Remote Condenser Installation 

 

The EMF1106R2 and EMF2306R2 remote ice makers incorporate the mixing valve in the condenser.  This 
configuration allows up to a 100 foot calculated remote line set run.  Reference the diagram below to calculate the 
maximum 100 foot line set run. 
 
For proper operation of the ICE-O-Matic ice machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed.  Failure to 
do so may result in loss of production capacity, premature part failure, and may void all warranties. 
 
Remote condensers must be installed per local building codes.  A two to four inch diameter roof penetration will be 
needed for refrigerant lines and electrical conduit.  The penetration should be within two feet of where the condenser 
will be located.  A roof jack must be installed at the penetration. 
 

Installation Guidelines 

 

Ambient operating temperatures:  -20°F (-28.9°C) to 120°F (48.9°C) 

 

Condenser Airflow: Condensers must have a vertical airflow.

Limitations for new remote machines that have the headmaster mounted in the condenser. 

 

Maximum Rise is 35 feet. 
Maximum Drop is 15 feet. 

Airflow

Maximum equivalent run is 100 feet. 
 

Formula for figuring maximum equivalent run is as follows: 

 
Rise x 1.7 + Drop x 6.6 + horizontal run = equivalent run.  
 

 

 

          

Examples: 

35 ft. rise x 1.7 + 40 ft. horizontal = 99.5 equivalent feet line run 

 

 

 

        

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

34 ft. horizontal

10 ft. drop 

10 ft. drop x 6.6 + 34 ft horizontal = 100 
equivalent feet line run 

35 ft. rise 

40 ft. horizontal

Verify the ICE machine is compatible with the remote condenser.  
Some ice machines and some remote condensers may or may not 
have a Mixing Valve (Head Master).  Only one valve is required per 
system.  Kits are available to modify the condenser for compatibility.  
For more information contact your ICE-O-Matic Distributor.
