Ice Bin Thermostat Sensor
An electronic ice bin thermostat may be added to automatically
cycle machine operation. To assure proper protection for the machine or auxiliary equipment, the
sensor of the ice bin thermostat must be located so that ice will contact it when the bin is full (See
FIGURE 3-8 for typical mounting bracket). The distance between the top of the ice bin and the
sensor allows space for the machine to make an additional discharge of ice AFTER the ice contacts
the probe. This will vary based on the size of the bin and the ice distribution system employed.
Note:
The probe should also be mounted on the back side of the bracket, opposite of the front of the
bin to reduce the possibility of damage from ice removal equipment.
The control panel is electrically connected so that the bin thermostat will stop the machine only upon
the completion of a harvest period.
