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). A 5-second delay occurs at startup. Note that the order of the green sequence LEDs from the outer edge of the board is 1, 4, 3, .
1. One Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on. FWV opens and the ll period begins. After 1 minute, the board checks for a closed LF/S. If LF/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If not, FWV will remain energized through additional 1 minute cycles until water enters the sump and LF/S closes. This serves as a low water safety to protect the water pump.
2. Initial Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4 and  are on. Comp, FMR, HGVs, HWV and X1 relay energize, FWV closes. The control board monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), the control board reads a
3.9 kΩ signal from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the adjustable harvest timer which is factory set for normal conditions. The timer has settings of 60, 90, 10, and 180 seconds (S4 dip switch 1 & ). 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  minutes. HWV is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 50 seconds, whichever is shorter. LED 4 goes off when HWV closes. PM energizes and runs for the last 50 seconds of harvest. LED 3 comes on when PM energizes. At the end of harvest, the control board checks the position of LF/S and proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute ll if it is open.
3. Freeze Cycle
LED 1 is on. Comp, FMR and PM continue to run, LLVs open, HGVs close. For the rst 5 minutes, the control board will not terminate the freeze cycle. As ice builds and LF/S opens, FWV opens (LED 4 is on when FWV is open). The rell will last until U/FS closes or for 60 seconds, whichever is shorter. After UF/S closes, FWV closes 3 seconds later. The KMS-1400MLH rells 1 time. After the rell, the freeze continues until LF/S opens again. The freeze cycle is then terminated, provided the 5 minute freeze timer has expired.
4. Pump-Out Cycle
The 1st pump out occurs after the 11th freeze cycle and every 10th cycle thereafter. LEDs 1, 3, and  are on. Comp and FMR continue to run, DWV opens, HGVs open, LLVs close. PM stops for  seconds. PM restarts, pumping water from the water tank through the DWV and down the drain. At the same time, water ows through the vent tube to power ush the F/S. After 10 seconds, the pump out is complete. 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. See "II.C.3.d) Pump-Out Frequency Control."
1
Page 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 kΩ signal and starts the harvest timer. When the harvest timer completes its count down, the harvest cycle is complete. The minimum total time allowed by the board for a complete harvest cycle is  minutes. HWV is energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 50 seconds, whichever is shorter. LED 4 goes off when HWV closes. PM energizes and runs for the last 50 seconds of harvest. LED 3 comes on when PM energizes. At the end of harvest, the control board checks the position of LF/S and proceeds to the freeze cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1-minute ll if it is open. The unit continues to cycle through freeze and harvest cycles until the bin control activates (opens) and shuts the unit down.
Note: To prevent incomplete batches of ice from forming on the evaporator, the control
board will only shut down the machine within the rst 5 minutes of the freeze cycle. If ice pushes the bin control actuator in (open) after the rst ve minutes of the freeze cycle, the control board will allow the machine to complete the freeze cycle and the following harvest cycle before shutting down the machine.

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. 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, mechanical bin control and oat switch.
5. Always replace the whole board assembly if it goes bad.
6. Do not short out power supply to test for voltage.

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.
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 0 minutes to complete. The control board will signal this problem using  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 specied to complete. The control board will signal this problem using 3 beeps every 3 seconds. The time is factory set using S4 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 17 ± 7°F (53 ± 4°C), the control board reads a .804 k 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.
Ω signal from the thermistor and operates the safety. This shuts down the circuit
d) Low Water Safety
The control board checks the position of the lower oat switch at the end of the initial one minute water ll cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle. If the lower oat switch is closed, the control board proceeds to the next cycle. If the lower oat switch is open, the control board calls for a one minute water ll cycle. After one minute, the control board checks the position of the oat and either proceeds to the next cycle if the lower oat switch is closed or calls for an additional one minute ll if the switch is open. This serves as a low water safety to protect the water pump.
e) High Voltage and Low Voltage Cut-outs
High voltage and low voltage cut-outs help protect the icemaker from supply voltages outside of the accepted range. If miswiring causes excessive voltage (147Vac ±5% or more for 3 seconds) on the control board, the high voltage cut-out shuts down the circuit 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 insufcient voltage (9Vac ±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.
17
Page 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. A beep occurs when the control switch is moved to the "ICE" position. The green LEDs 1 through 4 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 1, 4, 3, .

