CME865R & CME1002R PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION These two models are modular ice cube machines that are designed to be connected to a remote condenser. The remote condenser coil must be of adequate size and must NOT have been used with a mineral oil refrigeration system. Specific Scotsman remote condensers are recommended. A stacking kit (KSCMS) is required for stacking these ice machines. It interconnects the sonor bin ice level controls. A CME865 or CME1002 may only be stacked onto models CME865, CME1002, MCM860, MCM1062 or CMS1002. These models will fit any 30" wide Scotsman bin, such as the BH550 or HTB555, without a bin top. Other bins require a bin top. Note: The sonar transducer, located in the base of the machine, must NOT be covered by installation material (such as a non-Scotsman bin top). The transducer must have clear access to the ice to be able to sense the ice level. See page 5 for location.

Minimum Air Temp Water Temp Water Pressure Voltage 50 F. 400F. 20 PSI 197 0 Water Limitations An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant; it takes a raw material, water, and turns it into a food product, ice. The purity of the water is very important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing product life. These general recommendations should help keep the ice maker clean: 1. Filter the water used to produce ice. Water filters vary greatly in ability and function. Install one that filters out suspended solids to a dimension of 5 microns or smaller. The finer the filter the better, but finer filters will clog sooner than course ones. It may be necessary to add a course filter ahead of the fine filter to prolong filter life. 2. Check with a water treatment specialist for a water test, and recommendations regarding filters and treatment. Service Limitations Some space on the sides, the back and the top should be allowed for service and utility connections. Maximum 1000F. 1000F. 80 PSI 253 Operating the ice machine outside of the above limitations, or outdoors, is potentially damaging to the machine; also it is misuse of the machine, which may void the warranty. Scotsman Ice Systems are designed and manufactured with the highest regard for safety and performance. They meet or exceed the standards of UL, NSF, and CSA. Scotsman assumes no liability or responsibility of any kind for products manufactured by Scotsman that have been altered in any way, including the use of any part and/or other components not specifically approved by Scotsman. Scotsman reserves the right to make design changes and/or improvements at any time. Specifications and design are subject to change without notice. September, 1994 Page 5 CME865R & CME1002R FOR THE INSTALLER: Machine & Bin Assembly Overview: This ice system consists of 4 major assemblies: 1. The ice storage bin. 2. The ice maker itself. 3. The interconnecting refrigerant lines. 4. The remote condenser. Additionally, there will be interconnecting wires between the ice maker and the condenser. The Scotsman remote condenser is powered from the ice maker. The condenser must be located above the ice maker, usually on the roof. On the back of the cabinet is the following notice: REMOTE CONDENSER NOTICE This unit has been designed for use with Underwriter's Laboratories Inc. listed forced air cooled condensers, Scotsman models RCE1001-32A or RCE1002-32A or ERC301. The ice maker, condenser and connecting line sets are factory charged with the correct amount of refrigerant and therefore require no charging in the field unless the system should be opened for service repairs. If other forced air cooled condensers are being considered for use with this ice maker, prior approval from Scotsman is necessary to insure proper system operation. Any alternate forced air cooled condenser being considered must be listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Certified with C.S.A. and have a minimum design pressure of 500 P .S.I.G. CAUTION A suitable ground path must be provided between the remote condenser cabinet and the ice maker cabinet if the condenser fan is powered from the ice maker. IMPORTANT In order to prevent compressor damage due to refrigerant migration, and to insure acceptable start up, a crankcase heater has been installed on the compressor. This heater is wired to operate at all times. Upon initial start up and any time the unit power supply is interrupted for more than one hour, the machine should not be started for at least 4 hours after the power supply has been reconnected to the machine. Storage Bin: 1. Measure the location of the ice machine floor drain relative to the installed location of the bin. Route all drain lines so that when the machine is installed in its normal position, the drain tubes terminate just above the floor drain. 