  • Page 4: CMA-180UC Operational Cycle has a total cycle time of 2 minutes (120 seconds). The timing diagram details the individual functions executed during each operational cycle. Toggling the START switch begins a cycle, energizing both the Cam Timer motor and the Instant Start Relay. The Instant Start Relay latches ON the power to the Cam Timer motor, allowing the START switch to be released. After about 1.5 seconds, the Cam Timer’s first cam latches ON the power to the Cam Timer motor. The Cam Timer motor continues to run for a total of 2 minutes before switching OFF and resetting. The Cam Timer’s third cam controls the Wash Pump, which comes ON about 3 seconds into the cycle and runs for 94 seconds. The fourth cam powers ON the Drain Pump, running for about 7 seconds before powering OFF. This cam turns ON again midway through the Rinse Cycle and stays ON for 10 seconds. The Drain Pump turns OFF 2 seconds after the Rinse Cycle has completed.
  • Page 5: About 3 seconds after the wash cycle has completed, the cam timer’s second cam controls the rinse cycle and stays on for 16 seconds. This 16-second period is the rinse cycle. The “Safe-T-Temp” fifth micro switch will pause the cam timer assembly if the booster heater has not reached 180 degrees. The machine will remain in wash cycle mode until the 180-degree rinse temperature is reached. At this time, the cam timer will advance automatically into the rinse cycle and dispense 180 degrees rinse water over the dishes. Cam switches 6 and 7 control the detergent and rinse pumps respectively. They turn on at the beginning of the wash and rinse cycle respectively and run for a few seconds to provide sufficient detergent and rinse additive. These cams can be adjusted as necessary for proper chemical dosage. Use only commercial-grade detergents and rinse additives recommended by your chemical professional. Do not use detergents and rinse additives formulated for residential dishwashers. Refer to section 4.1.1 for cam adjustment.
  • Page 6: Getting Started Introduction to CMA-180UC This manual is structured to provide a complete reference guide to the CMA-180UC. The CMA-180UC is a hot water sanitizing, single rack, under-counter dishmachine. It is a standalone machine featuring a self-contained booster heater. Operation of the CMA-180UC is extremely user friendly. The machine retains the features of the standard CMA-180 Series in that it has a scrap tray. The first section explains how the machine is packaged and what to look for when receiving the machine. Requirements are given for plumbing, wiring, and space considerations. The function of the machine itself is mostly automatic and takes little training to put into full operation. CMA expressly disclaims any and all warranties relating to the installation of any CMA equipment.
  • Page 7: Getting started The dishwasher is shipped from the factory in a corrugated box on a wooden pallet. Installation guidelines provide a systematic procedure for setting up the machine. Start by removing the packaging material. The wash tank scrap screen must be in place during operation. It strains water circulating through the spray arms and pump assembly. Set the machine in place and level it to prevent door leaks. Wood and laminates are unsuitable for areas exposed to dishwasher steam. Electrical supply must be compatible with the machine's specifications. The supply water to the dishwasher must be a minimum of 120°F with a 4 GPM flow rate. All electrical and plumbing connections must be made by a qualified person.
  • Page 8: Getting Started Warning: If water pressure exceeds 50 PSI, a pressure reducing valve (PRV) is recommended. The CMA-180UC is supplied with a drain pump for elevated drains. For floor gravity drain applications, the drain pump should not be used. If removing a drain pump, safe-end the white and purple wires and secure them out of the way. If a drain pump is used with a floor drain, the drain hose must rise 12 to 16 inches before dropping to the floor drain. Caution: CMA recommends utilizing a water softening system to maintain water hardness measurements of 3.5 gpg or less. This will assure maximum results and optimum operation of the dishmachine. Optional built-in chemical dispenser assembly has easy access for chemical settings behind the front kick panel. Basic settings for both detergent and rinse speed are 50%. Use only commercial-grade detergents and rinse aids recommended by your chemical professional.
  • Page 9: Getting Started The NOVA detergent and rinse dispenser has its own reference manual. Familiarize yourself with the dispenser’s reference manual before proceeding with installation. The NOVA dispenser is pre-wired with a multi-conductor electrical cable that is to be run through a conduit to the power block inside the control panel drawer. Use a ½” watertight conduit meeting all local and national codes. A conduit fitting is present on the bottom of the dispenser where the power cable exits. Run your dispenser wires through the conduit and through the enclosed area across the top of the machine. With the machine’s power “OFF”, connect your detergent and rinse dispenser wires to the power block supplied and labeled inside the control panel drawer. The table that follows lists the function of each conductor of the multi-conductor electrical cable. All electrical and plumbing connections must be made by a qualified person who will comply with all available Federal, State, and Local Health, Electrical, Plumbing and Safety codes.

The final step of installing the CMA supplied detergent and rinse dispenser is programming it to your specific application.
  • Page 11: Getting started The CMA “Safe-T-Temp” feature assures the final rinse cycle is always at a consistent minimum of 180 degrees. The “Safe-T-Temp” function operates off the 5th cam on the timer assembly. The cam timer assembly pauses if the booster heater is still heating. The machine remains in wash cycle mode until the rinse temperature is met. At this time, the cam timer will advance automatically into the rinse cycle. If the Safe-T-Temp cam is not used, it becomes a spare cam. Installation instructions include removing the 4 cam timer assembly and installing the 5 cam timer. All wires removed from the 4 cam timer assembly must be placed in the exact position on the 5 cam timer assembly. The “Safe-T-Temp” 5 cam timer assembly kit includes specific wiring instructions for connections. Connect the white wire with male bullet connector from the kit to the dishmachine harness.
