General 
Q-Model control boards use a dual voltage transformer. 
This means only one control board is needed for both 
115V and 208-230V use. 
Safety Limits
In addition to standard safety controls, such as the high 
pressure cut-out, the control board has built-in safety 
limits. 
These safety limits protect the ice machine from major 
component failures. For more information, see “Safety 
Limits” on Page 7-13.
Inputs
The control board, along with inputs, controls all 
electrical components, including the ice machine 
sequence of operation. Prior to diagnosing, you must 
understand how the inputs affect the control board 
operation. 
Refer to specific component specifications (inputs), 
wiring diagrams and ice machine sequence of operation 
sections for details. 
As an example, refer to “Ice Thickness Probe” on the 
next page for information relating to how the probe and 
control board function together. 
This section will include items such as: 
• How a harvest cycle is initiated
• How the harvest light functions with the probe
• Freeze time lock-in feature
• Maximum freeze time
• Diagnosing ice thickness control circuitry
