Electrical Sequence - Air or Water Cooled
Power connected, unit previously switched Off.
Control board does a self check. If the self check fails, the unit displays an E and no further
action will occur.
If the self check passes, the controller will display a 0, the curtain light(s) will be ON and the
Power and Sump Empty lights will be ON.
Pushing and releasing the On button will start the ice making process.
The display will begin to blink F. The component indicator lights will switch on and off to match the
following process:
The purge valve opens and the water pump starts to empty the reservoir. This is done to
discharge any excess water from ice melting into the reservoir.
The hot gas valve and the harvest assist solenoid are energized.
The inlet water valve will open to fill the reservoir. The water valve can open any time the water
level is low.
After a few seconds the purge valve closes and the pump shuts off.
When the reservoir is full the inlet water valve stops and the compressor switches on. Five
seconds after the compressor starts the hot gas valve and the harvest assist solenoid are
de-energized.
Light Information: The display shows a non-blinking F. The Power and Status Lights will be Green. The
compressor, fan motor, water pump, sump full and one or two curtain switch lights will be ON.
The air cooled model's fan motor will start to turn when the discharge pressure has built up to
the fan pressure control's cut in point. This is about 15 seconds after the compressor starts.
The Freeze cycle continues. The compressor, water pump, fan motor and curtain indicator
lights will be ON. When the reservoir water temperature falls to a certain preset point, the
water pump will shut off for 30 seconds. This is the anti-slush period. At this time the controller
checks the conductivity of the water in the reservoir for the auto-purge feature. After the water
pump restarts the Sump Full light will go out and neither sump lights will be on for the rest of
the freeze cycle.
When the ice has built up enough so that the water flowing over the evaporator comes into
continuous contact with the ice level sensor, the Ready to Harvest light will begin to blink on
and off. When it has been On continuously for 5 seconds, the controller will switch the machine
into a Harvest cycle.
