    2. CONTROLLER BOARD [a] SOLID-STATE CONTROL 1) A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-630MAF, KM630MWF, and KM-630MRF Modular Crescent Cubers. 2) A Printed Circuit Board (hereafter called “Controller Board”) includes a stable and high quality control system. 3) All models are pretested and factory-adjusted.
  • Page 14 2) Defrost Timer The defrost cycle starts when the Float Switch opens and completes the freeze cycle. But the Defrost Timer does not start counting until the Thermistor senses 48°F at the Evaporator outlet. The period from the end of the freeze cycle up to the point of the Thermistor's sensing varies depending on the ambient and water temperatures.

If this switch is placed in the wrong position either the compressor contactor will remain ener- gized with the control switch OFF or the unit will not start. The dip switches should be adjusted per the adjustment chart published in the Tech Specs book.

  • Page 17: [C] Sequence

    [c] SEQUENCE 1st Cycle 1. Unit energized and Control Switch to “ICE” position. Water supply cycle starts. 2. After 1 minute, Defrost cycle starts. 5. After the first 5 minutes in freeze cycle. Ready to complete freeze cycle when Float Switch circuit opens.
  • Page 18 2nd Cycle and after with pump drain IMPORTANT Freeze cycle time is limited to 60 minutes even if Float Switch does not open. 1. Float Switch opens and signals to complete freeze cycle. Drain timer starts counting. 5. After the first 5 minutes in freeze cycle. Ready to complete freeze cycle when Float Switch circuit opens.
  • Page 19 2nd Cycle and after with no pump drain IMPORTANT Freeze cycle time is limited to 60 minutes even if Float Switch does not open. 1. Float Switch opens and signals to complete freeze cycle. 4. After the first 5 minutes in freeze cycle. Ready to complete freeze cycle when Float Switch circuit opens.

    [d] CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS The Dip Switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions: DIP SWITCH NO. KM-630MWF OFF OFF KM-630MAF, OFF OFF KM-630MRF Switch Nos. 1 and 2: Used for adjustment of the Defrost Timer. The Defrost Timer starts counting when the Thermistor reads a certain temperature at the Evaporator outlet.
  • Page 21 1) Defrost Control A thermistor (Semiconductor) is used for a defrost control sensor. The resistance var- ies depending on the Suction Line temperatures. The Thermistor detects the tempera- ture of the Evaporator outlet to start the Defrost Timer. No adjustment is required. If necessary, check for resistance between Thermistor leads, and visually check the Thermistor mounting, located on the Suction Line next to the Evaporator outlet.
  • Page 22 3) Drain Timer The Drain Timer is factory-adjusted, and no adjustment is required. SETTING Dip Switch No. 3 T1: Time to drain the Water Tank T2: Time to restrain defrost completion 4) Drain Counter Do not adjust the Drain Counter, or the Evaporator may freeze up. The Drain Counter is factory-adjusted to drain the Water Tank every 10 cycles, and no adjustment is required.

    5) Freeze Timer Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly. Two new dip switches numbered 9 and 10 have been added to the improved “E” board to better prevent possible freeze ups. These settings come factory set to the default setting of 60 min.
  • Page 24 After the 1 minute ± 5 second water supply cycle and the 2 minute ± 10 second defrost cycle, the unit should start the freeze cycle. (ii) After the above step (i), disconnect the Float Switch leads from the Controller Board within the first 5 minutes of the freeze cycle.