2. Using corner posts from the bin's carton as a cushion, lay the bin on its back. 3. Install the legs into the leg sockets. 4. Move bin back to an upright position. 5. Remove all material that is packed inside the bin. Ice Maker: 1. Arrange for proper electric, water and drain. See instructions for the plumber and for the electrician. 2. Position the ice storage bin in the selected location which should have a minimum room temperature of 50-degrees F. and maximum room temperature of 100 degrees F. 3. Inspect the bin top mounting gasket which should be flat, with no wrinkles, to provide a good water seal when the cuber is installed on top of the bin. 4. Install the modular cuber on top of the bin using care to be sure a good seal is made between the two cabinets, use of a mechanical lift is recommended. Align the holes in the bottom back of the cabinet to mate with the two mounting straps on the top rear of the bin. 5. Use bolts and straps found in the hardware package to secure the ice machine to the ice storage bin. When alignment and leveling are completed, tighten the bolts to secure the mounting straps. Remote Condenser: A new condenser coil designed for the machine's capacity MUST be used. Because of the possibility of mineral oil contamination, coils and line sets that had been connected to R-12, R-502 or R-22 units MAY NOT BE CONNECTED TO THIS SYSTEM. Doing so voids the refrigeration system warranty. January 1998 Page 6 CME865R & CME1002R FOR THE PLUMBER Water Supply The recommended water supply line is a 3/8-inch O.D. tubing with a minimum operating pressure of 20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG. Connect to cold water supply line with standard plumbing fittings, with shut off valve installed in an accessible place between the water supply and the cuber. In some cases a plumber will be required. Drain Connections: All drains are gravity type and must have a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot fall on horizontal runs. VENT FOR ICE MACHINE DRAIN The drains to be installed must conform with the local plumbing codes. Use only 3/4" rigid tubing. The ice machine's drain must be separate from the bin's drain. Both use 3/4" FPT fittings. Insulation of the bin drain is recommended. Install a vertical open vent on the drain line(s) high point to ensure proper draining. The ideal drain receptacle is a trapped and vented floor drain. CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL CODES. 3/4" FPT DRAIN FITTING 3/8" MALE FLARE WATER INLET WATER TREATMENT DEVICE BIN DRAIN 3/4" FPT OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE BIN SHUT OFF VALVE VENT FOR BIN DRAIN BACK VIEW OF MACHINE ON BIN: INLET WATER AND DRAIN CONNECTIONS FLOOR DRAIN September, 1994 Page 7 CME865R & CME1002R FOR THE INSTALLER: Remote Condenser Locate the condenser as near as possible to the interior location of the ice maker. Location of the condenser is limited by the specific length of pre-charged refrigerant tubing supplied for the application. The pre-charged tubing connects the ice maker to the remote condenser. The condenser must be above the ice maker. Select the best available location, protecting the condenser from extremes of dirt, dust, and sun. Meet all applicable building codes. Roof Attachment: Install and attach the remote condenser unit to the roof of the building, using the methods and practices of construction that conform to the local building codes, including having a roofing contractor secure the condenser to the roof. Pre-charged Line Routing CAUTION Do not connect pre-charged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the coupling instructions for connecting instructions. 1. Each set of precharged refrigerant lines consists of a 3/8 inch diameter liquid line, and a 1/2 inch diameter discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, one end has access valves: that end goes to the ice maker. Note: The openings in the building ceiling or wall, listed in the next step, are the minimum sizes recommended for passing the refrigerant lines through. 2. Have the roofing contractor cut a minimum hole for the refrigerant lines of 1.75". Check local codes, a separate hole may be required for the electrical power to the condenser. CAUTION DO NOT KINK OR CRIMP REFRIGERANT TUBING WHEN INSTALLING IT. 3. Route the refrigerant lines through the roof opening. Follow straight line routing whenever possible. January 1998 Page 8 PRE-CHARGED REFRIGERANT LINE SET SCOTSMAN REMOTE CONDENSER Any excess tubing MUST be retained within the building. 4. Spiral any excess length of pre charged tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal spiral (as illustrated) to avoid any traps in the lines. Note: Actual spiral need not be as tight as shown. 