General Modes of Operation

In each mode of operation, the user may press keypads or communicate with the control to change the displayed menu.

Power-up Mode

The control enters this mode at power-up. After the control completes operation in the Power-up Mode it will enter Idle Mode. The display is blank during Power-up Mode.

Idle Mode

The control is ready for operation in Idle Mode. Control can display different menus depending on user input (keypad press, opening or closing the loading door, or PDA communication). If there is no user input for one minute, control will turn off the LCD backlight. The control will light when there is user input. If there is no user input for 10 minutes, the display will go blank.

If the control is in Idle Mode, Cycle Menu is

displayed, loading and lint door closed, and the keypad is pressed, control will enter Run Mode.

Run Mode

The Control enters Run Mode during a cycle. The Display shows machine cycle time remaining, the current cycle type, segment, temperature, and graphical indicators. Loading and lint doors are closed

during Run Mode. Press keypad to stop cycle

and enter Pause Mode. Press keypad to enter Run Diagnostic Menu. Control enters Pause Mode if

loading or lint door opens. Press to Rapid Advance.

Rapid Advance Mode

If the Rapid Advance Option is enabled, the user can advance a running machine cycle by pressing the

keypad. In a Time Dry cycle, pressing the keypad will decrease the remaining time by one

minute. Pressing and holding the keypad will decrease the remaining time by four minutes per second until the end of the cycle.

In the Auto-Dry and Moisture Dry cycles, pressing the

keypad will advance the cycle to the next enabled segment. Note that Auto-Dry cycles only have one programmable segment.

In the Cool Down segment, pressing the keypad will decrease the remaining time by one minute.

When the cycle is completed, the audit counter, Total Rapid Advance Cycles is incremented rather than the Total Machine Cycles audit counter. In addition this cycle is recorded in the audit list “Last 25 Machine Cycles Completed”. If the Rapid Advance Option is disabled preventing a manual Rapid Advance, the user may still execute a Rapid Advance using the PDA or PC. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions for additional information on using a PDA or PC to Rapid Advance a cycle.

Pause Mode

If keypad is pressed or the loading or lint door is opened while in Run Mode, control enters Pause Mode.

If the door is opened then closed, the control will

prompt the user to press to resume the cycle.

If is pressed while already in Pause Mode, the control will enter End of Cycle Mode.

Error Mode

This mode will be entered to display all fatal machine errors.

Communication Mode

This mode is entered whenever the control is communicating with a PDA or a network. Refer to

UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions.

Cool Down Mode

The control enters the Cool Down Mode after the heat segment of the cycle is completed or fatal error occurs. The control turns the heater off and for steam heated units turns the damper motor on. The cool down segment will end once the cool down temperature has been reached or the programmed cool down time expires, which ever happens first.
