Adjustable Ice Level System Information and Diagnosis
The ultrasonic sensor in the base of the ice machine is located to take advantage of the natural slope of
the ice as it builds up in the bin. The numbers of the settings are from the sensor to the top of the ice pile
directly under the sensor.
If the Vari-Smart system fails to shut off the machine and ice overfills the bin or dispenser, the curtain
switch in the machine will switch the machine off, and will also restart the machine when ice is removed.
Note: Additional information on this option is included with the instructions provided with it.
Vari-Smart Check Out
If the machine’s sump water is below 40 degrees or so, the Vari-Smart will only signal Bin Full at the end
of a harvest cycle. If above 40, it should do so at the beginning of freeze. The easiest way to check it is
as follows:
1. Install the Vari Smart on the Prodigy.
2. Set the Vari-Smart on 32” (point the arrow to the A in Adjust)
3. Connect power to the unit.
4. Put the unit into a Manual Harvest
5. Position something about 12” from the sensor. The object should be a solid, flat item like a panel or
manual.
6. Cycle the curtain switch to terminate harvest (open and close all three curtains).
7. The unit should shut off on bin full at the end of the harvest cycle. The Bin Full light will be on and a
b
will show in the code display of the controller
.
8. Rotate the selector to the correct position and restart the ice machine.
Note: If a Smart-Board is on the machine, and it is controlling the Vari-Smart, rotating the Vari-Smart’s
knob will have no affect. The Smart-Board’s control will have to be disengaged to perform this check out.
