The NM950R is a remote condenser modular
ice system that fits a variety of Scotsman
storage bins. It features: front service for the
freezer, gearmotor, control box, water
reservoir, and bin control; an electronic circuit
for monitoring ice and water level; a
thermostatic expansion valve; and R-502 as
the refrigerant.

  • Page 19: Operation

    NM950R OPERATION: Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water them goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator.
  • Page 20 NM950R OPERATION: Refrigeration Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant depending upon the temperature of the 502 is compressed into a high temperature evaporator; warmer evaporators get more gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the refrigerant and colder evaporators get less. At condenser.

  • Page 26: Service Diagnosis

    NM950R SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced STATUS: NOTHING OPERATES A. Check: Voltage to the unit, restore it if there is none. Compare to the nameplate. B. Check: The master switch, switch ON if off. C. Check: The 2 reset switches (spout switch and high pressure): depress and release each switch.
  • Page 27 If the bin empty light is still OFF, check the circuit board. 1. Unplug “opto trans” and “LED” connectors from the circuit board. 2. Plug “opto trans” and “LED” connectors from the Scotsman Electronic Control Testor Model NM1 into the circiut board (see page 37).
