Pre-Installation

Other Applications:

Check sales literature for additional information.

Electrical:

Check the nameplate for electrical requirements. The nameplate is located on the back of the ice machine. If the information on the nameplate is different from other published information, go by the nameplate data.

While the model and serial number are on the nameplate, a serial number plate is located at the front of the machine, behind the left front panel and to the right of the purge valve.

Nameplate

Serial Number Plate

Water:

There is no such thing as pure water. All water contains some impurities. There are two ways water carries the impurities: suspended and dissolved. Suspended solids can be filtered out. Dissolved solids must be diluted or treated. Water filters are recommended to remove suspended solids. Some filters have treatment in them for suspended solids. Check with a water treatment service for a recommendation.

Cube Ice machines use more water than what ends up in the bin as ice. While most water is used during ice making, a portion is designed to “rinse" out the water system to keep hard water scale from clogging up the machine. That water rinse, combined with water filters, prolongs the times between needed water system cleaning.

Service Technicians: All models covered here come set from the factory with at a “Standard” water rinse. Standard water rinse is designed to be compatible with typical water conditions. The machine may be adjusted to a different water rinse after start up. If the prior ice machine worked acceptably well with the local water conditions, leave the machine at the factory setting. If severe water conditions are present, and water filters do not solve the problem acceptably, adjust the machine to use more water. If water conditions are excellent, adjust the machine to use less water. See the Adjustments section.

Note: Water use adjustments are customer convenience adjustments; they are NOT factory defects and are NOT covered by warranty.

Location & Assembly

CME1356R and CME1656R

Locate the ice machine indoors. A 6 inch minimum clearance on the back and left sides is required for the proper operation and service of this machine.

Locate the remote condenser as close as possible to the ice machine. See page 11 for details.

Unpacking and Assembly:

Begin with unpacking the ice storage bin. Remove the carton, and using part of the carton as a cushion, tip the bin on its back to remove the skid and attach the legs or casters. Note: Stacked

applications may not use casters.

Return the bin to an upright position. Check the bin top gasket for gaps and tears, fill any in with food grade sealant prior to placing the ice machine on the bin.

Note: If recycling a prior bin, be sure that the bin top gasket is in good condition or seal the ice machine to the bin with food grade sealant.

Level the top edge of the bin front to back and left to right.

If the ice machine has not been unpacked, do so now. Remove the carton from the skid. Remove shipping straps.

Remove the front panels and all packaging materials.

After all packing materials have been removed from the ice machine, lift or hoist the machine onto the bin. Align the sides and back of the machine with the sides and back of the bin.

Secure the ice machine to the bin with the two metal straps and 4 bolts provided.

Cabinet Panel Removal:

1. Remove the front panel by removing the two screws connecting the front panel to the machine.

2. Lift up at the front edge and push the top panel back until it releases from the tabs connecting it to the back panel.

Stacking - Kit KSCME6-LG-B

Only like models may be stacked. Begin after the bottom unit has been placed on the ice storage bin and secured. Stacking requires heavy duty leg kits. Casters are NOT recommended.

Note: Instructions are for either model.

Bottom Machine:

1. Remove front panel, left side panel, and top panel.

2. Remove & discard top cover from over the freezing compartment.

3. Install gasket materials to freezing compartment:

Cut about 22" of gasket material from the roll in the kit. Apply it to the back side top edge of the freezing compartment.

Cut two lengths of gasket material to fit the right side top edge of the freezing compartment and apply them.

4. Place a bead of food grade sealant to the top of the back wall’s gasket.

5. Place the shield bracket (has a large hole in the center) from the kit over the center of the freezing compartment.

Insert the tabs of the bracket into slots on the back of the unit.

6. Secure bracket at the front with screws from the kit.

7. Hang the plastic shields from the bracket installed in the prior step. Use the slots in the shields to hang them from the stainless steel hooks.

Note: The notch in the bottom of the shield goes to the front.

Note: The tabs on the shields must fit inside the ice outlet port.

8. Check the position of the shields. They must move freely and be vertical.

Note: The suction line may need to be moved slightly so the tubing clears the bracket & shields.

9. Place a bead of food grade sealant onto the top left edge of the freezing compartment.

10. Install the front-to-back support bracket over the left edge of the freezing compartment.

11. Remove two existing screws and secure the bracket to the: freezing compartment, back panel and front channel with the 2 existing screws and 1 large and 4 small screws from the kit.

Both Machines:

12. Place the top ice machine onto the bottom one. Secure together with hardware from the top machine. Remove left front and left side panels.

