Section 2. Washer Controls Overview

START/PAUSE INPUT

The start/pause input is selected on the

membrane switch for both washers. If

this input is initially selected the machine

control will begin the wash cycle

sequence as defined by the user input

selections. If this input is selected when a

cycle is in progress, the machine control

will pause the cycle and unlock the door

when it is safe to do so.

(Note: Machine control board is

powered up all the time. There no

longer is a line relay used, as opposed to

the MAH3000, 4000 and 5500A models.)

TACH INPUT

The tach input is a feedback signal from

the motor control. It provides eight

pulses per revolution of the switched

reluctance motor. The motor runs at 14

times the speed of the spinner (14:1 belt

ratio). The tach input is used for

monitoring speed and out-of-balance

detection (See Tachometer Circuit

Diagnostics).

If the machine control commands a motor

speed and direction but does not sense a

tach input signal within 2 or 3 seconds, it

will assign a HELP code number and

perform 10 retries. If unsuccessful, this

generally indicates a locked rotor or a

malfunction in the motor control.

If the machine control commands a coast

down from final spin speed but is still

receiving a tach input signal after two

minutes, it will log appropriate service

codes.

OUTPUT MODIFICATIONS

DEFINED

DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK

SOLENOID OUTPUT

The Door Lock/Unlock Solenoid Output

signal is a 60 millisecond pulse sent to a

solenoid in the door lock assembly. The

solenoid is attached to a lever which

moves a slider in the mechanism to lock

the door after it has been closed and the

cycle started. The solenoid has two coils,

one for locking and one for unlocking

when a pulse is directed to specific

terminals on the solenoid. Power is not

continuously applied to the solenoid,

because this would damage the solenoid.

END-OF-CYCLE SIGNAL OUTPUT

The End-Of-Cycle Signal Output is an

internal signal on the machine control

between the microprocessor and

annunciator. The end-of-cycle signal

sounds when a wash cycle is finished.

The end-of-cycle signal sounds as four

pulses on the MAH5500B and 3 pulses on

the MAH7500 in a 0.5 second intervals. If

the door is opened right at the end of the

cycle or during the end of cycle beeps,

then the signal will stop on the MAH5500B

only. If the start/pause key is pressed

near the end of the cycle, the end of cycle

signal will not occur unless the cycle is

restarted and allowed to finish. If the Off

key is pressed, the end of cycle signal will

not occur. The end of cycle signal will

occur when the door is unlocked and

ready to open on the MAH5500B. On the

MAH7500, the signal sounds then the

door is unlocked.

HEATER OUTPUT (LCD Washer only)

The machine control board turns the

heater on to heat the wash water during

the main wash until the temperature

reaches the targeted main wash

temperature. The heater is turned back

on at any point the temperature falls 5º F
