Installation Mount the bin full sensor within 3” (7.6 cm) of the outlet The power and sensor wires connect to the terminal of the hose at the 4 o’clock or 8 o’clock position (Figure blocks inside of the electrical enclosure, and to the circuit 11, below) Do not mount directly under the hose outlet.
Commissioning PRE-COMMISSIONING CHECKS COMMISSIONING • Check that all electrical connections are on the Start-Up Procedure correct terminals before applying power. Turn on the circuit breaker in the ship’s panel. • Verify the correct voltage into the circuit breaker prior to turning on. Turn on the on/off breaker on the outside of the ice machine’s electrical box.
