S-Model Automatic Shut-Off and Restart
When the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest cycle,
the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water curtain and will
hold it open. After the water curtain is held open for 7
seconds, the ice machine shuts off. To assure the PTCR
has cooled, the ice machine remains off for 3 minutes
before it can automatically restart.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice has been
removed from the storage bin to allow the ice to fall clear
of the water curtain. As the water curtain swings back to
operating position, the bin switch closes and the ice
machine restarts, provided the three-minute delay period
is complete.

Troubleshooting PTCR’s
WHY A GOOD PTCR MAY FAIL
TO START THE COMPRESSOR
The PTCR must be cooled before attempting to start the
compressor, otherwise the high starting torque may not
last long enough.
For example, if the PTCR is properly cooled, say 60°F
(15.6°C) when the compressor starts, it will take .25 to
1.0 seconds before its temperature reaches 260°F
(126.6°C), and current flow is stopped.
If the PTCR is still warm, say 160°F (71.1°C) when the
compressor starts, it will take only .125 to .50 seconds
before its temperature reaches 260°F (126.6°C), and
current flow is stopped. This decreased time may be
insufficient to start the compressor.
A good PTCR may be too hot to operate properly at
start-up because:
•
The ice machine’s 3-minute delay has been
overridden. Opening and closing the service
disconnect or cycling the toggle switch from OFF to
ICE will override the delay period.
•
The control box temperature is too high. Though
rare, very high air temperatures (intense sunlight,
etc.) can greatly increase the temperature of the
control box and its contents. This may require a
longer off time to allow the PTCR to cool.
•
The compressor has short-cycled, or the compressor
overload has opened. Move the toggle switch to OFF
and allow the compressor and PTCR to cool.
