b) KM-1601SWH/3 and KM-1601SRH/3 "E" Control Board

IMPORTANT

KM-1601SWH/3 and KM-1601SRH/3 utilize an "E" control board and TBC.

The steps in the sequence are as outlined below. When power is supplied, CB red "POWER OK" LED turns on. There is a 5‑second delay before startup. Note that the order of the component LEDs from the outer edge of CB is 1, 4, 3, 2.

(1) 1-Minute Fill Cycle

LED 4 is on. WV energizes and the 1-minute fill cycle begins. After 1 minute, CB checks for a closed F/S. If F/S is closed, the harvest cycle begins. If open, WV remains energized through additional 1-minute fill cycles until water fills the water tank and closes F/S. This serves as a low water safety to protect PM.

(2) Initial Harvest Cycle

LEDs 1, 4, and 2 are on. WV remains energized, Comp, FMR, HGV energize. CB monitors the warming of the evaporator via the thermistor located on the suction line. When the thermistor reaches 48°F (9°C), CB reads a 3.9 kΩ signal from the thermistor and turns harvest termination over to the harvest timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2). The harvest timer has settings of 60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds. For details, see "II.C.3.b) Harvest Timer (S4 dip switch 1 & 2)." WV is energized during harvest for a maximum of 6 minutes or the length of harvest, whichever is shorter. LED 4 turns off when WV de‑energizes. When the harvest timer terminates, the harvest cycle is complete. CB checks the position of F/S and proceeds to the next cycle if it is closed or calls for a 1‑minute fill cycle if it is open. The minimum total time allowed by CB for a complete harvest cycle is 2 minutes.

(3) Freeze Cycle

LED 1 is on. Comp and FMR remain energized, PM and LLV energize, HGV and WV de-energize. The unit is held in freeze by a 5-minute short cycle protection timer (CB will not accept a signal from F/S during the first 5 minutes of freeze). After the 5-minute short cycle protection timer terminates, CB turns freeze termination over to F/S. As ice builds on the evaporator, the water level in the water tank lowers. The freeze cycle continues until F/S opens and terminates the cycle.

(4) Pump-Out Cycle

LEDs 1, 3, and 2 are on. LED 4 is on when S4 dip switch 3 & 4 are set to 3 off and

4 on. For details, see "II.C.3.c) Pump-Out Timer (S4 dip switch 3 & 4)." Comp and FMR remain energized. HGV energizes. WV energizes if S4 dip switch 3 off and 4 on. LLV de‑energizes. PM stops for 2 seconds then reverses, taking water from the bottom of the water tank and forcing pressure against the pump-out check valve seat allowing water to go through the pump-out check valve and down the drain. At the same time, water flows through the small tube to power flush F/S. When the pump-out timer terminates, the pump-out is complete.

The first pump‑out occurs after the 1st freeze cycle, then every 10th cycle thereafter. The pump-out frequency is factory set, and generally 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. The pump-out frequency control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6) can be set to have a pump-out occur every cycle, or every 2, 5, or 10 cycles. For details, see "II.C.3.d) Pump‑Out Frequency Control (S4 dip switch 5 & 6)."

KM-1601SWH/3, KM-1601SRH/3, KM-1601SAH/3 specifications

Hoshizaki has long been a trusted name in the world of commercial refrigeration and ice-making equipment. Among its offerings, the KM-1601SAH/3, KM-1601SRH/3, and KM-1601SWH/3 models stand out for their innovative features and robust design. These machines are integral for businesses that require reliable and efficient ice production, such as restaurants, hotels, and convenience stores.

At the core of these models is Hoshizaki's renowned Crescent Cube Technology, which produces clear, crescent-shaped ice that is ideal for both beverage service and food presentation. The unique shape of the ice ensures reduced melting rates, helping to maintain beverage temperature for longer periods while minimizing dilution. Additionally, the crescent ice is less prone to clumping, making it easier to dispense and ideal for high-volume use.

One of the key features of the KM-1601 series is its exceptional ice production capacity. Each model can produce up to 1,600 pounds of ice in a 24-hour cycle, making them suitable for heavy-demand environments. The machines are constructed with a durable stainless steel exterior, providing not only a sleek look but also enhanced resistance to corrosion and easy maintenance.

The KM-1601SAH/3 is designed with a built-in ice storage bin, allowing for seamless integration into various setups. Its state-of-the-art refrigeration system ensures optimal energy efficiency, which is crucial for businesses looking to manage operational costs. The KM-1601SRH/3 includes a self-contained design, simplifying installation and reducing the need for external ice storage solutions.

For users concerned with hygiene, these models boast advanced sanitation features. Hoshizaki's Antimicrobial Agent is incorporated into key components to inhibit the growth of bacteria and slime, ensuring cleaner ice production. The machines also feature easy-to-access panels for quick cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime.

Another significant characteristic is their user-friendly controls, which simplify operation and monitoring of ice production. The built-in monitoring system alerts users to any potential issues, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimal disruption to service.

The KM-1601SWH/3 model further enhances the lineup with its energy-efficient design, lightweight construction, and compact footprint, making it perfect for establishments with limited space.
