B. Sequence of Operation
1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown
The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, CB red
"POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED come on. If yellow "BC OPEN" LED is
on, the unit will not start. In this case, clear ice away from the BC actuator paddle in the
dispenser unit/storage bin area. A 5-second delay occurs at startup. Note that the order
of the green sequence LEDs from the outer edge of CB is 1, 4, 3, 2.
a) 1-Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on.
WV energizes and the 1-minute fill cycle begins. After 1 minute, CB checks
for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, WV remains energized
through additional 1-minute fill cycles until water fills the tank and closes F/S. This serves
as a low water safety to protect PM.
b) Initial Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on.
WV remains energized, Comp, FMRs, and HGVs energize.
CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line.
When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads a 3.9 kΩ signal from the thermistor
and turns harvest termination over to the adjustable harvest timer which is factory set for
normal conditions. For details, see "II.C.3.b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)." WV is
energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus
50 seconds (Harvest Pump Timer (S4 dip switch 7)), whichever is shorter. 50 seconds
before the harvest timer terminates, LED 4 and WV de-energize. LED 3 comes on, DVR
energizes, energizing PM for the last 50 seconds of harvest. For details, see "II.C.3.e)
Harvest Pump Timer (S4 dip switch 7)."
CAUTION! S4 dip switch 7 must remain in
the factory default position of 7 on. Otherwise, PM will not energize during the last
50 seconds of harvest.
The pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) acts in place of the
harvest timer during cycles with a pump-out. For details, see "II.C.3.c) Pump-Out Timer
(S4 dip switch 3 & 4). The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle
is 2 minutes. At the end of harvest, CB checks the position of F/S and proceeds to the
freeze cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute fill cycle if it is open.
c) Freeze Cycle
LED 1 is on.
Comp, FMRs, and PM continue. LLVs energize. HGVs de-energize. For
the first 5 minutes, CB will not terminate the freeze cycle. At the end of 5 minutes, F/S
assumes control of the freeze cycle. As ice builds on the evaporator, the water level in
the tank lowers. The freeze cycle continues until F/S opens. There is a 15 second delay
before CB acknowledges an open F/S, CB then terminates the freeze cycle.
