Preliminary Information
About the Control
This control is an advanced, programmable computer that allows
the owner to control most machine features by pressing a se-
quence of keypads. Refer to Figure 2 .
The control allows the owner to program custom cycles, set vend
prices, retrieve audit information, run diagnostic tests, program
special vend features and other programmable features. Refer to
Programming the Control for a list of features. Machines shipped
from the factory have a default cycle and wash temperature set-
ting built in, however, the owner can change the default cycle, or
any cycle, as needs permit.
The default cycle is Normal Cold.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power failure, the control
will not have to be reprogrammed. It is designed with a
memory system that will remember how it was pro-
grammed until the electrical power is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the machine
has a good ground connection and that all mechanical
and electrical connections to the control are made be-
fore applying power to or operating the machine.
Glossary of Terms
The following are a few terms and abbreviations to learn. These
are referred to throughout the instructions.
Display – This term refers to the window area of the control that
displays words and values.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) – This term refers to the lights next
to the keypads and status words of the control.
IrDA – Infra-red External Device
FEC – Front End Control
I/O Board – Input/Output Board
OPL – On Premises Laundry
Communications
The control may be programmed manually, by infra-red commu-
nication with an external device or by the network. A limited
number of features can be programmed by a card reader.
Serial Card Reader Communications (Card Models
Only)
The control will accept communication with a serial card reader
in order to perform vending transactions when a card is inserted
to pay for cycles. The card reader can also allow the owner to
program a limited number of features and collect audit informa-
tion.
For detailed information on serial card reader communications,
refer to instructions included with card reader.
Infra-red Communications
If enabled (refer to IR Access Enable irA En) an external device,
such as a PDA, allows the owner to program and retrieve infor-
mation from the control as well as start and stop various diagnos-
tic tests without using the keypad. An external device greatly ex-
pands the programming options available to the owner.
An external device is not required to program and operate the
machine. The operation of an external device and the advanced
features available are covered separately in the instructions in-
cluded with the external device software. Contact Alliance Laun-
dry Systems for a list of approved PDAs and other external devi-
ces.
How to Begin Communications with an External
Device
The control will switch the display to show -C- until the com-
munication is complete. If an error occurs that terminates com-
munication, the display will show EIXX (XX represents the error
code).
NOTE: The Infra-red Communications option must be
turned on.
Network Communications
The control will also accept communication with a network inter-
face board which allows the control to be linked to a personal
computer. This network link allows an owner to program, collect
data and run diagnostics on any machine.
For detailed information on network communications, refer to the
network instructions.
