Operation ICE MANAGER SYSTEM General information The Ice Manger diverter valve system is designed to direct ice from one Horizon ice machine to two ice storage units. AUTO is the standard operating mode. When selected, ice is directed to the lane 1 storage unit until it reaches the MIN (minimum) set-point. Ice is then directed to the lane 2 storage unit and will continue to fill this lane until the FULL level is achieved.
Cleaning and preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance Periodic cleaning of Follett’s Ice Manager diverter valve system is required to ensure peak performance and delivery of clean, sanitary ice. Cleaning of the Ice Manager system, in most cases, should be performed by your facility’s maintenance staff or a Follett authorized service agent.

Service System components Follett’s Ice Manager diverter valve system consists of following major components: • • • • • • Diverter valve module Control panel module Ice transport tube lane 1 with a dedicated sensor cable 1 Ice transport tube lane 2 with a dedicated sensor cable 2 Ice level sensor / ice distribution module for lane 1 Ice level sensor / ice distribution module for lane 2 System operation The Ice Manager diverter valve system is designed to control the feeding of ice from one Horizon ice mac
Diverter valve module Fig. 36 There are three major functional components within the diverter valve. no connection power lane 2 lane 1 gearmotor lane 1 switch lane 2 switch Control board (Fig. 36) The control board manages all functions of the Ice Manager diverter valve system based on signals received from lane 1 and lane 2 ice level sensors. It diverts ice flow from one lane to another, while ice storage units are filled and shuts off ice machine when both dispensers are at the FULL level. Fig.

Control panel (Fig. 39) The control panel is powered with 12vdc coming from the diverter valve control board via the gray control cable. It contains a membrane switch and an LCD screen. Note: The diverter valve control board receives power directly from the outlet. The system will be running even if the control panel is not operational. Membrane switch (Fig. 39) The membrane switch contains LED indicators offering a quick system status.
Fig. 41 Ultrasonic sensor (Fig. 42) The ultrasonic sensor measures ice level in each ice storage unit. The sensor outputs an analog voltage between 0.5vdc and 4.5vdc corresponding the ice level distance from the face of the sensor.
Ice level set points Ice level set points are set at the factory and normally do not need to be changed. Setting recommendations are shown in the table below. Please contact Follett Technical Services toll free at (877) 612-5086 or +1 (610) 252-7301 prior to changing ice level set points.
