Icemaker Scheduler

Use Scheduler to set automatic stop/start times for ice makers with the required remote-control hardware and wiring. Confirm installation compatibility with support before relying on a schedule.

Create or update a schedule

1. Open Scheduler and choose the option to add a schedule.
2. Enter a descriptive name and its active date range.
3. Under Target ice makers, choose the ice makers to control.
4. Enter the stop/start time range. Use Add time range for additional windows.
5. Set the recurrence and select the machines.
6. Select Create schedule, or Update schedule when editing an existing schedule.

Time ranges use the selected machine's configured time zone. Check the time zone for every target machine, especially when applying one schedule to multiple locations.

Optional alert suppression

Disable IM not running alert skips that alert while an automatic schedule has the ice maker stopped. It is off by default and does not apply to manual shutdowns. See scheduled-stop alert suppression.

Overrides, manual control, and connectivity

Review assigned schedules and vend-count overrides on the Scheduler Machines tab. An enabled vend-count override can restart an ice maker before the scheduled start time. Manual commands do not remove an assigned schedule; later scheduled actions can still change its state.

A scheduled action requires working communication and current machine status. If the network is unavailable at the scheduled time, the action can fail and be logged. Check Machine Logs and the actual ice-maker state; do not assume a missed stop or start occurred.

See Icemaker Remote Control for manual-control context.
