4. Setup u Installazzjoni
The SRK-12J3 Remote Condenser is intended for installation away from the ice maker. Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
4.1 Preparazzjoni tas-Sit
- Ensure the installation location provides adequate ventilation and clearance for airflow.
- The surface must be level and capable of supporting the unit's weight.
- Consider the distance from the compatible ice maker (KMS-1122MLJ-3).
4.2 Refrigerant Line Installation
- Brazing and refrigerant charging are required for installation. This must be performed by a certified refrigeration technician.
- Tubing kits (25', 35', 55' lengths) are sold separately and must be selected based on the required distance between the condenser and the ice maker.
- For installations exceeding the standard tubing kit distances, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support for guidance.
- The unit uses R-404a refrigerant, with a charge of 15 lbs. 14 oz. (7200 g).
4.3 Konnessjoni Elettrika
- The SRK-12J3 operates on Three Phase, 230V/60Hz power.
- The unit must be hardwired at the installation site. A 4-wire connection, including ground, is required.
- If a neutral wire is not available at the installation site, a transformer kit (Hoshizaki part number HS-5030) is required.
- All electrical work must comply with local and national electrical codes and be performed by a licensed electrician.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
