MC330, MC430, and ECC Condensing Unit
Remote Low Side User Manual
Create the System
Plan the installation . The system consists of three
parts: the ice making head, the condensing unit and
the interconnecting tubing . Of these, the biggest
variable is the interconnecting tubing .
Tubing: The tubing consists of three insulated and
sealed soft copper tubes . One tube, the liquid line,
is 3/8" OD . The vapor tube is ½" OD and the suction
tube is ¾" OD . A site inspection will determine what
length of tubing is required for the installation .
In 2013 Scotsman made a change to the Eclipse
tubing kits:
•
Prior Tubing Kits: They each contain a small
holding charge of R-404A and have quick
connects at the ends .
•
Current Tubing Kits: The do not contain any
refrigerant and do not have quick connects .
Either type can be used to connect the head and
condensing unit.
Quick Connect type: Check ice making head and
condensing unit for quick connects . If none, recover
refrigerant from tubing and cut the quick connects off.
If the head or condensing unit has a quick connect,
recover refrigerant and only cut off the quick connect
at the system with the stub connections .
Tubing without quick connects: Check head and
condensing unit, if neither have quick connects, use
as is . If one or both do, obtain kit KTE6 to add quick
connects to the line set .
Excess tubing must be shortened at the job site .
Installations with greater than 20 feet of vertical lift
between ice machine and the compressor require
a suction line trap . The suction line requires careful
handling and large radius bends to prevent kinking .
Roof mounting: Some installations will require the use
of a hoist to lift the components to the roof .
Pad mounting: The condensing unit may be located
below the ice making section, up to a limit of 15 feet .
Distance from unit: Limited to the length of the
available tubing .
Elevation: Condensing unit limited to 35 feet above
the ice making head .
Condensing Unit: Electrical power must be supplied to
the condensing unit, it will be separate from the head .
The remote tubing connections are at the top of the
machine, and connections should not be made until
the machine is nearly in its final installed position.
The 115/60 Hz ice making section is cord connected
and requires an outlet within 6 feet of the installation .
Interconnecting wires: A low voltage interconnecting
wire harness is included with the condensing unit .
One end plugs into the ice making head and the other
into the condensing unit . The system will NOT operate
without this harness .
Exposed tubing: Minimize the amount of tubing
exposed outdoors .
