Installation & Start-up – HES Series Sealing Ice Machine to Bin Top. For machines installed on bins that do not have a drip pan, the perimeter of the ice machine must be sealed with silicone. A tube of silicone sealant, and instructions are shipped inside the ice machine for this purpose.
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Connecting Electrical, Water & Drains WARNING The scroll compressor is phase sensitive. The compressor rotation must be checked before the unit is operated. Failure to do so may affect compressor warranty. WARNING All electrical, water, drains, and air-cooled condenser connections are made at the rear of the ice machine.
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Wiring And Electrical Connection. WARNING Only service personnel experienced in refrigeration and qualified to work with high ® voltage electrical equipment should be allowed to install or work on the Tube-Ice machine. WARNING Refer to TABLE-1 below to properly size wiring connections. A fused disconnect must be ®...
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Piping and Drain Connections. All connections are located at the rear of the machine. Water-cooled machines will have five water connections (air cooled will have three water connections) on the freezing unit. See FIGURE-7 to locate connections. CAUTION Exterior shut-off valves must be provided in the water inlet lines.

Installation & Start-up – HES Series Ice Bin Thermostat Sensor Installation. Each machine is equipped with an electronic ice bin thermostat. To assure proper protection for the machine, the sensor of the ice bin thermostat must be located so that ice will contact it when the bin is full (See FIGURE-14).
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Programming the Electronic Bin Thermostat. The electronic bin thermostat has a LCD readout that displays the temperature in the bin at the sensor. The control has been preset and locked out at the factory to shut the machine down at 38° ° ° ° F and to re-start at 40°...

Installation & Start-up – HES Series 11. _____ Check compressor rotation of the scroll compressor using the following procedure: Move the selector switch to the “Ice” position and press the “Harvest/Start” switch. The liquid line solenoid valve (20) will open and feed liquid into the evaporator for approximately 2 minutes. The machine will not operate until the low pressure rises sufficiently (to approximately 40 psig) to close the low-pressure switch (4PS) &...
Installation & Start-up – HES Series General Machine Information Refrigerant Charge. Each HES Series Tube-Ice machine is charged with refrigerant and test operated at the factory before shipment. The total charge of R-404A is approximately 90lbs. This is not a critical charge.
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Adjustable Blowdown (for clearer ice). A petcock is installed on the overflow from water pump to provide means for obtaining blowdown from the water tank during the freezing period. This supplements the blowdown that is discharged during the thawing period through the bypass piping connected to the drain of the water tank.
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Troubleshooting. The HES Series (“S” for Smart) is equipped with a PLC (programmable logic controller) that controls all aspects of the operation. One of the functions of the PLC is to shut down the machine when a problem arises and send a signal to the fault indicator light located on the far-left side of the electrical panel.
Page 34
Installation & Start-up – HES Series Copeland Performance Alert (CPA). This device is used to monitor the compressor discharge temperature, compressor current and phase, as well as control voltage to the compressor contactor. If a problem is detected, the compressor will shut off. The fault light on the CPA will flash a certain number of times to indicate the fault that occurred.
