 VT 

Series Ice machine. 

!     WARNING     ! 

 

Main Power:

 

 Power for the entire ice machine will be supplied at the condensing unit.    

Refer to the table below to properly size  wiring connections.  

A fused disconnect switch must be provided

 

near the condensing  unit of the ice machine.  Connect 3 phase power to compressor contactor L1,  L2,  L3 for 
operation  of  the  VT  ice  machine  and  its  controls.  If  one  phase  (leg)  of  the  3  phase  power  is  higher  or  lower 
(“Wild”), it should be connected to terminal #L2.  Connect the “Ground” wire to the “Ground” terminal provided.
