B. Sequence of Operation
The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, a 5 second
delay occurs at startup. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is
ꢀ, 4, 3, ꢁ.
1. One Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on. WV opens and the fill period begins. After ꢀ minute, the board checks for
a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, WV will remain energized
through additional ꢀ minute cycles until water enters the sump and F/S closes. This serves
as a low water safety to protect the water pump.
2. Initial Harvest Cycle
LEDs ꢀ, 4, and ꢁ are on. WV remains open, Comp and FMR energize, HGV opens,
and harvest begins. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor located on the suction line
checks for a 48°F (9°C) temperature. When 48°F (9°C) is reached, a 3.9 kΩ signal turns
the harvest over to the adjustable harvest timer which is factory set for normal conditions.
The timer has settings of 60, 90, ꢀꢁ0, and ꢀ80 seconds (dip switch ꢀ & ꢁ). The water valve
is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is
shorter. When the harvest timer completes its count down, the harvest cycle is complete
and the freeze cycle starts. The minimum total time allowed by the board for a complete
harvest cycle is ꢁ minutes.
3. Freeze Cycle
LED ꢀ is on. Comp and FMR continue to run, PM and FMS energize, LLV opens, HGV
and WV close and the freeze cycle starts. For the first 5 minutes the control board will not
accept a signal from F/S. This 5 minute minimum freeze acts as a short cycle protection. At
the end of 5 minutes, F/S assumes control. As ice builds on the evaporator the water level
in the sump lowers. The freeze continues until F/S opens and terminates ice production.
4. Pump-Out Cycle
LEDs ꢀ, 3, and ꢁ are on. Comp and FMR continue to run, HGV opens, LLV closes, and
FMS deenergizes. PM stops for ꢁ seconds and reverses, taking water from the bottom of
the sump and forcing pressure against the check valve seat allowing water to go through
the check valve and down the drain. At the same time water flows through the small tube
to power flush the F/S. When the pump-out timer stops counting, the pump out is complete.
Pump out always occurs on the ꢁnd harvest after startup. Then, depending on the control
board setting, pump out occurs every cycle, or every ꢁnd, 5th or ꢀ0th cycle (dip switch 5 &
6).
5. Normal Harvest Cycle
LEDs ꢀ, 4, and ꢁ are on. Comp and FMR continue to run, HGV remains open and WV
opens. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C). The control board
then receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and starts the harvest timer. The water valve
is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is
shorter. When the harvest timer completes its count down, the harvest cycle is complete
and the next freeze cycle starts. The unit continues to cycle through 3, 4 and 5 sequence
until the bin control senses ice and shuts the unit down.

C. Control Board
• A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-650MAH, KM-650MWH
and KM-650MRH Modular Crescent Cubers.
• All models are pretested and factory-adjusted.
CAUTION
ꢀ. Fragile, handle very carefully.
ꢁ. A 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 when handling or replacing the board.
3. Do not touch the electronic devices on the board or the back of the board to
prevent damage to the board.
4. Do not change wiring and connections. Do not misconnect K3, K4 and K5,
because the same connector is used for the thermistor and float switch. K4 is
not connected.
5. Always replace the whole board assembly if it goes bad.
6. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.

2. Features
a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes
Inlet water valve opening, in the harvest cycle, is limited by the harvest timer. The water
valve cannot remain open longer than the maximum period. The water valve can close in
less than six minutes if the harvest cycle is completed.
b) Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer
The harvest backup timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the harvest
cycle takes more than ꢁ0 minutes to complete. The control board will signal this problem
using ꢁ beeps every 3 seconds.
The freeze timer shuts down the icemaker if, for two cycles in a row, the freeze cycle
takes longer than the time specified to complete. The control board will signal this
problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The time is factory set using dip switches 9 &
ꢀ0.
The reset button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset either of
these safeties.
c) High Temperature Safety
The temperature of the suction line in the refrigeration circuit is limited by the high
temperature safety. This protects the unit from excessively high temperatures. If the
evaporator temperature rises above ꢀꢁ7 7°F (53 4°C), the thermistor operates the
safety. This shuts down the circuit and the icemaker automatically stops.
The control board will signal this problem using ꢀ beep every 3 seconds. The reset button
on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.
d) Low Water Safety
If the pump motor is operated without water, the mechanical seal can fail. To prevent this
type of failure, the control board checks the position of the float switch at the end of the
initial one minute water fill cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle.
If the float switch is in the up position (electrical circuit closed), the control board changes
to the ice making cycle. If the float switch is in the down position (electrical circuit open),
the control board changes to additional one minute water fill cycles until water enters the
sump and the float switch closes. When the float switch closes, the control board changes
to the ice making cycle. The unit will not start without adequate water in the sump. This
serves as a low water safety to protect the pump motor from mechanical seal failure.
For water-cooled model, if the water is shut off, the unit is protected by the high pressure
switch.
e) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs
The maximum and minimum allowable supply voltages of this icemaker are limited by the
high voltage and low voltage cut-outs.
If miswiring (especially on single phase 3 wire models) causes excessive voltage (ꢀ47Vac
5% or more) on the control board, the high voltage cut-out shuts down the circuit
in 3 seconds and the icemaker automatically stops. The control board will signal this
problem using 7 beeps every 3 seconds.
The icemaker also automatically stops in cases of insufficient voltage (9ꢁVac 5% or
less). The control board will signal this problem using 6 beeps every 3 seconds.
When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running
again.

