B. 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
1, 4, 3, 2.
1. One Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on. WV opens and the fill 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 water pump.
2. Initial Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV remains open, Comp and FMR energize, 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 kΩsignal 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 (dip switch 1 & 2). The water valve
is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is
shorter. 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.
3. Freeze Cycle
LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR continue to run, PM and FMS energize, LLV opens, HGV
and WV close and the freeze cycle starts. For the first 5 minutes the control board will not
accept a signal from F/S. This 5 minute minimum freeze acts as a short cycle protection. At
the end of 5 minutes, F/S assumes control. As ice builds on the evaporator the water level
in the sump lowers. The freeze continues until F/S opens and terminates ice production.
4. Pump-Out Cycle
LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. Comp and FMR continue to run, HGV opens, LLV closes, and
FMS deenergizes. PM stops for 2 seconds and reverses, taking water from the bottom of
the sump and forcing pressure against the check valve seat allowing water to go through
the check valve and down the drain. At the same time water flows through the small tube
to power flush the F/S. When the pump-out timer stops counting, the pump out is complete.
Pump out always occurs on the 2nd harvest after startup. Then, depending on the control
board setting, pump out occurs every cycle, or every 2nd, 5th or 10th cycle (dip switch 5 &
6).
5. Normal Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. Comp and FMR continue 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 kΩsignal and starts the harvest timer. The water valve
is open during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is
shorter. When the harvest timer completes its count down, the harvest cycle is complete
and the next freeze cycle starts. The unit continues to cycle through 3, 4 and 5 sequence
until the bin control senses ice and shuts the unit down.

C. Control Board
•A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in KM-1340MAH,
KM-1340MWH and KM-1340MRH Modular 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 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 and float switch. K4 is
not connected.
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
Inlet water valve opening, in the harvest cycle, is limited by the harvest timer. The water
valve cannot remain open longer than the maximum period. The water valve can close in
less than six minutes if the harvest cycle is completed.
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 dip switches 9 &
10.
The 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 ± 7°F (53 ± 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 reset button
on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.
d) Low Water Safety
If the pump motor is operated without water, the mechanical seal can fail. To prevent this
type of failure, the control 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 harvest cycle.
If the float switch is in the up position (electrical circuit closed), the control board changes
to the ice making cycle. If the float switch is in the down position (electrical circuit open),
the control board changes to additional one minute water fill cycles until water enters the
sump and the float switch closes. When the float switch closes, the control board changes
to the ice making cycle. The unit will not start without adequate water in the sump. This
serves as a low water safety to protect the pump motor from mechanical seal failure.
For water-cooled model, if the water 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
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 insufficient 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.

18
f) 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 OFF.
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,
2. For more information, see "II.B. Sequence of Operation."

3. Controls and Adjustments
a) Default Dip Switch Settings
The dip switch is factory-adjusted to the following positions:
Dip Switch No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
KM-1340MAH OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF
KM-1340MWH OFF OFF ON OFF ON ON OFF OFF OFF ON

Freeze Timer (9 & 10)
Pump-Out Frequency Control (5 & 6)
Pump-Out Timer (3 & 4)
Harvest Timer (1 & 2)
Normally in the OFF position.
b) 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
10 -12 10.613
32 0 6.000
50 10 3.871
70 21 2.474
90 32 1.633
Check a thermistor for resistance by using the following procedure:
1) Disconnect the connector K3 on the board.
2) Remove the thermistor. See "V.K. Removal and Replacement of Thermistor."
3) Immerse the thermistor sensor portion in a glass containing ice and water for 2 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.

c) Harvest Timer (dip switch 1 & 2)
The harvest timer starts counting when the thermistor reads 48°F (9°C) at the
evaporator outlet.
No adjustment is required under normal use, as the harvest timer is adjusted to the
suitable position. However, a setting longer than the factory setting may be advised in
cases where the flush provided at harvest needs to be prolonged for extra cleaning.
Before changing this setting, call the HOSHIZAKI Technical Support Department at
1-800-233-1940 for recommendations. Keep in mind that setting the harvest timer to a
longer setting will decrease 24 hour production.

d) Pump-Out Timer (dip switch 3 & 4)
When a freeze cycle is completed, the pump motor stops, and the icemaker resumes
operation in 2 seconds. Then, during cycles when a pump out is called for, the pump
motor drains the water tank for the time determined by the pump-out timer. The pump-
out timer also acts in place of the harvest timer during cycles with a pump out.
The pump-out timer is factory-adjusted, and no adjustment is required.

T1: Time to drain the water tank
T2: Harvest timer at pump out
Pump out always occurs on the 2nd harvest after startup. Then, depending on the pump-
out frequency control setting (dip switch 5 & 6), pump out occurs every cycle, or every
2nd, 5th or 10th cycle.
