. As a condition of the warranty, the check, test and
start-up 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.
Part Number 020002365 08/25/2015 27
Installation Section 2
PRECHARGED REFRIGERATION LINE REQUIREMENTS
Important
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 (7.6 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
(7.6 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.
Discharge Line
Condenser Trap
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" (30.5 cm), 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.
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 evacuate
the tubing to 250 microns. Then recharge the tubing
with 4 ounces of appropriate refrigerant.
Caution
,
Excess refrigeration tubing must be properly cared for
before being connected to either the remote condenser
or the refrigeration unit.
28 Part Number 020002365 08/25/2015
Section 2 Installation
CONNECTING THE PRECHARGED REFRIGERATION
LINES
Important
When the connections are made, the seal in the
couplings are broken and if removed for any reason, the
refrigerant charge will be lost.
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, the lines are no longer charged or if the line set is
too long for the application, refer to “Installing the Multiplex
Remote Condenser”.
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.
Testing
TESTING CO2 CIRCUIT FOR LEAKS
It is advisable to test the system for leaks before turning
ON the water supply to the carbonator and connecting the
syrup tanks. If a leak does exist, it will be easier and faster to
make any correction.
1. Turn ON the CO2 supply and adjust the primary
regulator to 90 psi (6.2 bar)(620528.156099999906
Pascals).
2. Position the CO2 tank changeover valve handle (if
applicable) toward this regulator.
3. Move the air/CO2 changeover valve to the CO2 position
(if applicable).
4. Allow the CO2 gas to enter the system.
5. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes before turning OFF the CO2 tank
valve. This will allow the lines to expand under pressure.
6. Turn OFF the CO2 tank valve. Observe the pressure
on the high pressure gauge (not the 90 psi [6.2 bar]
[620528.156099999906 Pascals] operating gauge).
The needle may drop approximately 1 psi (.09 bar)
(6894.75729 Pascals), but must remain constant and
not lose pressure. Wait for several minutes.
If pressure continues to fall, this indicates there is a leak in
the system which must be corrected.
The greater the leak, the faster the pressure will drop. The
smaller the leak, the slower the gauge will drop.
It may be necessary to use a soap solution at all
connections to locate a very small leak.
CO2 gas must be present on all valves of the tower(s)
NOTE: All soap solution must be rinsed thoroughly from
tubing upon completion of testing.
TESTING SYRUP CIRCUIT 5 GALLON TANKS ONLY
Before connecting the syrup tanks to the system, the syrup
circuits must be tested for leaks with CO2 gas.
1. Connect an empty syrup tank to pre-mix syrup circuits.
2. Connect one of the CO2 gas quick disconnects to this
tank. Allow the tank to fill with CO2 gas.
3. Observe the pressure of the primary CO2 tank regulator
(not the 90 psi [6.2 bar][620528.156099999906
Pascals]).
4. Allow the CO2 tank pressure to remain ON for a few
seconds. This will allow the lines to expand to operating
conditions.
5. Turn OFF the CO2 tank cylinder.
6. Check all connections from the syrup tank through the
connections in the water bath area to all fittings at rear
of tower.
7. Check syrup circuitry on the tower by activating the
valve.
8. Follow the same procedure for the diet pre-mix
beverage circuit.
If no leaks are found in the syrup circuits and the
carbonated water circuit, the system is ready to be insulated
and placed in operation.

Installation Section 2
Preparing Ice Bank
BUILDING AN ICE BANK
1. At this time, fill the unit water bath tank to the top,
or within 1/2" (13 mm) of the top minimum, of the
overflow tube. Use a garden hose or another water
supply to do this.
NOTE: A manual fill valve is incorporated into the water
circuit to the carbonator tank. This valve can be used to
manually add water lost for any reason. Do not leave this
valve ON constantly, only use it for filling and topping off.
The water bath must be drained, flushed, and refilled every
six months.
2. Main power to unit must be on. Power delay of 30
seconds occurs when power applied. "Pd30"
3. Press COMP/AGIT switch on keypad display.
4. Agitator will come on immediately and compressor
delay will start. "Cd99" will count from 180 to 0.
NOTE: Turn this switch OFF to perform any operations in the
water bath area.
With water bath water temperature of 65°F (18°C), ice must
begin to form on the evaporator coils in approximately 2
hours. The unit will build a full ice bank in approximately 4
to 6 hours (depending on ambient water temperature).
7. Turn on the circulator and carbonator. The carbonator
must run for approximately 1 to 3 minutes and shut off.
The circulator must run continuously. Verify that water
is returning to the water bath through the return bulk
head fitting.
Important
Wait until a thin layer of ice has begun to form on the
evaporator before proceeding any further.
8. Go to the tower(s) and brix the valves. Using a syrup
separator and volume cup, adjust the flow rate of the
carbonated water to two fluid ounces per second. Then,
using the separator and a brix cup, adjust the syrup
flow rate for a ratio of carbonated water to syrup to 5
to 1.
Installation Checklist
Check all fittings and conduit attachments for leaks.
Check all insulated connections to make sure that
they are sealed.

