Preliminary Information
About the Control
NetMaster on the commercial washer is an advanced, programmable computer that lets the owner control most machine features by pressing a sequence of SELECT CYCLE and SELECT WASH TEMP pads. Refer to Figure 1.
NetMaster allows the owner to program custom cycles, set vend prices, retrieve audit information, program and run diagnostic cycles, and program special vend features. Washers shipped from the factory have a default cycle and wash temperature setting of PERM PRESS, WARM built in. However, the owner can change the default cycle, or any cycle, as needs permit.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power failure, NetMaster will not have to be reprogrammed. It is designed with a memory system that will remember how it was programmed (for a minimum of six years) until the electrical power is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the washer has a positive ground and that all mechanical and electrical connections to NetMaster are made before applying power to or operating the washer.
Glossary of Terms
The following are a few terms and abbreviations to learn. These are referred to throughout the instructions.
VFD - Vacuum Fluorescent Display.
This term refers to the window area of the control that displays words and values.
LED - Light Emitting Diode.
This term refers to the lights on the keypads and status words of the control.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress and the power fails, the cycle status is saved in memory for a minimum of six years without power. When the power recovers, the washer will resume into the previously active cycle if so programmed by the owner.
The owner may program a special feature called POWER FAIL RESET which sets a maximum power failure duration. To program this feature, refer to Programming NetMaster, option 25.
If the length of the power failure is greater than the POWER FAIL RESET time, the control will end the cycle and the display will revert back to the ready mode. If the washtub is full of water, the control will
move to the Rinse Spin cycle and prompt the user to press the START pad. Once the START pad is pressed, the control will spin out the cycle.
Communications
NetMaster may be programmed manually, by the
Infra-red Communications (Optional)
The
Smart Card Reader Communications (Card Models Only)
The control will accept communication with a Card Reader in order to perform vending transactions when a card is inserted to pay for cycles. The card reader can also allow the owner to program and collect audit information.
For detailed information on Smart Card Reader Communications, refer to the Smart Card Setup Module in the NetMaster Smart Card Suite software package.
Network Communications
The control will also accept communication with a Network Interface Board 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 instruction manual.
