Preliminary Information
About
the Control
This control is
an
advanced, programmable computer
that lets the owner control most machine features
by
pressing a sequence
of
keypads. 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. Washers shipped from
the factory have a default cycle
and
wash temperature
setting
of
PERM PRESS and WARM 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 until the electrical power
is restored.
IMPORTANT:
It
is
extremely
important
that
the
washer has a good ground connection and that all
mechanical
and
electrical connections to the control
are
made before applying power to
or
operating the
washer.
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 washer will resume into
the
previously active cycle
if
so programmed
by
the owner.
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 33.
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. On drain pump models,
if
the wash basket is
full
of
water, the control will move to a Delicate fmal
high speed spin and prompt the user to press the
START pad. Once the START
pad
is pressed, the
control will spin out
the
cycle.
Communications
The control
may
be
programmed manually,
by
infra-
red communication 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, it is not required to program and
operate the washer.
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 a limited
number
offeatures
and
collect audit information.
For detailed information
on
the serial card reader
communications, refer to instructions included with
the 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.
