COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS AND
DIAGNOSTICS
General
Q-Model control boards use a dual voltage
transformer. This means only one control board is
needed for both 115V and 208-230V use.
Safety Limits
In addition to standard safety controls, such as the
high pressure cut-out, the control board has built-in
safety limits.
These safety limits protect the ice machine from major
component failures. For more information, see “Safety
Limits”
Inputs
The control board, along with inputs, controls all
electrical components, including the ice machine
sequence of operation. Prior to diagnosing, you must
understand how the inputs affect the control board
operation.
Refer to specific component specifications (inputs),
wiring diagrams and ice machine sequence of
operation sections for details.
As an example, refer to “Ice Thickness Probe” for
information relating to how the probe and control
board function together.
This section will include items such as:
•
How a harvest cycle is initiated
•
How the harvest light functions with the probe
•
Freeze time lock-in feature
•
Maximum freeze time
•
