2. Features

a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes

The harvest water valve will be open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of
harvest minus 50 seconds, whichever is shorter.

b) Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer

The harvest backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the harvest
cycle takes more than 0 minutes to complete. The control board will signal this problem
using  beeps every 3 seconds.
The freeze timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the freeze cycle
takes longer than the time specified to complete. The control board will signal this
problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The time is factory set using S4 dip switch 9 &
10.
The alarm reset button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset
either of these safeties.

c) High Temperature Safety

The temperature of the suction line in the refrigeration circuit is limited by the high
temperature safety. This protects the unit from excessively high temperatures. If the
evaporator temperature rises above 17 ± 7°F (53 ± 4°C), the control board reads a
.804 kΩ signal from the thermistor and operates the safety. This shuts down the circuit
and the icemaker automatically stops.
The control board will signal this problem using 1 beep every 3 seconds. The alarm reset
button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.

d) Low Water Safety

The control board checks the position of the lower float switch at the end of the initial one
minute water fill cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle. If the lower float switch is
closed, the control board proceeds to the next cycle. If the lower float switch is open, the
control board calls for a one minute water fill cycle. After one minute, the control board
checks the position of the float and either proceeds to the next cycle if the lower float
switch is closed or calls for an additional one minute fill if the switch is open. This serves
as a low water safety to protect the water pump.

e) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs

High voltage and low voltage cut-outs help protect the icemaker from supply voltages
outside of the accepted range.
If miswiring causes excessive voltage (147Vac ±5% or more for 3 seconds) on
the control board, the high voltage cut-out shuts down the circuit and the icemaker
automatically stops. The control board will signal this problem using 7 beeps every 3
seconds.
The icemaker also automatically stops in cases of insufficient voltage (9Vac ±5% or
less). The control board will signal this problem using 6 beeps every 3 seconds.
When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running
again.