4. Control Board Check Procedure
Before replacing a control board that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, always conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis.
1) Check the S4 and S5 dip switch settings to assure that they are in the factory default positions.
) Turn the control switch to "ICE" and check for proper control voltage. If the red LED
is on, the control voltage is good. If the red LED is off, check the control transformer circuit.
3) Check the 115 volt input at the wire harness terminals and the 10-pin connector. Check the brown and white wire at pin #10 to a white neutral wire for 115 volts. (Always choose a white neutral wire to establish a good neutral connection when checking voltages.) On the 10 pin connector, a jumper also feeds 115 volts into pin #7. If no voltage is present, check the 115 volt supply circuit.
4) The output test button provides a relay sequence test. Make sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position, then press the output test button. The correct lighting sequence should be 1, 4, 3, . Some components (e.g., the compressor) will cycle during the test. Note that the order of the relays from the outer edge of the board is 1, 4, 3, . After checking the sequence, the unit automatically starts at the 1 minute ll cycle. If the LEDs light in a different sequence, the control board is bad and should be replaced.
1
Page 22
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. The resistance varies depending on the suction line temperatures. The thermistor detects the temperature of the evaporator outlet to start the harvest 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) Temperature (°C) Resistance (kΩ)
0 -18 14.401

3 0 6.000
50 10 3.871
70 1 .474
90 3 1.633
Check a thermistor for resistance by using the following procedure:
1) Disconnect the connector K3 on the board.
) Remove the thermistor. See "V.C.6. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor."
3) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for  or 3 minutes.
4) Check for a resistance between thermistor leads. Normal reading is within 3.5 to 7 kΩ. Replace the thermistor if it exceeds the normal reading.

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 rell and terminating the freeze cycle. The upper switch (black and red wires) is used to terminate the freeze cycle rell only. Rell will last until the upper oat switch closes or the 1 minute countdown timer ends, whichever comes rst.
2. Cleaning
Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the oat, oat switch shaft and inside the housing. Scale on the oat or shaft can cause the oat to stick causing erratic operation. The oat switch should be cleaned and checked before replacing. First, disconnect the black K5 oat switch connector from the control board and remove the oat switch and rubber boot from the icemaker. Remove the rubber boot from the oat switch. Twist the mechanical lock at the top of the oat housing and lower out the oat and oat shaft. Remove the retainer clip from the shaft and slide the oat off the shaft. Soak the switch assembly in ice machine cleaner. Wipe down the shaft, oat, housing, and rubber boot with cleaning solution. See "VI. Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions."
3. Float Switch Check Procedure
Before replacing a oat switch that you suspect is bad, make sure the oat switch has been cleaned. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. The oat switch has three wires. The black wire is common. The blue wire is for the lower oat switch contact and the red wire is for the upper oat switch contact.
1) Disconnect the black K5 oat switch connector from the control board.
) Drain the reservoir water.
3) Turn the control switch to "ICE".
4) As water lls the reservoir, the oat switch contacts should close. Check continuity of the lower oat switch contacts using the black and blue wires and the upper oat switch contacts using the black and red wires. With the oat positioned all the way up, both oat switch contacts should be closed. If either oat switch contact fails, the assembly should be replaced.
5) Turn the control switch to "OFF".
6) Drain the reservoir water.
7) As water drains, the oat switch contacts should open. Check continuity of the upper oat switch contacts using the black and red wires and the lower oat switch contacts using the black and blue wires. With the oat positioned all the way down, both oat switch contacts should be open. If either oat switch contact fails, the assembly should be replaced.
8) Reconnect the black K5 connector to the control board when nished.

F. Bin Control
This machine uses a lever-actuated proximity switch (mechanical bin control) to control the ice level in the storage bin. No adjustment is required.
1. Explanation of Operation
The bin control is connected to the red K4 connector on the control board. When the bin control is calling for ice (proximity switch closed; green LED, BC CLOSED, on), the control board continues icemaking operations. When the bin control is activated in the bin full position (proximity switch open; yellow LED, BC OPEN, on), the control board shuts down the unit. However, to prevent incomplete batches of ice from forming on the evaporator, the control board will only shut down the machine within the rst 5 minutes of the freeze cycle. If ice pushes the lever in after the rst ve minutes of the freeze cycle, the control board will allow the machine to complete the freeze cycle and the following harvest cycle before shutting down the machine.
2. Bin Control Check Procedure
1) Clear any ice away from the bin control.
) Turn the control switch to "ICE".
3) Check that the green "BC CLOSED" LED on the control board is on.
4) Activate the bin control actuator (press the actuator in). Check that the yellow "BC OPEN" LED on the control board is on.
5) Disconnect the red K4 bin control connector from the control board.
6) Check for continuity across the bin control leads. When calling for ice, the bin control proximity switch should be closed. If open, replace the bin control. Activate the bin control actuator (press the actuator in), check for continuity across the bin control leads. The bin control proximity switch should be open. If closed, replace the bin control.
7) Reconnect the red K4 connector. Allow the machine to cycle into the freeze cycle. In the rst 5 minutes of the freeze cycle, activate the bin control actuator (press the actuator in). The yellow "BC OPEN" LED should come on and the machine should turn off. If not, replace the control board.

