1.3.1 Condor Controller
The Condor Controller is the main controller for the system. This module is the interface between the user
and the system. All of the programming features, report data, and diagnostic tools are available here. The
Condor Controller can also be used to select wash formulae. A wash formula selection made on the
Controller will be shown on the corresponding Formula Select module. If the Formula Select modules are
not installed on the laundry washer, the formula selections must be made using the Condor Controller when
MicroMode is not in use. The Condor Controller should be mounted in a location that is accessible to the
customer and service technician. The communication connection for a tablet or other mobile device is
located on the front of the Condor Controller. Audible and visual alarms come from this module.
1.3.2 Machine Signal Interface Module (MSI)
The MSI module is installed at the laundry machine control wiring area, typically on the back of the washing
machine. It receives the laundry machine supply signals and automatically converts them from machine
voltages (24 - 240VAC or 22 - 24VDC) to dispenser signal voltages (24VDC). Once a signal is received and
validated, the system will dispense products based on the selected formula. Chart Stop output wiring
connections are available at the MSI.
1.3.3 Formula Select Module (FS)
The FS module is typically mounted on the front of the laundry machine. It is used to select the wash
formula on the dispenser when a new cycle is started. The selected formula is displayed on the screen. Any
active alarms will be displayed on the screen of each FS as well as the Condor Controller.
If MicroMode is in use, the wash formula does not need to be manually selected on the Formula Select
module. The formula will be automatically communicated from the washer to the dispenser via the washer
MicroMode signal. In this mode, the FS is optional, but can still be used to convey system’s information to
the user.
This module is optional for accounts where MicroMode is in use or if wash formula selection will only be
made using the Condor Controller.
1.3.4 I/O (Input/Output) Circuit Board
The I/O circuit board is found inside the plastic enclosure, inside the Pump Cabinet. The board INPUTS
signals from the Condor Controller to turn on valves and pumps then OUTPUTS information as to amount of
product dispensed (using conductivity probes) and temperatures (thermistor). The Pump Cabinet dispenses
products when the I/O board receives a request from the Condor Controller after the MSI receives a signal
from the machine. The I/O board within the pump cabinet processes the request based on the product
requested, gram amount, delay time, and chart stop time.
