1. Once all MSI wiring from the conduit elbow is routed inside the laundry machine controller, locate the
washing machine supply signals inside the laundry machine.
2. Connect the green/yellow wire to the washer frame ground (earth ground).
It needs to be ensured, that the high-voltage AC signals from the machine dosing output board are of one
phase only.
The safety ground (green/yellow wire) on the MSI module must be properly connected to the machine safety
ground.
The MSI board automatically adjusts to accept 24-240 VAC (or 22-24 VDC) supply signals from the washing machine. For DC signals, Common
is the signal DC ground, positive DC voltages are connected to the hot signal wires.
All washer signals are converted to low voltage. A green LED will illuminate on the front of the MSI module when a signal is triggered from
the washer. A micro-processor circuit will send the validated signal(s) back to the Condor Controller via the communication cable
3. Identify and assign the washer supply signals. Check with technical service or with the washer
manufacturer if you are not sure of the connections.
4. Connect wiring from MSI module to washer supply signals.
5. Do NOT leave any exposed wires uncapped as they could cause an electrical short circuit inside the
washer controller box. Use electrical tape or wire nuts to cap off un-used wires.
The laundry machines are connected to ground via the power supply using the green/yellow wire.
If service is needed, sometimes the power connector is disconnected. In this case the machine loses safety
ground connection.
It is therefore mandatory to have a separate safety ground connection installed on the laundry machine
housing, which will be active at any time.
Proper grounding of the MSI and the washers will prevent high voltage on the machine signals.
3.4.8. Chart Stop (Machine Hold) Wiring (MSI module)
If needed for fixed timer washers, connect Chart Stop wires to the washer timer motor. Two gray wires are
pre-connected for Chart Stop connections. These wires provide a normally-closed dry contact that opens
when the controller calls for Chart Stop. This provides an interruption of the washer timer motor for the
programmed Chart Stop time.
1. Disconnect one wire from the machine timer motor and connect it to an open screw terminal in the
washer controller.
2. Add a supplemental wire (18 GA, 300V-rated insulation) from the timer motor, where the wire was
removed in step 1. Connect the other end of this supplemental wire to another open screw terminal.
3. Connect the two gray wires from the MSI to the new screw terminals in positions corresponding to the
motor timer wires.
4. Program the Controller for desired Chart Stop times for each product and formula.
3.4.9. MicroMode Signal Wiring (MSI module)
MicroMode allows formula selection to be performed automatically by the washer controller. The washer
controller must be microprocessor controlled and able to program supply trigger signal timed to the seconds.
1. Connect MicroMode signal from the washing machine to MSI Signal #1 (black wire).
2. Select MicroMode feature for each washer on the Condor Controller (3. System Menu> 1. Washer
Settings> 6. WE Signal Mode>MicroMode)
