2. Remote Condensing Unit
NOTICE
• The remote condensing unit is intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature must be within -20°F to 122°F (-29°C to 50°C). Operation of the
remote condensing unit, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature
range may affect performance.
• The maximum line set length is 66' (20 m). No refrigerant charge adjustment is
necessary.
• The maximum vertical distance between the remote condensing unit and icemaker
is 33' (10 m) above or 10' (3 m) below the icemaker. These distances are measured
fitting to fitting. See Fig. 1.
• If the vertical distance between the remote condensing unit and the icemaker
is greater than 20' (6 m) (not to exceed 33' (10 m)), an "S" oil-trap (5/8" OD
copper tubing) must be installed in the suction line. The "S" oil-trap must be
located halfway between the icemaker and remote condensing unit. This ensures
sufficient oil return to the compressor.
The remote condensing unit must be positioned in a permanent site under the following
guidelines:
• A firm and flat site.
• A dry and well ventilated area with 24" (61 cm) clearance in both front and rear for proper
air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required. See Fig. 2.
