1 B. Sequence of Operation The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, the red POWER OK LED and the green BC CLOSED LED on the control board come on (If the yellow BC OPEN LED is on, the unit will not start. In this case clear ice away from the bin control actuator in the bin area).
13 5. Normal Harvest Cycle LEDs 1, 4 and are on. Comp, FMR and HGVs remain energized. HWV and X1 relay energize, PM stops. As the evaporator warms, the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C). The control board then receives the thermistor's 3.9 k Ω signal and starts the harvest timer.
14 Components Energized when the Control Switch is in the SERVICE Position When in the "SERVICE" position, the control switch supplies power to the service switch and the machine is in service mode. The service switch has three positions: "DRAIN," "CIRC.
15 C. Control Board • A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in the KMS-1400MLH Modular Crescent Cuber. • All models are pretested and factory-adjusted. CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. . A control board contains integrated circuits, which are susceptible to failure due to static discharge.
16 1. Control Board Layout Control Board Part Number A379-01 (factory); 2A3792-02 (service) Control Products "G" Control Board Alarm Reset Button Output Test Button (used to test relay.
17 2. Features a) Maximum Water Supply Period – 6 minutes The harvest water valve will be open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 50 seconds, whichever is shorter.
18 f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties The control board includes LED indicator lights, audible alarm safeties, and an output test. The red LED indicates 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.
19 3. Controls and Adjustments a) Default Dip Switch Settings The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions: S4 Dip Switch Dip Switch No. 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 KMS-1400MLH OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF ON S5 Dip Switch (Do Not Adjust) Dip Switch No.
0 c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4) 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 (T1). The pump-out timer's harvest timer (T) acts in place of the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & ) during cycles with a pump out.
1 f) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 10) CAUTION Adjust to proper specication, or the unit may not operate correctly. The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent possible freeze-up issues. Upon termination of freeze timer, the control board initiates the harvest cycle.
5. Control Board Replacement The dip switches should be adjusted to the factory default settings as outlined in this manual. S4 dip switch #8 must remain off. D. Harvest Control – Thermistor A thermistor (semiconductor) is used for a harvest control sensor.
3 E. Float Switch 1. Explanation of Operation The oat operates switches within the oat switch. The lower switch (black and blue wires) is used for low water safety protection, initiating the freeze cycle rell and terminating the freeze cycle.

33 IV. Service Diagnosis A. 10-Minute Diagnostic Procedure The 10-minute check out procedure is basically a sequence check which can be used at unit start-up or for system diagnosis.
34 5) Freeze Cycle – LED 1 is on. The compressor, fan motors and pump motor remain energized. The liquid line valves energize and the hot gas valves de-energize (also de-energizing the X1 relay). The lower oat switch activates (open) times during the course of a freeze cycle; the rst is for rell, the second is for freeze termination.
35 6) Pump-Out Cycle – The 1st pump out occurs after the 11th freeze cycle and every 10th cycle thereafter. LEDs 1, 3, are on. The compressor and fan motors remain energized. The drain water valve, hot gas valves and X1 relay energize, the liquid line valves de-energize.

41 V. Removal and Replacement of Components IMPORTANT 1.Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after the equipment is serviced. . 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.
4 2. Brazing . WARNING 1. Refrigerant R-404A itself is not ammable at atmospheric pressure and temperatures up to 176°F (80°C). . Refrigerant R-404A itself is not explosive or poisonous.
43 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 the required refrigerant charge, see the rating label inside the front panel on the icemaker or on the nameplate on the condensing unit.
44 11) Remove the plugs from the suction, discharge, and process pipes. 1) Braze all ttings while purging with nitrogen gas owing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.

46 4. Removal and Replacement of Headmaster (Condensing Pressure Regulator - C.P. Regulator) 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.
47 5) Install the new fan motor and replace the removed parts in the reverse order of which they were removed. 6) Replace the panels in their correct positions. 7) Turn on the power supply. C. Icemaker IMPORTANT Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
48 2. Removal and Replacement of Expansion Valve IMPORTANT 1. Sometimes moisture in the refrigerant circuit exceeds the drier capacity and freezes up at the expansion valve. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
49 3. Removal and Replacement of Hot Gas Valve and Liquid Line Valve CAUTION 1. The icemaker unit has 1 hot gas valve and 1 liquid line valve. The hot gas valve has a strainer prior to the valve body. It is advisable to change the strainer and check valves when replacing the hot gas valve.
50 4. Removal and Replacement of Pump Motor 1) Turn off the power supply. ) Remove the panels. 3) Drain the water tank by removing the insulation panel, front frame and suction hose. (See Fig. 3.) 4) Disconnect the pump suction and discharge hoses.
51 6. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor CAUTION 1. Fragile, handle very carefully. . Always use a recommended sealant (high thermal conductive type), Model KE4560RTV manufactured by SHINETSU SILICONE, Part Code 60Y000-11, or Part Code 4A0683-01 equivalent.
5 VI. Cleaning and Maintenance IMPORTANT Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after any cleaning or maintenance is done to the equipment. A. Cleaning and Sanitizing Instructions HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year.
53 e. Reassemble the oat switch. Replace the rubber boot and the oat switch in their correct positions. Reconnect the vent tube. f. Replace the right-side panel in its correct position. 9) Remove the insulation panel by removing the thumbscrews, then pour the cleaning solution into the water tank.
54 2. Sanitizing Procedure - Following Cleaning Procedure 1) Dilute . oz. (60 ml or 4 tbs) of a 5.5% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 4 gal. (15 l) of warm water. ) Remove the insulation panel if it is in its normal position.
55 C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage CAUTION When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water tank and remove the ice from the dispenser unit/storage bin. The dispenser unit/storage bin should be cleaned and dried.
56 15) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position. 16) Disconnect the oat switch vent hose from the drain hose tee. Move the service switch to the "DRAIN" position and the control switch to the "SERVICE" position.
