PRE-CHARGED REMOTE AIR COOLED CONDENSER - INSTALLATION
Note:
• Check for freight damage before proceeding with the equipment installation. Be sure to
inspect the equipment carefully for any damage that may not have been evident on the
outside of the carton. Contact the freight carrier immediately to report any damage and file
a claim.
• To ensure optimal efficiency and productivity these installation instructions should be
followed accurately.
• All machines have been tested and adjusted for correct performance at the factory.
• This equipment must be installed in compliance with the applicable federal, state/province,
and/or local plumbing, electrical, and health/sanitation codes and requirements.
Warning:
• Do not operate equipment that has been damaged.
• Refer all maintenance to qualified personnel.
• Instruct all personnel in the proper use of the equipment.
• Clean up any liquid spills immediately.
• Always install equipment on a stable and level surface.
• Never operate this equipment with covers, panels, guards or other parts removed or not
properly secured.
• KOLD-DRAFT reserves the right to disallow any warranty claims which result from the use of
non KOLD-DRAFT condensers and/or line sets.
• Read the entire manual before installing, operating or servicing the machine.
Pre-Install Checklist
• All KOLD-DRAFT models are intended to be installed with a permanent connection to the field
electrical supply. Drop cord connections are not to be used with this equipment. Always be
sure the power supply is the same as the ice machine’s electrical specification which is listed
on the serial number tag on the front of the top frame cross member
• Each ice maker must be connected to the grid through its own dedicated fuse or HACR type
circuit breaker.
• Each ice maker must be connected to a separate protected circuit with no other loads.
• Fused disconnects, installed adjacent to each ice maker, are recommended and may be
required by local codes.
• Breaker or fuse service must be no greater than the maximum rating as specified on the
rating label attached to the back of the machine.
• The minimum circuit ampacity listed on the back of the machine does not indicate a typical
running current value. Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch circuit conductors
up to 8 meters (26 feet) in length. For a conductor length over 8 meters, increase the wire
gauge as required by code.
• Remote condenser ambient air temperature: 110°F (43°C) maximum
• Try to keep the compressor warmer than the condenser. In most installations, the ice maker
runs enough so that residual motor heat minimizes liquid migration to the crankcase. If the ice
maker is in a cool location, or if it will be OFF for extended periods, a crankcase heater should
be installed.