f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties
The red LED indicates proper control voltage and will remain on unless a control voltage
problem occurs. At startup a 5 second delay occurs while the board conducts an internal
timer check. A short beep occurs when the power switch is turned OFF.
The green LEDs ꢀ through 4 energize and sequence from initial startup as listed in the
table below. Note that the order of the LEDs from the outer edge of the board is ꢀ, 4, 3,
ꢁ. For more information, see "II.B. Sequence of Operation."

b) Harvest Control – Thermistor
A thermistor (semiconductor) is used for a harvest control sensor. The resistance varies
depending on the suction line temperatures. The thermistor detects the temperature of
the evaporator outlet to start the harvest 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.

Check a thermistor for resistance by using the following procedure:
ꢀ) Disconnect the connector K3 on the board.
ꢁ) Remove the thermistor. See "V.K. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor."
3) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for ꢁ or 3
minutes.
4) Check for a resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is within 3.5 to 7 kΩ.
Replace the thermistor if it exceeds the normal reading.

c) Harvest Timer (dip switch 1 & 2)
The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reads 48°F (9°C) at the
evaporator outlet.
No adjustment is required under normal use, as the harvest timer is adjusted to the
suitable position. However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in
cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning.
Before changing this setting, call the HOSHIZAKI Technical Support Department at
ꢀ-800-ꢁ33-ꢀ940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a
longer setting will decrease ꢁ4 hour production.

d) Pump-Out Timer (dip switch 3 & 4)
When a freeze cycle is completed, the pump motor stops, and the icemaker resumes
operation in ꢁ seconds. Then, during cycles when a pump out is called for, the pump
motor drains the water tank for the time determined by the pump-out timer. The pump-
out timer also acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump out.
The pump-out timer is factory-adjusted, and no adjustment is required.

e) Pump-Out Frequency Control (dip switch 5 & 6)
The pump motor drains the water tank at the frequency set by the pump-out frequency
control.
The pump-out frequency control is factory-adjusted to drain the water tank every ꢀ0
cycles, and no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the
icemaker needs a pump drain more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted as
shown in the table below.

g) Bin Control
CAUTION
When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), the bin control thermostat
operates to stop 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. Setting in the prohibited range might
cause severe damage to the icemaker resulting in failure.
No adjustment is required under normal use, as the bin control is factory-adjusted. Adjust
it, if necessary, so that the icemaker stops automatically within ꢀ0 seconds after ice
contacts the bin control thermostat bulb.

4. Control Board Check Procedure
Before replacing a control board 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.
ꢀ) Check the dip switch settings to assure that #3, 4, 7, 8, 9, & ꢀ0 are in the factory default
position. On units with a slide-type output test switch, the output test switch (S3) should
be OFF. Switches ꢀ, ꢁ, 5, & 6 are cleaning adjustments and the settings are flexible.
ꢁ) Turn the control switch to ICE and check for proper control voltage. If the red LED is ON,
the control voltage is good. If the red LED is OFF, check the control transformer circuit.
3) Check the ꢀꢀ5 volt input at the ꢀ0-pin connector. Check the brown wire at pin #ꢀ0 to a
white neutral wire for ꢀꢀ5 volts. (Always choose a white neutral wire to establish a good
neutral connection when checking voltages.) A jumper also feeds ꢀꢀ5 volts into pin #7.
If no voltage is present, check the ꢀꢀ5 volt supply circuit.
4) The output test switch provides a relay sequence test. On units with a slide-type output
test switch, move the control switch to the OFF position, move the output test switch to
the ON position, then move the control switch to the ICE position. On units with a push-
type output test switch, make sure the control switch is in the ICE position, then press
the output test switch. The correct lighting sequence should be none, ꢁ, 3, 4, ꢀ, and 4,
normal sequence every 5 seconds. Components (e.g., the compressor) will cycle during
the test. Note that the order of the relays from the outer edge of the board is ꢀ, 4, 3, ꢁ.
Note: If the LEDs light in a different sequence or the 5–second interval does not occur,
the control board is bad and should be replaced.
5) After checking the sequence, place the output test switch back in the OFF position
on units with a slide-type switch. The output test switch must remain in the OFF
position during normal operation. On units with a push-type output test switch, the unit
automatically resumes normal operation after the test. The unit begins normal operation
with the ꢀ minute fill cycle.
5. Control Board Replacement
The application switch located between relay X3 & X4 must be set to match the original
board application. Place this switch in the ALP position if there is no white wire supplied
to the Kꢀ connector. If there is a white wire, place the switch in the C position. If this
switch is placed in the wrong position either the compressor contactor will remain
energized with the control switch OFF or the unit will not start.
The dip switches should be adjusted to the factory default settings as outlined in this
manual. Dip switch #8 must remain in the OFF position.

