Preliminary Information
About the Control
The UniLinc control on the tumble dryer is an advanced, graphi-
cal, programmable computer that lets the owner control most ma-
chine features by interacting with the control.
UniLinc allows the owner to program custom cycles, run diag-
nostic cycles, and retrieve audit and error information.
Tumble dryers shipped from the factory have default cycles and
other settings built in. The owner can change the default cycle or
any cycle.
IMPORT
ANT: It is extremely important that the tumble
dryer has a positive ground and that all mechanical
and electrical connections are made before applying
power to or operating the tumble dryer.
DIP Switch Configuration
Make sure DIP switches are configured properly for the machine.
Refer to Figure 2

Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress when the power fails, and if the power
outage lasts three or more seconds, the cycle is lost and cannot be
resumed when power recovers. If the power outage lasts less than
three seconds, the control will resume the cycle when the power
recovers.
Communications
The control has the ability to communicate with a PDA and a lap-
top with an IrDA device running the UniLinc software. Devices
such as PDAs and laptops that are IrDA capable (able to transmit
information to machine) that have been tested and approved for
use with the UniLinc software can be used as a tool for managing
the machine.
The control will also accept communication with a network
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 net-
work communications, refer to the network instructions.
Audit Information
The control collects and stores audit information, which can be
accessed with a PDA, PC or network. Refer to the following list
for some of the available audit information. Refer to UniLinc PC
and PDA Application User Instructions.
• T
otal Number of Individual Cycle Counters
• Last 25 Machine Cycles
• Service History
• End of Cycle to Loading Door Open Time
• End of Cycle to Start of Next Cycle Time
• Total Number of Machine Cycles
• Total Number of Operating Minutes
• Power Failure Audit Data
The PDA, PC or network can receive audit and program data
from the control, and send programming data and diagnostic
commands to the control. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA Appli-
cation User Instructions for additional information.
Some of the above listed audit data is available manually. Refer
to Laundry Management Menus section.
