2. CONTROLLER BOARD

[a] SOLID-STATE CONTROL

1) A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KML-200 Series Modular
Crescent Cubers.

2) A Printed Circuit Board (hereafter called “Controller Board”) includes a stable and
high quality control system.

3) All models are pre-tested 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. Especially, never misconnect
K3, K4 and K5, because the same connector is used for the Thermistor
and Float Switch. K4 is not connected.

5. Do not fix the electronic devices or parts on the board in the field.

Always replace the whole board assembly when it goes bad.

6. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.

PART NUMBER TYPE

2U0127-01 MY9KM910 (Alpine)

Note: (1) Maximum Water Supply Period - 6 minutes

Water Solenoid Valve opening, in the Defrost (Harvest) Cycle, is limited by
maximum period of the defrost timer. The Water Valve cannot remain open
longer than the maximum period. The Water Valve can close in less than the
maximum period if the defrost cycle is completed.

9

(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.

(4) Low Water Safety

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.
For water-cooled model, if the water is shut off, the unit is protected by the
High Pressure Switch.

(5) High Voltage Cut-out

The maximum allowable supply voltage of this icemaker is limited by the High
Voltage Cut-out.
If miswiring causes excessive voltage on the Controller Board, the High Volt­age Cut-out 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.

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.

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 (kW)

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 THER-

MISTOR.”

(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 7kW. 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
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 position
by setting the Dip Switch (No. 1 & 2) on the Controller Board.

4) Drain Counter

CAUTION

Do not adjust the Drain Counter, or the Evaporator may freeze up.

Except for some B-type models, 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:

17

5) Bin Control

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 in approximately 6 to 10
seconds after ice contacts the Bin Control Thermostat Bulb.

[e] CHECKING 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 1.5kW - 3.5kW 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.
Re-connect a 1.5kW - 3.5kW resistor to the Connector K3 (pins #1 and #2) after
the first 2 minutes of the defrost cycle.

18

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.

(i) Disconnect the Connector K1 from the Controller Board. Set the Dip Switch No. 7

and 8 on the Controller Board to the “ON” position, and energize the unit.

(ii) The current flows to each Relay (from X1 to X4) one after another every time the

float is raised and the contacts close. See the following chart, and check “OPEN”
and “CLOSE” of Pins of the Connector K1 at each step.

(iii) If the checks are completed, turn off the icemaker, plug the Connector K1 into the

Controller Board as before, and set the Dip Switch No. 7 and 8 to the “OFF” posi­tion.

TEST PROGRAM OF CONTROLLER BOARD

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 funtions: 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.

V. REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS

1. SERVICE FOR REFRIGERANT LINES

[a] REFRIGERANT RECOVERY

The icemaker unit is provided with two Refrigerant Access Valves on the low-side and
high-side lines. 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

1) Attach Charging Hoses, a Service Manifold and a Vacuum Pump to the system. For
models with the Line Valve, be sure to connect Charging Hoses to both high-side
and low-side lines, or the high-side line cannot be evacuated because of the Line
Valve.

2) Turn on the Vacuum Pump.

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.

5) Disconnect the Vacuum Pump, and attach a Refrigerant Service Cylinder to the Low­side 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) Open the Low-side Valve. Do not invert the Service Cylinder. A liquid charge will
damage the Compressor.

7) Turn on the icemaker when charging speed gets slow. Turn off the icemaker when
the Low-side Gauge shows approximately 0 PSIG. Do not run the icemaker at
negative pressures. Close the Low-side Valve when the Service Cylinder gets
empty.

8) Repeat the above steps 4) through 7), if necessary, until the required amount of
refrigerant has entered the system.

9) Close the two Refrigerant Access Valves, and disconnect the Hoses and Service
Manifold.

10) Cap the Access Valves to prevent a possible leak.

33

2. BRAZING
WARNING

1. Refrigerant R22 itself is not flammable, explosive or poisonous. How­ever, when exposed to an open flame, R22 creates Phosgene gas,
hazardous in large amounts.

4. MAINTENANCE

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

• Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (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.

IMPORTANT

• 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. Check the filter at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and
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.
