2. 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 5, 6, 8, 9, 4, 7.
[a] ONE MINUTE FILL CYCLE
LED 8 is on. WV opens and the fi ll period begins. After 1 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 1 minute cycles until water enters the sump and F/S closes. This
serves as a low water safety to protect the pump motor.
[b] INITIAL HARVEST CYCLE
LEDs 5, 6, and 8 are on. WV remains open, Comp energizes, 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 k signal turns the harvest
over to the adjustable harvest timer which is factory set for normal conditions. The timer
has settings of 60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds (S1 dip switch 1 & 2). 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 2
minutes. WV is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest
minus 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds (adjustable by S1 dip switch 7 & 8), whichever is shorter.
LED 8 goes off when WV closes. PM energizes and runs for the last 0, 10, 30, or 50
seconds of harvest depending on S1 dip switch 7 & 8 setting. LED 7 comes on when
PM energizes. At the end of harvest, the control board checks the position of F/S and
proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute fi ll if it is open.
[c] FREEZE CYCLE
LEDs 5 & 7 are on. Comp continues to run, PM and FMS energize, HGV closes and the
freeze cycle starts. For the fi rst 5 minutes after the thermistor temperature reaches 36°F
(2°C), the control board will not accept a signal from F/S. This minimum freeze period
acts as a short cycle protection. At the end of this period, F/S assumes control. As the
evaporator cools, the thermistor located on the suction line checks the temperature and
PM stops (see “III. 3. TIMING CHART” for details). This is to prevent slushing. As ice
builds on the evaporator the water level in the sump lowers. The freeze continues until
F/S opens and terminates ice production.
[d] PUMP-OUT CYCLE
LEDs 4, 5, 6, and 7 are on. Comp continues to run, HGV opens, FMS de-energizes.
PM stops for 2 seconds, DV energizes, then restarts to take water from the sump and
force it through DV and down the drain. When the drain timer stops counting, the drain
is complete. The drain timer has settings of 10 and 20 seconds (S1 dip switch 3 & 4).
Pump-out cycle always occurs on the 2nd harvest after startup. Then, depending on
9
the control board setting, pump-out cycle occurs every cycle, or every 2nd, 5th, or 10th
cycle (S1 dip switch 5 & 6).
[e] NORMAL HARVEST CYCLE
LEDs 5, 6, and 8 are on. Comp continues 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 k signal and starts the harvest timer. WV is open during
harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 0, 10, 30, or 50
seconds (adjustable by S1 dip switch 7 & 8), whichever is shorter. LED 8 goes off when
WV closes. PM energizes and runs for the last 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds of harvest
depending on S1 dip switch 7 & 8 setting. LED 7 comes on when PM energizes. At the
end of harvest, the control board checks the position of F/S and proceeds to the freeze
cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute fi ll if it is open.
The unit continues to cycle through [c], [d], and [e] sequence until the bin control is
activated and shuts the unit down. When the bin control is activated, the “POWER OK”
LED fl ashes.
[f] SHUTDOWN
When BC is activated (BC open), the “POWER OK” LED flashes. There is a delay
before the shutdown sequence begins. The delay varies depending on the cycle the
icemaker is in at the time of activation. For details, see the table below.
Cycle at Bin Control Activation Delay Before Shutdown Sequence Begins
Fill Cycle15 seconds
Harvest Cycle15 seconds after the next freeze cycle starts
Freeze Cycle15 seconds if BC is activated between the beginning of
freeze and termination of the 5-minute short cycle protection
timer (timer starts when the thermistor temperature drops to
36°F (2°C) (5.5 k or more)). After this time, the unit will not
shut down until the next harvest cycle is complete.
After the delay, all components de-energize. DV energizes after 2 seconds. PM
energizes after 2 seconds. PM takes water from the tank and forces it through DV and
down the drain. The water tank drains for a maximum of 5 minutes or until F/S opens.
DV and PM (if applicable) then de-energize. When BC closes again calling for ice, the
unit starts at the 1-minute fi ll cycle. There is a 90-second minimum off time before the
icemaker can restart.

3. CONTROL BOARD
* A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in crescent cubers.
* All models are pretested and factory-adjusted.
CAUTION
1. Fragile, handle very carefully.
2. 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 before 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.
5. Always replace the whole board assembly if it goes bad.
6. Do not short out the power supply to test for voltage.