5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes. Note: Only a holding charge is in the precharged line set. CME865R & CME1002R FOR THE INSTALLER: Coupling Instructions CAUTION The couplings on the sets of precharged lines are self sealing when installed properly. Carefully follow the instructions: 1. Remove the protector caps and plugs. Wipe the seats and threaded surfaces with a clean cloth to be certain that no foreign matter remains on them. 2. Lubricate the inside of the couplings, especially the O-Rings with refrigerant oil. 3. Begin tightening the couplings together by hand, then using two wrenches (it is important that ONLY the nut on the precharged lines be turned, the other parts of the couplings must NOT be allowed to turn or the process will tear out the diaphragms and they will be loose in the refrigeration system) tighten the coupling until it bottoms out or a definite increase in resistance is felt. ONLY TURN NUT ON TUBING KIT, HOLD TUBING STATIONARY USE TWO WRENCHES · The 3/8 inch liquid line (schrader valve end) goes to the remote condenser fitting marked "liquid line". · The other end of the liquid line goes to the ice maker fitting marked "liquid line." · The 1/2 inch discharge line (schrader valve end) goes to the remote condenser fitting marked "discharge line". · The other end of the discharge line goes to the ice maker fitting marked "discharge line". 4. Using a marker or pen, mark a line lengthwise from the coupling union nut to the bulkhead. Then tighten the coupling and additional 1/4 turn. As the nut turns, the line will show when 1/4 turn is made. 5. After all connections are made, and after the king valve has been opened, check the couplings for leaks. September, 1994 Page 9 CME865R & CME1002R FOR THE ELECTRICIAN: Electrical Connections See the NAMEPLATE for current requirements to determine wire size to be used for electrical hookup. The cuber requires a solid chassis to chassis earth ground wire. See Wiring Diagram. Be certain the cuber is connected to its own electrical circuit and individually fused. Voltage variation should not exceed ten percent of the nameplate rating, even under starting conditions. Low voltages can cause erratic operation and may be responsible for serious damage to the ice maker. Electrical connections are made at the rear of the ice maker, inside the junction box. CAUTION Do not switch the ice maker on at this time, make certain the master and compressor switches are OFF when power is connected to the ice maker. Power must be connected to the ice maker long enough in advance of start up to allow the crankcase heater to warm the compressor, usually about 12 hours. Scotsman Condenser: Separate electrical connections are made from the ice maker to the condenser, as there is line power interconnecting the ice maker to the condenser. All external wiring should conform to the national, state and local electrical code requirements. Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician will be required. REMOTE CONDENSER ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (SCOTSMAN CONDENSER) POWER SUPPLY TO REMOTE SCOTSMAN CONDENSER POWER SUPPLY TO ICE MAKER TERMINAL STRIPS September, 1994 Page 10 CME865R & CME1002R FOR THE INSTALLER: Final Check List 1. Is the ice maker cabinet in a room where ambient temperatures are within the minimum and maximum temperatures specified? 2. Is there clearance at both sides of the cabinet and at the back and top for service and utility connections? 3. Has water supply pressure been checked to insure a minimum of 20 PSIG and a maximum of 80 PSIG operating pressure? 4. Is the cabinet level? 5. Check that any shipping material has been removed from inside the cabinet. 6. Have all electrical and piping connections been made? 7. Are the On/Off/Wash and Compressor switches set to the OFF position? 8. Has power been connected to the ice maker? 9. Is the water supply line shut off valve installed? 10. Check all refrigerant lines and conduit lines, to guard against vibration or rubbing and possible failure. 11. Have the bin and cabinet been wiped clean and sanitized? 12. Has the Field Quality Audit form been properly filled out? Check for correct model and serial numbers from Serial nameplate, then mail the completed form to the SCOTSMAN factory. 13. Has the owner been given the name and telephone number of the authorized SCOTSMAN Service Agency serving him? September, 1994 Page 11 CME865R & CME1002R INITIAL START UP Remote Condenser: 1. Check that all connections have been made. Ice Maker: 1. Remove front panel by pulling out to unsnap. 2. Remove two screws and the control box cover. 3. Remove the evaporator cover. 4. Remove the left side service panel. 5. Check that the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch and the Compressor ON-OFF toggle switch are in the OFF position, on the control box. 6. Locate and open the king (service) valve on the receiver. Check that the crankcase heater has "KING" been on long enough to warm the compressor VALVE dome (about 4 hours). 