Gear Motor Speed
Anytime the motor speed sensor detects the motor
speed (rpm) is below the minimum range for
3 continuous seconds, the ice machine will:
1. De-energize the compressor and/or gear motor.
2. Continuously flash the Gear Motor Speed light.
3. Initiate a 60-minute Standby Mode.
During the Standby Mode the Motor Speed Sensor light
will flash to indicate a Standby Mode.
After the 60-minute Standby Mode, the ice machine will
de-energize the Motor Speed light and initiate a start-up
sequence.
Gear motor speed normal:
The ice machine continues to make ice.
Gear motor speed below minimum range for
3 continuous seconds:
The ice machine will start another 60-minute Standby
Mode.
If the gear motor speed drops below the minimum range
for 3 continuous seconds during 7 consecutive cycles,
the ice machine will initiate a SafeGuard Mode.
During the SafeGuard Mode the Motor Speed Sensor
light will continually flash to indicate a SafeGuard Mode.
The ice machine remains off until:
• The toggle switch is moved from OFF to ICE.
• Line voltage is interrupted and restored.
INDICATOR LIGHT
Before 48 hours have elapsed:
After a Standby Mode has been initiated the Gear Motor
Speed light will flash anytime the toggle switch is placed
in the OFF position.
After 48 hours have elapsed:
The SafeGuard will be automatically erased from
memory and the Gear Motor Speed light will not flash.