G. Switches
Two control switches are used to control operation in KMS Series Modular Crescent Cubers. These switches are referred to as the "control switch" and the "service switch" and are located on the control box.
1. Control Switch
The control switch has three positions: "OFF" for power off; "ICE" for icemaking, and "SERVICE" to activate the service switch.
2. Service Switch
When the control switch is 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." and "WASH." See the information below for details of each function.
Note:
1. When the service switch is activated, power is supplied to the water pump in all three positions.
. When the control switch is in the "OFF" position or in the "ICE" position, the
service switch has no power and can be left in any position.
a) DRAIN
The KMS series utilizes a pump-out drain system. When the service switch is active and placed in the "DRAIN" position, power is supplied to the pump and drain valve.
b) CIRC.
When the service switch is active and placed in the "CIRC." 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.
c) WASH
The KMS series utilizes a solenoid operated wash (bypass) valve. When the service switch is active and placed in the "WASH" position, power is supplied to the pump and wash valve. This operation is used to circulate cleaner and sanitizer over both the inside and outside of the evaporator.

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. Using this check out procedure will allow you to diagnose electrical system and component failures in approximately 10 minutes under normal operating conditions of 70°F (1°C) or warmer air and 50°F (10°C) or warmer water temperatures. Before conducting a 10 minute checkout, check for correct installation, proper voltage per unit nameplate and adequate water supply. As you go through the procedure, check to assure the components energize and de-energize correctly. If not, those components and controls are suspect.
1) Turn power off and access the icemaker's control box. Clear any ice from the bin control actuator located in the bin.
) Turn power on and place the control switch in the "ICE" position. A 5 second delay
occurs. The red "POWER OK" LED and the green "BC CLOSED" LED on the control board come on.
3) One Minute Fill Cycle – LED 4 is on. The ll water valve is energized. After 1 minute, the control board checks for a closed lower oat switch. If the lower oat switch is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If closed, continue to step 4. If the lower oat switch is open, the ll water valve will remain energized through additional 1 minute ll cycles until water enters the sump and the lower oat switch closes (low water safety protection during initial start up and at the end of each harvest). Diagnosis: If the ll water valve does not open, check for no supply voltage at water valve terminals, bad coil, or plugged screen or external lter (no water ow). If the reservoir lls, but the unit fails to start harvest, check for open lower oat switch (see "II.F.3. Float Switch Check Procedure") or bad 1 minute timer in control board. See "II.C.4. Control Board Check Procedure."
4) Initial Harvest Cycle – LEDs 1, 4 and  are on. The contactor coil energizes to start the compressor and fan motors, the hot gas valves energize (also energizing the X1 relay), the harvest water valve energizes and the ll water valve de-energizes. The harvest water valve is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest minus 50 seconds, whichever is shorter. The pump motor energizes and runs for the last 50 seconds of harvest.
The evaporator warms and the thermistor senses 48°F (9°C). The control board then
receives the thermistor's 3.9 kΩ signal and turns operation of harvest over to the harvest countdown timer. The last 50 seconds of the harvest countdown timer, the harvest water valve de-energizes and the water pump energizes, (LED 4 goes off and LED 3 comes on). When the harvest countdown timer completes, the freeze cycle starts. Diagnosis: Check if evaporator is warming up, compressor and fan motors are on, hot gas valves are open, harvest water valve open. If these are okay, next check for at least 48°F (9°C) on the suction line. If the evaporator is cool, check for inlet water too cold or liquid line valves stuck open. If the suction line is at least 48°F (9°C), disconnect the thermistor at the white K3 connector on the control board and check for resistance of 3.9 kΩ or less. If different, see "II.D. Harvest Control – Thermistor," for check procedure. Replace if necessary. If resistance is 3.9 kΩ or less, reconnect the thermistor to the white K3 connector on the control board. If harvest does not terminate within 3 minutes, replace the control board.
33
Page 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 rell, the second is for freeze termination. After the second lower oat switch activation, the control board terminates freeze and initiates harvest. Every 10th cycle, the control board initiates a 10 second pump-out cycle between the freeze and harvest cycles. See "II.C.3.d) Pump-Out Frequency Control."
a. Lower Float Switch 1st Activation: Rell – LEDs 1 and 4 are on. The rell can occur
at any time during the freeze cycle (1 rell per cycle). As ice builds the water level drops in the reservoir and the lower oat switch activates (opens). LED 4 comes on and the control board energizes the ll water valve. The ll water valve remains energized until the upper oat switch closes or the 1 minute ll timer terminates, whichever comes rst.
b. Lower Float Switch 2nd Activation: LED 1 is on. The unit is held in freeze by a
5 minute short cycle protection timer. After the 1st lower oat switch activation and rell, ice continues to form and the water level drops in the reservoir. When the lower oat switch activates (opens) a second time, the freeze cycle terminates (freeze can only be terminated on the second activation of the lower oat switch and after 5 minutes of freeze). Diagnosis: Minimum freeze time is 5 minutes. During the rst 5 minutes of freeze, conrm that the evaporator temperature drops, compressor, fan motors, pump motor, and liquid line valves are energized and that the hot gas valves, harvest water valve and ll water valve (except during rell) are de-energized and not bypassing. Make sure the expansion valves are operating properly and, in cold conditions, make sure the headmaster (C.P. Regulator) is operating correctly. Make sure that the drain water valve is not leaking by (water owing down the potable drain). Check for proper unit pressures (see "III.C. Performance Data"), or an inoperative compressor. Disconnect the black K5 oat switch connector from the control board. 15 seconds after disconnecting the black K5 oat switch connector, LED 4 comes on and rell begins. Connect the black K5 oat switch connector back on the control board. When the rell is nished (LED 4 goes off), disconnect the black K5 oat switch connector again. If 5 or more minutes have elapsed in the freeze cycle, the unit should switch out of the freeze cycle. After the unit switches out of freeze, reconnect the black K5 oat switch connector to the control board. If the unit remains in freeze with the oat switch disconnected, replace the board. To check the oat switch, see "II.F.3. Float Switch Check Procedure."
Note: Normal freeze cycle will last 30 to 35 minutes depending on model and
conditions. Cycle times and pressures should follow performance data provided in this manual.
34
Page 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. The pump motor stops for  seconds then restarts for 10 seconds (pump out frequency can be adjusted on S4 dip switches 5 and 6). This pump out removes contaminants from the water reservoir through the drain water valve and allows for a power ush of the oat switch. Diagnosis: If the pump motor does not come on, check the circuit and capacitor. If water does not pump out, remove the drain water valve housing and check/clean the valve assembly, check for voltage on the drain valve coil with LED 3 on, make sure that the drain line is not clogged.
7) Normal Harvest Cycle – Same as the initial harvest cycle. Return to step 4. Note: Unit continues to cycle until bin control is satised or power is switched off. The
unit always restarts at the 1 minute ll cycle.

