Alliance Laundry Systems Manual Mode Control Feature, three seconds, 9 minutes and 99 seconds

Operation

Manual Mode Control Feature

With the exception of a spin or drain step, manual control is available only while a preprogrammed cycle is in progress, and if Manual Mode is prompted in the WE-6 programming. Except for the motor outputs and door unlock output, the WE-6 computer outputs can be operated manually from the keypad. (In order to ensure proper sequencing, motor speeds are always controlled by the computer.)

In normal operation, when the Program Mode switch is in the RUN position, only the operations printed in black on the keys are accessible to the operator.

NOTE: When the Manual Mode control feature is activated, the operator must supply on/off commands for the controllable outputs. If an output is on, it will remain on until turned off by the operator or until the assigned time for the Manual Mode expires. This can be as long as

9 minutes and 99 seconds.

During the Manual Mode, normal cycle timing is suspended. When the Manual Mode is entered, the operations printed in red on the keys and mentioned in the following discussion are activated.

Entering the Manual Mode during a fill operation is not recommended. This bypasses the water-level switch inputs, and the water must be turned off manually by the operator.

The following procedure must be accomplished within three seconds in order to enter the Manual Mode:

1.Press the Manual key.

2.Then press three number keys to assign a time in minutes and seconds to the Manual Mode. For example, press key 2, key 3, and key 0 to enter the Manual Mode for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

3.Then press the Add Step key.

When the computer receives all these inputs within the three-second time limit, it will enter the Manual Mode for the time assigned.

The computer display will flash between “MAN230” (reflecting the time chosen in step 2 of the above procedure) and the current cycle step display for four seconds.

After four seconds, the display will flash between

“MANUAL” and the current cycle step display for the remainder of the assigned time.

Manual Mode operation will automatically end when the assigned time elapses. Normal program timing will then resume from the same point in the cycle where the Manual Mode was entered. To exit the Manual Mode and return to normal program timing before the assigned time elapses, press the Start key.

All water fill valves, supplies, heat (if the machine has reached low water level), main drain valve (Drain 1) and auxiliary outputs (excluding water reuse control outputs) can be manually controlled. The heat and drain outputs require that only one key be pressed (Heat and Drain respectively). All other outputs require that two keys be pressed. For example, to turn on the cold fill valve, press the keys Cold and Fill. When an output is on, pressing the same key or keys which caused it to energize will turn it off. Thus, to turn off the cold fill valve, press the keys Cold and Fill once again.
