2. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, a 5 second delay occurs at startup. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is 5, 6, 8, 4, 7. [a] ONE MINUTE FILL CYCLE LED 8 is on. WV opens and the fill period begins. After 1 minute, the board checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, WV will remain energized through additional 1 minute cycles until water enters the sump and F/S closes. This serves as a low water safety to protect the water pump. [b] INITIAL HARVEST CYCLE LEDs 5, 6, and 8 are on. WV remains open, Comp energizes, HGV opens, and harvest begins. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor located on the suction line checks for a 9°C temperature. When 9°C is reached, a 3.9 kΩ signal turns the harvest over to the adjustable harvest timer which is factory set for normal conditions. The timer has settings of 60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds (S1 dip switch 1 & 2). When the harvest timer...
[d] DRAIN CYCLE LEDs 4, 5, 6, and 7 are on. Comp continues to run, HGV opens, and FMS de-energizes. PM stops for 2 seconds, DV energizes, then restarts to take water from the sump and force it through DV and down the drain. When the drain timer stops counting, the drain is complete. The drain timer has settings of 10 and 20 seconds (S1 dip switch 3 & 4). Drain cycle always occurs on the 2nd harvest after startup. Then, depending on the control board setting, drain cycle occurs every cycle, or every 2nd, 5th, or 10th cycle (S1 dip switch 5 & 6). [e] NORMAL HARVEST CYCLE LEDs 5, 6, and 8 are on. Comp continues to run, HGV remains open and WV opens. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 9°C. The control board then receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and starts the harvest timer. WV is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds (adjustable by S1 dip switch 7 & 8), whichever is shorter. LED 8 goes off when WV closes. PM energizes and runs for the last 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds of harvest depending on S1 dip switch 7 & 8 setting. LED 7 comes on when PM energizes. At the end of harvest, the control board checks the position of F/S and proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed...
3. CONTROL BOARD * A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-100A and KM-125A Crescent Cubers. * All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. 2. A 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 board.

[b] 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 minus 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds (adjustable by S1 dip switch 7 & 8), 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. The control board will signal this problem using 2 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 specified to complete. The control board will signal this problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The time is factory set using S1 dip switch 9 &...

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 insufficient voltage (184Vac ± 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 control board includes LED indicator lights, audible alarm safeties, and an output test feature. The "POWER OK" LED indicates control voltage and will remain on unless a control voltage problem occurs. The “POWER OK” LED flashes continuously when the bin is full and DV energizes for a maximum of 5 minutes to drain the water tank. At startup, a 5 second delay occurs to stabilize the circuit. LEDs 4 through 8 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 5, 6, 8, 4, 7. For more information, see "2. SEQUENCE OF OPERATION".

Dip Switch Setting Time No. 1 No. 2 (seconds) c) Drain Timer (S1 dip switch 3 & 4) Once every ten freeze cycles, the drain valve opens to drain the water tank for the time determined by the drain timer. These switches also determine the time to delay completion of a defrost cycle, i.e. the minimum defrost time.
Page 17
e) Water Saver Timer (S1 dip switch 7 & 8) The water saver timer allows the water valve to close and the pump motor to circulate water in the tank during the final part of harvest. The water valve is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds (determined by the water saver timer setting), whichever is shorter. When the water valve closes, the pump motor energizes and runs for the time determined by the water saver timer setting.

n) Anti-Slush Control (S2 dip switch 6) [Program Ver. 3.1] Do not adjust. This must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not operate properly. When activated (Ver. 2.0), the thermistor located on the suction line checks for a 50°F (10°C) temperature as the evaporator cools. When 50°F (10°C) is reached, a 3.9 kΩ signal causes the control board to de-energize the pump motor for 10 seconds and energize it for 50 seconds repeatedly. When 34°F (1°C) is reached, a 5.9 kΩ signal causes the control board to de-energize the pump motor for 10 seconds, energize it for 50 seconds, de-energize it again for 10 seconds, then energize it continuously.
2) Move the control switch to the “ICE” position and check for proper control voltage. If the “POWER OK” LED is on, the control voltage is good. If the “POWER OK” LED is off, check the control transformer circuit. If no voltage is present, check the power supply circuit. 3) To perform a relay sequence test, turn on the power switch while pressing the "OUTPUT TEST" button. The correct lighting sequence should be 5, 6, 7, 8, 4. Some components (e.g., the compressor) will cycle during test. Each LED comes on for 5 seconds. LED 5 is on while LED 6 is on. Following the output test sequence, the icemaker will resume normal operation beginning with the 1 minute fill cycle.
5. BIN CONTROL This machine uses a lever-actuated proximity switch (mechanical bin control) to control the ice level in the storage bin. No adjustment is required. [a] EXPLANATION OF OPERATION The bin control is connected to the K1 connector (pins 4 & 5) on the control board. When the bin control is calling for ice (proximity switch closed; "POWER OK" LED on), the control board continues icemaking operations. When the bin control is activated in the bin full position (proximity switch open; "POWER OK" LED flashing), the control board drains and shuts down the unit. However, to prevent incomplete batches of ice from forming on the evaporator, the control board will only shut down the machine during the freeze cycle before the five minute timer expires. The five minute timer starts...
6. SWITCHES Two different control switches are used for operation of KM-100A and KM-125A. They are located on the right side of the control box which becomes accessible when the front louver is removed. The upper is the control switch, and the lower is the service switch. [a] CONTROL SWITCH This switch is used to place the machine into one of three modes: “OFF” (center position), “ICE” (upper position), and “SERVICE” (lower position). [b] SERVICE SWITCH When the control switch is placed in the “SERVICE” position, power is supplied to the service switch. The service switch can be used to perform two functions: draining the tank (“DRAIN” = lower position) and washing the icemaking compartment (“WASH” or...
IV. SERVICE DIAGNOSIS 1. 10-MINUTE 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 21°C or warmer air and 10°C or warmer water temperatures. Before conducting a 10 minute checkout, check for correct installation, proper voltage per unit nameplate and adequate water supply. As you go through the procedure, check to assure the components energize and de-energize correctly. If not,...

V. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT 1. SERVICE FOR REFRIGERANT LINES [a] SERVICE INFORMATION 1) Allowable Compressor Opening Time and Prevention of Lubricant Mixture [R404A] The compressor must not be opened more than 15 minutes in replacement or service. Do not mix lubricants of different compressors even if both are charged with the same refrigerant, except when they use the same lubricant. 2) Treatment for Refrigerant Leak [R404A] If a refrigerant leak occurs in the low side of an ice maker, air may be drawn in. Even if the low side pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure in normal operation, a continuous refrigerant leak will eventually lower the low side pressure below the atmospheric pressure and will cause air suction. Air contains a large amount of moisture, and ester oil easily absorbs a lot of moisture. If an ice maker charged with R404A has...
