Section 3 Operation
Sequence of Operation
15 MINUTE TIME DELAY
The 15 minute delay must be expired before the gearmotor or compressor will energize.
The delay period starts to time out upon application of power or movement of the toggle switch from OFF to ICE.
The delay period starts when:
- The ice machine enters Automatic Shutoff
- Power is disconnected and reconnected
- The toggle switch is moved from OFF to ICE
This time delay period can not be overridden and will reset to 15 minutes if any of the above conditions occur.
PRIOR TO START-UP
When the toggle switch is placed in the ICE position the following must occur in the listed order before ice making will start.
- The ice chute damper must be in the closed or down position.
- The 15 minute delay period must be expired. The delay period starts upon application of power or toggle switch movement from OFF to ICE.
- The water sensing switch must be closed (water reservoir full of water and water sensing float in the up position).
INITIAL START-UP
Applying power and/or moving the toggle switch from OFF to ICE will start a 15 minute delay period. This delay period can not be overridden. With the water sensing switch closed (reservoir full of water) the gear motor will energize at the end of the 15 minute time delay. The compressor and condenser fan motor energize 5 seconds after the gearmotor.
FREEZE CYCLE
The float valve automatically maintains the water level in the reservoir. The ice damper will open and close to verify ice production. The ice machine will continue to make ice until the ice damper is held open (up) as ice fills the bin.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
When the ice damper is held open by ice, the gearmotor, compressor and condenser fan de-energize. The fifteen minute delay period starts to time out. The ice machine will remain off until the 15 minute delay period expires and the ice damper closes.
RESTART AFTER AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
- Less than 4 hours have passed since automatic shut-off.
With the water sensing switch closed (reservoir full of water) the gear motor will energize at the end of the 15 minute time delay. The compressor and condenser fan motor energize 5 seconds after the gearmotor.
2. More than 4 hours have passed since automatic shut-off.
The dump valve energizes to drain the evaporator. After 30 seconds the dump valve de-energizes. When the reservoir fills with water, the water sensing switch closes and the gearmotor energizes. The compressor and condenser fan motor energize 5 seconds after the gearmotor.
