2. CONTROLLER BOARD
[a] SOLID-STATE CONTROL
1) A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in 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.
[b] CONTROLLER BOARD
CAUTION
1. Fragile, handle very carefully.
2. A controller 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 (white), Float
Switch (black), and Mechanical Bin Control (red).
(For machines with thermostat, there is no connection on K4.)
5. Always replace the whole board assembly when it goes bad.
6. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.
PARTNUMBER
2A1410-01
TYPE
HOS-001A (Control Products)
Features of Control Products “E” Controller Board
1) Maximum Water Supply Period - 6 minutes
Water Solenoid Valve opening, in the Defrost (Harvest) Cycle, is limited by the defrost
timer. The Water Valve cannot remain open longer than the
maximum period. The Water Valve can close in less than six minutes if the defrost cycle
is completed.
32
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
3) High Temperature Safety - 127 ± 7°F
The temperature of the suction line in the refrigerant circuit is limited by the High
Temperature Safety.
During the defrost cycle the Evaporator temperature rises. The Thermistor senses
48°F and starts the Defrost Timer. After the Defrost Timer counts down to zero,
the normal freeze cycle begins. If the Evaporator temperature continues to rise,
the Thermistor will sense the rise in temperature and at 127 ± 7°F the Thermistor
operates the High Temperature Safety.
This High Temperature Safety shuts down the circuit and the icemaker automatically
stops. To reset the safety, turn the power off and back on again.
This High Temperature Safety protects the unit from excessive temperature. The Control
Board will Beep every 3 seconds. The white Reset Button on the Control Board must be
pressed with power on to reset the Safety.
4) Low Water Safety
If the Pump Motor is operated without water, the mechanical seal can fail. To prevent this
type of failure, the Controller 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 defrost cycle.
If the Float Switch is in the up position (electrical circuit closed), the Controller Board
changes to the ice making cycle. If the Float Switch is in the down position (electrical
circuit open), the Controller Board changes to a one minute water fill cycle before starting
the ice making cycle. This method allows for a Low Water Safety shut down to protect
the Water Pump from mechanical seal failure.
For water-cooled model, if the water is shut off, the unit is protected by the High Pressure
Switch.
5) High Voltage Cutout
ThemaximumallowablesupplyvoltageofthisicemakerislimitedbytheHighVoltageCutout.
If miswiring (especially on single phase 3 wire models) causes excessive voltage on the
ControllerBoard,theHighVoltageCutoutshutsdownthecircuitin3secondsandtheicemaker
automatically stops. When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically
startsrunningagain. TheControlBoardwillsignalthisproblemusing7Beepsevery3seconds.
6) 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 ON or OFF.

Check for defrost problem (stuck HGV or relay), hot water entering unit, stuck
headmaster, or shorted thermistor.
2 beeps every 3 sec. = Defrost Back Up Timer. Defrost >20 minutes.
Orange LED marked 20 MIN energizes.
Check for open thermistor, HGV not opening, TXV leaking by, low charge, or inefficient
compressor.
3 beeps every 3 sec. = Freeze Back Up Timer. Freeze > 60 minutes.
Yellow LED marked 60 MIN energizes.
Check for F/S stuck closed (up), WV leaking by, HGV leaking by, TXV not feeding
properly, low charge, or inefficient compressor.
4 beeps every 3 sec. = Short Circuit between the K4 connection on
the control board and the bin control relay. Check connections and
replace wire harness if necessary.
Machines

5 beeps every 3 sec. = Open Circuit between the K4 connection
ONLY
on the control board and the bin control relay. Check connections and
replace wire harness if necessary.
To manually reset the above safeties, depress white alarm reset button with the power
supply ON.
6 beeps every 3 sec. = Low Voltage. Voltage is 92 Vac or less.
7 beeps every 3 sec. = High Voltage. Control voltage > 147 Vac ±5%.
The red LED will de-energize if voltage protection operates.
The voltage safety automatically resets when voltage is corrected.
The Output Test switch “S3” provides a relay sequence test. With power OFF, place S3
ON and switch power to ICE. The correct lighting sequence should be none, 2, 3, 4, 1, &
4, normal sequence every 5 seconds. S3 should remain in the “OFF” position for normal
operation.

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 K1 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 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. Number 8 must remain in the OFF position.

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.
Switch Nos. 3 and 4:
Used for adjustment of the Drain Timer.
When a freeze cycle is completed, the Pump Motor stops, and the icemaker
resumes operation in 2 seconds. Then the Pump Motor drains the Water Tank
for the time determined by the Drain Timer. The Drain Timer also determines the
time to restrain completion of a defrost cycle, i.e. the minimum defrost time.
Switch Nos. 5 and 6:
Used for adjustment of the Drain Counter.
The Pump Motor drains the Water Tank at the frequency determined by the Drain
Counter.

