  • 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. February, 1989 Page 7 NM1250 ICE MAKER JUNCTION BOX...
  • Page 8: Final Check List

    NM1250 FOR THE INSTALLER: Final Check List 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? LEVELED? 2. Is there an electrical service...
  • 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. February, 1989...
  • Page 10: Component Description

    Ice Level Sensor: An electronic "eye", it senses the presence of ice in the bottom of the ice discharge chute. Operates to turn the ice machine on and off automatically as the level of ice in the bin changes. Gear Motor: An oil filled, speed reduction gearbox, driving the auger.
  • Page 11 TRANSFORMER CIRCUIT BOARD Low Pressure Control (Cut Out): A manual reset control to shut 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 NM1250 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION Evaporator: A refrigerated vertical tube filled 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...
  • Page 13: Electrical Sequence

    It must be manually reset at the reset switch on the circuit board. The master switch is the manual control for the complete machine, but it is not a service disconnect. February, 1989 Page 13 NM1250...
  • Page 14: Operation

    NM1250 OPERATION RESERVOIR STRAINER DRAIN Water Water enters the machine through the 3/8" male flare at the rear of the cabinet, goes 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 16: Maintenance & Cleaning

    NM1250 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 WATER RESERVOIR WATER LEVEL SENSOR 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 NM1250 MAINTENANCE: Auger ///////////////////////////WARNING//////////////////////////// Disconnect electrical power before begining. Handle auger with care, it has sharp edges. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// In some installations the water supply to the icemaker will be so concentrated with dissolved minerals, (such as calcium carbonate) that as ice is made, the...
  • Page 19: Service Diagnosis

    G. Check the water level in the reservoir. The machine will not run if there is not enough water in the reservoir. 1. Restore/adjust water level. See the next step. February, 1989 Page 19 NM1250...
  • Page 20 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 21 B. Check the compressor 1. Check the compressor start relay. 2. Check the start capacitor. 3. Check the windings of the compressor for open windings or shorts to ground. Replace those items found defective. February, 1989 Page 21 NM1250...
