This document is a manual for Washer-Extractors, specifically those with a Cabinet Hardmount, Coin, and OPL (On-Premise Laundry) Mechanical Timer. It serves as a programming guide for these machines.

Function Description:

The Washer-Extractor is designed for washing and extracting textiles. It operates with a mechanical timer that allows for limited programming of wash cycles. The machine is capable of handling various types of laundry with different soil levels, fabric types, and temperature requirements, as indicated by the control panel options: HOT, WARM, WARM, COLD for water temperature, and HEAVILY SOILED, PERM-PRESS, NORMAL WASH, and DELICATE KNITS for cycle types. The programming features allow operators to customize wash duration, water levels, and rinse temperatures to suit specific laundry needs or operational requirements.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual includes a "Model Number Familiarization Guide" and an "EXAMPLE OF NAMEPLATE" to help identify specific machine models and their technical details. A sample model number provided is *C60MX2OU60001.

• Model Number Prefix (C): Indicates the model series.
• Washer-Extractor Capacity (60): 60 pounds dry weight of laundry.
• Type of Electrical Control (M): Mechanical Timer.
• Actuation (X): Prep for coin operation.
• Washer-Extractor Speed Capability (2): 2-speed operation.
• Electrical Characteristics (O): Specific electrical configuration.
• Design Series (U6): Design iteration.
• Option Identification (0001): Varies by machine.

From the example nameplate, further specifications are detailed:

• Voltage: 208 – 240
• Amps: 7
• Required Circuit Breaker Amps: 3
• Hz: 60
• Wire: 3
• Phase: 3
• Max. Load: 60 LB (18 KG)
• Max. Speed: 470 RPM
• Elec. Heating: N/A KW
• Steam Press.: N/A PSI (0 BAR)
• Product No.: 500000
• Date Code: (Not specified in example, but present on actual nameplate)

The machine is ETL Listed, conforming to ANSI/UL STD. 1555 and ANSI/UL STD. 1206, indicating compliance with safety standards.

Usage Features:

The washer-extractor offers a range of programmable options to optimize laundry cycles:

• Prewash Time: Can be set to two minutes, four minutes, or omitted.
• Wash Time: Can be set to either four minutes or eight minutes.
• Water Level for Wash Step: Can be set to either low or high.
• Rinse Temperature: Can be set to either cold or warm.
• Final Spin Time: Can be set to either two minutes or four minutes.

These settings are adjusted by installing or removing jumpers on the mechanical timer's circuit board. The manual provides detailed jumper configurations for both "Odd Side" (cycle time adjustments) and "Even Side" (fill temperature, water level, and wash action adjustments).

For coin-operated machines, the "Programming the Digital Coin Meter" section outlines how to set parameters such as:

• AtS (Amount to Start): Value required to start a single wash.
• APC (Amount Per Coin): Value of each coin inserted.
• Cn1/Cn2 (Coin 1/Coin 2): Values for coins inserted into specific slots (for dual coin acceptors).
• ACC (Accumulate): How the display shows the start amount (UP for value inserted, Dn for difference).
• FLS (Flash): Whether the display flashes.
• Crd (Credit): Whether overpayment is credited to the next wash.
• Lot (Lock-Out Time): Pause time when a bad coin is inserted.
• Ctr (Counter): Read-only parameter tracking the number of cycles performed.
• dPt (Decimal Point): Position of the decimal point in the display.

Maintenance Features:

The manual emphasizes several safety and maintenance aspects:

• Qualified Personnel: Installation, adjustment, and servicing must be performed by qualified electrical maintenance personnel familiar with this type of machinery and its hazards.
• Clearances: Recommended clearances for inspection and maintenance must be provided and not blocked.
• Level Floor: The machine must be installed on a level floor of sufficient strength to prevent injury or damage.
• Safety Decals: Safety decals must be maintained legible and followed.
• Daily Checks: Operators must perform daily checks, including verifying warning signs, and checking the door interlock mechanism (machine should not start with the door open or unlocked, and the door should remain locked during a cycle).
• Electrical Disconnection: ALWAYS disconnect the washer from the electrical supply before attempting any service.
• Grounding: The dryer frame must be externally grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Water Connections: Ensure shut-off valves are present and fill hose connections are tight. Shut off valves at the end of each wash day.
• Steam Pipes: Never touch internal or external steam pipes, connections, or components when hot; allow them to cool after turning off steam.
• No Bypassing Safety Devices: Never operate the machine with a bypassed or disconnected balance system, or with missing/broken parts.
• Timer Cover: Do not remove the cover from the mechanical timer, as this will void the warranty.
• Wire Removal: Do not remove the wire from the 1a terminal on the timer, as this disables the timer.

The manual also advises against washing textiles with flammable substances, adding such substances to wash water, and using extension cords or adapters for electrical connection. It stresses the importance of following manufacturer's instructions for laundry aids and fabric care.
