Ice Gate Description

The ice gate is a pneumatically operated
"gate" that is controlled by the Beverage
Interface Board. The time the gate is open is
very precise and determines the portion of ice
dispensed. The gate opens and closes under
pneumatic pressure. The gas is controlled by
solenoids.

Ice Dispensing Cycle

The ice gate opens; the agitator turns to refill
the ice chute and to maintain ice on the cold-
plate; the ice gate closes; the agitator contin-
ues to fill the ice chute fr the set period of
time.
Low Ice – Refill Soon
The LOW ICE – REFILL SOON condition is
sensed by the A.B.S. through a temperature
sensor located in the ice bin.
The LOW ICE – REFILL SOON alarm
sounds when the bin has about 40 drinks left
in its capacity. It will resound with every tenth
drink made, until refilled.
