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 and FMR remain energized. FMS de-energizes and the HGV and WV open. 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.
C. Control Board • A Hoshizaki exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-1900SAH/3, KM-1900SWH/3, and KM-1900SRH/3 Stackable 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 - 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 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 control switch is moved to the "OFF" position. The green LEDs 1 through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the table below.
The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: S4 Dip Switch Model KM-1900SAH/3 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF KM-1900SWH/3 OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF KM-1900SRH/3 ON OFF ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF ON OFF S4 Dip Switch Freeze Timer (9 &...
c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) When a freeze cycle is completed, the pump motor stops, and the icemaker resumes operation in 2 seconds. Then, 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. The pump-out timer also acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump out.
f) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 10) CAUTION 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 the freeze timer, the control board initiates the harvest cycle.
5. Control Board Replacement Before replacing a control board that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, see "II.C.4. Control Board Check Procedure." Before installing the new control board, adjust the S4 dip switches to the factory default settings. See "II.C.3.a) Default Dip Switch Settings."...
7) Wipe down the float switch assembly's housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod and clean the inside of the rubber boot and hose with a mixture of 1 part of Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts of warm water. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.
F. Bin Control CAUTION When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), the bin control thermostat operates to stop the icemaker even if the ice storage bin is empty. When the thermostat is set in the prohibited range, the icemaker operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is filled with ice.
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.

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 700 (latest edition) 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 Liquid Line Valve IMPORTANT 1. Always use a copper tube of the same diameter and length when replacing the hot gas valve lines; otherwise, performance may be affected. 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.
6) Install the new condenser assembly, then attach the side frame in its correct position. 7) Remove the drier, then place the new drier in position. 8) Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG. 9) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks.
13) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. See the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. 14) Close the drain valve(s). Open the condenser water supply line shut-off valve. If connected to a closed loop water supply, also open the condenser return outlet shut-off valve.
I. Removal and Replacement of Water Regulating Valve - Water-Cooled Models 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. 1) Turn off the power supply.
J. Adjustment of Water Regulating Valve - Water-Cooled Models 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 procedures. 1) Prepare a thermometer to check the condenser drain temperature. Attach a pressure gauge to the high-side line of the system.
9) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
11) Connect the thermistor leads through the bushing of the control box to the K3 connector on the control board. CAUTION Do not cut the leads of the thermistor. 12) Replace the control box cover and the panels in their correct positions. 13) Turn on the power supply.
