Unit wiring diagram
This model operates at 115 volts except for the cutter
grid circuit which operates at 8.5 volts at 1 amp.
The compressor runs at all times except when the bin
thermostat becomes satisfied and opens up. This de-
energizes the system except for the transformer
and
cutter grid.
Under
normal
operating
conditions,
when
the
evaporator
reaches the preset temperature
( + 100 to
-30 F, depending
on thickness
of ice) the evaporator
thermostat
opens, terminating
operation
of the fan
motor and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the
water valve solenoid are energized at this time and re-
main so until the evaporator
reaches 38 + 2OF.
