ELECTRIC EYE ICE LEVEL CONTROL
Electric Eye Ice Level Control
The use of a suitable ice level control to shut off the ice flaker when the bin fills up is mandatory.
Failure to use the proper ice level control will cause ice to build up within the ice flaker evaporator
after the bin is full to capacity. Operating the flaker with a full bin will cause the ice deflector to bend
or break as it "churns" the ice. In extreme cases it may result in damage to the speed reducer and/or
the electric drive motor and flexible coupling.
The proper and approved bin level control is the photo-electric eye. When ordered with the machine,
the eyes are mounted on brackets that will attach to the bin top or wall. The cables are routed through
the bottom casting of the ice flaker. The power module is mounted inside the ice flaker control panel.
