  • Page 15: Operation: Water

    WATER RESERVOIR WATER INLET WATER DRAIN NDE550 & NDE650 Note: The correct water level is determined when the machine is operating. Check the water level and compare it to the line molded into the side of the reservoir.
  • Page 16: Operation: Refrigeration

    NDE550 & NDE650 OPERATION: Refrigeration Beginning at the compressor, the refrigerant is compressed into a high temperature gas. The discharge line directs this gas to the condenser. At the condenser (air or water cooled) the gas is cooled by either air or water and it then condenses into a liquid.
  • Page 17: Operation: Ice Vending

    NDE550 & NDE650 OPERATION: Ice Vending When the ice dispensing glass filler lever is pushed, an electrical circuit is made to the portion control module in the control box. That module will energize the dispense drive motor for a certain length of time, depending upon the setting of the portion control knob.
  • Page 18: Cleaning And Sanitizing

    NDE550 & NDE650 CLEANING and SANITIZING A Scotsman Ice System represents a sizable investment of time and money in any company’s business. In order to receive the best return for that investment, it MUST receive periodic maintenance. It is the USER’S RESPONSIBILITY to see that the unit is properly maintained. It is always preferable, and less costly in the long run, to avoid possible down time by keeping it clean;...
  • Page 19: Maintenance And Cleaning

    BIN CONTROL SENSOR 2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year, the probe should be removed from the reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of mineral build-up.
  • Page 20 NDE550 & NDE650 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING In some areas, the water supply to the ice maker will contain a high concentration of minerals, and that will result in an evaporator and auger Moving Parts Hazard. Disconnect electrical power to the icemaker - dispenser before beginning.
  • Page 21: Service Diagnosis: Condition - No Ice Being Produced

    Check that the fan blades are clean, and the fan secure to the fan motor shaft. F. Check the water level in the reservoir. The machine will not run if there is not enough water in the reservoir. 1. Restore/adjust water level. See the next step. NDE550 & NDE650 April 1997 Page 21...
  • Page 22 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 Tester Model NM1 into the circuit board.
  • Page 23 B. Check the compressor 1. Check the compressor start relay. 2. Check the start capacitor. 3. Check the windings of the compressor for open windings or shorts to ground. Replace those items found defective. NDE550 & NDE650 April 1997 Page 23...

    They are likely to be fine if the oil is. NDE550 & NDE650 If there is evidence of water in the oil (rusty bearings and gears; the oil having a creamy white appearance; oil level too high) carefully inspect the bearings and gears.
  • Page 32: Refrigeration Service: Hp62

    NDE550 & NDE650 REFRIGERATION SERVICE: R-404A (HP62) THIS ICE MACHINE USES HP62 REFRIGERANT AND POLYOLESTER COMPRESSOR OIL. DO NOT USE MINERAL OIL IN THIS REFRIGERATION SYSTEM. HP62 is a "Near Azeotrope", and therefore liquid charging is required. Weigh into the discharge side as much as possible of the charge as liquid refrigerant.
  • Page 33: Refrigeration Service

    Scotsman also recommends that, at the time of initial start up, gauges not be used. If gauges must be used, don’t always check the high side pressure.
  • Page 34: Circuit Board Testing

    NDE550 & NDE650 TESTING ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING TESTER (Optional, order part no. A33942-001) (These instructions assume that the unit will not run, and prior investigation of electric power, controls, and mechanical parts indicates that the electronic circuit may be at fault.) Electrical Shock Hazard.
  • Page 35 TESTING ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT Water Level 1. Unplug "water sen" connector from control board. 2. Plug "water sen" connector from Scotsman tester into circuit board. a. Move "water" switch on tester to No Water position. The No Water light on the circuit board should go ON.