13. At the back of the ice machines, on the compressor end, remove the upper knock-out from the bottom machine and the lower knock out from the upper machine.

14. Place a strain relief (from the kit) into each hole.

15. Insert wire harness from kit thru strain-relief and hole in upper corner of the lower ice machine’s back panel.

NOTE: Harness is marked which end goes to which machine.

Bottom Machine:

16. Remove harness from controller terminal 7 and bin thermostat.

17. Route wire harness in lower ice machine to the controller. Connect to terminal #7. Plug the two free wires onto the thermostat terminals #1 and #2.

18. Return left side panel to its original position on the lower ice machine.

Top Machine:

19. Remove harness from controller terminal 7.

20. Route wire harness thru upper unit’s lower knock-out hole and strain relief and continue internally to the controller. Plug wire onto terminal 7 of the controller.

21. Return all panels and covers to their normal positions.

22. Complete the balance of the installation.

Service Notes:

A. The shields must be positioned so they hang vertically and move freely left to right. Their purpose is to guide the ice past the bottom machine’s evaporators and into its cube port.

B. The drain lines from each ice machine must be kept separate.

For The Installer: Remote Condenser

Locate the condenser as near as possible to the interior location of the ice maker.

Note: The location of the condenser relative to the ice machine is LIMITED by the specification on the following page.

Select the best available location, one that protects the condenser from extremes of dust, grease and sun.

Meet all applicable building codes.

Roof Attachment

Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof of the building, using the methods and practices of construction that conform to the local building codes, including having a roofing contractor secure the condenser to the roof.

Note: If using any other condenser besides the ERC411, its use must be approved by Scotsman, and a head pressure control valve must be connected to the condenser coil. The head pressure valve kit number is: RCKCME6

Precharged Line Routing

Do not connect the precharged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the Coupling Instructions for final connections.

1. Each set of pre-charged tubing lines contains a

“ diameter liquid line, and a

” diameter

discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, the end without access valves goes to the ice maker.

Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes recommended for passing the refrigerant lines through.

2. Have the roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for the refrigerant lines of 2“. Check local codes, a separate hole may be required for the electrical power supply to the condenser.

Caution: Do NOT kink the refrigerant tubing while routing it.

3. Route the refrigerant tubes thru the roof opening. Follow straight line routing whenever possible.

Note: Excess tubing may EITHER be coiled up INSIDE the building OR cut out prior to connection to the ice maker and condenser.

If the excess tubing is cut out, after re-brazing the tubing must be evacuated prior to connection to the ice maker or condenser.

If the excess tubing is to be coiled, spiral it horizontally to avoid excess trapping in the lines.

Note: A 36" service loop may be placed behind the ice machine.

5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes.

Use the following for planning the placement of the condenser relative to the ice machine

Location Limits - condenser location must not exceed ANY of the following limits:

• Maximum rise from the ice machine to the

condenser is 35 physical feet

• Maximum drop from the ice machine to the

condenser is 15 physical feet

• Physical line set maximum length is 100 feet.

• Calculated line set length maximum is 150.

Calculation Formula:

• Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in feet)

• Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in feet)

• Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in

feet)

• Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal

Run = dd+rd+hd = Calculated Line Length

Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive prior written authorization from Scotsman.

Do NOT:

• Route a line set that rises, then falls, then

rises.

• Route a line set that falls, then rises, then

falls.

Calculation Example 1:

The condenser is to be located 5 feet below the ice machine and then 20 feet away horizontally.

5 feet x 6.6 = 33. 33 + 20 = 53. This location would

be acceptable

Calculation Example 2:

The condenser is to be located 35 feet above and then 100 feet away horizontally.

35 x 1.7 = 59.5. 59.5 +100 = 159.5. 159.5 is

greater than the 150 maximum and is NOT acceptable.

Operating a machine with an unacceptable configuration will void the refrigeration system warranty.

Coupling Instructions

The couplings on the ends of the pre-charged line sets are self-sealing when installed properly. Follow these instructions carefully.

These steps must be performed by an EPA Certified Type II or higher technician.

Initial Connections

1. Remove the protector caps and plugs. Wipe the seats and threaded surfaces with a clean cloth to remove any possible foreign matter.

2. Thoroughly lubricate the threads, o-rings, diaphragms and all internal coupling surfaces with polyolester refrigerant oil.

Clean and Lubricate Couplings

3. Position the fittings on the correct connections on the condenser and ice machine.

The

“ discharge line (schrader valve end)

goes to the remote condenser fitting marked “discharge line”.

The

“ liquid line (schrader valve end) goes to

the remote condenser fitting marked “liquid line”.