Switch No. 7:
Used only on models with mechanical bin control. Dip Switch should be set “ON”.
(Models with bin thermostat, Switch No. 7 should be set in the “OFF” position.)
Switch No. 8:
Used only for checking the Controller Board. Usually set in OFF position.
Switch Nos. 9 and 10:
Used for adjustment of Freeze Timer.
The Freeze Timer determines maximum
freeze cycle time. Upon termination of
Freeze Timer, machine initiates the
harvest cycle. After 2 consecutive timer
terminations, machine will shut down,
possibly indicating a problem.
1) Defrost Control
A thermistor (Semiconductor) is used for a defrost control sensor. The resistance
varies depending on the Suction Line temperatures. The Thermistor detects the
temperature 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.

Check a thermistor for resistance by using the following procedures.
(i) Disconnect the connector K3 on the board.
(ii) Remove the Thermistor. See “V. 11. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF
THERMISTOR.”
(iii) Immerse the Thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 or 3
minutes.
(iv) 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.

2) Defrost Timer
No adjustment is required under normal use, as the Defrost Timer is adjusted to the suit-
able position. However, if necessary when all the ice formed on the Evaporator does not
fall into the bin in the harvest cycle, adjust the Defrost Timer to longer setting by adjusting
the Dip Switch (No. 1 & 2) on the Controller Board.

MODELS WITH THERMOSTAT
CAUTION
When the ambient temperature is below 45°F, 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 10 seconds after
ice contacts the Bin Control Thermostat Bulb.

MODELS WITH MECHANICAL BIN CONTROL
CAUTION
Dip Switch No. 7 must be set to the ON position. If No. 7 is set to the OFF
position, the machine will run continuously, causing a freeze-up condition.
No adjustment is required. The Bin Control is factory-adjusted.
[e] CHECKING THE CONTROLLER BOARD
1) Visually check the sequence with the icemaker operating.
2) Visually check the Controller Board by using the following procedures.
(i) Adjust the Defrost Timer to minimum position.
Disconnect the Thermistor from the Controller Board.
Connect a 1.5 kΩ - 3.5 kΩ resistor to the Connector K3 (pins #1 and #2), and energize
the unit.
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.
The unit should go into the defrost cycle after the first 5 minutes ± 20 seconds of the
freeze cycle.
(iii) Reconnect the Float Switch Connector to the Controller Board. After the first 5
minutes of the freeze cycle, disconnect the Float Switch leads from the Controller
Board.
At this point, the unit should start the defrost cycle.
(iv) After Step (iii), de-energize the unit and confirm that the Defrost Timer is in the
minimum position. Disconnect the resistor from the Controller Board, and ener-
gize the unit.
Afterthe1minutewatersupplycycle, thedefrostcyclestarts.
Reconnect a 1.5 kΩ - 3.5 kΩ resistor to the Connector K3 (pins #1 and #2) after the
first 2 minutes of the defrost cycle.
The unit should start the freeze cycle after 1 minute ± 5 seconds from the resistor
connection.

3) Check the Controller Board by using test program of the Controller Board.
The Output Test Switch “S3” provides a relay sequence test. With power OFF, place S3
on and switch power to ICE. The correct lighting sequence should be none, 2, 3, 4, 1, and
4, normal sequence every 5 seconds. S3 should remain in the “OFF” position for normal
operation.
3. SWITCHES
Two control switches are used to control operation in the KML Series Modular Crescent
Cubers. These switches are referred to as the “Control Switch” and the “Service Switch.”
[a] CONTROL SWITCH
The Control Switch is located on the lower left section of the control box when facing
the front of the machine. This switch is used to place the machine into one of three
modes: “Power Off” (Center position), “Ice Making” (Right position), and “Service” (Left
position).
[b] SERVICE SWITCH
When the Control Switch is pushed to the left, the machine is placed in “Service” mode.
In this position the Control Switch supplies power to the Service Switch. The Service
Switch can be used to perform three functions: Drain the tank (left position), Circulate
water (center position), Wash the ice making compartment (right position). When the
Service Switch is activated power is supplied to the pump in all three positions.
1) Drain
The KML series utilizes a pump-out drain system. When the Service Switch is active
and placed in the left position, power is supplied to the pump and the Drain solenoid
valve.
2) Wash
The KML series utilizes a solenoid operated cleaning valve. When the Service Switch
is active and placed in the right position, power is supplied to the pump and the Bypass
solenoid valve. This cleans both the inside and outside of the evaporator plate
assembly.
3) Circulate
When the Service switch is active and placed in the center position, power is supplied
to the pump only. This operation can be used to circulate cleaner for extended periods
of time over the outside surface of the Evaporator.

