Electrical Control System Operation - Follett D400A/W Installation, Operation & Service Manual

Electrical control system operation

The D400A/W, MCD400A/WVS and R400A/W wiring diagrams which follow illustrate the circuitry of Follett
icemakers used with ice dispensers. Both normal operation of the icemaker (Stages 1 - 6) and non-normal
diagnostic sequences showing torque-out (Stages 7 - 10) for use in troubleshooting icemaker problems are
shown.
Follett icemakers used on top of an ice storage bin have a slightly different circuitry. The operational and
diagnostic stages for these icemakers will be otherwise the same as Stages 1 - 10 that follow.
Circuitry notes
When the icemaker is used with a dispenser it receives power from two sources – the main power supply and the
bin control signal power from the dispenser. Disconnect both power sources before performing service. When
performing electrical service, always use a meter to determine whether or not the components being serviced are
energized.
High pressure cutout opens at 425 PSI and closes at 287 PSI (auto reset).
Compressor switch should read open in on position.
Compressor start relay is position sensitive. See label on start relay for proper orientation.
Bin signal may be 120V, 60Hz; 230V, 50Hz; or 24V, 60Hz. If bin signal is 24V, 60Hz, black bin signal wire must be
moved from LINE VAC terminal to 24V terminal.
Flashing water LED at any time indicates that water signal to board had been lost for more than
one second.
Ten-second delay: There is a 10 second delay in reaction to loss of water (WTR) or bin (B-E) signals. If signals
are not lost for more than 10 seconds, no reaction will occur.
Normal operation – Stage 1
Power is supplied to L1 of the control board. The ice level control in the dispenser is closed and calling for ice,
supplying signal voltage to the control board. The control board will now go through the start-up sequence. Less
than 30 seconds will elapse as the water sensor located in the float reservoir checks for water in the reservoir.
The Bin Empty LED (B-E) will be on.
