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, 2.
1. One Minute Fill Cycle
LED 4 is on. FWV opens and the fill 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 2 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 kΩsignal 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, 120, and 180 seconds (S4 dip switch 1 & 2). 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. 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 fill if it is open.
3. Freeze Cycle
LED 1 is on. Comp, FMR and PM continue to run, LLVs open, HGVs close. For the first
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 refill will last until U/FS closes
or for 60 seconds, whichever is shorter. After UF/S closes, FWV closes 3 seconds later.
The KMS-1230MLH refills 1 time. After the refill, 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 2 are on. Comp and FMR continue to run, DWV opens, HGVs open,
LLVs close. PM stops for 2 seconds. PM restarts, pumping water from the water tank
through the DWV and down the drain. At the same time, water flows through the vent
tube to power flush 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."

12
5. Normal Harvest Cycle
LEDs 1, 4 and 2 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 kΩsignal 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 2 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 fill 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 first 5 minutes of the freeze
cycle. If ice pushes the bin control actuator in (open) after the first five 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.

Components Energized when the Control Switch is in the SERVICE Position When 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.
DRAIN Power is supplied to the pump and drain valve. This drains the water tank. CIRC. Power is supplied to the pump only. This operation can be used to circulate cleaner and
sanitizer for extended periods of time over the outside surface of the evaporator.
WASH Power is supplied to the pump and wash valve. This operation is used to circulate cleaner
and sanitizer over both the inside and outside surfaces of the evaporator.

C. Control Board
• A HOSHIZAKI exclusive solid-state control is employed in the KMS-1230MLH Modular
Crescent Cuber.
• 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, mechanical bin
control and float 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 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 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 127 ± 7°F (53 ± 4°C), the control board reads a
.804 kΩsignal from the thermistor and 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 alarm reset
button on the control board must be pressed with power on to reset the safety.
d) Low Water Safety
The control board checks the position of the lower float switch at the end of the initial one
minute water fill cycle and at the end of each harvest cycle. If the lower float switch is
closed, the control board proceeds to the next cycle. If the lower float switch is open, the
control board calls for a one minute water fill cycle. After one minute, the control board
checks the position of the float and either proceeds to the next cycle if the lower float
switch is closed or calls for an additional one minute fill 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 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.

17
f) LED Lights and Audible Alarm Safeties
The red LED indicates control voltage (10 to 12V at K2) 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, 2.

3. Controls and Adjustments
a) Default Dip Switch Settings
The dip switches are factory-adjusted to the following positions:
S4 Dip Switch
Dip Switch No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
KMS-1230MLH ON OFF OFF ON ON ON ON OFF OFF ON
S5 Dip Switch (Do Not Adjust)
Dip Switch No. 1 2 3 4 5
KMS-1230MLH OFF ON OFF OFF OFF
b) Harvest Timer (S4 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. 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.

c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4)
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
Depending on the pump-out frequency control setting (dip switch 5 & 6), pump out
occurs every cycle, or every 2nd, 5th or 10th cycle.
d) Pump-Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6)
The pump motor drains the water tank at the frequency set by the pump-out frequency
control.
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 as
shown in the table below.

f) Freeze Timer (S4 dip switch 9 & 10)
CAUTION
Adjust to proper specification, or the unit may not operate correctly.
The freeze timer setting determines the maximum allowed freeze time to prevent
possible freeze-up issues. Upon termination of freeze timer, the control board initiates
the harvest cycle. After 2 consecutive timer terminations, the control board shuts the
machine down. In this case, see "IV.B.3. Low Ice Production" for possible solutions.
The freeze timer is factory adjusted and no adjustment is required.

g) Float Switch Control and Refill Counter (S5 dip switch 1 through 5)
Do not adjust. These must be left in the factory default position or the unit will not operate
properly. The KMS-1230MLH refills 1 time.
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.
2) 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, 2. 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, 2. After
checking the sequence, the unit automatically starts at the 1 minute fill cycle. If the
LEDs light in a different sequence, the control board is bad and should be replaced.
