  • Page 6: For The Plumber

    FM800 FOR THE PLUMBER CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES Water Inlet Air Cooled Models: The recommended water supply is clean, cold water. Use 3/8" O.D. copper tubing, connect to the 3/8" male flare at the back of the cabinet. Install a hand valve near the machine to control the water supply.
  • 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. December, 1988 Page 7 FM800 POWER SUPPLY...
  • Page 8: Final Check List

    FM800 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...
  • Page 9: Start Up

    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. December, 1988...
  • Page 10: Component Description

    450 psig. Reset Switch: A manual reset switch, used for restarting the ice machine should the ice discharge chute overfill with ice; the low pressure cut out switch open; or the high pressure cut out switch open.
  • Page 11 TRANSFORMER 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. On/Off Switch: Manual control for the machine.
  • Page 12 FM800 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...

    After it recloses the reset switch on the circuit board must be manually reset. The master switch is the manual control for the complete machine, but it is not a service disconnect. December, 1988 Page 13 FM800...
  • Page 14: Operation

    FM800 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 15 After the evaporator, the refrigerant, now a low pressure vapor, goes through the suction line back to compressor, where the cycle is repeated.

    FM800 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 FM800 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 19 Clean the auger and evaporator as required. DO NOT HONE THE EVAPORATOR. 8. Replace the water seal. 9. Reverse to reassemble. December, 1988 Page 19 FM800 ALLEN SCREWS BREAKER & BEARING & AUGER ASSEMBLY...
  • Page 20: Service Diagnosis

    FM800 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: The 3 reset switches, (circuit board, high and low pressure): depress and release each switch.
  • Page 21 If the bin empty light is still OFF, check the circuit board. 1. Unplug “opto trans” and “LED” connectors from the circuit board. 2. Plug “opto trans” and “LED” connectors from the Scotsman Electronic Control Testor Model NM1 into the circiut board.
  • Page 22 FM800 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. December, 1988 Page 23 FM800...
  • Page 24: Removal And Replacement: Water Reservoir & Bin Controls

    FM800 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.
