For The Installer: Remote Condenser
Locate the condenser as near as possible to the
interior location of the ice maker.
Note: The location of the condenser relative to the
ice machine is LIMITED by the specification on the
following page.
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.
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
" diameter liquid line, and a
" 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 thru 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.
5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the
roof per local codes.