The “ discharge line goes to the ice maker fitting marked “discharge line”.

The “ liquid line goes to the ice maker fitting marked “liquid line”.

Final Connections:

4a. Begin to tighten the couplings together by hand. Continue to turn the swivel nuts by hand until it is certain that the threads are properly engaged.

4b. Using two wrenches, one to rotate the swivel nut and one to hold the tubing in place, tighten each coupling.

Tighten Swivel Nut

It is CRITICAL that ONLY the NUT on the pre-charged tube be turned, or the diaphragms will be torn by the piercing knives and become loose in the refrigeration system causing severe operational problems.

Note: As the coupling is tightened, the diaphragms in the quick connect couplings will begin to be pierced. As that happens, there will be increased resistance to tightening the swivel nut.

4c. Continue tightening the swivel nut until it bottoms out or a very definite increase in resistance is felt (no threads should be showing). Do NOT overtighten.

5. Use a marker or pen to mark a line on the coupling nut and unit panel. Then tighten the coupling nut an additional one-quarter turn. The line will show the amount that the nut turns.

Note: The system charge is contained in the receiver tank of the ice machine. Only “holding" charges are present in the “pre-charged" tubing or the condenser.

Rotate Swivel Nut ¼ Turn More

6. After all connections have been made, and after the liquid line valve has been opened (do not open yet), check the couplings for leaks.

Head Pressure Control Add-On Kit

CME1356R and CME1656R

Kit: RCKCME6GX

Required when a CME1656R or CME1356R is to be connected to a Remote Condenser that is not equipped with a Head Pressure Control Valve

Required Tools: Screwdriver; Drill; 5/32" drill bit; Two Adjustable Wrenches; POE Oil

1. Remove cover from metal box.

2. Locate correct position on condenser: The RCKCME6GX can fit either a Mac G series or a Mac X series condenser.

3. Use metal box as a template, mark the positions of 4 holes to be drilled to mount the box to the condenser.

4. Drill four .157" (#22 or 5/32" bit) dia. holes.

5. Remove plastic covers from the condenser’s quick connects and those to be used to connect to the condenser.

6. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the threads and diaphragms of both the condenser’s and the kit’s quick connects. Use Polyolester oil.

7. Mount the box to the condenser with the screws from the kit.

8. Start the swivel nuts by hand.

Use a back up wrench to be certain that the

tubing is NOT ROTATING. Only the SWIVEL NUTS should be rotating!

Then use an adjustable wrench to tighten them

until no threads are seen AND a very definite resistance is felt.

9. Mark the positions of the swivel nuts to the condenser panel.

10. Rotate the swivel nuts additional one-quarter turn.

11. Place cover on metal box & secure with screws.

12. Finish the balance of the installation. Ice machine’s precharged line sets will now connect to the quick connect fittings on the metal box instead of the condenser’s.

Electrical

All models must be installed with the correct wire size and type per the National Electric Code. Locate the nameplate on the back of the cabinet and find the numbers for Voltage, Phase, Minimum Circuit Ampacity and Maximum Fuse Size. Either fuses or HACR type circuit breakers may be used.

The ice maker is designed to operate on its own electrical circuit and must be individually fused. Voltage variation must not exceed the limits listed on page 2.

The remote condenser is designed to be powered from the ice machine. A separate knockout hole has been provided in the ice maker electrical junction box.

Remote Condenser

Power Connection

Note: Central Condensers connected to more than one refrigeration system will likely have a wiring scheme to control the fan motor. Follow those directions for condenser wiring.

Electrical connections are made in the junction box in the back of the cabinet.

1. Remove the junction box cover.

2. Knock out both holes for a field supplied strain relief.

3. Install wires and strain reliefs per code. Note: Condenser fan motor wires are tagged.

4. Connect to wires and secure ground wire to ground screw inside junction box.

All external wiring should conform to the national, state and local electrical code requirements. Usually an electrical permit and the services of a licensed electrician will be required.

Plumbing

CME1356R and CME1656R

All models require an adequate potable water supply and a gravity drain. The recommendations for tubing are:

Water supply to be

Drain to be

" OD.

Note: When replacing a prior ice machine, do not take a short cut and reuse the old inlet and drain system. INSTALL A NEW SYSTEM.

Supply:

All models have 1 water supply connection, a

male flare at the back of the cabinet. Connect to cold potable water that has adequate pressure.

Note: Using water supply tubing smaller than

will cause severe operational issues.