7. OPEN the water supply line shut off valve. 8. Inside the control box is the shaft of the timer and the switch assembly. Rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly clockwise to where the actuator arm on the micro switch drops off outer cam into cam slot. See Timer Cam Positions. 9. Move the ON/WASH/OFF rocker switch to the ON position. EVAPORATOR COVER ON/WASH/OFF SWITCH 10. Observe water fill cycle: The water pump will be operating and the water inlet solenoid valve will OPEN. Incoming water flows from the valve through the tubing, the reservoir fills and excess water drains out the machine drain. At the end of the harvest cycle, the water inlet solenoid valve will close and the water fill cycle is complete. If the reservoir is not full, turn the shaft of the timer clockwise into a new harvest cycle; this opens the water valve again. The water pump pumps water up to the water distributor at the top of each evaporator plate, where water is uniformly dispensed, cascades down both sides of each evaporator plate and drains back into the reservoir for recirculation. 11. Check that the water cascades down over the cube molds and into the reservoir. Note: some spray is normal when the machine is new. 12. When the reservoir is full, move the compressor ON-OFF switch, to the ON position. TIMER CAM POSITIONS ACTUATOR MICRO SWITCH CAM & SHAFT HARVEST PORTION FREEZE PORTION 13. Observe the first freezing cycle: Feel the metal parts of the evaporator plate; they should feel cold, and very shortly ice will begin to form. The tubing will become frosted at the top of the evaporator plate. Freezing time will be longer than average for the first cycle. Average complete cycle time is about 13 - 16 minutes. April 1995 Page 12 CME865R & CME1002R INITIAL START UP 14. Check CUBE SIZE The dimensions of the cubes are fixed by the size and shape of the molds on the evaporator plate, except that the thickness of the cube MAY need to be adjusted at start up. There is only one size of cube that is correct; adjusting the cube size control to that size of cube will allow the ice maker to produce ice at its most efficient size. The correct size cubes will be fully formed at the edges; will harvest off of the evaporators beginning with individual cubes at the top of the evaporator, then vertical strips for the balance; and will appear similar to the illustration for "Correct Size Cube". Adjust for the correct size if needed: To produce SMALLER sized ice cubes: Locate cube size control knob, in the front of the control box. Rotate this knob one eighth of a turn counter clockwise. Observe size of the ice cubes in the next ice cube harvest and adjust again if needed, until the correct ice cube is achieved. To produce LARGER ice cubes: Locate cube size control on the front of the control box. Rotate the knob one eighth of a turn clockwise. Observe size of ice cubes in the next cube harvest and adjust again until correct the ice cube size is achieved. 15. Check harvest time. The machine must harvest all of the cubes before returning to a freeze cycle. Increase the harvest time if there is less than 15 seconds of harvest time after the last cube has fallen into the bin. Decrease the harvest time if there is much more than 15 seconds of harvest time after the last cube has fallen into the bin. Note: Harvest time is dependent upon the water and air temperatures at the ice machine. Do not adjust harvest time too short, as this will cause a freeze up. See the next page for detailed harvest time adjustment instructions. 16. Check ICE BIN LEVEL CONTROL The amount of ice maintained in the bin is adjustable. The normal setting is "full". If desired, the machine may be adjusted to shut off the machine when the bin is only partially full. 1. Open the bin door and locate on the bottom of the ice machine, the ice level sensor. It's in a TOO THIN Note: Optimum performance will be achieved when the ice machine is adjusted to produce this size and shape of cube. The typical batch weight at this setting is between 8.25 and 9 pounds. CORRECT 1 1/4" SIZE CUBE CUBES (ACTUAL SIZE) TOO THICK 1 1/4" socket about 2" in diameter and located left of the evaporator plates. 2. When the machine is running, wait until near the end of a "harvest" cycle. 3. Hold a flat object about the size of this service manual over the ice level sensor socket. 4. The ice machine should turn off at the end of the harvest cycle. 5. Slowly lower the flat object straight down. 6. The ice machine will start again at the point where it will maintain the ice level. 