B. 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 1, 4, 3, . 1.
C. Control Board • A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-1800SAH/3, KM-1800SWH/3 and KM-1800SRH/3 Stackable Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. CAUTION 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 Inlet water valve opening, in the harvest cycle, is limited by the harvest timer. The water valve cannot remain open longer than the maximum period. The water valve can close in less than six minutes if the harvest cycle is completed.
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 short beep occurs when the power switch is turned OFF. The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
The dip switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions: Dip Switch No. KM-1800SAH/3 OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF KM-1800SWH/3 OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF KM-1800SRH/3 OFF ON ON ON ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF Freeze Timer (9 &...
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, 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.
e) Pump-Out Frequency Control (dip switch 5 & 6) The pump motor drains the water tank at the frequency set by the pump-out frequency control. The pump-out frequency control is factory-adjusted to drain the water tank every 10 cycles, and no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the icemaker needs a pump drain more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted as shown in the table below: Dip Switch Setting...
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 dip switch settings to assure that #3, 4, 7, 8, 9, & 10 are in the factory default position.
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 or warmer air and 50°F or warmer water temperatures.
Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 0 to 40 minutes depending on model and conditions. Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided in this manual. 6) Pump-Out Cycle (10/20 second pump out) – The compressor remains energized, the hot gas valve energizes, the fan motor de-energizes, the pump motor stops for seconds and starts in reverse rotation for 10/0 seconds.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT 1. Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. . 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.
C. 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.
D. 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.
F. Removal and Replacement of Hot Gas Valve and 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. . Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
G. 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. ) Remove the panels and the top insulation over the evaporator.
5) Remove the plastic cable ties, foam Thermistor Lead Cable Tie insulation, thermistor holder and thermistor. See Fig. 1. 6) Scrape away the old sealant on the thermistor holder and the suction pipe. 7) Wipe off moisture or condensation on the suction pipe.
4) Remove the valve outlet tubing by releasing the clamp. 5) Loosen the fitting nut. Be careful not to lose the washer. 6) Disconnect the terminals from the water valve. 7) Remove the bracket and valve from the unit. 8) Remove the valve from the bracket. Attach new valve to the bracket, then install the valve.
6) Install the new spray tubes, and replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed. 7) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 8) Turn on the power supply. M. Removal and Replacement of Water Regulating Valve – Water-Cooled Model Only IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
N. Adjustment Of Water Regulating Valve – Water-Cooled Model Only The water regulating valve (also called "water regulator") is factory-adjusted. No adjustment is required under normal use. Adjust the water regulator, if necessary, using the following procedure. 1) Prepare a thermometer to check the condenser drain temperature. Attach a pressure gauge to the high-side line of the system.
O. Removal and Replacement of Headmaster (Condenser 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.
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment. WARNING 1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water conditions.
1. Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute 38 fl. oz. (1.15 l) of the recommended cleaner Hoshizaki "Scale Away" or "LIME- A-WAY" (Economics Laboratory, Inc.) with 7 gal. (6 l) of water. ) Remove all ice from the evaporator and the storage bin.
0) Turn off the power supply after 3 minutes. 1) Remove the front panel and fully open the cleaning valve. ) Move the control switch to the "WASH" position. 3) Replace the front panel in its correct position. 4) Turn on the power supply to rinse off the cleaning solution. 5) Turn off the power supply after 5 minutes.
B. Maintenance IMPORTANT This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction manual and labels provided with the unit. 1. Stainless Steel Exterior To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up. 2.