Water Filters:

The water filters must flow at least 2.7 GPM or they will cause severe operational issues. Check with the filter manufacturer. When replacing a prior ice machine, do NOT assume that the water flow capacity of the filter will be adequate.

All Drain Tubing Material must be RIGID. Flexible tubing will eventually cause a restricted drain.

Drain:

All models have 1 gravity drain connection, a

FPT fitting at the back of the cabinet. Use only RIGID TUBING. Flexible tubing may be easily kinked or become cracked.

The drain tube must be vented at the back of the cabinet. Use an 18" high vent.

The ice storage bin will have a drain out the back or base, depending upon the model.

The drain for the ice machine and the ice storage bin must be SEPARATE or the ice machine’s drain water may run into the bin and MELT THE ICE.

Insulation is recommended for the ice machine reservoir and bin drains.

Water Pump: Forces the water from the reservoir to the top of the evaporator(s). The motor is kept separate from the water to minimize contact with moisture.

Hot Gas Valve: Closed during freeze, it opens during harvest to divert hot discharge refrigerant gas into the inlet of the evaporators.

Purge Valve: Opens during the first part of harvest, when the water pump restarts the water in the reservoir is diverted to the drain.

Check Valves: Liquid and Discharge lines contain check valves. These control refrigerant migration during the Harvest and Off cycles.

The purge valve will shut and the inlet water valve will open to fill the reservoir. The inlet water valve shuts off when the reservoir is full.

The compressor & remote fan motor start.

Freeze Cycle

The Freeze indicator light will come on. The unit will be in a Freeze cycle for many minutes. Slush may appear in the reservoir, it is temporary and normal.

The pump will stop for a few seconds a few minutes into the freeze cycle

The freeze cycle will continue until the water level in the reservoir drops to its factory set point, the first time that happens the water valve will re-fill the reservoir. The second time it happens in a freeze cycle starts the Harvest Cycle.

Harvest Cycle:

The Harvest indicator light will be ON,

The hot gas valve will open.

The purge valve will be open for 74 seconds.

The water pump will switch off. The pump will

restart part way thru the harvest cycle.

The purge valve closes.

The Inlet water valve will open for a short time

The Bin Full indicator light will go on and off as

ice falls from the evaporators.

8. Machines are shipped from the factory with the purge level set to accommodate average water conditions. To achieve optimal machine performance, set the purge level to the minimum setting.

Note: While the amount of water purge is adjustable, only those installations with a water supply known to be excellent (very low TDS) should adjust to the minimum setting. See the next page for purge adjustment procedures.

9. After about 6 minutes (first cycle after any restart) the machine will return to a freeze cycle.

Note: After the first harvest, the controller will adjusts harvest time as needed to release all ice.

10. The reservoir refills at the beginning of Freeze.

11. Fill out the Customer Evaluation and Warranty Registration. Send it to Scotsman.

12. Return all panels to their normal positions.

13. Inform the user of the location and telephone number of the local service company. Inform the user of the required maintenance of the machine.

Operational Notes:

1. The machine will only shut off on Bin Full at the end of the Harvest Cycle after the bin fills. That last harvest cycle will be about 6 minutes long.

2. After switching off on Bin Full, if ice is removed from the bin, the machine will not restart until it has been off for 4 minutes. If the Freeze button is pushed, the machine will restart immediately.

3. If the bin controls sense a bin full signal before any water is used (float stem up), the machine will shut off on bin full.

4. When shutting off, the compressor will run for 30 seconds (everything else will be off) and then switch off.

Adjustments

If there was a problem during Initial Start Up:

If a diagnostic light came on, check the following.

1. Water.

A water error could have been determined by the AutoIQ Controller if the inlet water valve does not fill the reservoir or if the water pump does not start and lower the water level in the reservoir. If either condition is found, the water error light will be switched on and the machine will Shut Down.

2. Refrigeration.

A refrigeration error could have been determined by the AutoIQ Controller if the water temperature did not drop during the freeze cycle. The Controller will next check the compressor discharge temperature. If the discharge temperature is too low, the refrigerant error light will be switched on, and the machine will Shut Down.

Note: The machine can be reset and restarted by pushing and releasing the Off push button switch, and then pushing and releasing the freeze push button switch.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve:

The TXV is not adjustable, do not attempt to adjust it.

How to Adjust the Amount of Water Purge

Adjustment is done by use of the control buttons on the AutoIQ Controller. Examine the next section to become familiar with the AutoIQ Controller before beginning.

1. If the machine is on, push and hold the OFF button for more than 3 seconds, then release it. This switches the machine Off.

2. Push and hold the OFF button for more than 3 seconds (just until all Lights flash on) then release it. Do not hold it in it too long.

