Prodigy Eclipseä 600, 800, 1000
Initial Start Up
Pre Start
A soak-out period of four hours is optional for this
system. If desired, powering the compressor unit
for four hours prior to start up allows the crankcase
heater to warm up the oil in the compressor.
Start Up
1. Connect power to the condensing unit and move
its toggle switch to Run or On.
2. Open the water supply valve.
3. Remove front panel. Check machine for any
packing or wires rubbing moving parts. Note
location of control board in upper left corner of the
machine's front.
4. Remove tape securing curtain to evaporator.
5. Switch on the electrical power to the EH222.
Observe that some of the control's indicator lights
glow and its display shows O.
6. Open the water supply valve.
7. Push and release the ON button. The code
display will begin to blink F.
The purge valve opens, the water pump starts and
the inlet water valve opens to add water to the
reservoir. In a few seconds the purge valve closes
and the water pump stops. Water will flow into the
machine until the reservoir is full. The vapor valve
and harvest assist device will activate, then the
compressor and water pump will start.
Note: Because the condensing unit is external to
the ice making section, no visible signs of
operation will be noticeable until the water begins
to cool and frost forms on the evaporator tubing.
8. Go to the condensing unit and confirm that the
compressor and fan motor are operating. Warm air
will be discharged from the condenser.
Observe the Ready for Harvest indicator light. It
may blink early in the cycle, that is normal. The
control will ignore that signal for the first 6 minutes
of freeze.
During the Freeze cycle move the curtains and
observe that the SW1 or SW2 light on the control
board blinks On when the curtain moves away
from the evaporator and Off when returned to its
normal position.
Note: Moving the curtain during the Freeze cycle
has no affect on control function, but will cause
water to flow into the cube chute.
When enough ice has frozen, the Ready for
Harvest indicator light will be on steady. After it's
been on steady for a few seconds Harvest will
begin.
The display shows an H. The vapor valve in the
EH222 opens, and the harvest assist mechanism
activates. In the CP the condenser bypass valve
opens and the receiver inlet valve closes. In the
EH222, the purge valve opens to drain some
water, when it does the inlet water valve opens to
refill the reservoir. After a few seconds the purge
valve closes but the inlet water valve continues to
fill the reservoir. Harvest continues until the ice is
released as a unit and forces the curtain to open.
When the curtain opens it signals the controller
that harvest is complete, and it returns the unit to a
freeze cycle.
9. Check the ice harvested for proper bridge
thickness. The ice bridge is factory set at 1/8 inch.
If needed, adjust bridge thickness. Do NOT make it
too thin.
10. Return the front panel to its normal position
and secure it to the machine.
11. Instruct the user in the operation of the
machine and its maintenance requirements.
12. Fill out and mail the warranty registration form.