[b] FEATURES
a) Maximum Water Supply Period - 6 minutes
The inlet water valve will be open during harvest for 6 minutes or the length of harvest
minus 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds (adjustable by S1 dip switch 7 & 8), whichever is shorter.
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 20 minutes to complete. The control board will signal this
problem using 2 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 S1 dip switch 9 &
10.
The alarm 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 127°F (53°C) ± 7°F (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 1 beep every 3 seconds. The alarm
reset button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.
d) Low Water Safety
The control board checks the position of the fl oat switch at the end of the initial one
minute water fi ll 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 next cycle. If the fl oat switch is in the down position (electrical circuit
open), the control board changes to additional one minute water fi ll cycles until water
enters the sump and the fl oat switch closes. When the fl oat switch closes, the control
board changes to the next cycle. The unit will not start without adequate water in the
sump. This serves as a low water safety to protect the water pump.
For water-cooled model, if the condenser water supply 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 (147Vac
± 5% or more) on the control board, the high voltage cut-out shuts down the circuit in 3
14
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 insuffi cient voltage (92Vac ± 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 control board includes LED indicator lights, audible alarm safeties, and an output
test feature. The “POWER OK” LED indicates control voltage and will remain on unless
a control voltage problem occurs. The “POWER OK” LED fl ashes continuously when the
bin is full and DV energizes for a maximum of 5 minutes to drain the water tank.
At startup, a 5 second delay occurs to stabilize the circuit. LEDs 4 through 8 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 5, 6, 8, 9, 4, 7. For more information, see “2.

c) Pump-Out Timer (S1 dip switch 3 & 4)
Once every ten freeze cycles, the drain valve opens to drain the water tank for the time
determined by the pump-out timer. These switches also determine the time to delay
completion of a defrost cycle, i.e. the minimum defrost time.
Do not change this setting, or the unit will not operate properly or produce high quality
ice.

Pump-out cycle always occurs on the 2nd harvest after startup. Then, depending on the
pump-out frequency control setting (S1 dip switch 5 & 6), pump-out cycle occurs every
cycle, or every 2nd, 5th, or 10th cycle.
d) Pump-Out Frequency Control (S1 dip switch 5 & 6)
The water tank drains at the frequency set by the pump-out frequency control.
The pump-out frequency control is factory-adjusted to drain the water tank every 10
cycles, and no adjustment is required. However, where water quality is bad and the
icemaker needs a pump-out more often, the pump-out frequency can be adjusted as
shown in the table below.

e) Harvest Pump Timer (S1 dip switch 7 & 8)
The harvest pump timer allows the water valve to close and the pump motor to circulate
water in the tank during the fi nal part of harvest. The water valve is open during harvest
for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds
(determined by the harvest pump timer setting), whichever is shorter. When the water
valve closes, the pump motor energizes and runs for the time determined by the harvest
pump timer setting.
The harvest pump timer is factory-adjusted, and no adjustment is required.

Adjust to proper specifi cation, 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, machine initiates the
harvest cycle. After 2 consecutive timer terminations, machine will shut down, possibly
indicating a problem.

g) Pump-Out Pump Motor Delay (S2 dip switch 1)
The pump-out pump motor delay determines whether or not the pump motor deenergizes for 2 seconds before restarting at the beginning of a drain cycle.
The pump-out pump motor delay is factory adjusted, and no adjustment is required.
Do not adjust. These must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not
operate properly. The KM-201BAH/BWH and KM-260BAH/BWH do not refi ll.
i) Anti-Slush Control (S2 dip switch 5 & 6) [Program Ver. 2.5 or earlier]
Do not adjust. These must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not
operate properly.
The anti-slush control (Ver. 1.0, Ver. 2.0) helps prevent slushing during the freeze cycle
on small icemakers.
It is deactivated on the KM-201BAH and KM-260BAH.
When activated (Ver. 1.0), the thermistor located on the suction line checks for a 34°F
(1°C) temperature as the evaporator cools. When 34°F (1°C) is reached, a 5.9 k signal
causes the control board to de-energize the pump motor for 10 seconds.
When activated (Ver. 2.0), the thermistor located on the suction line checks for a 50°F
(10°C) temperature as the evaporator cools. When 50°F (10°C) is reached, a 3.9 k
signal causes the control board to de-energize the pump motor for 10 seconds and
energize it for 50 seconds repeatedly. When 34°F (1°C) is reached, a 5.9 k signal
causes the control board to de-energize the pump motor for 10 seconds, energize it for
50 seconds, de-energize it again for 10 seconds, then energize it continuously.
Do not adjust. This must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not operate
properly.
When activated, this control promotes harvest of ice on the evaporator that is hard to
remove. If the harvest cycle exceeds 6 minutes, the pump motor starts to operate for a
maximum of 3 minutes.
Do not adjust. This must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not operate
properly. The KM-201BAH/BWH and KM-260BAH/BWH do not refi ll.
Do not adjust. This must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not operate
properly.
It is deactivated on the KM-201BAH/BWH and KM-260BAH/BWH.
When activated, this control determines whether ice remains on the evaporator at the
end of a harvest cycle and at the beginning of a freeze cycle. If ice drops and activates
the bin control switch in the last 10 seconds of a harvest cycle, the control determines
that ice still remains on the evaporator and extends the harvest cycle for 30 seconds.
If the bin control switch is activated at the beginning of a freeze cycle, the control
determines that ice still remains on the evaporator and starts a harvest cycle after the
minimum freeze cycle time has passed.
