  • Page 14 FM1202 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.

    There are various mechanical devices that may be used to recycle refrigerant at the field level, however, Scotsman requires that any refrigerant placed into a Scotsman ice machine meet ARI spec 700-88. Reclaim programs are available thru most refrigerant wholesalers.
  • Page 30: Circuit Board Testing

    FM1202 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.
