erm/Component Definition / Description
Control Board …………………………..The printed-circuit board (PC Board) contains the microprocessor, relays and
electrical connections which control and monitor all functions and operations
of the unit.
Microprocessor ………………………... An electrical component on the control board which receives electrical signals
from other components, processes that information, then sends an electrical
signal to the relays on the board to open or close, and other electronic components in the unit to switch on or off.
Relay …………………………………… The electrical components on the control board which switch other compo-
nents in the unit ON and OFF when instructed to do so by the microprocessor.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) ……...... That part of the control board seen at the control panel which displays com-
partment temperatures, service annunciators, etc. . .
Control Panel Assembly ………………The information input and read-out area of the electronic control system,
located at the top of the upper Compartment.
Membrane Switch …………………….. An integral part of the control panel assembly, which consists of the function
keys used for all input operations to the electronic control system.
Keys (Function Keys) ………………… The buttons on the Membrane switch used for input operations. (The keys
are: UNIT ON/OFF, ALARM ON/OFF, ICE ON/OFF, WARMER, COLDER)
Annunciators …………………………... The words and numbers that are displayed at the control panel assembly.
(Example: Temperature displays, alarm bell indicator, SERVICE indicator, and
ICE system indicator)
Display Units…………………………... The temperatures displayed may be in fahrenheit units of measure (°F) or in
celsius units of measure (°C). A series of key strokes allows this to be
changed back and forth.
Set-Point ……………………………….. The desired compartment temperature, established by pressing the COLDER
or WARMER keys.
High Offset (Cut-in)………………….....As the compartment air temperature cycles up and down, this is the maxi-
mum compartment temperature that the electronic control system will allow
before calling for cooling.
Low Offset (Cut-out)…………………... As the compartment air temperature cycles up and down, this is the minimum
compartment air temperature that the electronic control system will allow
before interrupting cooling.
Thermistor (Temperature Sensor) ….. A resistor with which resistance changes as the temperature around it
changes. For electronic control system purposes, the microprocessor measures this resistance and displays it as a temperature reading at the LCD.
ELECTRONIC CONTROL TERMINOLOGY & COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
All Integrated 700-2 Series units utilize an electronic control system. The electronic control system monitors, regulates and controls a variety of functions. The electronic control system also displays temperature readings, ice
maker system operation, possible problems with the unit and door ajar alarm status. The table below defines some
basic electronic control system terminology and describes some of the electronic control system components. An
understanding of the following information is needed in order to comprehend the input operations and functions of
the electronic control system.
