Ice Bin Thermostat Sensor (Optional)
An electronic ice bin thermostat may be added to
automatically cycle machine operation. To assure proper protection for the machine or auxiliary
equipment, the sensor of the ice bin thermostat must be located so that ice will contact it when the
bin is full (See FIGURE 3-8 for typical mounting bracket). The distance between the top of the ice
bin and the sensor allows space for the machine to make an additional discharge of ice AFTER the
ice contacts the probe. This will vary based on the size of the bin and the ice distribution system
employed.
Note: The probe should also be mounted on the back side of the bracket, opposite of the front of
the bin to reduce the possibility of damage from ice removal equipment.
The control panel is electrically connected so that the bin thermostat will stop the machine only upon
the completion of a harvest period.