IV. Service Diagnosis
A. 10-Minute KM Diagnostic Procedure
The ꢀ0 minute check out procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used
at unit start-up or for system diagnosis. Using this check out procedure will allow you
to diagnose electrical system and component failures in approximately ꢀ0 minutes
under normal operating conditions of 70°F or warmer air and 50°F or warmer water
temperatures. Before conducting a ꢀ0 minute checkout, check for correct installation,
proper voltage per unit nameplate and adequate water supply. As you go through the
procedure, check to assure the components energize and de-energize correctly. If not,
those components and controls are suspect. Check for voltage at the ꢀ0-pin connector.
ꢀ) Turn power OFF and access the control box.
ꢁ) Turn power ON and place the control switch in ICE position. A 5 second delay occurs.
3) One Minute Fill Cycle – The inlet water valve is energized. After ꢀ minute, the control
board checks the float switch. If the float switch is closed, the unit cycles to harvest. If
closed, continue to step 4. If the float switch is open, the unit repeats the ꢀ minute fill
cycle until water enters and the float switch closes (low water safety protection during
initial start up and at the end of each harvest). Diagnosis: If the water valve does not
open, check for no supply voltage at water valve terminals, bad coil, or plugged screen
or external filter (no water flow). If unit fails to start harvest, check for open float switch
or bad ꢀ minute timer in board.
4) Initial Harvest Cycle – Inlet water valve remains energized, contactor coil energizes to
start the compressor (and fan motor on a remote condenser unit), and the hot gas valve
energizes. The evaporator warms and the thermistor senses 48°F (9°C). The control
board then receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and turns operation of harvest over
to the harvest timer. The timer completes counting (ꢀ to 3 minutes). The unit then cycles
to freeze. Diagnosis: Check if compressor is running, hot gas valve is open, water
valve still open. Average harvest cycle at factory setting is ꢁ to 3 minutes. How long
does initial harvest last? ꢀ.5 minutes after initial harvest begins, touch the compressor
discharge line. Is it hot? If not check refrigerant pressures and compressor operation.
If it is hot, touch the inlet line to the evaporator. Is it hot? If it is hot and the freeze cycle
is not starting, check the harvest timer adjustment, the thermistor for open circuit, the
discharge line temperature, compressor efficiency, and if the hot gas valve is fully open.
5) Freeze Cycle – Compressor remains energized, pump motor, (line valve on remote
condenser unit), and fan motor energize. The inlet water valve and hot gas valve
de-energize. The unit is held in freeze by a 5 minute short cycle protection timer.
After 5 minutes, the freeze cycle operation is transferred to the float switch for
freeze termination. During the first 5 minutes of freeze, confirm that the evaporator
temperature drops. After 7 minutes in freeze, remove the black float switch lead
from the K5 connector. The unit should immediately switch to the pump-out cycle.
Diagnosis: If the evaporator is not cold, check to see if the hot gas valve is still open
or if the expansion valve is not opening properly, if the water valve is continuing to fill
the reservoir, if there are improper unit pressures, an inoperative compressor, or an
inoperative headmaster (C.P.R.) (remote condenser unit only). If the unit remains in
3ꢀ

