Programming Hints

Read the Standard Cycle Charts (near the end of this manual) for the cycles already programmed into the computer to see how the cycle steps have been ordered.

Use a program worksheet (refer to Table 4) to write new cycles. After the worksheet is completed, enter the program into the computer.

The computer can do only one thing at a time, so think in terms of what the machine should do next, step by step. This will make it simpler to write the program.

When entering the timed portion of a step (such as a fill), use a time that is reasonable for the local installation. If the water pressure is low or if the water lines are smaller than desirable, increase the time allowed. Remember that the drain needs to empty the machine in less than one minute. Drain times of more than one minute are not recommended.

Except for the soak, heat, and cool-down (Wash 5) steps, which are timed in hours and minutes, the maximum time per step is 9 minutes and 99 seconds. If more time is needed, add more steps to total the complete time desired. For example, if a 15-minute wash is desired, program a wash step for 9 minutes and 00 seconds, immediately followed by another wash step for 6 minutes and 00 seconds.

When a fill or addition of supplies without agitation is desired, first program a Wash 3 step for 0 minutes and 01 seconds. Then program the fill or supply step.

When the microcomputer advances to the next step, it will remain in the Wash Mode as programmed in the previous step unless it is instructed to do otherwise.

Before attempting to program any particular function of the WE-6 microcomputer, read System Programming, Cycle Programming, and Step Programming.
