is included in the motor windings. Both will work in con-
junction with the protect relay to shut the unit down.
4. Voltage protect relay: This relay will shut the unit off in
case of a voltage surge and automatically restart the unit
when the voltage is correct.
5. High pressure switch: All Hoshizaki ice machines in-
clude an automatic reset high pressure safety switch to
shut down the unit in case of high head pressures.
6. Fuse protection: A lamp buss-type fuse is utilized in the
control circuit. Smaller units like the DCM-240 and F-300
have a fuse in the incoming power circuit.
7. Short cycle protection timer: A 1 minute time delay is
included in the start-up sequence to protect against short
cycling the gear motor or compressor.
8. Compressor protection is provided either internally or by
means of an external motor circuit protector. This is an
automatic reset thermal type circuit breaker.
9. The F-2000 has a spout safety control to shut down the
unit if the bin control fails for any reason. This is a manual
reset safety and will notify the technician by means of a
indicator light on the control box. To reset this safety, turn
the control switch OFF and back ON. This re-sets the hold-
ing relay circuit and turns off the light.
The gear motor current protector serves as a back-up for
the bin control on other models. These safety’s protect the
Flaker or DCM models from internal failures.
DUAL FLOAT SWITCH
Hoshizaki float switch, part number 435490-01 can be used
as a universal replacement on any Hoshizaki Flaker or DCM
model in the field. It now subs for all previous float switch
numbers in our parts system.
Since the float switch is mounted into the water reservoir,
it is susceptible to scale build-up. The amount of scale
build-up will depend on the local water quality. Scale on
