FastICE System Overview

The Zamboni FastICE system creates a sheet of ice that is harder than a sheet of ice produced by

conventional towel-based methods. Our system pressurizes and atomizes the ice-making water to

convert the water into fine droplets that rapidly freeze to the ice surface.

The key to the FastICE system is the ability of the system to freeze the Ice Making Water rapidly.

The onboard computer console is a water flow management system that integrates the spray

thickness with the ground speed to produce a water application rate that is consistent throughout

the ice resurfacing session. This produces a consistency in the ice sheet that is independent of the

machine operator. Simple controls allow the operator to increase or decrease the spray output in

response to programming usage demands.

FastICE Onboard Controls

The operator controls the real time functions of the system with seven switches in the two switch

banks and one rotary knob on the display. The enclosure for the display and switch banks also

features a USB port that allows an operator to insert a USB drive into the port immediately after an

ice resurfacing session, to download the data from that ice resurfacing session.

The following section depicts each control switch and button and describes its function.

Master Switch:

• OFF – Disables the system

• ON – Provides power to the system

Test Mode

• This switch allows the machine operator to put the system into a mode where a driving speed is

simulated, thereby producing ice making water flow from the booms that are activated.

• This mode allows for an assessment of the health of the spray system, and allows for the

operator to assess the quality of the spray coming from each spray nozzle.

Test Speed Decrement / Increment

• This switch increases or decreases the TEST MODE simulated speed.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp

• Left-hand light illuminates Green when the system has no malfunctions are detected

• Left light illuminates Red when there is a malfunction detected. The right-hand light will be off

when there is no fault active and flash the fault numeric code in a White blinking light when

the left hand light is Red. The details of the blink codes are detailed in the “Troubleshooting”

section of this manual.

Board Spray Valve control switch

• This switch controls water flow to the board spray valve, which can produce water flow from its

spray nozzle only if the lower boom is on and spraying water.

Upper Boom Control Switch

• The upper boom switch initiates or turns off flow from the upper boom.

Lower Boom Control Switch

• The lower boom switch initiates or turns off flow from the lower boom.

Water Application Rate Scaling Switch

• This switch allows the operator to increase or decrease the water flow rate from as low as 50%

of its pre-calibrated value to as high as 150% of its pre-calibrated value.

- The factory-set system flow rates are 10.5 GPM from the Upper Boom and 3.8 GPM

from the Lower Boom at a 5 MPH reference speed. The total flow from both

booms for these flow rates is 14.3 GPM.

Blast Button

• This function allows the operator to apply the maximum water flow rate set in the control

system for up to 10 seconds at a time.

- The factory setting for the maximum water flow rate is 25.7 GPM.

Water Application Rate Scaling

This allows the water flow calibration point to be increased or decreased for a given vehicle speed.

This parameter allows the operator to increase or decrease the ice thickness.

The factory-set system flow rates are 10.5 GPM from the Upper Boom and 3.8 GPM from the

Lower Boom at a 5 MPH reference speed. The total flow from both booms for these flow rates is

14.3 GPM.

Spray Thickness

The spray thickness can be increased or decreased with the water application rate scaling control

rocker switch, or with the rotary knob on the display. This is a calculated value based on the water

flow rate, the overall spray width value stored in the control system, and the traveling speed of the

machine.

Ground Speed

This is the actual speed of the ice resurfacing machine. The water flow produced by the system is

based on the ground speed of the machine.

Water Flow

This is the amount of water being dispersed by the system, per minute. This value is monitored by

the control system, and a fault is raised if:

• The system is not producing enough flow

• The system is producing too much flow

Water Pressure

This is the pressure of the spray water. While this value is not used as a flow control parameter, it

does inform the control system of various fault conditions, such as:

• Water system leaks

• Water system clogs, such as clogged spray nozzles

• Water pump performance problems (in the case of a worn-out water pump)

Water Temperature

This is the temperature of the spray water. This allows the operator to monitor the temperature of

the water used in making ice. This is not used to control the system.

Total Water Used

This is the total amount of water used by the system, since the last time the total was reset with

the soft key to the left of the number for total water used.