These refrigeration units are remote refrigeration units
that derive their peak capacity from the reserve ice bank
produced by the operation of the compressor. These
systems are controlled to cycle ON and OFF by the
operation of the ice bank control. The sensing probe that
controls the ice bank is located on an adjustable bracket in
the water bath.
Start-Up
PLACING EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION
Before placing equipment in operation, verify that all
requirements for roof mounted Remote Condenser units
(if applicable) have been satisfied. Refer to the instructions
on installing the Remote Condenser. Verify proper supply
power to unit.
1. Fill the refrigeration unit water bath tank with water to
within 1/2" (13 mm) of the top of the overflow tube.
2. Open the manual water shut-off valve to the water
cooled condenser (if applicable). Refer to page 3-3 for
control programming sequence.
3. Press “Comp/Agit” to begin building an ice bank.
4. Ice will begin to form on the evaporator coils in
approximately 2 hours.
5. The refrigeration unit will build an ice bank in
approximately 4 to 6 hours.
6. If optional CO2/Water Control Panel has been installed
on the refrigeration unit, refer to the installation
instructions for operation and testing the circuits for
leaks.
7. The carbonation circuits “A” and “B,” as well as the
syrup circuits must be checked for leaks and possible
cross circuits before turning ON the water supply to
carbonator pumps.
8. Turn on main water supply. Set incoming regulator to
55 psi on the CO2/Water control panel. Once water is
supplied to the unit, air needs to be purged from the
carbonator tank. Do so by lifting press relief valve tab
until water comes out of relief valve.
9. Set bag-in-box syrup tank push pressure CO2 regulator
to 60 psi.
PLACING THE SYRUP SYSTEM IN OPERATION
1. Open the CO2 gas supply valve at CO2 tanks or bulk
tank. Adjust the CO2 pressure to 90 psi (6.2 bar).
2. Open relief valve on top of the carbonator tank for 4
seconds to bleed off air in tank.
3. Verify the water supply to unit is on.
4. Press the switch labeled “Carb A” (and “Carb B” if
applicable). Allow carbonator to run and cycle OFF.
5. Press the switch labeled “CIRC A” (and “CIRC B” if
applicable).
6. Activate all vales until a smooth, continuous flow or
carbonated water and non-carbonated water appear at
the valves.
7. Allow at least 1 hour before proceeding to calibration
instructions. You may complete the sanitizing
instructions during this period.

Section 3 Operation
Sequence of Operation
ELECTRONIC CONTROL
Prerequisites
• Potable water must be connected to the carbonator
pump circuit.
• The ice bank water bath water must cover the
evaporator. The compressor will not start unless the ice
bank control probes are immersed in water.
• CO2 must be supplied.
Initial Power-up
The control has a 30-second delay when power is
connected, or disconnected and reconnected. The display
will show Pd30 - power delay and 30 seconds left in the
countdown cycle.
Normal Operation
NOTE: This sequence of operation includes systems with up
to two recirculation/carbonation circuits. Your model may
not employ a second circuit or second carbonation pump.
Pressing the COMP/AGIT button will start the water
bath agitator immediately and initiate the 180 second
compressor delay. The display will show Cd99 (compressor
delay & 99 seconds) and will start to count down from 99
seconds after the first 81 seconds have elapsed. After 180
seconds the compressor and condenser fan motor energize
and the COMP/AGIT LED flashes. Pressing the CARB A and
CARB B buttons will power the carbonator tank liquid level
control. The corresponding LED flashes to indicate the
pump is running. Pressing the CIRC A & CIRC B buttons will
immediately energize the circulating pumps and energize
the LED constantly. The display will show the circulating
temperature and show the A circuit. When two circuits are
used, the readout will alternate between A and B circuits
every 5 seconds.
The compressor and condenser fan will continue to run
until ice contacts the ice bank control probe closest to the
evaporator. When ice contacts the probe, the COMP/AGIT
LED lights constantly and the compressor and condenser
fan motor de-energize.
As the ice bank melts, the ice bank control probe will lose
contact with the ice; the LED will flash and the compressor
and condenser fan motor will restart. This cycle will repeat
as required depending on load.
Power Interruption
During a power interruption the control will resume from
the point of interruption when power is reapplied and the
time delay expires. Any switches/components that were
energized when power was interrupted will be energized
when power is reapplied.

