Technical Specications
Installation
Note: Installation should be performed by a trained Service Technician. For proper operation of the ice
machine, the following installation guidelines must be followed. Failure to do so may result in loss of production
capability, premature part failure, and may void any warranties.
AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURES
Minimum Operating Temperature: 50°F (10°C).
Maximum Operating Temperature: 100°F (38°C).
Note: The unit is not designed for outdoor use.
INCOMING WATER SUPPLY
Minimum incoming water temperature: 40°F (5°C).
Maximum incoming water temperature: 90°F (32°C).
Minimum incoming water pressure: 15 psig.
Maximum incoming water pressure: 80 psig.
Note: If water pressure exceeds 80 psig, a water pressure regulator must be installed.
DRAINS
Route bin drain, purge drain and water condenser drain must be individually connected to a oor drain. The
use of condensation pumps for draining water on equipment should not produce over 200 lbs./day. Omcan
assumes no responsibility for improperly installed equipment.

6
Installation
WATER FILTRATION
A water lter system should be installed with the ice machine.
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
The unit must have a minimum of 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance at the rear, top, and sides of the ice machine
for proper air circulation. When using models which are located under the counter, circulation occurs from the
front. Top and side clearances are minimal.
STACKING
Omcan does not recommend stacking the unit.
DISPENSER APPLICATION
A thermostatic bin control kit must be installed if the ice machine is placed on a dispenser. A bin top may or
may not be required.
Operation
There are 3 systems: the Cooling System, the Water System and the Electrical System.
During the ice-making stage, the hot gas valve is closed. The hot refrigerant gas is pumped out of the
compressor to the condenser. The hot gas is cooled by a fan after passing through the condenser. The drier
and lter will reduce possible dirt and moisture in the refrigerant. The refrigerant expands in the evaporator
cooling so water will freeze. The low pressure refrigerant gas returns to the compressor from the evaporator
where the cycle continues. During the ice harvest stage, the valve is open. The hot refrigerant gas is pumped
out of the compressor to the evaporator through the hot gas valve. Since the hot gas i not cooled by the
condenser, the refrigerant warms the evaporator. Ice in contact with the evaporator begins to melt on the back
side. The ice gradually ice slides off of the evaporator and drops to the storage bin. When the water inlet is
connected with the main water supply, water will ll the trough through the oat valve until the water level
in the trough closes the valve. During the ice-making stage, water is pumped from the water trough to the
water distribution tube. The distributed water ows over the surface of the cold evaporator where the water is
converted to ice. The unfrozen water will return to the trough. At the end of the freeze cycle and during harvest,
the water dump valve is opened and the remaining water is pumped down the drain.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. First time usage: The ice-maker must be properly installed. Switch the water tap on, let the water trough
ll, then turn the power switch to the ON position on the back panel. The ice-maker will start working
automatically. In this stage, the time is xed about 3 minutes. At this status, the White, Green, Yellow and

