2. Remote Condensing Unit
• The remote condensing unit is intended for outdoor use. Normal operating ambient
temperature must be within -20°F to 122°F (-29°C to 50°C). Operation of the
remote condensing unit, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature
range may affect icemaker performance.
• Maximum line set length is 66 feet. No refrigerant charge adjustment is necessary.
• The maximum vertical distance between the remote condensing unit and icemaker
is 33 feet above or 10 feet below the icemaker. These distances are measured
fitting to fitting. See Fig. 1.
• If the vertical distance between the remote condensing unit and the icemaker is
greater than 20 feet (not to exceed 33 feet), an "S" oil-trap (5/8" OD copper tubing)
must be installed in the suction line. The "S" oil-trap must be located halfway
between the icemaker and remote condensing unit. This ensures sufficient oil
return to the compressor.
The remote condensing unit must be positioned in a permanent site under the following
guidelines:
• A firm and flat site.
• A dry and well ventilated area with 24" (61 cm) clearance in both front and rear for proper
air circulation and ease of maintenance and/or service should they be required. See Fig. 2.