Warning
n
Flush sanitizing solution from syrup system.
Residual sanitizing solution left in system could create a
health hazard.
Warning
n
When using cleaning fluids or chemicals, rubber gloves
and eye protection must be worn.
Sanitize the beverage system at initial start-up as well
as regularly scheduled cleaning. The drain pan must be
in place under soda valves, to carry away detergent and
sanitizing agents that will be flushed through valves.
BAGINBOX SYSTEM SANITATION
The procedure below is for the sanitation of one syrup
circuit at a time. Repeat to sanitize additional circuits.
You will need the following items to clean and sanitize the
Bag-in-Box (BIB) beverage system:
• Three (3) clean buckets
• Plastic brush or soft cloth
• Mild detergent
• Unscented bleach (5% Na CL O) or Commercial sanitizer
• Bag-In-Box bag connector
1. Prepare the following in the buckets:
• Bucket 1 — warm, not too hot, tap water for rinsing.
• Bucket 2 — mild detergent and warm, not too hot,
water.
• Bucket 3 — mix a solution of unscented bleach (5%
Na CL O) or commercial sanitizer and warm, not too
hot, water. Mixture should supply 100 PPM available
chlorine (1/4 oz. bleach to 1 gallon water).
2. Disconnect the “syrup-line side” of the BIB connector.

is dispensed. Most beverage valves allow the syrup
side to be manually activated by depressing the syrup
pallet.
6. Connect Bucket 2 to system.
7. Draw detergent solution through system until solution
is dispensed.
8. Repeat steps 2-7 until all syrup circuits contain
detergent solution.
9. Allow detergent solution to remain in the system for 5
minutes.
10. Connect Bucket 3 to system.
11. Draw sanitizing solution through system until solution
is dispensed.
12. Repeat step 11 until all syrup circuits contain sanitizer
solution.
13. Allow sanitizer solution to remain in system for 15
minutes.
14. Remove nozzles and diffusers from beverage valves.
15. Scrub nozzles, diffusers and all removable valve parts
(except electrical parts) with a plastic brush or a soft
cloth and the detergent solution.
16. Soak nozzles, diffusers and removable valve parts
(except electrical parts) in sanitizer for 15 minutes.
17. Replace nozzles, diffusers and valve parts.
18. Connect Bucket 1 to system.
19. Draw rinse water through system until no presence of
sanitizer is detected.
20. Attach syrup connectors to BIBs.
21. Draw syrup through the lines to rinse the system.
Discard drinks until at least two cups of satisfactory
tasting beverage are dispensed through the valve.
FIGAL BEVERAGE SYSTEM
1. Prepare the following in three clean Figal tanks:
• Rinse tank - fill with warm tap water.
• Detergent tank - mix approved beverage system
cleaner with warm water as directed.
• Sanitizing tank - mix a solution of unscented
bleach (5% Na CL O) or commercial sanitizer and
warm to hot water. Mixture should supply 100 PPM
available chlorine (1/4 oz. bleach to 1 gallon water).
2. Disconnect all product and water lines from product
tanks and remove carbonator.
3. Locate the Figal syrup tank for the circuit to be
sanitized. Remove both quick disconnects from the
Figal syrup tank. Rinse quick disconnects in tap water.
4. Connect rinse tank to the syrup line. Draw clean rinse
water through the valve until syrup is flushed from the
system.
5. Connect detergent tank to the syrup line and draw
detergent through the valve for two minutes. Then,
allow remaining detergent to stay in the system for five
minutes.
6. Connect rinse tank to the syrup line. Draw clean rinse
water through the valve until detergent is flushed from
the system.
7. Remove valve nozzle and diffuser as shown in Daily
Cleaning instructions. Using a plastic brush or a soft
cloth and warm water, scrub the nozzle, diffuser,
bottom of the dispensing valve and cup lever, if
applicable.
8. Place removable valve parts (EXCEPT solenoids) in
sanitizing solution for 15 minutes.
9. Replace valve diffuser and nozzle on the beverage
valve.
10. Connect sanitizer tank to the syrup line and draw
sanitizer through the valve for two minutes. Allow
sanitizer to remain in the system for a minimum of 15
minutes.
11. Reconnect syrup and carbonated water lines.
12. Draw syrup through the lines to rinse the system.
Discard drinks until at least two cups of satisfactory
tasting beverage are dispensed through the valve.

Back-Flow Preventer Maintenance
The integral carbonator in this unit is equipped with a
back-flow preventer designed to protect the potable water
supply from CO2 contamination.
Important
The back-flow preventer must be checked at least once
every year to confirm that it is functioning properly.
1. Shut OFF power to unit.
2. Shut OFF potable water supply to unit. Do not shut OFF
CO2 supply.
3. Remove top cover panel of unit and disconnect inlet
fitting from back-flow preventer.
4. The carbonator tank is still pressurized.
5. Observe inlet of back-flow preventer #1 check for any
discharge. If there is no discharge, #1 check is OK.
Proceed to step 5. If there is discharge, proceed to step
6.
6. Observe inlet of #2 check for any discharge. If there is
no discharge, #2 check is OK. Proceed to step 7. If there
is discharge, proceed to step 6.
7. Shut OFF CO2 supply and relieve pressure from
carbonator tank.
8. Remove back-flow preventer and install new back-flow
preventer. Turn ON CO2 supply and check for leaks.

Shipping, Storage and Relocation
Caution
,
Before shipping, storing, or relocating this unit, syrup
systems must be sanitized. After sanitizing, all liquids
(sanitizing solution and water) must be purged from the
unit. A freezing environment causes residual sanitizing
solution or water remaining inside the unit to freeze,
resulting in damage to internal components.