7
Operation
Red LEDs are light together.
2. Ice-making Status: The compressor, motor fan and pump are on. The hot gas valve is off. When the green
LED is lit, the unit is working in the ice making mode controlled by a temperature probe on the evaporator.
When the green LED is ashing, the unit is working in the ice making mode controlled by a xed timer. The
fan motor is also controlled by the condenser sensor. When the ambient temperature is too low, the motor
fan stops working.
3. Ice Harvest Status: The pump is off. The hot gas valve, compressor and motor fan are on. The fan motor
is also controlled by the condenser sensor. When the ambient temperature is too low, the motor fan stops
working. The Yellow LED indicates the ice harvest status.
4. Ice Full Status And Cold Preservation Stage: If the ice bin is lled with ice, the machine stops making
ice and turns to the cold preservation stage automatically. In this stage, the compressor works regularly
to keep the low temperatures so ice does not melt. The rest of the electric components are off. The
WHITE LED indicates the ice full status and the GREEN AND YELLOW LEDs together indicates the cold
preservation status.
5. Cleaning Status: Turn the machine’s CLEAN SWITCH to CLEAN for 3 minutes after the POWER SWITCH
is turned on. At this stage, the pump is on. Compressor, motor fan and are off. The GREEN and YELLOW
LEDs are ashing together. To stop the cleaning mode, turn the machine “OFF” or the unit will turn off
automatically after 30 minutes. NOTE: In order to start the Clean Status the unit must be on. The CLEAN
switch must be turned on within 3 minutes before the COMPRESSOR starts. Do not turn the CLEAN switch
on when machine is in ice-making status or ice-harvest status.
CONTROLLER BOX
Instructions for LEDs and buttons:
1. White LED: Ice full indicator light. When this LED is lit, the ice storage bin is full of ice or there is something
between the ice-full sensor and the evaporator. The unit will stop making ice. When ice cubes are taken out
of the ice storage bin making the ice-full probe free, the white LED will ash for 3 minutes. Then the unit will
restart and return to the ice making mode.
2. Green LED: Ice making indicator light. When this LED is lit, the unit is working in the ice making mode
controlled by a temperature probe on the evaporator. When the green LED is ashing, the unit is working in
the ice making mode controlled by a xed timer.
3. Yellow LED: Ice harvest indicator light. When this LED is lit, the unit is working in the ice harvest mode
controlled by ice-full probe. When green LED and yellow LED is lit, it means the unit is working in the cold
preservation stage .
4. Red LED: power indicator light. The unit is on when the red LED is lit.
5. Mode button: Mainly for service. When this button is pressed, it can change from ice making mode to ice
harvest mode, or from ice harvest mode to ice making mode. You can see the change of the mode from the
status of the green and yellow LEDs.
NOTE: If during the ice size adjustment, the “BIN FULL”, “ICE” and “HARVEST” LEDS blink all at once, this
indicates that the unit is in the default factory setting of the ice size adjustment.

8
Operation
CONTROL BOARD CHECKS
Timer Initiate
The timer initiate is a temperature sensor mounted on the liquid line to the evaporator. When the sensor
detects the correct low temperature, the freeze timer starts and the machine enters the timed portion of the
freeze cycle. When the freeze timer starts, the machine is in the timed portion of the freeze cycle. When
the machine enters harvest, the temperature rises, but the amount of time the machine is in harvest is
predetermined and is controlled by the Controller Board. Once the time has passed, the machine will enter the
harvest cycle. The timer is not adjustable, but the temperature at which the timer is initiated is adjustable.
ICE SIZE ADJUSTMENT
1. Press and hold the “Clean” button and the “Mode” button together for at least 3 seconds. The unit will
enter the Ice Size Adjustment mode. The GREEN LED will be blinking continuously during the ice size
adjustment.
2. While in the Ice Size Adjustment mode, press the “Clean” button or the “Mode” button for the desired ice
size.
Smaller ice setting: By pressing the “Clean” button, you can decrease the size of the ice cubes. The RED LED
will ash as you lower the ice size and will nally be blinking at the setting of smallest ice size.
Larger ice setting: By pressing the “Mode” button, you can increase the size of the ice cubes. The YELLOW
LED will ash as the larger size is set and will blink when the setting of largest ice size has been reached. After
10 seconds without any operation, the unit will automatically memorize the current setting and return to the
previous mode.
BIN CONTROL OPERATION
The bin control is used to shut the machine off when the bin lls with ice. The bin control must be checked
upon installation or initial startup and
when performing maintenance. There
is one bin switch for each evaporator.
The actuator arm of the bin switch
comes in contact with the splash
curtain. When the bin is full of ice,
the splash curtain is held open when
ice drops off of the evaporator. This
releases the pressure of the bin switch
actuator arm allowing the switch to
open. Units placed under counters
and machines without curtains: An ice slide at the bottom of the evaporator is used on all under the counter
units and some modular units. The slideway swivels up and down and has a magnetic reed switch which
detects its position. When ice is sitting on the control, the slideway faces down indicating that ice is present
(and disconnecting the circuit from the reed switch). When the ice is removed, the slideway swivels up and the