freeze with the float switch removed, replace the board.
Note: Normal freeze cycle will last ꢁ0 to 40 minutes depending on model and
conditions. Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided
in this manual.
6) Pump-Out Cycle (10/20 second pump out) – the compressor remains energized,
the hot gas valve energizes, the fan motor de-energizes, the pump motor stops for
ꢁ seconds and starts in reverse rotation for ꢀ0/ꢁ0 seconds. (This removes contaminants
from the water reservoir through the check valve (drain valve) and down the drain and
allows for a power flush of the float switch.) Check for clear tubing at the check valve
housing and check the unit drain for water flow. Diagnosis: If the pump motor does not
reverse, check the circuit and capacitor. If water does not pump out, remove the check
valve (drain valve) housing and check/clean the valve assembly.
7) Normal Harvest Cycle – same as the initial harvest cycle – Return to step 4.
Note: Unit continues to cycle until bin control is satisfied or power is switched OFF. (The
pump out cycle can be adjusted to occur every cycle, or every ꢁ, 5, or ꢀ0 cycles.
The factory default is every ꢀ0 cycles.) The unit always restarts at the ꢀ minute fill
cycle.

V. Removal and Replacement of Components
IMPORTANT
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after
the equipment is serviced.
IMPORTANT
ꢀ. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb moisture
quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering the system
when replacing or servicing parts.
ꢁ. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement
has been made.
3. Do not leave the system open for longer than ꢀ5 minutes when replacing or
servicing parts.
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
1. Refrigerant Recovery
The icemaker unit is provided with refrigerant access valves. Using proper refrigerant
practices recover the refrigerant from the access valves and store it in an approved
container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
2. Evacuation and Recharge (R-404A)
ꢀ) Attach service manifold hoses and a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect
charging hoses to both high and low-side access valves.
IMPORTANT
The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for current
refrigerants. However, the rubber hose and gauge manifold to be used for
evacuation and refrigerant charge should be exclusively for POE oils.
ꢁ) Turn on the vacuum pump. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to flow backward.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a ꢁ9.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends
on pump capacity.
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the service manifold.
5) Disconnect the vacuum pump and attach a refrigerant service cylinder to the high-side
line. Remember to loosen the connection and purge the air from the hose.
For air-cooled and water-cooled models, see the nameplate for the required
refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled models, see the charge label in the machine
compartment. Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant
which meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
39
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
6) A liquid charge is recommended for charging an R-404A system. Invert the service
cylinder and place it on scales. Open the high-side, service manifold valve.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
8) If necessary, add any remaining charge to the system through the low-side. Use a
throttling valve or liquid dispensing device to add the remaining liquid charge through
the low-side access port with the unit running.
9) Close the two refrigerant access valves, and disconnect the service manifold hoses.
ꢀ0) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.
B. Brazing
DANGER
ꢀ. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and
temperatures up to ꢀ76°F (80°C).
ꢁ. Refrigerant 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. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
4. Do not use silver alloy or copper alloy containing arsenic.
5. Do not use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
Refrigerant leaks can be detected by charging the unit with a little refrigerant,
raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak detector.
Note: Because the pipes in the evaporator case are specially coated to resist corrosion,
it is important to make connections outside the evaporator case when possible. If
it is necessary to braxe inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove the
coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
C. Removal and Replacement of Compressor
IMPORTANT
Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made.
Note: When replacing a compressor with a defective winding, be sure to install the
new start capacitor and start relay supplied with the replacement compressor.
Due to the ability of the POE oil in the compressor to absorb moisture quickly,
the compressor must not be opened more than ꢀ5 minutes for replacement or
service. Do not mix lubricants of different compressors even if both are charged
with R-404A, except when they use the same lubricant.
ꢀ) Turn off the power supply.
40

ꢀ3) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (ꢀ40 PSIG) and soap bubbles.
ꢀ4) Evacuate the system, and charge it with refrigerant. For air-cooled and water-cooled
models, see the nameplate for the required refrigerant charge. For remote air-cooled
models, see the charge label in the machine compartment.
ꢀ5) Connect the terminals and replace the terminal cover in its correct position.
ꢀ6) Replace the panels in their correct positions.
ꢀ7) Turn on the power supply.

damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
2. Storage Bin and Scoop
• Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (bin accessory).
• The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin.
• Keep the scoop clean. Clean it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.
• Clean the bin liner by using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
3. Air Filters (air-cooled models only)
The plastic mesh air filters located behind the louvers remove dirt or dust from the air,
and keep the condenser from getting clogged. As the filters get clogged, the icemaker’s
performance will be reduced. Check the filters at least twice a month. When they are
clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filters.
4. Condenser (air-cooled and remote air-cooled models only)
Check the condenser once a year, and clean if required by using a brush or vacuum
cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the
icemaker or condenser unit.
