FOR THE INSTALLER
Installation Limitations: This ice system is designed to be installed indoors, in a controlled environment: Min Max 1000F Air Temperature 500F (Not including the remote condenser) 1000F Water Temperature 400F Water Pressure (psi) 20 80 Voltage 198 253 (Compared to the nameplate) Operating the machine outside of the limitations is misuse and can void the warranty. 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. This is not intended as a complete resource for water related questions, but it does offer these general recommendations: 1. Check with a water treatment specialist for a water test, and recommendations regarding filters and treatment. 2. In most cases, the water used to make ice should be filtered or treated, depending upon the water. There is no one type of water filter that will be effective in all situations. That is why a water test is important. 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 CUL. 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.
Location
Install the machine a location where it has enough space around it to be accessible for service, usually a minimum of 6 inches. Avoid hot, dirty and crowded locations. Be sure that the location for the machine is within its limitations for air and water temperatures.
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, instead lift it there. Pushing a bin, especially one with ice in it, can cause damage to the legs and the leg mounts.
Ice Machine
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.

Remote Condenser Location
Use the following for planning the placement of the condenser relative to the ice machine Location Limits - condenser location must not exceed ANY of the following limits: ·Maximum rise from the ice machine to the condenser is 35 physical feet
NME1854R & FME2404R
Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive prior written authorization from Scotsman. Do NOT: ·Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises.
·Maximum drop from the ice machine to the
condenser is 15 physical feet
Calculation Formula: ·Drop = dd x 6.6 (dd = distance in feet)
·Physical line set maximum length is 100 feet. ·Calculated line set length maximum is 150. ·Rise = rd x 1.7 (rd = distance in feet) ·Horizontal Run = hd x 1 (hd = distance in feet) ·Calculation: Drop(s) + Rise(s) + Horizontal Run
= dd+rd+hd = Calculated Line Length
·Route a line set that falls, then rises, then falls. Calculation Example 1: The condenser is to be located 5 feet below the ice machine and then 20 feet away horizontally. 5 feet x 6.6 = 33. 33 + 20 = 53. This location would be acceptable Calculation Example 2: The condenser is to be located 35 feet above and then 100 feet away horizontally. 35 x 1.7 = 59.5. 59.5 +100 = 159.5. 159.5 is greater than the 150 maximum and is NOT acceptable.

FOR THE INSTALLER: Remote Condenser
Location 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 Ice Machine, using the junction box at the back of the Ice Machine. PRECHARGED LINE ROUTING CAUTION Do not connect precharged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the coupling instructions for connecting information. 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 ...
