5. Normal Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4 and are on. Comp, FMR and HGVs remain energized. HWV and X1 relay
energize, PM stops. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C). The
control board then receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and starts the harvest timer.
When the harvest timer completes its count down, the harvest cycle is complete. The
minimum total time allowed by the board for a complete harvest cycle is minutes. HWV
is energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus
50 seconds, whichever is shorter. LED 4 goes off when HWV closes. PM energizes and
runs for the last 50 seconds of harvest. LED 3 comes on when PM energizes. At the
end of harvest, the control board checks the position of LF/S and proceeds to the freeze
cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute ll if it is open.
The unit continues to cycle through freeze and harvest cycles until the bin control
activates (opens) and shuts the unit down.
Note: To prevent incomplete batches of ice from forming on the evaporator, the control
board will only shut down the machine within the rst 5 minutes of the freeze
cycle. If ice pushes the bin control actuator in (open) after the rst ve minutes of
the freeze cycle, the control board will allow the machine to complete the freeze
cycle and the following harvest cycle before shutting down the machine.
