BIN SWITCH
FUNCTION
Movement of the water curtain bin switch operation.
The bin switch has two main functions:
1. Terminating the Harvest cycle and returning the ice
machine to the Freeze cycle. This occurs when the
bin switch is opened and closed again within 10
seconds during the Harvest cycle.
2. Automatic ice machine shut-off.
If the storage bin is full at the end of a Harvest cycle,
the sheet of cubes fails to clear the water curtain and
holds it open. After the water curtain is held open for
10 seconds, the ice machine shuts off. The ice
machine remains off until enough ice is removed
from the storage bin to allow the sheet of cubes to
drop clear of the water curtain. As the water curtain
swings back to the operating position, the bin switch
closes and the ice machine restarts, providing the 3-
minute delay has expired.
Important
The water curtain must be in place (bin switch
closed) to start ice making.
SPECIFICATIONS
The bin switch is a magnetically operated reed switch.
The magnet is attached to the lower right corner of the
water curtain.
The bin switch is connected to a varying D.C. voltage
circuit. (Voltage does not remain constant.)
NOTE: Because of a wide variation in D.C. voltage, it is
not recommended that a voltmeter be used to check
bin switch operation.
