INPUT DEFINITIONS
DOOR LOCK SWITCH INPUT
When input is present, this is indication the
washer door is locked. The machine control-
ler will not command the spinner to spin faster
than 50 rpm when the input is not present
prior to spin.
END-OF-CYCLE SIGNAL INPUT
The End-of-Cycle Signal Input is energized
through a user input switch on the control
panel. When this is energized and the cycle
has finished, the machine control will sound
the End-of-Cycle signal (See End-Of-Cycle Sig-
nal Output).
FABRIC SELECTION INPUTS
The Fabric Selection Inputs are energized
through a user input switch on the control
panel. The machine control reads these in-
puts to determine which cycles should be run
when the washer is started.
MAX EXTRACT INPUT
The Max Extract Input is energized through a
user input switch on the control panel. When
input is energized, the machine control will
modify the final spin profile to the max ex-
tract profile.
NOTE: If the user selects the Hand W ashables
fabric selection, all spins will follow the Max
Extract profile regardless of whether the user
selects the Max Extract option.
OUT-OF-BALANCE INPUT
The Out-of-Balance Input Signal is provided
by three normally-closed switches wired in
sequence. If any of these switches opens due
to an out-of-balance condition, the signal will
be momentarily lost (See Unbalance Control
System).
PRESSURE SWITCH INPUT
The input signal from the Pressure Switch
serves two purposes. It supplies power for
the water valves and provides an indication
to the machine control as to whether the com-
manded water level has been reached.
When the timer advances into a cycle se-
quence that calls for water, power is supplied
through the timer to either the wash or rinse
level contacts on the pressure switch. When
the water level in the tub is below the full level
for that setting, the pressure switch circuit is
closed, supplying power for the water valves
to the machine control. When the water level
switch is satisfied, the pressure switch circuit
is opened and power for the water valves is
no longer passed to the machine control. The
