CB 1-minute default refill timer starts (LED 9 is on during CB 1-minute default refill). The KMS-2000MLH is not wired for the 1-minute default refill. When CB 1-minute default refill timer terminates, CB turns freeze termination over to F/S.
Anti-Slush Control: LED 5 is on. Comp, FMRs, and LLVs remain energized. PM de-energizes for 10 seconds. CB monitors the cooling of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line. When the temperature drops to 34°F (1°C), CB reads 5.8 kΩ...
f) Shutdown LEDs 4 and 7 are on: When BC is activated (BC open), CB red "POWER OK" LED flashes. There is a delay before the shutdown sequence begins. The delay varies depending on the cycle the icemaker is in at the time of activation. For details, see the table below. Cycle at Bin Control Activation Delay Before Shutdown Sequence Begins Fill Cycle 15 seconds Harvest Cycle 15 seconds after the next freeze cycle starts...
C. Control Board • A Hoshizaki exclusive control board is employed in Hoshizaki Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. • For a control board check procedure, see "IV.B. Control Board Check." NOTICE 1. The control board is fragile; handle very carefully. 2. The control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge.

However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in cases where harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning. Before changing this setting, contact Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a longer setting decreases 24-hour production.
c) Pump-Out Timer (S1 dip switch 3 & 4) When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor de-energizes for 2 seconds, then the pump motor and drain valve energize for 10/20 seconds. Water is removed from the bottom of the water tank and pumped down the drain through the drain valve. At the same time, water flows through the small float switch tube to power flush the float switch.
After 2 consecutive freeze timer terminations, the control board shuts down the icemaker. In this case, see "IV.F.3. Low Ice Production" for possible solutions. The freeze timer is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. Before changing this setting, contact your local Hoshizaki distributor or Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Dip Switch Setting...
(upper or lower) the control board monitors for refill initiation during the freeze cycle, and the refill counter (S2 dip switch 3 & 4) determines the number of refills. The KMS-2000MLH uses a single float switch with a double float switch/upper float switch refill setting. The KMS-2000MLH does not refill. When the 5-minute short cycle protection timer terminates, the control board checks the upper float switch. If an upper float switch exists, refill is initiated by an open upper float switch and is terminated by a closed upper float switch. In a single float switch application with a double float switch/upper float...
j) Anti-Slush Program Selector (S2 dip switch 5) The anti-slush program selector determines which anti-slush program is used during the freeze cycle when the anti-slush control (S2 dip switch 6) is activated. The anti-slush control helps prevent slushing in the water tank during the freeze cycle. S2 Dip Switch Settings Pump Motor # of Times Pump...
D. Control and Service Switches The control switch and service switch are used to control the operation of this unit. They are located on the control box. 1. Control Switch The control switch has three positions: "OFF" for power off, "ICE" for icemaking, and "SERVICE" to activate the service switch. 2. Service Switch When the control switch is in the "SERVICE" position, the control switch supplies power to the service switch. The service switch has three positions: "DRAIN," "CIRC." and "WASH." Note: 1. When the service switch is active (control switch in the "SERVICE" position), power is supplied to the pump motor in all three positions.
IV. Service Diagnosis WARNING 1. This unit should be diagnosed and repaired only by qualified service personnel to reduce the risk of death, electric shock, serious injury, or fire. 2. Risk of electric shock. Use extreme caution and exercise safe electrical practices.
