Check CUBE SIZECAM & The dimensions of the cubes are fixed by the sizeSHAFT and shape of the molds on the evaporator plate, except that the thickness of the cube MAY need to HARVEST be adjusted at start up. There is only one size of PORTION cube that is correct; adjusting the cube size control to that size of cube will allow the ice maker to produce ice at its most efficient size. The correct size cubes will be fully formed at the edges; will harvest off of the evaporators beginning with individual cubes at the top of the evaporator, then vertical strips for the balance; and will appear similar to the illustration for ‘‘Correct Size Cube’’.FREEZEPORTION December, 1994 Page 10

The machine must THINharvest all cubes before returning to a freeze cycle.Increase the harvest time if there is less than 15seconds of harvest time after the last cube hasfallen into the bin.Decrease the harvest time if there is much morethan 15 seconds of harvest time after the last cubehas fallen into the bin. Note: Harvest time isdependent upon the water and air temperatures atthe ice machine. Do not adjust harvest time tooshort, as this will cause a freeze up.See the next page for detailed harvest timeadjustment instructions.14.

To start the FREEZING CYCLE: Slowly rotatethe shaft of the timer and switch assemblyclockwise until the actuator arm on themicroswitch initiates the freezing cycle.C. To adjust the length of the harvest cycle:1. Loosen the adjustment screw on the cam androtate the shaft of the cam to move the cam. Moreof a gap between the high and low portions willyield more harvest time.2. Tighten the set screw.3. Replace the control box cover and front panel.It is important that the length of the harvest cycleallow enough time for all the ice cubes to fall fromthe evaporator. Too short of a time will cause theevaporator to freeze up and stop ejecting ice intothe bin. Too much time wastes ice makingcapacity, energy and water. Adjustment of theharvest cycle may require an adjustment of thecube size control. SET SCREWDecember, 1994 Page 12

Thethermostatic expansion valve liquid refrigerant thruthe refrigerant distributor and into the threeevaporators.Inside the evaporators, the liquid refrigerant rapidlyexpands, because it has moved from a highpressure zone to one of much lower pressure. Theheat from the water going over the evaporatorskeeps the refrigerant expanding, and therefrigerant absorbs this heat. This causes theevaporators and the water going over them toloose heat.The refrigerant then flows into the suction line andback to the compressor. October, 1994 Page 13

It is an automatic reset.RelayThe multi-function, three pole, double throw, relayplugs into a socket on the printed circuit board inthe control box. When the relay coil has power, themachine is in a freeze cycle, and when power isremoved from the coil, the machine will be in theharvest cycle.The relay also by-passes the bin control during theharvest and freeze cycles, preventing the icemaker from shutting off in the middle of a cycle.The bypass action allows only complete freezeand harvest cycles; the only time that the icemaker can shut off on bin control is as the end ofthe harvest cycle.Timer - Timer & Switch AssemblyThe timer begins to turn when activated by thecube size control. The outer surface, or largediameter lobe of the timer cam, determines thelength of time for finish freezing of the ice cubes,while the inner surface, or small diameter lobe,determines length of the harvest cycle. Thesingle-pole, double throw microswitch on the timercontrols the power to the plug in relay coil, makingit either the freezing or harvest cycle. Themicroswitch is actuated by the cams connected tothe timer motor. The timer cam can be adjusted tovary the defrost time, as required. One completerotation of the cam will take eight minutes.October, 1994 Page 15
CME855A & CME1000A Reservoir The reservoir, located below the evaporators,COMPONENT DESCRIPTION stores the inlet water charge, and collects the water that flows over the evaporator plates.

This action fills and rinses the reservoir reach 450 PSIG.during each harvest cycle. The flow rate is .75g.p.m. WATER DISTRIBUTIONWater Distribution System SYSTEMThe water distribution system evenly supplieswater to all cells of the evaporator plates. Thewater pump pumps water from the reservoir up thevertical tygon tube to the tee. From there water ischanneled through the water manifold to the waterdistributors, above each evaporator plate, andfrom six holes within each distributor, water flowsto the cells of each side of the evaporator plates.Gravity flow returns the unfrozen excess portion ofwater to the reservoir for recirculation.

