FOR THE INSTALLER
Double System RL
Select the Location: The unit can only be installed indoors within the limitations described on page 2. TYPICAL INSTALLATION: ALLOW ROOM FOR SERVICE ACCESS The ice machine will have to be connected to the building's R-404A refrigeration system, check to be sure that the system Ice Machine has AT LEAST enough extra capacity to handle the BTUs (from table on page 2) per hour @ 1100F. liquid line temperature (assume a 00F. evaporator temperature). Storage Bin: Scotsman's B90 will be the presumed bin of choice. If using the bin extension BX87, install heavy duty leg kit KLP4 and place the bin into position. Remove the paper tape from the bin edge gasket, and install the bin extension onto the B90. Remove the paper tape from the bin extension top edge, and using a mechanical lift, install the machine onto the top of the storage bin assembly. Fasten the ice machine to the bin using (4) 5/15-18 2.5" cap screws. BX87 BIN Level the assembly by: EXTENSION a. Turning the leg levelers in or out on the standard legs. b. Use shims under the heavy duty legs of B90 STORAGE BIN the KLP4. Locate the Nameplate: The nameplate is located on the back panel of the machine, and contains the electrical characteristics particular to the unit being installed. Refrigeration Installation: The skills of a refrigeration technician are required to connect the ice machine to the building's refrigeration system. Notes: back of the cabinet.
·Suction Line and Liquid Line Stubs are at the ·R-404A models: 1.5 ounces of R-404A
refrigerant is in the system as a holding charge.
·A P-trap should be installed where there will be
more than 10' of vertical rise in the suction line.
·R-22 models: Nitrogen is the holding charge ·Be sure there is enough BTU capacity. ·Be sure the liquid connection is NOT in series
with another liquid line valve.
·Local Codes must be observed.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES
Electrical Connections: Locate the nameplate for the current requirements, and then determine the wire size and type per the National Electric Code. The machine requires a solid chassis to earth ground wire. Refer to the wiring diagram. The ice machine should be connected to it's own electrical circuit, and be individually fused. Voltage, when the unit is under full load, must remain within the limitations listed on page 2. LOW VOLTAGE CAN CAUSE EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION AND/OR DAMAGE All external wiring should conform to the National, State, and local electrical codes. Usually the services of a licensed electrician will be required.

FOR THE PLUMBER
Water Supply: The recommended water supply line is 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, with a minimum operation pressure of 20 PSIG, and a maximum of 80 PSIG. Connect to cold water using the male flare connection at the back of the machine. Install a shut off valve in an accessible space between the ice maker and the water supply.
Double System RL
Drain System: All drains are of the gravity type, and must have a minimum of 1/4" fall per foot of horizontal run. The drains must be installed to conform to local plumbing codes. The use of a vent at the machine and at the bin will allow the system to drain properly. Use only rigid tubing for drains; insulation of the bin drain is recommended.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Final Check List
1. Is the unit installed where the air and water temperatures are within and will remain within the limitations for the unit? 2. Is there 6" clearance at the rear of the machine for utility connections? 3. Has the water supply line be checked for pressures between 20 and 80? 4. Has the unit been leveled? 5. Has the shipping material been removed from inside the cabinet? 6. Have the electrical connections been made? 7. Have the drains been installed and checked for leaks? 8. Has the refrigeration supply been installed and checked for leaks? 9. Has the bin and cabinet been wiped clean or sanitized? 10. Has the warranty registration card been properly filled out and mailed to Scotsman? 11. Has the owner been given the service manual and been instructed on how to maintain the ice maker? 13. Has the owner been given the name and telephone number of the local Scotsman service agency?

INITIAL START UP
1. Remove the top and front panels. 2. Open the water valve, and observe that the two float reservoirs fill up with water and shut off. 3. Switch on the electrical power. 4. Open the hand valves (in the liquid lines). 5. Open the ball valves (in the suction lines). 6. Switch on one master (mode) switch, and observe:
Double System RL
7. Switch on the other master (mode) switch, observe that:
·The liquid line valve opens ·The gearmotor runs ·Within a short time, that side of the machine
begins to make ice.
·Water flows from the water reservoir, and the
float drops, letting in more water. 8. With both sides operating, the sight glass should remain full, and the low side pressure will be about model types 2404, 1854 , 3004 or 2504 (R-404A):
· That liquid line valve opens · The gearmotor runs · Within a short time, that side of the machine
begins to make ice.
·36 PSIG, + or - 2 model types 2402 or 1852 (R-22): ·25 PSIG, + or - 2
· Water flows from the water reservoir, and the
float drops, letting in more water.
Gearmotor amp draw should not exceed the nameplate rating. 9. Check the system very carefully for any refrigerant leaks, repair as needed.

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
Liquid line valve(s) These valves operate to turn the ice making process on and off. When the ice level drops in the ice chute, the ice level sensor will cause the circuit board to close the liquid line relay, which energizes the liquid line valve for that side of the system. The liquid line valve opens, and liquid refrigerant flows to the thermostatic expansion valve. Thermostatic Expansion Valve The metering device of each system, the valve(s) sense the temperature of the suction line and vary the amount of liquid refrigerant that passes through the valve into the evaporator, thus maintaining a constant level of refrigeration. TXV's are factory set. Do not adjust unnecessarily. DO NOT ADJUST THE TXV UNTIL THE EPR HAS BEEN SET. The superheat setting is 4-80F. Measure the temperature of the evaporator outlet at the TXV bulb, and check the low side pressure at the EPR valve. Convert the pressure to temperature (using a temperature pressure chart) and subtract the amount from the outlet temperature. The result is the superheat. Use an electronic thermometer.
THERMO VALVE EPR VALVE
EPR: Evaporator Pressure Regulator Valve This valve maintains a constant pressure on its inlet (evaporators) side regardless of the pressure on the outlet (suction) side. The EPR is factory set, adjust only if needed. After adjusting, re-check TXV superheat. EPR Settings:
