Electrical Connections: KCMR230 Fan Relay Kit (CME656R & CME806R only)

When 2 ice machines are connected to 1 remote

condenser coil, and the fan motor is powered from

the ice machines, a relay kit is required to connect

power to the fan motor.
1. Attach the relay box of the KCMR230 to a

location that is convenient for installation and

future service.
2. Attach a solid earth ground wire to the ground

screw.
3. Route the connecting wires from the first ice

machine’s fan wires to the relay kit terminal strip

posts marked: No. 1 Ice Machine.
4. Route the connecting wires from the second

machine’s fan wires to the relay kit terminal strip

posts marked: No. 2 Ice Machine.
5. Attach wires at the fan relay kit terminal strip

marked: To Remote Fan, and route them to the

remote condenser electrical connection.
6. Make the proper electrical connection at the

junction box.
Conform to all applicable codes.

Phasing: To be certain that a reliable installation of

the KCMR230 kit has been accomplished, a check

of the electrical phasing is required.
The goal is to have each set of points in the relay

“break" the one power “leg" - so there is no voltage

potential when switching.
Note: 3 phase machines must have the same “leg"

or line connected to L3 on BOTH ice machines

contactors, and if there is a “wild leg" it must be

connected to L3 on BOTH ice machines.

A. Before initial start up. Compare the illustration of

the KCMR230 terminal strip to the connections at

the KCMR230:

Terminals 1 and 3 must be connected to a

common leg (such as L1).

Terminals 2 and 4 must be connected to a

common leg (such as L2).

B. After initial start up, test with a volt meter

(compressors must be ON).
1. Switch on ice maker #1, then ice maker #2.
2. Test with a volt meter between terminals #2 and

#4, then between terminals #1 and #3.
List the voltages and compare to the table:
If there is full voltage where there should be NO or

little voltage:

Switch off ice maker number 2, and then switch off

ice maker number 1.
After the units have pumped down, disconnect the

electrical power. Do all wiring with the electrical

power disconnected to BOTH ice makers at the

source.
Reverse the connections at the KCMR230 terminal

strip marked ice maker #1 (put the wire that was

on terminal 1 on 2 and the wire that was on

terminal 2 on 1).
Reconnect electrical power.