17. Replace all panels. September, 1994 Page 13 CME865R & CME1002R ADJUSTMENTS Adjustment Of The Timer & Switch Assembly TIMER CAM POSITIONS MICRO ACTUATOR SWITCH CAM & SHAFT One complete revolution of the cam on the timer represents eight minutes. If left as factory set, four and one-half minutes comprise the freezing cycle portion during cam rotation, and the final three and one-half minutes is the defrost/harvest cycle. Rotating the shaft of the timer cam clockwise will put the ice machine in the freeze or harvest cycle. Disconnect electrical power before beginning. To adjust the timer & switch assembly: HARVEST PORTION 1. Remove front panel. 2. Remove control box cover. A. To start the HARVEST CYCLE: Slowly rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly clockwise until the actuator arm on the micro switch begins the harvest cycle. FREEZE PORTION B. To start the FREEZING CYCLE: Slowly rotate the shaft of the timer and switch assembly clockwise, until the actuator arm on the micro switch starts the freezing cycle. C. To adjust the length of the harvest cycle: 1. Loosen the adjustment screw on the cam, and rotate the shaft of the cam to move the top part of the assembly. More of a gap between the high and low portions will yield more harvest time. 2. Tighten the set screw. SHAFT OF CAM TIMER ADJUSTMENT MICRO SWITCH 3. Replace the control box cover and front panel. It. is important that the length of the harvest cycle allow enough time for all the ice cubes to fall from the evaporator. Too short of a time will cause the evaporator to freeze up and stop harvesting ice. Too much time wastes ice making capacity, energy and water. Adjustment of the harvest cycle may require an adjustment of the cube size control. Adjust Bin Ice Level 1. Locate ice level control switch. 2. Move switch to the desired position. 3. To test, wait until the ice machine is near the end of a "harvest" cycle, if there is ice in the bin higher than the position the ice level control is set for, the ice machine will turn OFF at the end of the harvest cycle. If no ice in the bin, test again as described under, "To Test The Ice Level Setting". SET SCREW September, 1994 Page 14 CME865R & CME1002R COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Compressor Contactor The compressor contactor carries the compressor line current. The contactor is wired so any control in the pilot circuit, such as the bin control, and high pressure controls, etc., will cause the contactor holding coil to be de energized, when the control contact OPENS, thereby breaking the circuit to the compressor. Cube Size Control This reverse acting (closes on temperature fall) thermostat determines how long the freezing cycle will be. The cube size control closes its contacts when the evaporator cools to the set temperature, starting the timer. A variation in heat load (either ambient air or incoming water temperature) will affect the efficiency of the refrigeration system, and that will vary the length of time it takes the evaporators to cool to the temperature at which the cube size control is set to close, which, in turn, will affect the overall cycle time. See CUBE SIZE ADJUSTMENT BEFORE attempting to adjust the control. Relay The multi-function, three pole, double throw, relay plugs into a socket on the printed circuit board in the control box. The relay functions in part to by-pass the bin control during the harvest and freeze cycles, preventing the ice maker from shutting off in the middle of a cycle. The bypass action allows only complete freeze and harvest cycles; the only time that the ice maker can shut off on bin control is as the end of the harvest cycle. Timer - Timer & Switch Assembly The timer begins to turn when activated by the cube size control. The outer surface, or large diameter lobe of the timer cam, determines the length of time for finish freezing of the ice cubes, while the inner surface, or small diameter lobe, determines length of the harvest cycle. The single-pole, double throw micro switch on the timer controls the power to the plug in relay coil, making it either the freezing or harvest cycle. The micro switch is actuated by a cam assembly directly connected to the timer motor. The timer cam can be adjusted to vary the defrost time, as required. One complete rotation of the cam will take eight minutes. Harvest is preset at 2 and a quarter minutes. Hot Gas Solenoid Valve The hot gas solenoid valve opens only during the harvest cycle. When it opens, it diverts the hot discharge gases so that they flow directly into the evaporator plates, by-passing the condenser and thermostatic expansion valve. The hot gases warm the evaporators, releasing the ice cubes from the ice cube molds. The hot gas solenoid valve is installed in a branch of the discharge line from the compressor, and when the timer switches the ice machine into the harvest cycle, the energized solenoid coil lifts the valve stem within the valve body, allowing the hot