CME855A & CME1000AREFRIGERATION SERVICEThis ice machine uses R-404A refrigerant and polyolester oil. Do NOT Pressure-Temperature Chart for HP62use mineral oil in this refrigeration system.•R-404A is a \"Near Azeotrope\" so liquid charging is required: See the VAPOR VAPORnext page. TEMP. PRES. TEMP. PRESS.•When the system is serviced, a special liquid line drier is required. It is (DEG F) (PSIG) DEG F) (PSIG)included with replacement compressors. -20 17 70 146•HP62 is not compatible with mineral oil, so these ice machines use -18 18 72 150 Polyolester oil. Polyolester oil absorbs water very easily. When one of -16 20 74 155 these refrigeration systems is opened for service, it must be re-sealed -14 21 76 161 as soon as possible (15 minutes maximum). -12 23 78 166 -10 24 80 171 •Special leak detection equipment is required to locate small refrigerant -8 26 82 177 -6 28 84 182 leaks. Usually a leak detector capable of detecting a Halongenated -4 29 86 188 refrigerant or HFC-134a will work. Check with the leak detector -2 31 88 194 manufacturer if in doubt. 33 90 200 0 35 92 206Access Valves: To use the access valves: 2 •Remove the cap from the stem, use a 3/16\" allen wrench to checkthat the valve is CLOSED. The remove the core cap. 4 37 94 212•Close the valve and replace the caps when the job is finished. 6 39 96 219The valve must be closed and the caps must be on or the valve 8 41 98 225will leak. 10 43 100 232General Information: 12 46 102 239 14 48 104 246Work on the refrigeration system should only be done when it is certain 16 50 106 253that the system needs repair. 18 53 108 260 20 55 110 268 •Refrain from checking refrigeration pressures without reason.Visual inspection of the water system, observation of the ice 22 58 112 275formation, amp draw, voltage, and other techniques will lead to proper 24 60 114 283diagnosis. 26 63 116 291•If gauges must be used, don’t always check the high side pressure.

If the system was low on refrigerant, there is a leak, and it must be found and repaired.•This system has a critical charge, it must be recharged with thecorrect amount of refrigerant as listed on the nameplate of the ice 48 99 138 389machine, or performance will suffer. 50 102 140 399 •Anytime the refrigeration system has been opened, the dryer should 52 106 142 409 54 110 144 420 be replaced. Note: Only a HFC type dryer can be used. 56 114 146 430 58 118 148 441 •When brazing the tubing connections to components such as the 60 123 150 452 62 127 152 464 TXV, the component must be protected by heat sink material. 64 132 154 475 66 136 156 487Recover, reclaim or recycle refrigerant .

CME855A & CME1000ALIQUID CHARGINGInstructions for R-404AIn preparation for charging, the low side hoseshould have a sight glass, and/or a restrictordevice (such as a \"Charge Faster\") installed in itfor metering liquid into the low side of the system.1. After a thorough evacuation to at least 200microns, shut off the manifold valves and switchoff the vacuum pump.2. Place a drum of R-404A onto an electronicscale.3. Attach the charging hose to the drum.4. Open the valve on the drum and purge thecharging hose.5. Zero out the scale.6. Shut the low side access valve at the icemachine.7. Open the discharge manifold valve full open.8. Watch the scale, when the correct charge isshown, shut the manifold valve.Note: If all of the charge will not \"go in\" thedischarge side: A. Shut the discharge access valve at the icemachine. B. Switch the machine on. C. Open the low side access valve at the ice Hose Connection Schematic for Liquid Chargingmachine. D. Open the low side manifold valve and observethe sight glass to be certain that only gas isflowing into the system. E. When the proper charge is indicated on the Allenscale, shut off the manifold valve(s). Wrench9. Shut off the valve on the refrigerant drum.10. Re-open the manifold valves until all liquid hasflowed out of the hoses.11. Shut the low side access valve on the ice Torque Stem to Torquemachine. 6-8 ft. lb.. Core Cap to 7-12 ft. lb..12. Remove hoses from ice machine and replace Torque Stem Cap toall caps. 8-12 ft. lb.. Access Valves Note: There are no valve cores in this valve. December, 1994 Page 26
