    B. Sequence of Operation 1. Sequence Cycles and Shutdown a) "E" Control Board: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0 The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, CB red "POWER OK" LED comes on. There is a 5-second delay before startup. Note that the order of the component LEDs from the outer edge of CB is 1, 4, 3, 2.

  • Page 21: B) "G" Control Board: Auxiliary Code U-1 And Later

    (5) Harvest Cycle Same as the initial harvest cycle. See "II.B.1.a)(2) Initial Harvest Cycle." Note: Unit continues to cycle until TBC is satisfied or power is turned off. The unit always restarts at the 1-minute fill cycle. (6) Shutdown When ice contacts the thermostatic bulb (TBC switch open), TBC shuts down the unit within 10 seconds.

  • Page 22: Pump-Out Cycle

    (3) Freeze Cycle LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM, FM, and LLV energize. HGV and WV de-energize. For the first 5 minutes, CB will not accept a signal from F/S. This minimum 5-minute freeze time is short cycle protection for Comp. At the end of 5 minutes, F/S assumes control.
  • Page 23 (6) Shutdown When MBC is activated (MBC open), the yellow "BC OPEN" LED comes on. The unit then shuts down as outlined in the table below. Cycle at Shutdown Mechanical Bin Control Activation Fill Cycle 15 seconds after activation. Harvest Cycle At the end of the harvest cycle, or up to 15 seconds into the freeze cycle if activated at the end of the harvest cycle.

    C. Control Board • A Hoshizaki exclusive solid-state control board is employed in KM-901MAH, KM-901MWH, and KM-901MRH/3 Modular Crescent Cubers. • All models are pretested and factory set. 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. It is especially important to touch the metal part of the unit before handling or replacing the control board.

    2. Features a) Maximum Water Supply Period - 6 minutes "E" control board: The inlet water valve is open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is shorter. "G" control board: The inlet water valve is open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 0 or 50 seconds (harvest pump timer (S4 dip switch 7)), whichever is shorter.

  • Page 30: F) Led Lights And Audible Alarm Safeties

    f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties (1) "E" Control Board: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0 At startup, a 5-second delay occurs while the control board conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when power is turned off. The red LED indicates proper control voltage and remains on unless a control voltage problem occurs.
  • Page 31 (2) "G" Control Board: Auxiliary Code U-1 and Later At startup, a 5-second delay occurs while the control board conducts an internal timer check. A beep occurs when the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position. The red LED indicates proper control voltage and remains on unless a control voltage problem occurs.

  • Page 32: Controls And Adjustments

    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.

  • Page 33: C) Pump-Out Timer (S4 Dip Switch 3 & 4)

    c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) When a pump-out is called for, the pump motor de-energizes after the preceding freeze cycle. The pump motor energizes 2 seconds later in the reverse direction, taking water from the bottom of the tank and forcing pressure against the check valve seat allowing water to go through the check valve and down the drain.

  • Page 34: E) Bin Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer (S4 Dip Switch 7)

    e) Bin Control Selector/Harvest Pump Timer (S4 dip switch 7) Depending on the control board, S4 dip switch 7 is either a bin control selector or harvest pump timer. Do not adjust. This dip switch must be left in the factory default position or this unit will not operate correctly.

  • Page 35: G) Freeze Timer (S4 Dip Switch 9 & 10)

    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 Hoshizaki Technical Support at 1-800-233-1940 for recommendations.

  • Page 36: Bin Control

    D. Bin Control 1. Thermostatic Bin Control: Auxiliary Code T-0, U-0 When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), the thermostatic bin control switch opens and shuts down 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 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.
  • Page 51 3) 1-Minute Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. WV energizes. After 1 minute, CB checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If closed, continue to step 4. If open, WV remains energized through additional 1-minute fill cycles until water fills the tank and closes F/S (low water safety).
  • Page 52 5) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM, LLV, and FM energize. WV and HGV de-energize. The unit is held in freeze by a 5-minute short cycle protection timer (CB will not accept a signal from F/S). After the 5-minute short cycle protection timer expires, CB turns freeze termination over to F/S.

  • Page 69: Brazing

    2. Brazing 1. R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). 2. 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. 3.