3. Examine the green Lights. They should have all flashed once, then certain ones will have turned on to indicate which purge level the machine is set at. There are 5 levels of purge available:

1. Maximum Purge is when All 5 lights are ON.

Use for extreme water conditions. Note: This setting may extend the Harvest cycle and reduce capacity.

2. Heavy Purge is when these 4 lights are ON:

Freeze to severe water conditions. This setting may extend the Harvest cycle and reduce capacity.

3. Standard Purge (factory setting) is when these 3 lights are ON: Harvest for typical water conditions.

, Harvest, Clean,Off. Use for moderate

, Clean,Off.Use

Typical Ice Level When Unit Shuts Off

4. Moderate Purge is when these 2 lights are ON: Clean conditions.

5. Minimum Purge is when this light is ON: Off. For excellent water conditions.

Adjust by pushing and releasing the Freeze button. Pushing and releasing the Freeze button increases the purge one level up to the maximum, then it goes to the minimum.

4. The machine will automatically restart after 60 seconds of no switch inputs, or restart the machine by pushing in and holding the Off button for more than 3 seconds, then releasing it. The unit will then be Off. From there the machine may be placed in a freeze cycle by pushing and releasing the Freeze button.

How To Operate The AutoIQ Controller

The AutoIQ Controller is a microprocessor based device that receives input from several sources and switches various components on and off.

Its manual control is thru the use of the Push Button Control Switches

1. Freeze Button. Pushing and releasing this button starts or restarts the machine. The AutoIQ Controller remembers what cycle it was last in and returns to that cycle.

2. Harvest Button: Pushing and releasing this button will cause the machine to go directly to a Harvest Cycle. Can be done from Freeze or Off. The machine will switch Off at the end of the Harvest cycle.

3. Clean Button: Pushing and releasing this button will cause the machine to empty the reservoir, refill and leave only the water pump on for circulation of ice machine cleaner. After the ice machine cleaner has circulated for about 10 minutes a second push of this button will switch on the rinsing system to flush out the dissolved scale and ice machine cleaner.

4. Off Button: Pushing and releasing this button will switch the machine OFF at the end of the next cycle. If the button is pushed and HELD for more than 3 seconds, the unit will switch off immediately.

To Reset Errors: First push and release the Off button, then push and release the Freeze button.

How The Electronic Cuber Works

This section is intended for the technician. It is not necessary for the normal operation and maintenance of the machine.

Refrigeration System:

The refrigeration system is similar to that of most commercial cube ice machines. Heat is removed from the water and discharged out the condenser during the freeze cycle. As liquid refrigerant passes thru the Thermostatic Expansion Valve, it enters the top of the evaporators, and ice will form at the top first.

Remote Condenser

Head Pressure Control Val ve

When cubes need to be released (Harvest) the Hot Gas Valve is opened and Hot discharge gas flows directly from the compressor to the evaporator inlets. At the same time, a Harvest Bypass Valve opens for a few seconds to add the refrigerant needed for harvest. After that the Harvest Bypass Valve and the closed Discharge Check Valve keeps the refrigerant in the condenser out of the Hot Gas Circuit.

This warms up the evaporators and the surface of the ice frozen to the evaporator surface melts. Ice then falls into the bin.

The Check Valves also prevent liquid migration during the Off cycle.

How The Electronic Cuber Works

CME1356R and CME1656R

Water System:

Freeze:

The water pump forces water to the top of the evaporators. The un-frozen water falls thru the cube deflectors and back into the reservoir. As water is turned into ice, the water level in the reservoir falls, and the machine will re-fill the reservoir once during the freeze cycle.

At the point where the cubes are fully formed, the water level sensor indicates to the AutoIQ Controller that it is time to begin the Harvest cycle.

Harvest:

At the beginning of Harvest, the water pump shuts off and the purge valve opens. The purge valve remains open for 74 seconds. No water will drain until the water pump restarts. The water pump will start at a variable time depending upon the amount of water rinse that has been set.

After the purge valve has closed, the inlet water valve opens and water flows into the ice machine. The water valve will NOT be open the complete length of the harvest cycle.

The inlet water valve will “top off” the reservoir at the beginning of the next freeze cycle.

The AutoIQ Controller operates the ice machine by monitoring several input measures and switching various loads on and off.

Controller Inputs:

1. Reservoir water temperature. This is measured by a thermistor located in the water pump outlet.

2. Discharge line temperature. This is measured by a thermistor located on the compressor discharge line.

3. Water level. This is measured by an infrared sensor and float. The float rises and falls with the water level, and switches the sensor on and off as it moves.

