Remote System Installation
Information:
Use precharged tubing kits, RTE25 (25’) or RTE40 (40’)
or RTE75 (75’). Select the length closest to the needs of
the particular installation.
For The Installer: Remote Condenser
Locate the condenser as near as possible to the interior
location of the ice maker.
Note: The recommended location of the condenser is
above the ice machine.
Select the best available location, one that protects the
condenser from extremes of dust, grease and sun.
Meet all applicable building codes.
Roof Attachment
Install and attach the remote condenser to the roof of the
building, using the methods and practices of
construction that conform to the local building codes,
including having a roofing contractor secure the
condenser to the roof.
The only remote condenser for the CME1356R and
CME1656R ice machines is Scotsman’s ERC411.
The only remote condenser for the CME1056R ice
machine is Scotsman’s ERC311.
Precharged Line Routing
Do not connect the precharged tubing until all routing
and forming of the tubing is complete. See the Coupling
Instructions for final connections.
1. Each set of pre-charged tubing lines contains a
smaller diameter liquid line, and a larger diameter
discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick
connect couplings, the end without access valves goes to
the ice maker.
Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall, listed
in the next step, are the minimum sizes recommended
for passing the refrigerant lines through.
2. Have the roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for
the refrigerant lines of 2". Check local codes, a separate
hole may be required for the electrical power supply to
the condenser.
Caution: Do NOT kink the refrigerant tubing while
routing it.
3. Route the refrigerant tubes through the roof opening. Follow
straight line routing whenever possible.
Note: Excess tubing may EITHER be coiled up INSIDE the
building OR cut out prior to connection to the ice maker and
condenser.
If the excess tubing is cut out, after re-brazing the tubing must
be evacuated prior to connection to the ice maker or condenser.
If the excess tubing is to be coiled, spiral it horizontally to avoid
excess trapping in the lines.
Note: A 36" service loop may be placed behind the ice machine.
4. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per
local codes.
