C. Sequence of Operation

The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, the red

"POWER OK" LED on the control board comes on. A 5-second delay occurs at startup.

Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the control board is , 4, 3, .

1. One Minute Fill Cycle

LED 4 is on. WV opens and the ll period begins. After  minute, the control board

checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, WV will remain

energized through additional  minute cycles until water enters the sump and F/S closes.

This serves as a low water safety to protect PM.

2. Initial Harvest Cycle

LEDs , 4, and  are on. WV remains open, Comp and HGV energize. The control board

monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line.

When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), the control board reads a 3.9 kΩ signal from

the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the adjustable harvest timer (S4 dip

switch  & ) which is factory set for normal conditions. The harvest timer has settings

of 60, 90, 0, and 80 seconds. For details, see "II.D.3.b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch

 & )." When the harvest timer completes its countdown, the harvest cycle is complete

and the freeze cycle starts. The minimum total time allowed by the control board for a

complete harvest cycle is  minutes. WV is energized during harvest for a maximum of

6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is shorter. At the end of harvest, the control

board checks the position of F/S and proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed or calls

for a -minute ll if it is open.

3. Freeze Cycle

LED  is on. Comp continues to run, PM and FMS energize, LLV opens, HGV and

WV close, and the freeze cycle starts. For the rst 5 minutes, the control board will not

accept a signal from F/S. This 5 minute minimum freeze acts as a short cycle protection.

At the end of 5 minutes, F/S assumes control. As ice builds on the evaporator the water

level in the sump lowers. The freeze continues until F/S opens and terminates ice

production.

4. Pump-Out Cycle

LEDs , 3, and  are on. Comp continues to run, HGV opens, LLV closes, and FMS

de-energizes. PM stops for 5 seconds and reverses, taking water from the bottom of

the sump and forcing pressure against the check valve seat allowing water to go through

the check valve and down the drain. At the same time, water ows through the small

tube to power ush F/S. When the pump-out timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) stops counting,

the pump out is complete. The st pump out occurs after the st freeze cycle. The pump-

out frequency control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) determines the frequency of subsequent

pump outs. For details, see "II.D.3.d) Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 &

6)."

5

5. Normal Harvest Cycle

LEDs , 4, and  are on. Comp and HGV remain energized. PM stops and WV

energizes. The control board monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor

located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), the control board

reads a 3.9 kΩ signal from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the

adjustable harvest timer (S4 dip switch  & ) on cycles with a pump-out and to the

pump-out timer's harvest timer on cycles with a pump out. For details, see "II.D.3.b)

Harvest Timer (S4 Dip Switch  & )" and "II.D.3.c) Pump-Out Timer." When the harvest

timer completes its countdown, the harvest cycle is complete and the freeze cycle starts.

The minimum total time allowed by the control board for a complete harvest cycle is

 minutes. WV is energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length

of harvest, whichever is shorter. At the end of harvest, the control board checks the

position of F/S and proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed or calls for a -minute ll if

it is open.

Components Energized when the Control Switch is in the "WASH" Position

The "WASH" position on the control switch is used when cleaning and sanitizing the unit. When in the

"WASH" position, power is supplied to the pump motor. The cleaner and sanitizer ow over the outside of

the evaporator plate assembly.

D. Control Board

• A Hoshizaki exclusive solid-state control board is employed in KM-30MAH-E,

KM-55MAH-E, and KM-650MAH-E Modular Crescent Cubers.

• All models are pretested and factory-adjusted.

CAUTION

. Fragile, handle very carefully.

. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to

failure due to static discharge. It is especially important to touch the metal

part of the unit before handling or replacing the control board.

3. Do not touch the electronic devices on the control board or the back of the

control board.

4. Do not change wiring and connections. Do not misconnect K3, K4, and K5,

because the same connector is used for the thermistor and oat switch. K4

is not connected.

5. Always replace the whole control board assembly if it goes bad.

6. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.

2. Features

a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes

The inlet water valve will be open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest

whichever is shorter.

b) Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer

The harvest backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the harvest

cycle takes more than 0 minutes to complete. The control board will signal this problem

using  beeps every 3 seconds.

The freeze timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the freeze

cycle takes longer than the time specied to complete. The control board will signal

this problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The time is factory set using S4 dip

switch 9 & 0. For details, see "II.D.3.f) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 0)."

The "ALARM RESET" button on the control board must be pressed with power on to

reset either of these safeties.

c) High Temperature Safety

The temperature of the suction line in the refrigeration circuit is limited by the high

temperature safety. This protects the unit from excessively high temperatures. If the

evaporator temperature rises above 7 ± 7°F (53 ± 4°C), the control board reads a

.804 kΩ signal from the thermistor and operates the safety. This shuts down the circuit

and the icemaker automatically stops.

The control board will signal this problem using  beep every 3 seconds. The "ALARM

RESET" button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.

d) Low Water Safety

The control board checks the position of the oat switch at the end of the initial  minute

water ll cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle.

If the oat switch is in the up position (electrical circuit closed), the control board

changes to the ice making cycle. If the oat switch is in the down position (electrical

circuit open), the control board changes to additional  minute water ll cycles until water

enters the sump and the oat switch closes. When the oat switch closes, the control

board changes to the ice making cycle. The unit will not start without adequate water in

the sump. This serves as a low water safety to protect the pump motor from mechanical

seal failure.

e) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs

The maximum and minimum allowable supply voltages of this icemaker are limited by

the high voltage and low voltage cut-outs.

If miswiring (especially on single phase 3 wire models) causes excessive voltage

(47Vac ±5% or more) on the control board, the high voltage cut-out shuts down the

circuit in 3 seconds and the icemaker automatically stops. The control board will signal

this problem using 7 beeps every 3 seconds.

The icemaker also automatically stops in cases of insufcient voltage (9Vac ±5% or

less). The control board will signal this problem using 6 beeps every 3 seconds.

When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running

again.

f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties

The red LED indicates proper control voltage and will remain on unless a control voltage

problem occurs. At startup, a 5 second delay occurs while the board conducts an

internal timer check. A beep occurs when the power is turned off.

The green LEDs  through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the

table below. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is , 4, 3,

. For more information, see "II.C. Sequence of Operation."
