FOR THE INSTALLER: Environmental Limitations

FM2400

Installation Limitati ons :

This ice system is designed to be installed indoors, in a controlled environment:

Min Max Air Temperature 50 Water Temperature 40

F100

F Water Pressure 20 PSI 80 PSI Voltage -5% +10% (Compared to the na m eplate)

Operating the machine outside of the limitations is misuse and can void the warranty.

Water Limitations:

An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it takes a raw material, wa t er, and turns it into a food product, ice. The purity of the water is very important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing product life. This is not intended as a complete resource for water related questions, but it does offer these general recommendations:

1. Check with a water treatment specialist for a water test, and recommendations regarding filters and treatment.

2. In most cases, the water used to make ice should be filtered or treated, depending upon the water.

that will be effective in all situations.

There is no one type of water filter

That is

why a water test is important.

Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and performance. They meet or exceed the standards of UL, NSF, and CSA.

FOR THE INSTALLER

Typical Storage Bin with Extension and Bin Top

Location:

After uncrating and inspec t io n , th e u ni t is ready for installation. It is important that the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service, and minimum of 6" be allowed at the back for air circulation on air cooled models. Try to avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the machine is within the limitations described on page 3.

Storage Bin:

Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the legs into the threaded holes in the bottom of the bin. Turn the leg levelers all the way in preparation for leveling later. Return the bin to the upright position, remove paper covering the bin gasket.

Note: Do not push bin into position, but lift it there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it, can cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts.

Install the appropriate bin top on the bin, according to the in structions for the b i n to p.

Ice Maker:

The machine is heavy, so the use of a mechanical lift is recommended for lifting the machine high en ough to install on top of the bin. After the unit is placed on the bin, line it up so it is even with the back side. Secure the machine to the bin wi th th e hardware provided with the machine.

Remove the front panel and remove any shipping blocks.

FOR THE PLUMBER

CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES

Water Inlet

Air Cooled Models: The r ecommended water

supply is clean, cold water. Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, an d con ne c t to the single 3/8" male flare at the back of the cabinet. This connection supplys water to both ice making systems. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply.

Water Treatment: In most areas, a water filter of some type will be useful. In areas where the water is highly concentrated with minerals the water should be tested by a water treatment specialist, and the recommendations of the specialist regarding filtration and/or treatment should be followed.

Water Cooled Models: A separate 3/8" O.D. copper line is recommended, with a separate hand valve to control it. It is con ne cted to a single 3/8" FPT condense r inl e t at the back of the cabinet. This connection supplys water to both water cooled condensers. The water pressure to all lines must always be above 20 psig, and below 120 psig.

Drains

Air Cooled Models: There is one 3/4" FPT

drain for both ice making systems at the back of the cabinet, the drain line is of the gravity type, and 1/4 inch per foot fall is an acceptable pitch for the drain tubing. There should be a vent at the highest point of the drain line, and the ideal drain receptacle would be a trapped and vented floor drain. Use only 3/4" rigid tubing.

Water Cooled Models : In addition to the above mentioned d rain, a separate condenser drain must be installed. There is one drain for both ice making systems. Connect it to the 1/2" condenser drain connection at the back of the cabinet.

Storage Bin: A separate gravity type drain needs to be run, similar to the air cooled drain. Insulation of this drain line is recommended.

The electrical power to the unit is supplied through the junction box at the rear of the machine.

Check the nameplate (located on the back panel) for the voltage req ui re m e nt s , an d f or the minimum circuit ampacity. The machine requires a solid chassis to earth ground wire.

The ice maker should be connected to its own electrical circuit so it would be individually

fused. Voltage variation must remain within design limitations, even under starting conditions.

All external wiring must conform to national, state, and loca l el ectr ical code s. The use of a licensed electrician is required to perform the electrical installation.

FOR THE INSTALLER

Final Check List

1. Is the ice system installed indoors in a location where the air and water temperatures are controlled, and where they do not exceed the design limitat i on s?

2. Is there an electrical service disconnect within sight of the installed machine? Has the voltage been checked, and compared to nameplate requirements?

3. Have all the plumbing connections been made and checked for leaks?

4. Has the machine and bin been leveled?

5. Is there a minimum of 6" clea ran ce a t th e back of the machine for proper service access and air circulation?

6. Is the water pressure a minimum of 20 psig?

7. Has the machine been secured to the bin?

8. Is there clearance above the top of the machine for service access?

9. Is there a water shut off valve installed near the machine?

10. Have all of the shipping blocks been removed?

START UP

FM2400

Pre-Start Inspection

1. Remove the fron t and side service panel s.

2. Check that the styrofoam shipping blocks have been removed.

The following procedure applies to each of the two separate ice making systems.

Start Up

1. Go through the prestart inspection.

2. Open the hand valve, observe that water enters the water reservoir, fills the tube from the reservoir to the evaporator, and then shuts off. Check for leaks.

3. Switch the master switch on. The electrical start up sequence is now on

automatic. A. There should be a short (15 second) delay

before the gearmotor starts. B. After the gearmotor st a rts , th e compressor

will start.

4. On air cooled models, the condenser will begin to discharge warm air, on water cooled models, the water regu lat ing valve will open, and warm water will be discharged into the drain.

3. Inspect the interior of the machine for loose screws or wires. Check that no refrig eran t lines are rubbing each other. Check that the fan blade turns freely (air cooled).

4. Check that the unit is installed correctly according to the final check list (page 8).

The air cooled discharge pressure will depend upon air and water temperatures, but should be between 200 psig and 280 psig.

The water cooled discharge pressure should be constant at about 220 psig.

The above numbers are for new, clean machines, you can expect to see some values higher, and some lower between different units.

6. THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS TO MAKE, so replace the panels.

7. Clean and/or sanitize the storage bin interior, wipe off the exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

8. Give the owner/user the service manual, instruct him/her in the operation of the unit, and make sure they know who to call for service.

5. The unit should soon be making ice, if desired, the low side pressure of each system can be checked: it should be 30 psig + or - 4 psig.

The suction line temperature at the compressor is normally very cold, nearly to the point of frost up to the compressor body, but not on it.
