Preliminary Information
About the Control
This control is an advanced, programmable computer
that lets the owner control machine features
by
pressing a sequence
of
SELECT CYCLE pads. Refer
to
Figure 1.
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
Control
for a list
of
features. Dryers shipped from the
factory have a default cycle (MED TEMP) built in.
However, the owner can change the default cycle, or
any cycle, as needs permit.
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
programmed
(for
up
to
10
years)
uutil
the
electrical
power
is restored.
IMPORTANT:
It
is extremely
important
that
the
dryer
has a positive ground
and
that
all mechanical
and
electrical connections
to
the
control
are
made
before applying
power
to
or
operating
the
dryer.
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.
Power Failure Recovery
If
a cycle is in progress and the power fails, the cycle
status is saved
in
memory. When the power recovers,
the dryer will resume into the previously active cycle
(if
so programmed
by
the owner),
by
pressing the
START pad.
If
the power failure occurs while the
control is
in
a fatal error mode, it will return to Ready
Mode upon recovery.
The owner
may
program a special feature called
POWER FAIL RESET which sets a maximum power
failure duration.
To
program this feature, refer to
Programming Control, option 28.
If
the length
of
the power failure is greater than the
POWER
FAIL RESET time, the control will end the
cycle and the display will revert back to the Ready
Mode rather than resume the previously active cycle.
If
the length
of
the power failure is less than the
POWER
FAIL RESET time and the power failure is
greater than 2 seconds,
or
the POWER FAIL RESET
is turned off, the dryer will enter START mode.
Communications
The control may be programmed manually,
by
infra-red with an external device or
by
the network. A
limited number
of
features can
be
programmed
by
a
card reader.
Infra-red Communications (Optional)
An
external device, such as a PDA, allows the owner
to program and retrieve information from the control
without touching the keypad.
An
external device
greatly expands the programming options available to
the owner. However, the external device is not required
to program and operate the dryer.
The
operation
of
an
external device and the advanced features available are
covered separately in the instructions included with
the external device software. Contact Alliance
Laundry Systems for a list
of
approved PDAs and
other external devices.
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 and collect
audit information.
For detailed information on serial card reader
communications, refer to instructions included with
card reader.
Network Communications
The control will also accept communication with a
network interface 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.
