thetwomountingbracketsandtwoboltsprovided.
See Fig. 4.
7) The icemaker must be connected to the liquid and
suction lines of the compressor system using two
copper tubes of sufficient sizes directed to the
rearoftheicemakerforconnectionto the pre-fitted
internal copper tubes. Both tubes should be
insulated separately.
Note: 1. The sizes of the interconnecting pipes
between the icemaker and the compressor
system should be 1/4” OD for the liquid line
and1/2”forthesuctionlineup toamaximum
of 20 m (assuming a straight run). For each
90° bend, add an equivalent 0.5 m to the
overall pipe length (E.g. 20 m straight pipe
+four90°bends=equivalent22mofstraight

2. When using a single compressor
refrigeration unit that is installed in a remote
location, ensure that it is adequately
protectedagainstlow ambienttemperatures
(capacity controls/crankcase heating), oil
returnwheretheicemakerisbelowtheheight
of the compressor (suction risers/oil traps/
oil separators) and liquid refrigerant return
where the icemaker is above the height of
the compressor (suction accumulator).
Always check the compressor
manufacturer’sguidelines.
3. An electrical link/connection between the
icemaker and compressor system is NOT
necessary. Where a multi compressor rack
system is used, the icemaker’s internal
controls will close the electrically operated
solenoid valves to stop ice production.
Where a single remote compressor is used,
thismust be fittedwith a low pressuresafety
switch to stop the compressor at approx.
0.5 bar suction pressure as the solenoid
valve’s closing will result in the compressor
pumpingdown.
8) After completing all the refrigeration tubing
connections, the pipe work should be leak tested,
evacuatedand vapour charged with R404A.
9) Open the ball valve to ensure the ice production
capacity when the compressor refrigeration
capacity is less than 1.6kW at an evaporating
temperature of -18°C, condensing temperature
43°C, return gas temperature 5°C, liquid
temperature43°Candambienttemperature35°C.
Close the ball valve to protect the icemaker when
the compressor refrigeration capacity is 1.6kW
or more.
10) The refrigeration connections are now complete.
Proceedto sections 4 and 5to continue withother
serviceconnectionrequirementsbeforecompleting
section 6, the start-up procedure.
11) Refit the Side and Top Panels in their correct
positions.
