Preliminary Information

About the Control

The UniLinc control on the tumbler is an advanced, graphical, programmable computer that lets the owner control most machine features by interacting with the control.

UniLinc allows the owner to program custom cycles, run diagnostic cycles, and retrieve audit and error information.

Tumblers shipped from the factory have default cycles and other settings built in. The owner can change the default cycle or any cycle.

IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the tumbler has a positive ground and that all mechanical and electrical connections are made before applying power to or operating the tumbler.

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 laptop 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 network communications, refer to the network instructions.

Audit Information