4. MECHANICAL BIN CONTROL
(THESE INSTRUCTIONS NOT APPLICABLE TO MODELS WITH THERMOSTAT)
[a] PROXIMITY SWITCH
1) This machine uses a lever-actuated proximity switch (hereafter called “mechanical bin
control”) to control the ice level in the storage bin.
[b] EXPLANATION OF OPERATION
1) The startup and shutdown of the ice machine is controlled via the controller board.
Dip Switch number seven must be in the ON position for the controller board to re-
ceive input from the bin control.
(i) The controller board receives a resistance value input via the red K4 connector
from the bin control. A resistor wire harness is connected from the bin control to
the controller board.
(ii) When the bin control is activated in the bin full position (pushed to the right), a
15.8 KΩ signal will be sent to the control board to shut down the unit.
(iii) When the bin control is in the normal position (bin is not full), a 7.9 KΩ reading is
sent to the control board to continue operation.
2) During operation, the controller board will only shut down the machine if a 15.8 KΩ
signal is received from the bin control during the first 5 minutes of the freeze cycle.
(i) If ice pushes the lever to the right after the first five minutes of the freeze cycle,
the controller board will allow the machine to complete the freeze cycle and the
following harvest cycle before shutting down the machine. This will prevent
incomplete batches of ice from forming on the evaporator.
(ii) If the sensor detects ice within ½ inch of the face and energizes the bin control
relay during the harvest cycle, the controller board will allow the machine to
complete the harvest cycle before shutting down the machine. This will ensure
that all ice has been removed from the evaporator before shutting the machine
down.

[c] TROUBLESHOOTING (MECHANICAL BIN CONTROL ONLY)
1) Machine will not start
(i) Move dip switch No. 7 to the “OFF” position. If the machine starts up within a few
seconds, the bin control is the likely problem. If the machine does not start up,
refer to Section “IV. Service Diagnosis” to verify that non-bin control related issues
are resolved.
(ii) Check to make sure shipping tape has been removed and the wires are connected
properly.
(iii) Check to make sure no obstruction prevents the lever from moving to the bin empty
position.
2) Machine will not shut off
(i) Refer to Section “IV. Service Diagnosis” to verify that non-bin control related issues
are resolved.
(ii) Dip switch No. 7 should be in the on position. If the switch is in the off position, the
controller board will not receive input from the bin control.
(iii) Move the lever to the far right.
a. If the machine does not shut off, check the resistance values of the resistor
wire harness. You should read approximately 15.8 KΩ between the black
terminal and the red terminal that connect to the K4 connector on the con-
troller board, when the lever is in the bin full position (far right). If this reads
approximately 7.9 KΩ, the resistors are miswired. Switch the black and
white wires in the terminal housing or order a replacement wire harness.
b. Check the stainless steel bracket that the bin control is mounted to.
c. If the preceding items do not resolve the problem, replace the Bin Control
Assembly.

V. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS
IMPORTANT
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place
after the equipment is serviced.
IMPORTANT
1. 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.
2. Always install a new filter drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
3. Do not leave the system open for longer than 5 minutes when replacing or
servicing parts.
1. SERVICE FOR REFRIGERANT LINES
[a] REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
The icemaker unit is provided with two Refrigerant Access Valves–one on the low-side and
one on the high-side line. 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.
[b] EVACUATION AND RECHARGE [R-404A]
1) Attach Charging Hoses, a Service Manifold 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.
2) 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 29.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period
depends on pump capacity.
4) Close the Low-side Valve and High-side Valve on the Service Manifold.
89
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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. See the Nameplate for the required refrigerant charge.
Hoshizaki recommends only virgin refrigerant or reclaimed refrigerant which
meets ARI Standard No. 700-88 be used.
6) A liquid charge is recommended for charging an R-404A system. Invert the service
cylinder. Open the High-side, Service Manifold Valve.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the pressures balance.
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 Hoses and Service
Manifold.
10) Cap the Access Valves to prevent a possible leak.
2. BRAZING
DANGER
1. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not flammable at atmospheric pressure and
temperatures up to 176° F.
2. 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: All brazing-connections inside the Evaporator Case are clear-paint coated.
Sandpaper the brazing connections before debrazing the components. Use a
good abrasive cloth to remove coating.

3. 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 15 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.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Remove the panels.
3) Recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container.

4. MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT
This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction
manual and labels provided with the icemaker.
1) Stainless Steel Exterior
To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean and soft cloth. Use
a damp cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
2) Storage Bin and Scoop
•Washyourhandsbeforeremovingice. Usetheplasticscoopprovided(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 Filter (Air-cooled model only)
A plastic mesh air filter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the Condenser
from getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be
reduced. Checkthefilteratleasttwiceamonth. Whenclogged, usewarmwaterand
a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.
4) Condenser (Air-cooled model 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.
