ELECTRICAL SEQUENCE
Refer the wiring diagram as needed.
The following description applies to either one of
the two ice making systems. They operate
independently of each other.
If the machine is switched off at the master switch,
but is otherwise ready to go, switching the master
switch to on does the following:
••
The bin empty light on the circuit board goes on
••
There is a 15 second delay
••
If there is enough water in the reservoir, the
circuit board will allow the machine to start up.
Start up consists of:
••
The compressor relay and auger motor relay
become energized, connecting power to the
windings of the auger motor.
••
The auger motor starts, and the centrifugal
switch closes, connecting power to the
compressor contactor coil.
••
The contactor is energized, connecting power
to the compressor, and the compressor starts.
••
As ice goes past the ice level sensors, the bin
empty light will stay on, and the machine will
continue to run, unless the ice stays between
the sensors for more than 15 seconds (bin full).
At that point, the bin empty light goes out, and
the machine shuts down.
Shut Down consists of:
••
The compressor relay opens.
••
The compressor contactor opens
••
The compressor stops
••
The auger motor is run by the circuit board for 2
more minutes, clearing out ice in the
evaporator, and then
••
The auger motor relay opens, and the auger
motor stops.
If the ice level sensor is clear (bin empty) for more
than 15 seconds, the machine will start up again.
Another purpose of the circuit board is to turn the
machine off if there is not enough water in the
machine.
••
When the water level in the reservoir falls
below the water level sensor, the machine will
"shut down"
••
When the water refills the reservoir, the
machine will start up again.
Separate from the circuit board:
••
If the high pressure control (cut out switch)
opens, the machine will stop immediately
(through the relays on the circuit board). It must
be manually reset at the control .
••
If the low pressure control (cut out switch)
opens, the machine will stop immediately
(through the relays on the circuit board). It must
be manually reset at the control.
••
If the spout switch opens, the machine will stop
immediately (through the relays on the circuit
board). The spout switch must be manually
reset.
••
Each master switch is the manual control for
each system, but it is not a service disconnect.
