2. Features
a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes
Inlet water valve opening, in the harvest cycle, is limited by the harvest timer. The water
valve cannot remain open longer than the maximum period. The water valve can close in
less than six minutes if the harvest cycle is completed.
valve cannot remain open longer than the maximum period. The water valve can close in
less than six minutes if the harvest cycle is completed.
b) Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer
The harvest backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the harvest
cycle takes more than 0 minutes to complete. The control board will signal this problem
using beeps every 3 seconds.
The freeze timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the freeze cycle
takes longer than the time specified to complete. The control board will signal this
problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The time is factory set using dip switches 9 &
0.
The reset button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset either of
these safeties.

The reset button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset either of
these safeties.
c) High Temperature Safety
The temperature of the suction line in the refrigeration circuit is limited by the high
temperature safety. This protects the unit from excessively high temperatures. If the
evaporator temperature rises above 7 ± 7°F (53 ± 4°C), the thermistor operates the
safety. This shuts down the circuit and the icemaker automatically stops.
The control board will signal this problem using beep every 3 seconds. The reset button
on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.

The control board will signal this problem using beep every 3 seconds. The reset button

d) Low Water Safety
If the pump motor is operated without water, the mechanical seal can fail. To prevent this
type of failure, the control board checks the position of the float switch at the end of the
initial one minute water fill cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle.
If the float switch is in the up position (electrical circuit closed), the control board changes
to the ice making cycle. If the float switch is in the down position (electrical circuit open),
the control board changes to additional one minute water fill cycles until water enters the
sump and the float switch closes. When the float switch closes, the control board changes
to the ice making cycle. The unit will not start without adequate water in the sump. This
serves as a low water safety to protect the pump motor from mechanical seal failure.
For water-cooled model, if the water is shut off, the unit is protected by the high pressure
switch.

e) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs
The maximum and minimum allowable supply voltages of this icemaker are limited by the
high voltage and low voltage cut-outs.
If miswiring (especially on single phase 3 wire models) causes excessive voltage (47Vac
±5% or more) on the control board, the high voltage cut-out shuts down the circuit
in 3 seconds and the icemaker automatically stops. The control board will signal this
problem using 7 beeps every 3 seconds.
The icemaker also automatically stops in cases of insufficient voltage (9Vac ±5% or
less). The control board will signal this problem using 6 beeps every 3 seconds.
When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running
again.