4. Bin fill level. This is measured by a set of electric eyes in the cube outlet port. If ice fills the bin, it will block the “eyes".

Some units are equipped with a bin thermostat, those units use the thermostat to switch the machine on and off. The electric eyes in the cube outlet port will also control the machine if the bin thermostat sticks in an ON position.

5. Time. The controller measures and compares how long it takes for various events to happen. It stores that data for future reference.

Technicians Only: Freeze Cycle Sequence

Assuming the machine has been operational, the Freeze cycle begins with the end of the Harvest Cycle:

Water Inlet Valve is Closed

Water Pump is ON

Compressor is ON

Hot Gas Valve is Open

AutoIQ Controller Operation, Beginning freeze:

1. Switches on Freeze indicator light and shuts off the hot gas valve.

2. Opens the water valve to top off the reservoir. The controller checks that water fills the reservoir, if it does not fill up within 250 seconds, the controller shuts the machine down. It will automatically try to restart in 20 minutes.

3. Measures and stores the discharge temperature.

4. If the discharge temperature exceeds the design maximum, shuts the machine down on a Refrigeration Error.

5. Checks for a “bin full" signal throughout the cycle.

6. Measures the reservoir water temperature. If the machine is operating correctly, the reservoir water temperature will fall at a standard rate. The AutoIQ Controller will be checking to see if the water temperature fall matches that rate.

If not, it re-checks the discharge line temperature. If too low, it Shuts Down on a Refrigeration Error. If the discharge temperature is acceptable, the water system is checked by shutting off the water pump and determining if the water level goes up enough. If it does not, the inlet water valve will open again to fill it. If, after restarting, the water level does not drop, it is assumed that there is a water pump problem and the machine Shuts Down on a Water Error.

If the water level does “measure up" the water pump is restarted and the AutoIQ Controller then measures how long it takes to lower the water level. If the water level does not fall, the machine Shuts Down on a Water Error.

7. Once per freeze cycle the machine will shut off the water pump. It only does this when the water temperature reaches a preset minimum. The pump will only be off for a few seconds.

8. As the machine makes ice, the water level in the reservoir will ultimately fall to the Harvest Level. The first time that happens per freeze cycle the inlet water valve is re-opened and the reservoir is refilled. The next time it happens, the unit will go into a harvest cycle.

Note: If the freeze cycle exceeds the preset Maximum (36 minutes), the Controller will Shut Down the machine and switch on the Refrigeration Light.

9. The end of Freeze cycle will see the machine in this state:

Water level = below harvest position

Water inlet valve will be off

Water pump will be ON

Compressor will be ON

Hot gas valve will be off

At this point Harvest begins and the AutoIQ Controller switches the Harvest indicator light ON.

Restarts:

If the machine is restarting after it has shut off because the bin was full, the first freeze cycle sequence is like this:

1. Purge valve is open.

2. Pump starts.

3. Purge valve closes.

4. Water valve opens to fill the reservoir.

5. Compressor starts.

Note: If there is a power interruption, after power is restored the machine will restart, go thru a brief Freeze cycle and go thrua6minute Harvest cycle.

Error Restarts:

The machine automatically attempts to restart 50 minutes after a shut down. If another problem occurs in the next cycle, the machine will attempt one more restart. If another problem occurs in the next cycle, the machine will shut off and must be manually reset.

Technicians Only: Harvest Cycle Sequence & Other Notes

Harvest

The Purge Valve will be open for 74 seconds.

The water pump shuts off, it will restart before 74 seconds, the restart time is based on the Purge Level Setting.

The pump restarts and pumps water out of the reservoir until the purge valve closes.

The inlet water valve will stay on for about 30 seconds to add enough water to assist with harvest.

The Hot Gas Valve will be open for the entire length of the Harvest Cycle.

The Harvest Bypass Valve will be open for a few seconds at the beginning of the Harvest Cycle.

During the Harvest Cycle, ice will be falling from the evaporators and between the ice sensor’s electric eyes. The AutoIQ Controller monitors the ice falling and uses that information to determine the next harvest cycle length.

The first Harvest after a restart will take about 6 minutes to establish a base line, then the time it took to release that ice is used to determine the next harvest cycle’s length.

The maximum harvest time is 14 minutes.

If no cubes fall (or are sensed) by the end of the Maximum Harvest Time, the machine senses a Refrigeration error. If the next cycle also produces a Refrigeration error, the machine will shut down.

Note: The last Harvest cycle before shutting off on Bin Full will be about 6 minutes long.

