Preliminary Information

About the Control

This control is an advanced, programmable computer that lets the owner control most machine features by pressing a sequence of keypads. Refer to Figure 1.

The control allows the owner to program custom cycles, retrieve audit information, run diagnostic tests, and other programmable features. Refer to Programming Control for a list of features. Washer- extractors shipped from the factory have a default cycle of Cycle #5 built in. However, the owner can change the default cycle, or any cycle, as needs permit.

IMPORTANT: In the event of a power failure, the control will not have to be reprogrammed. It is designed with a memory system that will remember how it was programmed until the electrical power is restored.

IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the washer-extractor has a good ground connection and that all mechanical and electrical connections to the control are made before applying power to or operating the washer-extractor.

Glossary of Terms

The following are a few terms and abbreviations to learn. These are referred to throughout the instructions.

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 next to the keypads and status words of the control.

Power Failure Recovery

If a cycle is in progress and the power fails for less than five seconds, the cycle status is saved in memory. When the power recovers, the washer-extractor will resume into the previously active cycle.

If the length of the power failure is greater than five seconds, the control will end the cycle and the display will revert back to Start Mode.

Communications

The control may be programmed manually or by infra- red communication with an external device.

Infra-red Communications

An external device, such as a PDA, allows the owner to program and retrieve information from the control without touching the keypad. An external device greatly expands the programming options available to the owner. However, it is not required to program and operate the washer-extractor. The operation of an external device and the advanced features available are covered separately in the instructions included with the external device software. Contact Alliance Laundry Systems for a list of approved PDAs and other external devices.
