BC0530 Service Manual
Installation: Water
Drains
Separate drains must be provided for the ice maker
and ice bin. The size of the drain tubing must never
be reduced along its length.
Make sure that the building drain system can
accommodate all the drain water from the ice machine
operation.
Individual drains must never be directly connected
to a common manifold, drain or standpipe. If
individual drains are to be discharged into a
common manifold, drain or standpipe, a minimum
38mm (1.5") air gap must be provided at each
connection. This is to prevent any backflow or
back-siphonage of drain water into the ice maker or
ice bin.
Drain lines must be installed with a minimum drop of
2.5 cm per meter run (.3 inch drop per foot run).
Ice machine and bin drains may be insulated to
prevent condensation.
Follow all local and national codes.
Connect Drain
Adapt as needed and connect to the 3/4" ID flex drain
out the back of the unit. Do not use flexible tubing
beyond this connection, use only rigid tubing.
Potable Water Supply
There are no specific requirements for water
treatment provided that the water is potable, not
laden with sediment and does not exhibit residual
chlorine level greater than 0.2 ppm. The use of water
treatment, however, may increase the intervals
between cleaning operations.
Do not connect the ice machine to a hot water supply
line. Insulate the water line from sources of heat or to
prevent condensation.
Note: Water temperatures higher than the
recommended maximum will cause reduced capacity.
High residual chlorine (more than 0.2 Ppm) can cause
corrosion of ice maker components. High chlorine
levels must be reduced, in the ice maker water supply,
to protect the equipment and preserve the product
warranty. Please contact your local water conditioning
expert for recommendations, about your specific
water supply, or consult the factory.
A minimum 0.2 MPa (30 psig) dynamic water supply
pressure is required for proper operation of the ice
maker water valve. Minimum water pressure 0.2
MPa (30 psig) Maximum water pressure 0.6 MPa
(100 psig). If a water pressure regulator is used, the
recommended setting is 0.2 MPa to 0.3 MPa (30 to 50
psig) dynamic.
Connect Water Supply
NOTE - Purge all water supply lines before
connecting them to the ice machine.
Adapt as needed using field supplied fittings and
connect to the 3/4" FPT fitting on the back of the unit.
Minimum tubing size to use is 3/8" OD.
