[b] CONTROL FEATURES
1) Maximum Water Supply Period - 6 minutes
Inletwater valveopening, in thedefrost cycle, is limited by thedefrost timer.Thewatervalvecannot remainopen longer than themaximumperiod.Thewatervalvecancloseinlessthansixminutesifthedefrostcycleiscompleted.
2) Defrost Backup Timer
Thedefrost backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, thedefrostcycletakesmorethan20minutestocomplete.Thecontrolboardwillsignalthisproblemusing2beepsevery3seconds.Theresetbuttononthecontrolboardmustbepressedwithpowerontoresetthesafety.
3) Freeze Backup Timer
The freezebackup timer shutsdown the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, thefreezecycletakeslongerthanthetimespecifiedtocomplete.Thecontrolboardwillsignalthisproblemusing3beepsevery3seconds.Thetimeisfactorysetusingdipswitches9&10.The safetywill be resetwhen the control switch is turnedoff andbackon.
4) High Temperature Safety

5) Low Water Safety
Thecontrolboardchecksthepositionofthefloatswitchattheendoftheinitialoneminutewaterfillcycleandattheendofeachdefrostcycle.
If the float switch is in theupposition (electrical circuit closed), the control boardchangestothenextcycle.Ifthefloatswitchisinthedownposition(electricalcircuitopen),thecontrolboardchangestoadditionaloneminutewaterfillcyclesuntilwaterentersthesumpandthefloatswitchcloses.Whenthefloatswitchcloses,thecontrolboardchangestothenextcycle.Theunitwillnotstartwithoutadequatewaterinthesump.Thisservesasalowwatersafetytoprotectthewaterpump.
6) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs
Themaximumandminimumallowablesupplyvoltagesofthisicemakerarelimitedbythehighvoltageandlowvoltagecut-outs.
15
Ifmiswiring (especially on single phase3wiremodels) causesexcessive voltage(294Vac±5%ormore) on the control board, thehigh voltage cut-out shuts downthecircuitin3secondsandtheicemakerautomaticallystops.Thecontrolboardwillsignalthisproblemusing7beepsevery3seconds.
The icemakeralsoautomaticallystops incasesof insufficientvoltage(184Vac±5%orless).Thecontrolboardwillsignalthisproblemusing6beepsevery3seconds.
When theproper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically startsrunningagain.
7) LED Lights

CAUTION
DonotchangethesettingsoftheDipSwitchNos.3,4,7,8,9and10,ortheunitwillnotoperateproperly.
If theS2DipSwitch ismountedon theControlBoard,all shouldbe left in the “OFF”position.

2) Defrost Control
A thermistor (semiconductor) is used for theDefrostControlSensor.The resistancevariesdependingon the suction line temperatures.TheThermistor detects thetemperatureof theEvaporator outlet to start theDefrostTimer.Noadjustment isrequired. If necessary, check for resistancebetweenThermistor leads, and visuallychecktheThermistormounting,locatedonthesuctionlinenexttotheEvaporatoroutlet.

ChecktheThermistorforresistancebyusingthefollowingprocedures.
(i) DisconnecttheConnectorK1ontheboard.
(ii) RemovetheThermistor.See“V.13.THERMISTOR”.
(iii) ImmersetheThermistorsensorportioninaglasscontainingiceandwaterfor2or3minutes.
(iv) CheckforresistancebetweentheThermistorleads.Normalreadingiswithin3.5to7kilohms.ReplacetheThermistorifitexceedsthenormalreading.
3) Defrost Timer
Noadjustment is requiredunder normal use, as theDefrostTimer is adjusted to thesuitableposition.However,ifnecessarywhenalltheiceformedontheEvaporatordoesnot fall into theBin in thedefrostcycle,adjust theDefrostTimer to longerpositionbysettingtheDipSwitch(Nos.1&2)ontheControlBoard.

[f] CHECKING THE CONTROL BOARD
Before replacingaControlBoard that doesnot showa visible defect and that yoususpectisbad,alwaysconductthefollowingcheckprocedure.Thisprocedurewillhelpyouverifyyourdiagnosis.
1)Check theDipSwitchsettings toassure that#3,4,7,8,9,&10are in the factorydefaultposition.Switches1,2,5,&6arecleaningadjustmentsandthesettingsareflexible.
2)MovetheControlSwitch to the“ICE”positionandcheck forpropercontrolvoltage.If thePowerOKLEDison, thecontrolvoltage isgood. If theLEDisoff,checktheControlTransformercircuit.Ifnovoltageispresent,checkthepowersupplycircuit.
3)Toperforma relay sequence test, turnon thepower switchwhile pressing the"OUTPUTTEST"button.Thecorrectlightingsequenceshouldbe5,6,7,8,4.Somecomponents (e.g., the compressor)will cycle during test.EachLEDcomeson for5seconds.LED5 isonwhileLED6 ison.Followingtheoutput testsequence, theicemakerwillresumenormaloperationbeginningwiththeinitialcycle.
Ifthecomponentscycleinadifferentsequence,theControlBoardisbadandshouldbe replaced.See “V. 14. [d]CONTROLBOARD”. If the components cycled in thecorrectsequence,proceedtothenextstep.
4)Move theControlSwitch to the “ICE”position.When theunit enters the freezecycle, allow it torunfor5minutesafterthethermistortemperaturereaches 2°C in the f reeze cyc le and thendisconnect the3-pinFloatSwitchConnector(graywire).TheConnector isnotshown,but it islocated in thegeneralareaof thecircle inFig.2.AftertheFloatSwitchisdisconnected,thedefrostcycle should start. If thedefrost cycledoesnotstart,replacetheboard.See“V.14.[d]CONTROLBOARD”.
Note: Theboardneveracceptsthefreezecompletionsignal (openFloatSwitch)within the first5minutesafter the thermistor temperaturereaches2°Cinthefreezecycle.

Control Switch
TheControlSwitchislocatedattheleftfrontoftheunit.RemovetheAirFiltertoaccesstheControlSwitch.Thisswitch isusedtoplacethemachineintooneof threemodes:“OFF”(centerposition),“ICE”(rightposition),and“WASH”(leftposition).
1) “OFF”
Inthe“OFF”position,nopowerissuppliedtotheunit.However,toavoidanypossibleriskofelectricalshock,disconnectthepowerbeforeservicing.
2) “ICE”
Thispositionappliespower to theunitcausing theautomatic icemakingprocess tobegin.Referto“2.[d]SEQUENCE”forfurtherdetails.
3) “WASH”
When theControlSwitch is placed in the “WASH”position, power is supplied tothePumpMotor andCleaningWaterValve.This allows cleaningand/or sanitizingsolutions (see “VI.CLEANINGANDMAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS”) tocirculatethroughout thewater systemanddown the insideandoutsideof theEvaporatorplates.

3. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
IMPORTANT
Whenshuttingoff the icemaker for anextended time, drainout allwaterfromthewaterlinesandremovetheicefromtheStorageBin.TheStorageBinshouldbecleanedanddried.Drain the icemakerusingairor carbondioxide to prevent damage to thewater supply linesat sub-freezingtemperatures.Shutofftheicemakeruntiltheproperambienttemperatureisresumed.
When the icemaker is not used for twoor threedays, it is sufficient to onlymove
62
theControlSwitch to the “OFF” position, unless the icemakerwill beat sub-freezingtemperatures.
