Harvest Backup Timer and Freeze Timer

[b] 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 0, 10, 30, or 50 seconds (adjustable by S dip switch 7 & 8), 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 S1 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 53°C ± 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 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 in the up position (electrical circuit closed), the control board changes to the next cycle. If the lower 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 next cycle. The unit will not start without adequate water in the sump. This serves as a low water safety to protect the water pump.

For water-cooled model, if the condenser water supply 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 3 phase wire models) causes excessive voltage (147 Vac ± 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.

KMD-410MWH, KMD-410MAH specifications

The Hoshizaki KMD-410MWH and KMD-410MAH are premier ice makers, designed for commercial establishments that require high-efficiency ice production. These units stand out for their advanced features and technology that cater to the diverse needs of restaurants, bars, and hotels.

One of the primary features of the KMD-410 lineup is its impressive ice production capacity. With a production rate of up to 410 pounds of cube ice in a 24-hour period, each model ensures a steady supply of ice, which is essential for businesses with high demand. The ice produced is in the form of clear, hard cubes, ideal for beverage cooling, cocktail preparation, and food presentation.

Both models showcase the unique Hoshizaki ice-making system, which employs a direct cooling method. This technology uses individual stainless steel evaporators to produce ice, resulting in more uniform cubes and less waste. The stainless steel construction contributes to the durability of the units, making them suitable for rugged commercial environments.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the KMD-410MWH and KMD-410MAH. These machines are designed with an energy-saving mode that reduces power consumption without compromising ice production. This is critical for businesses looking to minimize operational costs while maintaining high standards of service.

User convenience is prioritized in these models through features like the easy-to-clean design. The internal components can be accessed quickly, allowing for simpler maintenance and sanitation processes. Additionally, the built-in cleaning cycle aids in maintaining ice purity and preventing bacterial growth, which is essential for food safety.

The KMD-410MAH also includes an advanced monitoring system with indicators for water usage and ice levels. This feature allows operators to keep track of performance and make necessary adjustments, ensuring that the ice maker operates at peak efficiency.

For installation flexibility, both models can be paired with various storage bins and dispensers, adapting to the layout of any establishment. Furthermore, they can be equipped with optional filtration systems that enhance water quality, further improving the taste and clarity of the ice produced.

In summary, the Hoshizaki KMD-410MWH and KMD-410MAH ice makers are exemplary choices for any business that demands high-quality, reliable ice production. Their robust features, energy-efficient operation, and user-friendly design make them indispensable assets in the hospitality and foodservice industries.
