OPERATION - CONTROL SEQUENCE
At the start of freezing cycle the evaporator temperature sensor controls the length of the first part
of the freezing cycle. As it reaches a predetermined temperature it supplies a low voltage current
to the P.C. BOARD in order to activate the
electronic timer which takes over the control of
the freezing cycle for a pre-fixed time according to
the DIP SWITCH keys setting (see Tab. B).
NOTE. The evaporator temperature sensor,
factory pre-set, is the same for all the models
and is not adjustable in the field.
Once completed the timed portion of the freezing
cycle the system goes automatically into the
defrost cycle which has also a pre-fixed length. At
completion of the defrost cycle the P.C. BOARD
command the unit to start again a new freezing
cycle.
OPERATION - ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE
The following charts illustrate which switches and
which components are ON or OFF during a
particular phase of the icemaking cycle.
Refer to the wiring diagram for a reference.