9
Operation
connection is completed allowing the machine to begin producing ice again.
BIN CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
All Models (except those without curtains): Check the bin switch for proper adjustment by swinging the bottom
of the curtain away from the evaporator. Slowly bring the curtain towards the evaporator. The switch should
close when the bottom edge of the curtain is even with the outer edge of the water trough. Adjust the switch
by loosening the screws which hold the switch in place. Move the switch to the proper position and retighten
the screws. Recheck the adjustment. Under the counter models or those without curtains: There are no
adjustments needed for the bin (magnetic reed) switch.
Maintenance
Before Maintenance:
1. Ensure the electrical supply is 115 VAC, 60Hz, 15A and is properly grounded to protect maintenance
personnel.
2. If any electrical parts are loose or if there is a danger of short circuiting, disconnect the power immediately.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
1. Cleaning should be performed at least every 6 months. Local water conditions may require that cleaning be
performed more often.
2. Check the ice bridge thickness. The thickness should be between 1/16-1/8’’.
3. Check the water level in trough. Check for proper water level and adjustment and troubleshoot if there is an
incorrect level.
4. Clean the condenser to ensure proper air ow.
5. Check for leaks of any kind: Water, Refrigerant, Oil, Etc.
6. Check the bin switch for proper adjustment.
7. Check all electrical connections.

ADVANCED COMPONENT TROUBLESHOOTING TECHNIQUES
Refrigerant Cycle and Components
Before diagnosing the refrigeration system, it is very important that the refrigeration charge is correct.
Whenever the refrigeration system has been opened, the lter drier must be replaced and the proper
refrigerant charge must be weighed in.
Refrigerant Pressures
The suction pressure at the beginning of the freeze cycle can vary +/10 psi (.7 bar) depending on operating
conditions. Pressures less than this may indicate an undercharge. The discharge pressure on air cooled units
will vary with ambient conditions. Refrigerant in a gas state is pumped throughout the refrigeration system by
a hermetic compressor to the condenser. Heat is removed from the refrigerant either by forced air movement
through an air cooled condenser or transferring heat from the refrigerant to water through a water cooled
condenser. The refrigerant changes to a liquid when cooled. The refrigerant in a liquid state passes through a
lter drier. The lter drier traps small amounts of moisture and foreign particles from the system. The lter drier
must be replaced whenever the refrigeration system is opened or if the refrigerant has been completely lost.
Compressor
The compressor runs during the entire cycle. If the valves in the compressor are damaged, the compressor
will be unable to pump refrigerant efciently. Damaged valves may be the result of another problem in the
refrigeration system. When a compressor is replaced it is important that the refrigeration charge be weighed
in and the system checked for proper operation to prevent a repeat failure. An inefcient compressor will
usually have a higher than normal suction pressure at the end of the cycle. The freeze cycle will be longer
than normal and/or the harvest cycle may be excessively long. Check the compressor’s amps 5 minutes into
the freeze cycle. If the amps is less than 70% of rated full amount, the compressor may be inefcient. These
symptoms may also be caused by other problems, therefore it is important to use the troubleshooting charts
when diagnosing a problem. The air condenser is located in the back of the cabinet. Air is pulled through the
condenser by a fan motor and released through the right hand side panel. Under the counter models intake
and discharge air through the front panel. Do not block airow as it will cause premature failure of the machine
and will void the warranty.
Compressor and Start Components
The compressor should run during the entire cycle. If the machine is in the ON position but the compressor is
not running, check the compressor contactor to see if it is connected properly. If the contactor is not connected,
the problem is not with the compressor or the compressor start components. If the contactor is engaged and
there is correct voltage through the contactor, there could be a problem with one of the starting components or
the compressor. It is recommended that the compressor starting components be replaced when replacing the

