ELEVATION SERIES CIM CUBERS REMOTE CONDENSER GUIDELINES

Remote Condenser Installation
For proper operation of the ice machine, the
following installation guidelines must be followed.
Failure to do so may result in loss of production
capacity, premature part failure, and may void all
warranties .
Use the following for planning the placement of
the remote condenser relative to the ice machine
Location Limits
Remote condenser location must not exceed ANY
of the following:
Maximum rise from the ice machine to the
remote condenser is 35 physical feet.
Maximum drop from the ice machine to
the remote condenser is 10 physical feet.
Physical line set maximum length is 75 ft.
Calculated line set length maximum is 100
ft.
Ambient operating temperatures:
-20°F (-28.9°C) to 120°F (48.9°C)
Calculation Formula
Drop = dd x 6.6
(dd = drop distance (ft.))
Rise = rd x 1.7
(rd = rise distance (ft.))
Horizontal Run = hd
(hd = horizontal distance (ft.))
Calculated Line Length = Drop + Rise + Horizontal Run
Configurations that do NOT meet these
requirements must receive written authorization
from Ice-O-Matic. This includes multi-pass or rack
system remote condensers.
DO NOT: Route a line set that rises, then falls, then
rises or a line set that falls, then rises, then falls.
Remote Condenser Location
Pre-charged line sets are available in 25, 40, 45, 60
or 75 foot length to connect the ice machine to the
remote condenser. Select the best available
location, protecting the remote condenser from
extremes of dirt, dust and sun. Meet all applicable
building codes. The services of a licensed
electrician may be required. Clearances required
for the RCA/RGA Condensers are 48” above and
18” on all side of the unit for proper air flow.
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 remote condenser to the roof.
Have an electrician connect the remote condenser
fan motor wires to the ice machine using the
junction box at the back of the machine.
Pre-charged Line Set Routing
CAUTION: Do not connect the pre-charged tubing
until all routing and forming of the tubing has been
completed. See the coupling instructions for
connecting information.
Each set of pre-charged tubing refrigerant lines
consists of a 3/8” diameter liquid line and 1/2 inch
diameter discharge line. Both ends of each line
have quick connect couplings, one end of the line
set has a Schrader valve connection.
Note: the openings in the building or ceiling or wall,
listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes
recommended for passing the refrigerant lines through.
Have a roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for
the refrigerant lines of 2.50 inch. Check local
codes, a separate hole may be required for the
electrical power to the condenser.
CAUTION: DO NOT KINK OR CRIMP
REFRIGERANT TUBING WHEN INSTALLING
IT.
NOTE: REMOTE LINES MUST NOT RISE AND
DROP IN THE SAME RUN.
