C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Water The quality of the water supplied to the ice machine will have an impact on the time between cleanings and ultimately on the life of the product. There are two ways water can contain impurities: in suspension or in solution. Suspended solids can be filtered out. In solution or dissolved solids cannot be filtered, they must be diluted or treated. Scotsman filters: A triple head filter is recommended.

Pull the front panel out at the top until it clears the top panel. 3. Lift the front panel up and off the machine. 4. Remove two screws from the front edge of the top panel. 5. Lift up the front of the top panel, push it back an inch, then lift to remove. 6 1 6. Locate and loosen the screw holding each side panel to the base. 7.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Remote Condenser Location Use the following for planning the placement of the condenser relative to the ice machine Location Limits - condenser location must not exceed ANY of the following limits: • Maximum rise from the ice machine to the condenser is 35 physical feet Configurations that do NOT meet these requirements must receive prior written authorization from Scotsman. Do NOT: • Route a line set that rises, then falls, then rises.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual For The Installer: Remote Condenser Locate the condenser as near as possible to the interior location of the ice machine. Roof Attachment Note: The location of the condenser is relative to the ice machine is LIMITED by the specification on the prior page. Meet all applicable building codes.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Precharged Line Routing Do not connect the precharged tubing until all routing and forming of the tubing is complete. See the Coupling Instructions for final connections. 1. Each set of pre-charged tubing lines contains a 3/8” diameter liquid line, and a 1/2” diameter discharge line. Both ends of each line have quick connect couplings, the end without access valves goes to the ice maker.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Coupling Instructions The couplings on the ends of the pre-charged line sets are self-sealing when installed properly. Follow these instructions carefully. It is important that ONLY the nut on the pre-charged tube be turned, or the diaphragms will be torn out by the piercing knives and they will be loose in the refrigeration system. These steps must be performed by an EPA Certified Type II or higher technician. Initial Connections 1.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Plumbing Requirements All models require connection to cold, potable water. A hand actuated valve within site of the machine is required. There is a single 3/8” FPT inlet water connection.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Drains All models require drain tubing to be attached to them. There is a single ¾” FPT drain fitting in the back of the cabinet. the drain, extended about 8 – 10” will allow the gravity drain to empty and also keep any surges during draining from discharging water. Install new tubing when replacing a prior ice machine, as the tubing will have been sized for the old model and might not be correct for this one.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Electrical The machine is not supplied with a power cord, the machine must be hard-wired. The dataplate on the back of the cabinet details the power requirements, including voltage, phase, minimum circuit ampacity and maximum fuse size. HACR type circuit breakers may be used in place of fuses. Extension cords are not permitted. Use of a licensed electrician is recommended.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Final Check List: 1. Is the unit located indoors in a controlled environment? 2. Is the condenser located where it can receive adequate cooling air? 3. Has the correct electrical power been supplied to the machine? 4. Have all the water supply connections been made? 5. Have all the drain connections been made? 6. Has the remote condenser been properly installed? 7.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Initial Start Up 1. Remove front and left side panels. Check machine for any packing or wires rubbing moving parts. Note location of control board in upper left corner of the machine’s front. 2. Switch on the electrical power to the machine. Observe that some of the control’s indicator lights glow and its display shows O. 3. Wait 4 hours for the compressor’s crankcase heater to warm up the oil in the compressor. 4. Open the water supply valve. 5.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Adjustments Bridge Thickness - For A Service Tech Only 1/8 - 3/16” bridge 1. Push and hold Off till the machine stops. 2. Remove evaporator cover. 3. Remove left curtain. 4. Use a box wrench and rotate the bridge thickness adjustment screw in 1/8 turn increments CW to increase bridge thickness. 5. Rotate CCW to decrease bridge thickness. Caution: Do not make the bridge too thin or the machine will not harvest properly.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Use and Operation Once started, the ice machine will automatically make ice until the bin or dispenser is full of ice. When ice level drops, the ice machine will resume making ice. There are four indicator lights at the front of the machine that provide information on the condition of the machine. Caution: Do not place anything on top of the ice machine, including the ice scoop.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Switches The two switches – on and off - can be accessed from the front of the machine. To switch the machine OFF, push and release the Off button. The machine will shut off at the end of the next cycle. Status Off De-Scale r To switch the machine ON, push and release the On button. The machine will go through a start up process and then resume ice making. 02-4294-01 Graphic Rev.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Options and Other Information Smart-Board When this option is present there is an additional display panel in the area below the main control board. It is not visible when the front panel is on. See Instructions for Available Features SEL Heat Most heat is exhausted at the remote condenser. The ice machine should not generate significant heat. SmartBoard™ Advanced Feature Control 34 the bin.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Cleaning, Sanitation and Maintenance This ice system requires three types of maintenance: • Remove the build up of mineral scale from the ice machine’s water system and sensors. • Sanitize the ice machine’s water system and the ice storage bin or dispenser. It is the User’s responsibility to keep the ice machine and ice storage bin in a sanitary condition. Without human intervention, sanitation will not be maintained.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual 13. Remove water distributors from ice machine. Inspect each distributor for restricted orifice holes. Be sure all holes are full open. Note; A possible sanitizing solution may be made by mixing 1 packet of Stera Sheen Green Label sanitizer (available from Scotsman) with 2 gallons of warm (95115oF.) potable water. Squeeze tabs together, slide out until it stops, then lift 17. Thoroughly wash all surfaces of the ice thickness to remove.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual Remote condenser The condenser fins will need to be cleaned. Push and release the Off button. Wait until the machine stops. Note: Lock out the controller or the ice machine power supply to prevent an unauthorized fan motor restart. If there is imbedded grease, use a commercial coil cleaner to wash out the grease. Dust can be blown out with compressed air from the inside or use a vacuum cleaner and soft brush.
C1448, C1848, C2148 Remote Condenser Models - User Manual What to do before calling for service Reasons the machine might shut itself off: • Lack of water. • Freeze cycle takes too long. • Harvest cycle takes too long. • High discharge temperature. • Controller self test failure. • Very high voltage Check the following: 1. Has the water supply to the ice machine or building been shut off? If yes, the ice machine will automatically restart within 25 minutes after water begins to flow to it. 2.
