LF/S opens and terminates ice production, provided the 5 minute freeze timer has expired. Note: Because the KMS-750MLH does not require a refill, the UF/S is not used. 4. Pump-Out Cycle LEDs 1, 4, 3, and are on. With dip switches 5 and 6 in the factory default postion, the 1st pump out occurs after the 11th freeze cycle and every 10th cycle thereafter.
5. Normal Harvest Cycle LEDs 1, 4 and are on. Comp, FMR and HGVs remain energized. HWV and X1 relay energize, PM stops. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C). The control board then receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and starts the harvest timer. When the harvest timer completes its count down, the harvest cycle is complete.
C. Control Board • A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in the KMS-750MLH Modular Crescent Cuber. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. . A control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge.

2. Features a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes The harvest water valve will be open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 50 seconds, 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.
f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties The red LED indicates 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 control switch is moved to the "ICE" position. The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reads 48°F (9°C) at the evaporator outlet. No adjustment is required under normal use, as the harvest timer is adjusted to the suitable position. Before changing this setting, call the HOSHIZAKI Technical Support Department at 1-800-33-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting will decrease 4 hour production.
c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) Leave in the factory default position; otherwise, the harvest water valve will not open during pump out. During cycles when a pump out is called for, the pump motor drains the water tank for the time determined by the pump-out timer.
f) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 10) Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly. The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent possible freeze-up issues. Upon termination of freeze timer, the control board initiates the harvest cycle.
5. Control Board Replacement The application switch located between relay X3 & X4 must be set to match the original board application. Place this switch in the ALP position. The dip switches should be adjusted to the factory default settings as outlined in this manual. S4 dip switch #8 must remain in the "OFF"...
The float has switches within the float switch. The lower switch (black and blue wires) is used for low water safety protection and termination of the freeze cycle. The upper switch (black and red wires) is not used on the KMS-750MLH. 2. Cleaning Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the float, float switch shaft and inside the housing.
