Alliance Laundry Systems Operation, Balance Detection

Programming

The WE-6 simulator and the WE-6 microcomputer are capable of storing and running up to 39 cycles, each limited to 51 steps.

●The computer will not accept cycle numbers higher than 39.

●If an attempt is made to add a step to a cycle that already contains 51 steps, the computer will display “CYFULL” and refuse additional steps.

The front end-panel of the simulator holds the RECEIVE and TRANSMIT ports for the optic cables used in program transfers.

●When transferring cycles from simulator to computer or computer to simulator, the colored plugs on the ends of the optic cables must match the colors of the ports on the simulator and on the washer-extractor’s control module (gray to gray, blue to blue).

●If a mistake is made connecting the cables, the display will flash “CONN” and “ERROR” when the Enter key is pressed during the last step of the cycle transfer process.

On the rear end-panel of the simulator are six toggle switches used to simulate various normal operations of the washer-extractor. Refer to Figure 12. These six switches simulate or control the PROGRAM/RUN modes, LOW LEVEL, MEDIUM LEVEL, HIGH LEVEL, DOOR OPEN/DOOR CLOSED, and

BALANCE.

All the switches must be in the down position to simulate a machine at rest.

●If the PROGRAM/RUN switch is in the up position, the simulator is placed in the Program Mode.

●If the LOW LEVEL switch is in the up position, a low level water fill is simulated and the appropriate LED on the display is illuminated. The MEDIUM LEVEL and HIGH LEVEL switches operate similarly.

●When a cycle programmed in the simulator is running, the level switches must be activated at the appropriate times in the cycle to indicate to the computer that the levels have been reached and that the machine is empty.

●If the DOOR OPEN/DOOR CLOSED switch is flipped to the up position (DOOR OPEN) while a cycle is running, the “DOOR” alarm will be displayed.

●If the BALANCE switch is in the up position during the spin step or drain step of a cycle, an out-of-balance condition is indicated to the computer. (Refer to Balance Detection in the Operation section of this manual in regard to the drain step.)

The temperature probe (located on the rear end-panel of the simulator) simulates sump temperature.
