  • Page 23: Sequence Of Operation

    B. Sequence of Operation The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. This unit utilizes a control board to switch the components on and off as needed. When power is supplied, the power switch is in the "ON" position, and the control switch is in the "ICE" position, CB "POWER OK" LED comes on.
  • Page 24: E) Shutdown Cycle

    LED turns on (flashing or steady), IS shutdown delay timer (S1 dip switch 1, 2, & 3) begins. For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay is recommended. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable. See "II.C.4.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, 2, &...

    C. Control Board • A Hoshizaki exclusive control board is employed in FD-1001MAH(-C), FD-1001MWH(-C), FD-1001MRH(-C), and FD-1001MLH(-C) Modular Flakers. • All models are pre-tested 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.

    When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable. For further details, see "II.C.4.b) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 dip switch 1, 2, and 3)."...
  • Page 29: F) High Voltage And Low Voltage Cut-Outs

    f) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs The maximum and minimum allowable supply voltages of this icemaker are limited by the high voltage (147Vac±5% or more) and low voltage (92Vac±5% or less) cut-outs. When high voltage (147Vac±5% or more) is present, the icemaker automatically stops and the control board signals with a 7-beep alarm every 3 seconds.
  • Page 30: Alarm Safeties

    Before resetting, contact your local Hoshizaki Service Representative. Turn the power off and then on again to reset the alarm. If the high pressure switch has reset, the icemaker starts running again.
  • Page 31: F) High Voltage (7-Beep Alarm)

    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. a) Default Dip Switch Settings The S1 dip switch settings are factory-set to the following positions: Dip Switch No.
  • Page 32: B) Infrared Sensor Shutdown Delay (S1 Dip Switch 1, 2, & 3)

    For a typical dispenser unit application, a 100-second shutdown delay is recommended. When used with a standard Hoshizaki storage bin, any shutdown delay setting is acceptable. Increasing the shutdown delay allows a higher level of ice in the dispensing unit/storage bin before shutdown.
  • Page 33: E) Bin Control Selector (S1 Dip Switch 7)

    e) Bin Control Selector (S1 dip switch 7) This unit is factory set for infrared sensor bin control operation. No adjustment is required. When used on a standard ice storage bin, the mechanical bin control may be used instead of the infrared sensor by moving S1 dip switch 7 to the off position. In the factory default position (S1 dip switch 7 in the on position), the gear motor delay after the upper float switch closes is 30 seconds.
  • Page 34: Bin Control

    The paddle-actuated mechanical bin control may be used as a stand-alone bin control when the unit is placed on a standard Hoshizaki ice storage bin (S1 dip switch 7 in the off position). WARNING! Do not place S1 dip switch 7 in the off position on dispenser unit applications.

    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.
