November, 1988 Page 4 FM1200R FOR THE INSTALLER Location Typical Storage Bin with Extension and Bin Top After uncrating and inspection, the unit is ready for installation. It is important that the machine be installed in a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service, usually a minimum of 6 inches. Try to avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the machine is within the limitations described on page 3. Storage Bin Tip the storage bin on its back, using parts of the carton to protect the exterior finish. Install the legs into the threaded holes in the bottom of the bin. Turn the leg levelers all the way in preparation for leveling later. Return the bin to the upright position, remove paper covering the bin gasket. Install the bin top according to the directions with the bin top. Note: Do not push bin into position, but lift it there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it, can cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts. Ice Maker The machine is heavy, so the use of a mechanical lift is recommended for lifting the machine high enough to install on top of the bin. After the unit is placed on the bin, line it up so it is even with the back side. Secure the machine to the bin with the hardware provided with the machine. Remove the front panel and remove any shipping blocks. Note: Be sure to allow a 6" minimum space above the top of the machine for service. November, 1988 Page 5 FM1200R FOR THE INSTALLER: Remote Condenser Location Limited to a 40 foot or a 25 foot length of precharged refrigerant tubing connecting the icemaker to the remote condenser. The condenser must be above or level with the icemaker. Select the best available location, protecting the condenser from extremes of dirt, dust, and sun. Meet all applicable building codes. Usually the services of a licensed electrician are required. Roof Attachment 1. Install and attach the remote condenser 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. 2. Have an electrician connect the remote condenser fan motor to the icemaker, using the junction box at the back of the icemaker. PRECHARGED LINE ROUTING ////////////////////////////CAUTION///////////////////////////// Do not connect precharged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the coupling instructions, page for connecting instructions. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1. Each set of precharged refrigerant lines (either 25 foot or 40 foot) 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 a schrader valve connection, that end goes to the condenser. 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 3/4 inch. 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. Any excess tubing MUST be retained within the building. 4. Spiral the excess length of pre charged tubing inside the building. Use a horizontal spiral (as illustrated) to avoid any traps in the lines. 5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes. REMOTE CONDENSER SPIRAL EXCESS TUBING INSIDE BUILDING LOCATE REMOTE CONDENSER ABOVE ICEMAKER November, 1988 Page 6 FM1200R FOR THE INSTALLER: Precharged Lines 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. 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. Connect the 3/8 inch liquid line (schrader valve end) to the remote condenser fitting marked "liquid line". 6. Connect the other end of the liquid line to the icemaker fitting marked "liquid line." SERVICE PORTS REMOTE CONDENSER 7. Connect the 1/2 inch discharge line (schrader valve end) to the remote condenser fitting marked "discharge line". 8. Connect the other end of the liquid line to the icemaker fitting marked "discharge line". 9. After all connections are made, and after the king valve has been opened, check the couplings for leaks. 3/8" LIQUID LINE 1/2" DISCHARGE LINE SCHRADER VALVE NO SCHRADER VALVE TO REMOTE CONDENSER TO ICEMAKER November, 1988 Page 7 FM1200R FOR THE INSTALLER: Location TWO UNITS ON ONE CONDENSER REMOTE CONDENSER ROOF CUTAWAY EXCESS PRECHARGED TUBING INSIDE BUIDLING ICEMAKERS SERVICE ACCESS SERVICE ACCESS SIDE AND BACK WALL CUTAWAY November, 1988 Page 8 FM1200R FOR THE PLUMBER CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES Water Inlet WATER INLET 3/8" MALE FLARE FIELD SUPPLIED WATER FILTER HAND SHUT OFF VALVE The recommended water supply is cold water. Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, connect to the 3/8" male flare at the back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply. Drains VENT ICEMAKER There is one 3/4" FPT drain at the DRAIN, 3/4" FPT back of the cabinet, the drain line is of the gravity type, and 1/4 inch per foot fall is an acceptable pitch for the drain tubing. There should be a vent at the highest point of the drain line, and the ideal drain receptacle would be a trapped and vented floor drain. Use only 3/4" rigid tubing. Storage Bin: A separate gravity type drain needs to be run. Insulation of this drain line is recommended.
