E. Sequence of Operation
Hoshizaki utilizes a solid state timer board to switch the components on and off as needed. The sequence is as follows:
1. Startup
Flush switch in "ICE" position, power switch in "ON" position. FR energizes.
2. Fill Cycle
WV opens and the reservoir fills with water until UF/S closes. Note: GM will not start unless UF/S is closed. For details, see "IV. Service Diagnosis".
3. Ice Purge Cycle (60 seconds)
WCR energizes, closing the low water safety circuit and
Note: Low water safety circuit is terminals 3 and 4 on TB.
4. Freeze Cycle (Ice Making Process)
CR energizes (black relay located on TB). Comp and FMS energize. As the water in the evaporator cools, ice starts forming within 4 to 6 minutes. This time frame depends on the inlet water and ambient temperature conditions.
UF/S and LF/S operate WV as needed to continue the ice making process. This continues until BC shuts the ice maker down or power is turned off to the unit.
5. Shutdown:
BC activates (opens). FR

F. Ice Production Check
To check production, prepare a bucket or pan to catch the ice and a set of scales to weigh the ice. After the unit has operated for 10 to 20 minutes, catch the ice production for 10 minutes. Weigh the ice to establish the batch weight. Multiply the batch weight by 144 for the total production in 24 hours.
