3) Power On: Turn on the power supply, then move the control switch (KMS) to the "ICE" position. A 5-sec. delay occurs. CB red "POWER OK" LED and green "BC CLOSED" LED turn on. Note: • CB red "POWER" LED remains on unless the 10.5VAC power supply is interrupted (K2 connector).
Page 13
5) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV and X11 relay continue. Comp, FMRs, HGVs, and X10 relay energize. CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads 3.9 kΩ...

6) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Comp, FMRs, and PM continue. LLVs energize. HGVs and X10 relay de-energize. The appliance is held in freeze by a 5-min. short cycle protection timer. When FS opens, the freeze cycle terminates. Note: CB K1 connector pin #5 (DBU) de-energizes and K1 connector pin #4 (R) energizes to prevent PM interruption.

7) Pump-Out Cycle – LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on (10/20 second pump-out) – At the factory setting the 1st pump-out occurs after the 11th freeze cycle, then every 10th cycle thereafter. See the table below. S4 Dip Switch Setting Pump-Out 1st Pump-Out Frequency...
C. Control Board Check Before replacing a CB 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. Alarm Reset: If CB is in alarm (beeping), press the "ALARM RESET" button on CB while CB is beeping.
D. Bin Control Check To check BC, follow the steps below. NOTICE When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), BC switch opens and shuts down the appliance even if the ice storage bin is empty. When BC is set in the prohibited range, the appliance operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is filled with ice.

7) Remove the control box cover, then disconnect FS connector from CB black K5 connector. 8) Check for continuity across FS leads. With the water tank empty, FS should be open. If open, continue to step 10. If closed, follow the steps in "II.E.2. Float Switch Cleaning." After cleaning FS, check it again.
Page 19
Be careful not to bend the retainer rod excessively when removing it. 9) Wipe down FS assembly's housing, shaft, float, and retainer rod with a mixture of 1 part Hoshizaki "Scale Away" and 25 parts warm water. Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water.
F. Thermistor Check To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below. 1) Turn off the power supply. 2) Remove the front panel, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position. 3) Remove the control box cover. 4) Remove the thermistor. 5) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or 3 min.
G. Diagnostic Tables Before consulting the diagnostic tables, check for correct installation, proper voltage per nameplate, and adequate water pressure (10 to 113 PSIG). Check control board using the steps in "II.C. Control Board Check." 1. No Ice Production No Ice Production - Possible Cause 1.

2. Freeze-Up Defrost and clean the icemaker prior to diagnosing freeze-up. Fill out a freeze-up checklist. The freeze-up checklist can be found in the Hoshizaki Technician's Pocket Guide or contact your local distributor for a copy of the freeze-up checklist.
Page 23
Freeze-Up - Possible Cause 6. Float Switch a) Float does not move freely. See "II.E. Float Switch Check b) Defective. and Cleaning" 7. Refrigerant Charge a) Low. 8. Control Board a) Harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2) set too short. See "III.
3. Low Ice Production Low Ice Production - Possible Cause Long Harvest Cycle 1. Evaporator a) Scaled up. 2. Spray Tubes and/or Spray a) Dirty. Guides b) Out of position. 3. Refrigerant Charge a) Low. 4. Water Supply a) Low water pressure. b) External water filters clogged.
III. Controls and Adjustments • A Hoshizaki exclusive control board is employed in the KMS-1122MLH series. • All models are pretested and factory adjusted. • For a control board check procedure, see "II.C. Control Board Check." NOTICE • Fragile, handle very carefully.

B. LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties At startup, a 5-sec. delay occurs while CB conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when the control switch (KMS) is moved to the "ICE" position. The red "POWER OK" LED indicates proper control voltage and remains on unless a control voltage problem occurs.
C. Settings and Adjustments NOTICE 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. 1. Default Dip Switch Settings The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: S4 Dip Switch Dip Switch No.
Before changing this setting, contact your local Hoshizaki distributor or Hoshizaki Technical Support for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting decreases 24-hr production.
4. Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) The pump-out frequency control is factory-adjusted to drain the water tank every 10 cycles, and generally no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the appliance needs a more frequent pump-out, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted as shown in the table below.
(upper or lower) the control board monitors for refill initiation during the freeze cycle. The refill counter (S5 dip switch 2 through 5) determines the number of refills. The KMS-1122MLH uses a single float switch and does not refill during the freeze cycle. S5 Dip Switch Setting...
Do not adjust. These must be left in the factory default position or the appliance will not operate correctly. Factory set. S5 dip switch 2 through 5 allows for refills during the freeze cycle. The KMS-1122MLH does not refill. Do not adjust. S5 Dip Switch Setting No. of Refills No.
D. Control Switch and Service Switch 2 switches are used to control the operation of the appliance. These switches are referred to as the control switch and service switch. They are located on the KMS control box. 1. Control Switch The control switch has three positions: "OFF"...
IV. Refrigeration Circuit and Component Service Information WARNING • This appliance should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. • Before servicing the KMS or SRK: Move the KMS control switch to the "OFF" position and turn off the power supply to the SRK condensing unit.

2. Brazing WARNING • R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). • R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous. However, when exposed to high temperatures (open flames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrofluoric acid and carbonyl fluoride both of which are hazardous.

Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose. For the required refrigerant charge, see the nameplate on the condensing unit or the rating label inside the icemaker. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which meets ARI Standard 700 (latest edition) be used.
• The thermistor should be at the 12 o'clock position on the tube. • Smoothly fill the recessed area of the thermistor holder with high thermal conductive type sealant. Hoshizaki America part number 4A0683-01 (Silicone Heat Sink Compound 10-8108 manufactured by GC Electronics), KE-4560 RTV (manufactured by ShinEtsu Silicones), or equivalent are recommended.
V. Maintenance The maintenance schedule below is a guideline. More frequent maintenance may be required depending on water quality, the appliance's environment, and local sanitation regulations WARNING • Only qualified service technicians should service the appliance. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or service switch with damp hands •...
VI. Preparing the Appliance for Periods of Non-Use NOTICE • When storing the appliance for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below to prevent damage. • To prevent damage to the water pump, do not operate the appliance with the control switch in the "SERVICE"...
VII. Disposal The appliance contains refrigerant and must be disposed of in accordance with applicable national, state, and local codes and regulations. Refrigerant must be recovered by properly certified service personnel.
