Control System

The control system operates the machine. The
controller operates on 12 volts AC, supplied by the
transformer. It uses an ultrasonic ice sensor to
measure ice level. The ultrasonic system transmits
sound waves into the ice storage bin and measures
the return time, when the return time is longer than
the preset time for bin full, the controller switches
the ice machine to an ice making mode. During ice
making the compressor, fan motor and auger motor
are operating.

The control system has two safeties: It will not
operate the machine without water and it will not
operate the machine if the auger motor is drawing
too much current or if it isn’t drawing any current.
The water sensor is checking the conductivity of
the water in the water reservoir. If there is no water
in the reservoir the conductivity will be zero and the
controller will either not start ice making or will stop
making ice.

The current or amps of the auger motor are
continually monitored by the controller during ice
making. If the current is too high, indicating an
overload, the controller will stop ice making. If the
current is zero, indicating an auger motor failure,
the controller will also stop ice making.

The control pad has two switches and three lights.
The left switch button is On/Off. The right switch
button is Clean/Reset. The left Ice Making light is a
status light, it is ON when the machine has been
switched to an ice making mode. The center light is
a Water light, it will be ON when the controller has
sensed that there is no water available. It will go
out when the water supply has been restored. The
right light is a Time to Clean indicator light. It is
switched ON by the controller after six months of
power connect time. It will go out after the machine
has been cleaned following the process in the
Maintenance section.