Note: The machine will not restart for 4 minutes after switching off on Bin Full, unless the Freeze button is pressed.

Bin Full: The controller will switch on the compressor for 30 seconds after 12 hours of off time to keep refrigerant out of the compressor oil.

Continuous Run Time

A unit that operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week is too small for the user’s needs. To maintain harvest integrity, the controller will extend the harvest time to 6 minutes every 15th consecutive harvest cycle.

Bin Thermostat (for those units so equipped):

In normal ambients the thermostat will react to ice on the bulb in a few seconds. Reaction after removal will take about a minute under normal conditions, and longer in colder rooms.

Stacked Units:

If the bottom unit is in harvest and receives a signal from the top unit that it is also in Harvest, the bottom unit will stay in harvest for about 6 minutes.

If the bottom unit is shut off, but its controller still has power, the top unit may continue to operate. If the bottom unit’s power is shut off, the top unit will shut down on bin full at the end of the next cycle. If the top unit’s power is shut off, it does not impact the bottom unit.

An error shut down on one unit does not affect the other.

Either one may be switched off at the controller without impacting the other.

Check controls. Unplug thermostat and check bin full light, if off, place something between the electric eyes. The bin full light should begin to blink (after 20 seconds of continuous blockage it will glow steadily). If not, check operation of electric eyes by unplugging #4 and jumping out the two pins on the controller (touch the tool to the cabinet to discharge static electricity before contacting the controller). If the bin full light blinks, replace the bin controls. If it does not blink, replace the controller. Note: Leaving #4 unplugged and jumped for 20 seconds will shut the machine down on a bin full (at the end of the harvest cycle). It will restart after 4 minutes or may be reset by pushing the Freeze button.

PTCR

CME1356R and CME1656R

The “D” series cubers use a PTCR (Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistor) in place of a conventional start relay and start capacitor.

Power from the contactor connects to the PTCR and to the Run Capacitor

A wire connects the other terminal of the PTCR to the compressor’s start winding.

Another wire connects the run capacitor to the start winding.

A parallel circuit connects power from the contactor to the Run winding of the compressor.

A PTCR changes resistance sharply when its temperature changes. When the PTCR is cold, it connects full current to the compressor’s start winding. After a very short time, the PTCR heats up and shuts off the current flow. Under normal conditions, the PTCR’s case is at about 180

F. A t that temperature the PTCR has very high resistance and will not allow current to flow. It must cool down to about 120

oF. Before current will pass

through it again.

Diagnosis:

1. Disconnect electrical power.

2. Check if the PTCR is cool enough to handle safely. If not, wait 5 minutes for it to cool off.

3. Disconnect both leads to the PTCR and measure its resistance with an ohmmeter. If the PTCR reads less than 21 ohms or more than 39 ohms, replace it.

7. Place a clean rag under the planned cut point and saw the old bracket in half and remove it.

8. While holding the bracket so that the right end is higher than the left, insert the right end in the vertical channel in the right side of the freezing compartment.

Then, while the helper lifts the right-most evaporator slightly, push the bracket in from below. Keep doing this and push up on the left end of the new bracket.

The freezing compartment walls may be pushed apart slightly to make this easier.

9. Push up enough on the left end of the bracket until it snaps into the vertical channel in the left side of the freezing compartment.

10. Check that all evaporators are properly seated front and back.

11. Remove the wire ties, and return the splash panels, hoses, and evaporator cover to their

normal positions. Check that water distributors are in place.

12. Push and release the Freeze button to start the machine.

13. Check operation.

14. Return the top and front panels to their normal positions.

Refrigeration System Components

Due to the expected level of training and experience of a refrigeration mechanic, detailed instructions regarding the replacement of refrigeration components will not be presented. However, critical items will be noted here.

Evaporators

In the unlikely event that an evaporator may need to be replaced, do NOT braze the evaporator joints when the evaporators are seated in the freezing compartment, instead lift them up slightly so that the joints to be brazed are above the top edge of the freezing compartment.

Compressor

The compressor should not be replaced until it has been determined that it has definitely failed. If it will not start check the starting components first. If the machine has low capacity, check for proper charge, TXV operation, hot gas valve leak thru or inlet water valve leak thru.

The metal bracket in front of the compressor must be removed to access the compressor.

Refrigerant

1. This ice machine uses R-404A or HP62 as a refrigerant. It has several unique characteristics.

A. It is a near-azeotrope, and must be liquid charged.

B. It must use polyol ester refrigerant oil, and that oil is very water absorbent. The system must not be open for more than 15 minutes.

