Summary of Contents for Scotsman CME500R

  • Page 1: Table Of Contents

    Parts Lists and Wiring Diagrams are located in the center of this manual, printed on yellow paper. The CME500R uses HP62 as the refrigerant, and polyolester oil for compressor lubrication. Table of Contents ........15 .
  • Page 2: For The Installer

    CME500R FOR THE INSTALLER The CME500R will fit the following Scotsman ice storage bins: *BH550 *HTB500, HTB350, HTB250 BH800 (with bin top KBT23) BH900 (with bin top KTB22) BH1360 It will also fit these Scotsman Dispensers: CD200 IS150 (with adapter kit KADCM1) RS150 (with adapter kit KADCM1) *These smaller bins are recommended.
  • Page 3 It must be installed indoors, in a controlled environment. The air and water temperatures must not exceed rated limits. Pre-installation: 1. Inspect the place where the ice machine is to be installed. Check for: space for the cabinet, water supply, drain availability and electrical power supply.
  • Page 4 3. Line up the ice machine, check that there is a Capillary Tube good seal between the ice machine and the storage bin. 4. If on a Scotsman bin, attach the ice machine to Bin Thermostat the bin using the straps and bolts shipped with the Bracket ice machine.
  • Page 5: For The Installer: Remote Condenser

    Use a horizontal spiral (as Inside illustrated) to avoid any traps in the lines. Building Note: Spiral need not be as tight as illustrated. 5. Have the roofing contractor seal the holes in the roof per local codes. October 1994 Page 5 CME500R...
  • Page 6: For The Installer: Coupling Instructions

    5. After all connections are made, and after the king valve has been opened, check the couplings for leaks. Note: The system charge is contained in the receiver tank of the ice machine. Only "holding" charges are present in the "precharged" tubing or the condenser. Liquid Line...
  • Page 7: For The Electrician

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS REMOTE CONNECTION The remote condenser is designed to be powered from the ice machine. There is a separate electrical junction box at the back of the ice maker for the remote condenser. Wire the remote condenser to the ice maker in accordance with local and national electric codes.
  • Page 8: For The Plumber

    In some cases a plumber will be required. Water Limitations: An ice machine is a food manufacturing plant, it takes in a raw material, water, and turns it into a food product, ice. The purity of the water is very important in obtaining pure ice and in maximizing product life.
  • Page 9: Final Check List

    11. Has the Manufacturers Registration form been properly filled out? Check for correct model and serial numbers from Serial nameplate, then mail to OPTIONAL the SCOTSMAN factory. FILTER 12. Has the owner/user been HAND SHUT given the Service Manual and OFF VALVE...
  • Page 10: Component Location

    CME500R COMPONENT LOCATION The ice machine is designed for front service. Many components are serviceable from the front without removing the side panels: Behind the front panel: Water pump Inlet water valve Reservoir Evaporators Water distributor Control box with cube size control adjustment...

    Its Cut In is 30 PSIG and its Cut Out is 15 PSIG. Located behind the control box. Cube Size Control Timer & Switch Bin Thermostat October 1994 Page 11 CME500R High Pressure Safety Cut Out Switch...
  • Page 12: Component Description: Water System

    CME500R COMPONENT DESCRIPTION: Water System Water Inlet Solenoid Valve The water inlet solenoid valve controls the flow of water to the reservoir. It fills the reservoir with water and excess water overflows out the standpipe and down the drain. This action fills and rinses the reservoir during each harvest cycle.
  • Page 13: Initial Start Up

    Compressor ON-OFF switch are in the OFF position. 2. Switch on the electrical power. Electrical power must be supplied to the ice machine for 4 hours before starting the compressor for the first time. The crankcase heater will now warm up the compressor’s oil.
  • Page 14 Note: Harvest time is dependent upon the water and air temperatures at the ice machine. Colder air and water will result in faster ice making, but longer harvest cycles. Do NOT adjust harvest time too short, as this will cause a freeze up of the evaporators.

  • Page 16: Harvest Cycle - Hot Gas Bypass

    CME500R HARVEST CYCLE - HOT GAS BYPASS When the timer switches the icemaker into the harvest cycle, high pressure, high temperature refrigerant gas discharged from the compressor flows through the hot gas solenoid valve into each evaporator plate. During this cycle, the refrigerant bypasses the condenser.
  • Page 17: Cleaning & Sanitizing

    ON until reservoir is empty of water. Replace hose on inlet. 6. Replace evaporator cover. 7. Mix 8 ounces of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner with 1 gallon of warm (95 F. - 115 pour into the reservoir until full.
  • Page 18 Scale that may form on the plastic liner of a bin may be removed by scrubbing the surface of the line with a mixture of Scotsman Ice Machine Cleaner and hot water. Remove any scale prior to sanitizing.

    CME500R ADJUSTMENTS Electrical power present in the control box can cause personal injury. Disconnect power before beginning to adjust timer. Adjustment Of The Timer & Switch Assembly One complete revolution of the cam on the timer takes eight minutes. The machine ships with the harvest time set at 2 minutes.
  • Page 21: Service Diagnosis: Water

    Reservoir leaks Inlet water valve restricted Short harvest cycle Water pressure too low October 1994 Page 21 CME500R PROBABLE FIX Clean inlet screen, check coil, replace valve if required Check pump motor, replace pump if motor will not run. No water in reservoir, check inlet water valve, check reservoir for leak.
