  • Page 7: For The Electrician

    Voltage variation must remain within design limitations, even under starting conditions. All external wiring must conform to national, state, and local electrical codes. The use of a licensed electrician is required to perform the electrical installation. January, 1991 Page 7 NM650 POWER SUPPLY...
  • Page 8: Final Check List

    NM650 FOR THE INSTALLER 1. Is the ice system installed indoors in a location where the air and water temperatures are controlled, and where they do not exceed the design limitations? 2. Is there an electrical service disconnect within sight of the installed machine? Has the...

    9. Fill out the manufacturers registration card, and mail it to the Scotsman Factory. 10. Fill out the field quality audit form, and mail it to the Scotsman factory. January, 1991...
  • Page 10: Component Description

    Ice Level Sensor: An electronic “eye”, it senses the presence of ice in the bottom of the ice discharge chute. Operates to turn the ice machine on and off automatically as the level of ice in the bin changes. Gear Motor: An oil filled, speed reduction gearbox, driving the auger.
  • Page 11 Transformer: Supplies low voltage to the circuit board. Low Pressure Cut Out Switch: A manual reset control that shuts off the ice machine when the low side pressure drops below a preset point, 0-4 psig. Potential Relay: The compressor start relay.
  • Page 12 NM650 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Evaporator: A refrigerated vertical tube filled with water and containing a water seal and auger. Auger: A solid stainless steel double spiral auger, it pushes the ice crystals up to the top of the evaporator. Water Seal: A two part "face" seal, the top half...

    (early spout switch was a automatic reset). The master switch is the manual control for the complete machine, but it is not a service disconnect. January, 1991 Page 13 NM650...
  • Page 14: Operation

    NM650 OPERATION: Water RESERVOIR STRAINER DRAIN Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes to a strainer and then to the water reservoir which it enters through the float valve. The water then goes out the bottom of the reservoir tank to the bottom of the evaporator.

  • Page 16: Maintenance And Cleaning

    NM650 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 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 17 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 buildup.
  • Page 18 NM650 MAINTENANCE: Air Cooled ///////////////////////////WARNING///////////////////////////// Disconnect electrical power before beginning. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 5. Clean the air cooled condenser. The air flow on this model is from front to back, so the inside of the machine will have to be available to clean the air cooled condenser.

  • Page 20: Service Diagnosis

    NM650 SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Being Produced 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: Older models (late 1990 production and earlier) the 3 reset switches, (circuit board, high and low pressure): depress and release each switch.
  • Page 21 If the no water light is still on, check the circuit board: 1. Unplug the “water sen” connector from the circuit board. 2. Plug “water sen” connector from the Scotsman Electronic Control tester into the circuit board. a. Move the water switch on the tester to “no water” and the no water light on the circuit board should go on.
  • Page 22 NM650 SERVICE DIAGNOSIS: Condition - No Ice Produced STATUS: GEARMOTOR OPERATES, COMPRESSOR DOES NOT A. Check the compressor relay. The relay is on the circuit board, if it does not supply power to the contactor coil, the compressor will not run.
  • Page 23 The compressor should pull down to 25 inches of vacuum and hold there for three to five minutes. January, 1991 Page 23 NM650...
  • Page 24: Removal And Replacement: Water Reservoir & Bin Controls

    NM650 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Water Reservoir & Bin Controls WATER RESERVOIR 1. Shut off the water supply to the icemaker. 2. Remove front panel and reservoir cover. 3. To remove float only, pry the mounting flanges apart enough to lift one float pivot pin out of the flange hole, and pull float up and out of the reservoir.
  • Page 25: Bearing And Breaker

    7. Reverse to reassemble: specific tools and materials are required to install properly. a. Add food grade grease such as Scotsman part number 19-0569-01 to the seal area before installing on the auger. b. Check the seal to shaft areas for cuts, or rough spots: none are permitted.

    Scrub the auger with ice machine cleaner and hot water. ///////////////////////////WARNING////////////////////////////// Ice machine cleaner is an acid. Handle it with extreme care, keep out of the reach of children. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 2.
  • Page 27: Water Seal

    REPLACING THE WATER SEAL 4. Place a small bead of food grade silastic WATER SEAL sealant (such as 732 RTV or Scotsman part number 19-0529-01) on the area of the auger RETAINING where the water seal is to be mounted.

    NM650 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT: Evaporator ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////WARNING////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////// Disconnect electrical power before begining removal procedures. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// To Replace the Evaporator: (Assuming all the steps for removal of the thrust bearing, breaker, auger, and water seal have been performed.) 1. Discharge the refrigerant from the ice maker.

    NM650 CIRCUIT BOARD TESTING ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////WARNING////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// These procedures require the machine to be connected to the power supply. The voltages of the electronic circuit are very low, but HIGHER VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT IN THE UNIT. Do not touch anything but the tester while the unit is being checked out. Make all connections to the circuit board with the ELECTRICAL POWER OFF.
  • Page 31: Electronic Tester

    CIRCUIT BOARD TESTING 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.