C. An electronic leak detector capable of locating HFC-134a type refrigerant must be used to locate refrigerant leaks.

D. A special HFC type liquid line dryer must be used.

E. When brazing, a dry nitrogen purge is required.

F. When evacuating, use of an electronic micron gage is recommend. Evacuate to 300 microns.

Recovering the Refrigerant

Because of the check valves, liquid refrigerant must be recovered thru the liquid line valve, as well as the low side access valve at the front of the machine.

Access Valves:

1. Low Side: Remove the stem cap and insert a 3/16" allen wrench. Check that the valve is closed.

Liquid Line: Remove the stem cap. Use a refrigeration wrench and check that the valve stem is fully UP or OUT. If recovering, remove the schrader core before opening the valve.

2. Remove the port caps and attach refrigerant manifold hoses.

3. Open the valves and purge the hoses. Note: Open liquid line valve half way to access both sides of the liquid line.

4. When service is complete, shut the liquid line access valve first (fully up). Then, with the machine running and the middle hose outlet securely fastened to the manifold or refrigerant tank (closed) open both manifold valves. This allows any liquid refrigerant in the discharge hose to flow thru the manifold and into the suction side.

5. After the gages have equaled, shut the manifold valves and the suction access valve.

6. Remove the gages and replace the stem and port caps. Return the schrader core to the liquid line valve. Make certain that all caps are on tightly.

Liquid Charging

Because R-404A is a near-azeotrope, only liquid refrigerant can be used to recharge the refrigeration system. To do that may take some special techniques:

1. Use an electronic scale to measure the charge.

2. Place a drum or cylinder of R-404A on the scale, valve side up (most R-404A disposable cylinders have an internal dip tube and dispense liquid refrigerant from the valve when it is upright check yours).

3. A refrigeration manifold should be attached to the service access valves. Attach the charging hose to the cylinder of R-404A. Open the cylinder’s valve and purge the hose to the manifold.

4. Close the low side service access valve.

5. Open the discharge side manifold valve and weigh in the name plate charge. After the charge is weighed in, wait a few minutes and re-check the scale.

6. If all of the refrigerant charge has not been weighed into the discharge side, it must be carefully added thru the low side. Close the discharge service access valve.

7. With a sight glass or charge faster in the hose to the low side port, start the ice machine.

8. Open the low side service access valve.

9. Crack open the low side manifold valve and watch the scale and sight glass. Open and close the low side manifold valve to flow liquid into the manifold but flash off to vapor before it enters the suction side of the refrigeration system. This should only be a few ounces at most.

10. After the scale = the correct charge, shut off the valve on the refrigerant cylinder.

11. With the ice machine running and the discharge access valve closed, open both manifold valves to allow the refrigerant in the hoses to enter the system.

12. Shut the suction service access valve.

13. Remove the refrigeration manifold gages.

14. Replace and tighten all caps.

Before Calling for Service

Check the following:

1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or building been shut off? If yes, the ice machine will automatically restart within 25 minutes after water begins to flow to it.

2. Has power been shut off to the ice machine? If yes, the ice machine will automatically restart when power is restored.

3. Has someone disconnected power to a central condenser (probably on the roof - may be connected to a walk-in cooler). If yes, the ice machine may need to be manually reset.

4. Does the bin control have ice on it? If so, remove the ice and the machine should start in a few minutes.

SERVICE BULLETIN

Subject: New Ice Sensors in CME1356, CME1656 and CME2006. New Ice Sensors, new Water Level Sensors and new Controllers in CME306 and CME456.

Ice Sensors: Scotsman has begun production of ice machines equipped with a new style of ice

sensor. The new sensor is interchangeable with the prior sensors, which are still in use on other Scotsman modular cubers.

Controllers: Scotsman has also added the new blue controller (see PS-3-2002) to models CME306 and CME456.

Water Level Sensor: A new water level sensor is also being used on CME306 and CME456. Service parts for the ice sensors and water level sensor have not changed. Ice machines built prior to this change are not affected. The new sensors’ use will be phased in by model throughout 2002. Additional information is on the back of this bulletin.

Photo-Eyes in New Ice Sensor

Sensor Holder

Push to Release Photo-Eye

The new ice sensor’s have a photo-eye module that can be separated from the holder.

Once separated, the lenses of the photo-eyes can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth or cotton swab. Ice machine cleaner may be used if needed.

Like the other style of sensor, the photo-eye part can be placed in the reservoir when the ice machine is being cleaned with ice machine cleaner.

When re-assembling, be sure that the wire is not sticking out past the edges of the sensor holder.
