B. 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 board is 1, 4, 3, 2. 1.
5. Normal Harvest Cycle LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. Comp, FMR, 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...
C. Control Board • A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-515MAH, KM-515MWH, and KM-515MRH Modular Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge.

2. Features a) Maximum Water Supply Period – Six minutes The inlet water valve will be open during harvest for six 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 20 minutes to complete.
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 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
Dip switches are factory set. Failure to maintain factory settings may adversely affect performance and warranty coverage. For more information, contact HOSHIZAKI Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940. a) Default S4 Dip Switch Settings The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: Dip Switch No.
However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, contact HOSHIZAKI Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the pump-out timer's harvest timer (T2) to a longer setting will decrease 24 hour production.
d) Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) CAUTION Do not adjust. Adjustments to this setting may adversely affect performance and warranty coverage. The pump motor drains the water tank at the frequency set by the pump-out frequency control.
4. Control Board Check Procedure Before replacing a control board that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. 1) Check the S4 dip switch settings to assure that #3, 4, 7, 8, 9, & 10 are in the factory default position.
D. Harvest Control – Thermistor A thermistor (semiconductor) is used for a harvest control sensor. The resistance varies depending on the suction line temperatures. The thermistor detects the temperature of the evaporator outlet to start the harvest timer. No adjustment is required. If necessary, check for resistance between thermistor leads, and visually check the thermistor mounting, located on the suction line next to the evaporator outlet.
IV. Service Diagnosis A. 10-Minute KM Diagnostic Procedure The 10 minute check out procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used at unit start-up or for system diagnosis. Using this check out procedure will allow you to diagnose electrical system and component failures in approximately 10 minutes under normal operating conditions of 70°F (21°C) or warmer air and 50°F (10°C) or warmer water temperatures.

5) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Compressor (and fan motor on a remote air-cooled unit) remains energized, pump motor, line valve (if applicable), and fan motor (self-contained air-cooled unit) energize. The inlet water valve and hot gas valve de-energize. The unit is held in freeze by a 5 minute short cycle protection timer.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT 1. Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. 2. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system when replacing or servicing parts.
For air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, see the rating label inside the icemaker. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
B. Removal and Replacement of Compressor IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
C. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve IMPORTANT Sometimes moisture in the refrigeration circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
D. Removal and Replacement of Hot Gas Valve or Line Valve IMPORTANT 1. Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas lines; otherwise the performance may be reduced. 2. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
E. Removal and Replacement of Evaporator IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repairs or replacement have been made. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels and the front and top insulation.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line drain valve. 5) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.
H. Removal and Replacement of Headmaster (Condensing Pressure Regulator - C.P.R.) - Remote Air-Cooled Model Only IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made.
I. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor IMPORTANT 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. Always use the recommended sealant (high thermal conductive type), Model KE4560RTV manufactured by SHINETSU SILICONE, Part Code 60Y000-11, or Part Code 4A0683-01 or equivalent. 3. Always use the recommended foam insulation (non-absorbent type) or equivalent.
J. Removal and Replacement of Fan Motor Note: When replacing a fan motor with defective winding, it is recommended that a new capacitor be installed. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the panels. 3) Remove the junction box cover from the remote condenser unit (remote air-cooled model).
L. Removal and Replacement of Pump Motor 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel. 3) Remove the base cover. 4) Drain the water tank by removing one end of the pump tubing. See Fig. 3. 5) Disconnect the pump suction and discharge hoses. 6) Remove the closed end connectors from the pump motor leads.
