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.
PART NUMBER TYPE
2A1410-01 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.
14
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. 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 The maximum allowable supply voltage of this icemaker is limited by the High Voltage Cutout.
If miswiring (especially on single phase 3 wire models) causes excessive voltage on the Controller Board, the High Voltage Cutout shuts down the circuit in 3 seconds and the icemaker automatically stops. When the proper supply voltage is resumed, the icemaker automatically starts running again. The Control Board will signal this problem using 7 Beeps every 3 seconds.
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.
15
The green LED’s 1-4 represent the corresponding relays and energize and sequence 5 seconds from initial start-up as follows:
Sequence Step LED’s on Length: Min. Max. Avg.
1 Minute Fill Cycle LED4 60 sec. Harvest Cycle LED1, 4, & 2 2 min. 20 min. 3-5 min. Freeze Cycle LED1 5 min. 60 min. 30-35 min. Reverse Pump Out LED1, 3, & 2 10 sec. 20 sec. Factory set.
{LED 1 – Comp; LED 2 - HGV/CFM; LED 3 – PM; LED 4 - WV} The built in safeties shut down the unit and have alarms as follows:
1 beep every 3 sec. = High Evaporator Temperature >127 ° F. 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
Machines with mechanical bin control ONLY
the control board and the bin control relay. Check connections and replace wire harness if necessary.
5 beeps every 3 sec. = Open Circuit between the K4 connection 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 ener­gized 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.

[d] CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS

The Dip Switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions:
FOR MODELS WITH MECHANICAL BIN CONTROL:
DIP SWITCH NO. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
KM-630MAH OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON OFF ON OFF KM-630MWH OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF KM-630MRH OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON ON OFF ON OFF
FOR MODELS WITH THERMOSTAT :
DIP SWITCH NO. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
KM-630MAH OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF KM-630MWH OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF KM-630MRH OFF OFF OFF OFF ON ON OFF OFF ON OFF
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.
21
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.
Temperature (°F) Resistance (kΩ)
0 14.401 10 10.613 32 6.000 50 3.871 70 2.474
90 1.633 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 k. Replace the Thermistor if it exceeds the normal reading.
22
2) Defrost Timer No adjustment is required under normal use, as the Defrost Timer is adjusted to the suitable
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.
SETTING TIME
Dip Switch Dip Switch
No. 1 No. 2
OFF OFF 60 seconds O N OFF 90 seconds OFF ON 120 seconds ON ON 180 seconds
3) Drain Timer The Drain Timer is factory-adjusted, and no adjustment is required.

T1: Time to drain the Water Tank T2: Time to restrain defrost completion
4) Drain Counter
CAUTION
Do not adjust the Drain Counter, or the Evaporator may freeze up.
The Drain Counter 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 drain more often, the Drain Counter can be adjusted as shown in the table below:
23
SETTING FREQUENCY
Dip Switch Dip Switch
No. 5 No. 6
OFF OFF every cycle ON OFF every 2 cycles OFF ON every 5 cycles ON O N every 10 cycles
5) Freeze Timer
CAUTION
Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly.
Two new dip switches numbered 9 and 10 have been added to the improved “E” board to better prevent possible freeze ups. These settings come factory set to the default setting of 60 min. (OFF, OFF). Check the adjustment chart published in the Tech Specs for proper settings. If the old board does not have these two dip switches, (only 8 instead of 10), leave setting as OFF, OFF.
6) Bin Control
MODELS WITH THERMOSTAT
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.
SETTING TIME
Dip Switch Dip Switch
No. 9 No. 10
OFF OFF 60 min. O N OFF 70 min. OFF O N 50 min. ON ON 60 min.
CAUTION
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.
24
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 k - 3.5 k 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 energize the unit. After the 1 minute water supply cycle, the defrost cycle starts. Reconnect a 1.5 k - 3.5 k 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.
25
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. 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 7 must be in the ON position for the controller board to receive 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 K 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 K 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 K 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.
26

[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 K between the black terminal and the red terminal that connect to the K4 connector on the control­ler board, when the lever is in the bin full position (far right). If this reads approximately 7.9 K, the resistors may be 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.
46
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. 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

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 refriger-
ant, raising the pressure with nitrogen and using an electronic leak detector.
DANGER
Note: All brazing-connections inside the Evaporator Case are clear-paint coated. Sandpaper the brazing connections before unbrazing the components. Use a good abrasive cloth to remove coating.
47

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) Remove the Terminal Cover on the Compressor, and disconnect the Compressor Wiring.
5) Remove the Discharge and Suction Pipes using brazing equipment.
6) Remove the Hold-down Bolts, Washers and Rubber Grommets.
7) Slide and remove the Compressor. Unpack the new Compressor package. Install the new Compressor.
8) Attach the Rubber Grommets of the prior Compressor.
9) Sandpaper the Suction, Discharge and Process Pipes.
10) Place the Compressor in position, and secure it using the Bolts and Washers.
11) Remove plugs from the Suction, Discharge and Process Pipes.
12) Braze the Process, Suction and Discharge lines (Do not change this order), while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at the pressure 3 - 4 PSIG.
13) Install the new Filter Drier.
14) Check for leaks using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG) and soap bubbles.

2. CLEANING AND SANITIZING PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT
Ensure all components, fasteners and thumbscrews are securely in place after any maintenance or cleaning is done to the equipment.
W ARNING
1. HOSHIZAKI recommends cleaning this unit at least once a year. More frequent cleaning, however, may be required in some existing water condi­tions.
2. To prevent injury to individuals and damage to the icemaker, do not use ammonia type cleaners.
3. Always wear liquid-proof gloves for safe handling of the cleaning and sanitizing solution. This will prevent irritation in case the solution comes into contact with skin.
IMPORTANT
1. The Cleaning Valve is used to allow solution flow to the inside of the
Evaporator during the cleaning and sanitizing operation. It should be closed for all icemaking operation. The Compressor will not operate unless this valve is completely closed.
2. To open the Cleaning Valve, the Valve Handle should be parallel to the
valve body. To close the valve, the Valve Handle should be at a right angle to the valve body.
