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 NUMBERTYPE
2U0127-01MY9KM910 (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.

[d] CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS (Alpine/Alpine “C” Board)
The Dip Switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions:
DIP SWITCH NO.12345678
KML-200MAE,
KML-200MWE
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.
OFFOFFOFFONONONOFFOFF
OFFONOFFONONONOFFOFF
Switch Nos. 7 and 8:
Used only for checking the Controller Board.
Usually set in OFF position.

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 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.