Troubleshooting
compressor.
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING!
If the compressor uses an internal overload, be certain that the compressor has cooled and the overload
has reset before diagnosing the compressor. If the compressor is cool and is still not running, check the
compressor motor windings by rst removing the wires at the compressor terminals. With an ohmmeter, check
for continuity between all three terminals, if an open circuit exists between any of the terminals, the compressor
may need to be replaced. Check for continuity from each terminal to the compressor body, if continuity is found
from any terminal to the compressor body, the compressor windings are shorted to ground and the compressor
will need to be replaced. If the compressor appears to be good at this point, it is advisable to use a compressor
analyzer to isolate the compressor from the start components while checking for a locked rotor. If it is not
available, the compressor starting components must be checked. If all starting components are working, check
the amp rating from the terminal of the compressor, making sure proper voltage is supplied to the compressor
and all wiring is properly connected. If the compressor does not start and there is excessive amp rating, (see
locked rotor amps on compressor tag) the compressor has a locked rotor and should be replaced.
Overload (External)
If there is no amperage draw check the compressor overload. The compressor overload can be checked for
continuity after removing it from the compressor and letting it cool to room temperature. If there is no continuity
between the two terminals, replace the overload. If the overload is suspected of opening prematurely, it should
be replaced with an overload.
Capacitors
The start capacitor is an electrical storage device used to provide starting torque to the compressor. If a start
capacitor is defective, the compressor will not start properly. The run capacitor is an electrical storage device
used to improve the productivity and efciency of the compressor. Before checking a capacitor, it should be
discharged by shorting across the terminals. If a run or start capacitor is cracked, leaking or bulging it should
be replaced. If a capacitor is suspected of being defective, it can easily be checked by replacing it with a
capacitor of the correct size, which is known to be working. If the compressor starts and runs properly, replace
the original capacitor. A capacitor tester can also be used.
Start Relay
The start relay breaks the electrical circuit to the start windings when the compressor motor speed increases. If
the relay is defective, the compressor will not start or it may start but will run for a very short time.
A compressor relay can be checked by removing the relay and checking the relay contacts for damage and
check for continuity across the closed relay points. Check the relay coil with an ohmmeter. If no continuity is
read, replace the relay.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)
The thermostatic expansion valve measures the ow of refrigerant into the evaporator changing its state

Troubleshooting
from a high pressure liquid to a low pressure liquid. This drop in pressure causes the refrigerant to cool. The
cooled refrigerant absorbs heat from the water circulating over the evaporator. As the evaporator lls with
liquid refrigerant, the evaporator becomes colder. The ow of refrigerant into the evaporator is controlled by the
temperature at the outlet of the evaporator. The expansion valve bulb, mounted to the top of the suction line,
senses the evaporator outlet temperature causing the expansion valve to open or close. As ice forms on the
evaporator, the temperature drops and the ow of refrigerant into the evaporator decreases, resulting in a drop
in suction pressure. The evaporator should become completely ooded (lled with liquid refrigerant) during
the freeze cycle. A completely ooded evaporator will have a uniform freeze pattern (ice formation across the
evaporator). A starved evaporator (not enough liquid refrigerant) will have poor or no ice formation at the top of
the evaporator, and the tube(s) exiting the evaporator will not frost. All tubes should be frosted approximately
5 minutes from the start of the freeze cycle. An expansion valve that is restricted or not opening properly will
starve the evaporator resulting in lower than normal suction pressure. A low refrigerant charge will also starve
the evaporator and cause low suction and discharge pressures. If not sure of the amount of charge in the
system, the refrigerant should be recovered and the correct charge be weighed in before a defective valve can
be diagnosed. If the evaporator is starved but the suction pressure is higher than normal, the TXV is not the
problem, refer to the above charts. If the TXV sticks open or if the thermal bulb is not making good contact with
the suction line, the ow of refrigerant into the evaporator will be too great and liquid refrigerant will ood the
compressor. The suction pressure will remain higher than normal and the machine will remain in an extended
freeze cycle. Ice will build evenly but will be very thick.

OPÉRATION
Il ya trois systèmes: le système de refroidissement, le système d’eau et le système électrique.
Au cours de l’étape de fabrication de glace, la soupape de gaz chaud est fermée. Le gaz réfrigérant chaud
est pompé hors du compresseur vers le condenseur. Le gaz chaud est refroidi par un ventilateur après
passage dans le condenseur. Le sécheur et le ltre réduiront possible saleté et l’humidité dans le réfrigérant.
Le réfrigérant se dilate dans l’évaporateur de refroidissement an que l’eau gèle. Le gaz réfrigérant à basse
pression retourne au compresseur depuis l’évaporateur où le cycle continue. Pendant la phase de récolte de
la glace, la vanne est ouverte. Le gaz réfrigérant chaud est pompé hors du compresseur vers l’évaporateur à
travers la soupape de gaz chaud. Etant donné que le gaz chaud i pas refroidi par le condenseur, le réfrigérant
se réchauffe l’évaporateur. Glace en contact avec l’évaporateur commence à fondre sur la face arrière. La
glace progressivement diapositives de glace au large de l’évaporateur et les gouttes vers le bac de stockage.