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.
3. 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.
4. Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or servicing parts.
A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
WARNING
Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
IMPORTANT
1. The condensing unit is provided with two shutoff valves, one on the low-side, one on the high-side and also with an access valve on the receiver tank. The icemaker unit is provided with two service valves, one on the low-side and one on the high-side.
. For refrigerant recovery, evacuation and recharge of the system, always use
the access valve on the receiver tank for the high-side and either the shutoff valve of the condensing unit or the service valve of the icemaker unit for the low-side line.
1. Refrigerant Recovery
Using proper refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
41
Page 42
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. However, when
exposed to high temperatures (open ames), R-404A can be decomposed to form hydrouoric acid and carbonyl uoride 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. Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
1) 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. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant ow.
) Braze all ttings while purging with nitrogen gas owing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
Note: Because the pipes in the evaporator case are specially coated to resist corrosion,
it is important to make connections outside the evaporator case when possible. If it is necessary to braze inside the evaporator case, use sandpaper to remove the coating from the brazing connections before unbrazing the components.
3) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
3. Evacuation and Recharge (R-404A)
1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect the charging hoses to both high and low-side lines.
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.
) Turn on the vacuum pump. Open the system service valves and service manifold
valves. Never allow the oil in the vacuum pump to ow backwards.
3) Allow the vacuum pump to pull down to a 9.9" Hg vacuum. Evacuating period depends on pump capacity.
4) Close the low-side valve and high-side valve on the service manifold.
4
Page 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. 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 and place it on scales. Open the high-side valve on the service manifold.
7) Allow the system to charge with liquid until the proper charge weight is met.
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 service manifold valves, the two refrigerant access valves and disconnect the service manifold hoses.
10) Cap the access valves to prevent a possible leak.
B. Condensing Unit
1. 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. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant ow.
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.
) Remove the panels.