discharge gas to be diverted to the evaporators. High Temperature Cut Out This temperature sensor is located next to the hot gas valve, on the outlet side. During normal operation, it does not affect the ice machine, but it will shut the machine off if the hot gas line overheats. It is an automatic reset. September, 1994 Page 15 CME865R & CME1002R COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Ice Level Control This electronic control uses sound waves to measure the distance between the bottom of the ice machine and the top of the ice in the bin. It is designed to control the machines ice production to maintain that distance. The control is adjustable so that the ice machine will maintain a certain height of ice. It will not fill any closer to the ice machine than 8", and will not work if the distance to the bottom of the bin is greater than 8 feet. Because it uses sound waves, a slight "ticking" sound can be heard coming from the bottom of the machine. ON/OFF/WASH SWITCH ICE LEVEL SELECTOR SWITCH THE USER CAN SELECT THE AMOUNT OF ICE TO BE MAINTAINED IN THE BIN. FULL PARTIAL September, 1994 Page 16 CME865R & CME1002R COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Electric Water Inlet Valve The water inlet solenoid valve fills the reservoir assembly with water. Excess water overflows out the overflow standpipe located at the back of the reservoir. This action fills and rinses the reservoir during each harvest cycle. The flow rate is .75 g.p.m. Water Distribution System The water distribution system evenly supplies water to all cells of the evaporator plates. The water pump pumps water from the reservoir up the vertical tygon tube to the tee. From there water is channeled through the water manifold to the water distributors, above each evaporator plate, and from six holes within each distributor, water flows to the cells of each side of the evaporator plates. Gravity flow returns the unfrozen excess portion of water to the reservoir for recirculation. Reservoir The reservoir, located below the evaporators, stores the inlet water charge, and collects the water that flows over the evaporator plates. High Pressure Safety Control This is a manual reset control that shuts down the ice maker, should the discharge pressure ever reach 450 PSIG.

RESERVOIR DRAIN ON/OFF/WASH SWITCH September, 1994 Page 21 CME865R & CME1002R FREEZING CYCLE OPERATION Water from the sump assembly is pumped to the water distributor system at the top of each evaporator plate. From the water distributor the water cascades by gravity over all cells of the plate and to the sump assembly below. At the beginning of the freezing cycle the water pump, fan motor and compressor have power. The water pump operates continuously, through both the freezing cycle and the harvest cycle. During the freezing cycle, the hot gas solenoid valve and the water inlet solenoid valve are CLOSED. When the ice cubes are partially formed, the cube size control will CLOSE. This will complete an electrical circuit to the timer motor. The timer will keep the ice maker operating in the freezing cycle for a selected length of time. This will give the ice cubes time to fully form. After that selected length of time, the timer will switch the ice maker into the harvest cycle, through the contacts of the timer assembly micro switch. Low Temperature Freeze: When the outside air temperature is low, the Head Pressure Regulator will close off the liquid line to the receiver, causing liquid refrigerant to back up into the condenser until the head pressure builds up to 220 PSIG. While this is occurring, the head pressure regulator passes discharge gas into the receiver to keep the refrigerant flowing. EVAPORATORS DISCHARGE LINE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM SCHEMATIC September, 1994 Page 22 CME865R & CME1002R HARVEST CYCLE - HOT GAS BYPASS When the timer switches the ice maker into the harvest cycle, high pressure, high temperature refrigerant gas being discharged from the compressor is diverted from the condenser through the hot gas solenoid valve into each evaporator plate. During this cycle, the refrigerant bypasses the condenser. In the electrical circuit, both the compressor and the water pump are operating and the hot gas solenoid valve is energized and OPEN and the water inlet solenoid valve is OPEN. The finished ice cubes are released from the sides of each evaporator plate by the warming effect of the hot gas condensing in each evaporator plate and the water cascading over the ice cubes. The released ice cubes drop into the ice storage bin below. At the end of the harvest cycle, the timer cam will push the actuator arm to the micro switch IN. If the ice level control is still CLOSED, a whole new cycle will begin. If the ice level control is OPEN, the ice maker will begin to shut OFF.
