Installation
Installing U155 dispenser in counter
All U155 dispensers must be installed level in both directions and supported
from below with 6" - 9" (153 - 229mm) adjustable leg accessory provided, or
channels installed on site. Do NOT hang dispenser on flange.
!
1. Check that dispenser location meets all requirements in this manual and cut counter as shown. (NOTE: Different
cut-outs for 8 and 10 valve units!)
2. Block up area below counter cut-out to support dispenser when lowered into place.
3. For automatic load dispensers, disconnect ice transport tube from bracket in storage area of dispenser. (Since this
tube must be reinstalled in bracket after dispenser is dropped into counter, note how tube is held by bracket tabs
before disconnecting.)
4. Carefully lower dispenser into counter until it rests on support blocks.
5. Adjust height from below until dispenser flange rests flush with counter.
6. Apply a bead approximately 1/4" (6mm) in diameter of NSF listed silicone sealant (Dow-Corning RTV-732 or
equivalent) around perimeter of dispenser where it meets counter and smooth sealant to a 1/8" (4mm) radius.
7. Install a hard drain line, maintaining at least a 1/4" per foot (6mm per 30.4cm run) slope, and insulate line to
prevent condensation.
PVC pipe is suggested. Care must be taken in sweating any metal drain pipe
used. Excessive heat applied while sweating metal pipe may melt plastic
fitting on dispenser.
!
8. Make electrical connections in accordance with applicable wiring diagrams provided, as well as NEC and local
codes. Provide disconnects within 10 ft (3m) of dispenser and icemaker for servicing.

User information
How the dispenser works
Follett's U155 Series ice dispensers are available in manual load configurations (using ice from another source)
or automatic load configurations, fed from one or two Follett 400 lb (181kg)/day remote icemakers.
In all models, ice is stored below the counter in the dispenser storage area. When the dispense lever or button is
pushed, the dispense motor is activated. This causes the wheel assembly in the storage area to turn, moving ice
to the vertical auger assembly, which carries ice up to the dispense chute where it drops by gravity into the
container.
In automatic load units, ice is manufactured in either one or two Follett remote icemakers. These icemakers may
be located up to 20 f. (6m) away from the dispenser. As water freezes to the inside walls of the icemaker
evaporator, a rotating stainless steel auger removes ice and carries it to the top of the evaporator assembly
where it is compressed and extruded through an outlet port. The extruded ice is then pushed through the tube to
the storage compartment of the dispenser. A level fill circuit maximizes fill in the storage area by rotating the
wheel at intervals until the bin is completely filled. When the bin is filled, a bin stat shuts the icemaker off to avoid
overfilling of the bin. The icemaker will restart after 20 minutes if the bin is calling for ice.
Units with integral ice-water bath beverage cooling are equipped with a water bath timer circuit that activates the
water bath pump for 35 minutes when ice lever or button is activated, or when the ice water bath periodically calls
for more ice.

Water bath circuit board operation
The temperature sensor is hard wired directly to the circuit board. The water bath circuit board operates on 24
volts AC. The bath pump will run for 35 minutes whenever ice is dispensed or the bath calls for ice.
Optimal beverage temperature is controlled by the circuit board located in the electrical box. The board monitors
the water bath temperature and holds it to a factory setting. When the Red LED is ON, the bath solenoid, auger
motor, wheel motor and bath pump are energized. Ice will be dispensed into the water bath for 12 seconds,
then stop for 60 seconds. The pump will stay energized, and the circuit board will then monitor the water
temperature. If it is below the set point, the Green LED will come on, the Red LED light will go off, and ice will
not dispense into the water bath. If the temperature of the bath is determined to be above the set point, the Red
LED will remain on. The circuit board has a delay of 60 seconds before more ice is dispensed into the water
bath.
LED indicators:
Green - the water bath is at the set temperature.
Red - the bath temperature is above the set temperature and the bath is calling for ice.
Flashing LED indicators:
Flashing Red and Green - the circuit board has gone into an error mode:
Alternate flashing - circuit board is powered up and waiting for hopper cover and dispenser top to be
replaced.
Simultaneous flashing - the water bath did not reach set temperature in 40 minutes. Reset this error
mode by turning off power, removing top lid, drain pan or rear lid.
