FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS

WASH
The WASH Select Key enables the wash cycle and operates as follows:
The wash motor:

When wash cycle is running . . . the corresponding LED is on, showing current status of the motor. For example:

When programming or reviewing steps in a program, all three LED’s are on to indicate that a wash cycle is selected for the step.
To set-up the unit to program the wash cadence while programming or when the unit is idle during manual operation:

    1. Hold the WASH Select Key -- approximately 4 seconds -- a long beep will sound and the FWD (Forward) LED will flash.
    2. The TIME displays the forward rotation time in seconds. Pressing the TIME up and down keys modifies this value.
    3. Pressing the Select Key again selects the Pause time . . . then the Reverse time.

To exit the wash cadence programming mode:

Press Select Key once more after the REV LED is flashing.
A different wash cadence can be selected for each step.

DRAIN
Press the DRAIN key . . . turns LED on or off.
When the LED is on . . . the drain valve is open.
The valve will automatically open when the machine is in an extract step, is not operating or when power to the unit is removed.
The drain cannot be:

If the DRAIN LED is on and OPTIONS -Water Reuse- is selected, the unit will drain to the water reuse tank (see Water Reuse in the OPITIONS section).

HOT AND COLD WATER
There are two methods to fill the wash tub with water:

    1. Non-temperature control fill; and
    2. Thermal fill (fill to temperature).

Non-Temperature Control Fill
For non-temperature control operation the hot and cold inject valves follow the status of the HOT and COLD LED’s.

    1. Pressing the HOT and COLD keys toggle the status of the LED’s. The valves are independently programmable, and are disabled during any extract step.

Temperature Control Fill (Thermal fill)
For filling the wash tub to a specific pre-set temperature.

    1. Temperature control injection can be enabled only when both the HOT and COLD LED’s are turned on.
    2. To enable the temperature control: Press the TEMP up or down arrow key to set controlled temperature.

If, temperature control is enabled and the unit is running:

If a FILL level is also selected for the step, the unit will attempt to control the temperature until the fill level is reached.
If a FILL level and TIME are not selected for the step, the unit will attempt to control the temperature:

If a TIME is entered for the step, the unit will:

The temperature band for valve operation is +/- 5 oF to prevent "chatter" of valves.
The set temperature range is 45 to 205 oF.

CHEMICAL Supplies
The CHEMICAL supply injection:

Select chemicals to be injected as follows:

    1. Press CHEMICALS Select Key . . . all chemical LED’s turn off - Liquid/Dry Supplies 1 LED will blink.
    2. Pressing the Inject Key toggles this supply on or off. If the Inject LED is on the chemical is selected.
    3. Press the Select Key again - only the liquid/dry supply 2 LED blinks . . . This can be selected or de-selected using the Inject Key.
    4. Pressing the Select Key advances selection of all chemicals. After the last chemical status is selected, all the chemical LED’s selected for the step will be on.

When programmed into a step:

WATER LEVEL

EXTRACT
Press the EXTRACT Select key to select the extract speed. There are 1 to 4 extract speeds available depending on the machine’s configuration. Only the LED’s corresponding to the speeds available will turn on during EXTRACT select.* The following occurs during the start of an extract step:

  1. The wash forward motor runs for 15 seconds - the drain is closed.
  2. While the wash motor is running: if the water level is below medium . . . the last used water in a program is injected. If no last water was used, hot and cold water is injected until medium level is reached or until the 15 seconds is complete.
  3. The wash motor is deactivated and the distribution motor is enabled for 15 seconds. The drain is opened.
  4. The distribution motor is deactivated and the low extract motor is enabled for 30 seconds.
  5. The low extract motor is deactivated and the set extract speed for the step motor is activated.
  6. After time out of extract step, there is a one minute break delay.

DynaWash three pocket models drain prior to extract step and skip steps 1 and 2 above.

*Number of extract speeds are determined by the model configuration. P2 models have one Low extract speed (1 total); P3 models have one High extract speed (1 total); P4 models have one Low and one High extract speed (2 total); and P6 models have one Low, one Medium Low, one Medium High and one High extract speed (4 total).

CAUTION

Do not attempt entry into machine until
cylinder has come to a complete stop and
TEMP LED’s display END.

 

OPTIONS

HEAT Control
Pressing the Heat Key to turn on the Heat LED and enables heat control.

A set temperature must be entered for heat control.

The step will end when:

 

POLYCOOL
Pressing the OPTIONS Polycool key toggles the Polycool function.

  1. When the Polycool LED is on, the temperature will display a set temperature.
  2. The TEMP up and down arrow keys are used to set the Polycool temperature.
  3. The Polycool valve will remain open until the drum temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature.

The high water level error is ignored when the Polycool function is invoked.
The drain cannot be open when the Polycool function is activated.
Polycool cannot be activated during a fill or an extract step.

When running a program, the Polycool step is complete when:

 

WATER REUSE & WET CLEANING RE-CIRCULATION PUMP
Selecting OPTIONS - Water Reuse - without the Drain selected, fills the drum from the water reuse tank. Selecting OPTIONS - Water Reuse - with the Drain selected, drains to the water reuse tank.

The key sequence for programming Water Reuse is as follows:

When filling the drum from the Water Reuse tank, if water level is not reached after 10 minutes, cold water is automatically injected.
For Wet Cleaning, the water re-circulating pump is activated by selecting OPTIONS - Water Reuse. Activate the pump only during a non-fill wash step.

The key sequence for programming the water re-circulating pump is as follows:

Note: Wash Cadence for Wet Cleaning can be modified (per Step) by following instructions on page 3.

Note: While water re-circulating pump is running, pressing any of the Manual Over-ride functions when active (Program operation in RUN2 mode) will de-energize the pump for the duration of the Step.

 

SAFETY FEATURES

DOOR LOCK
The door lock is automatically released at the end or termination of a program. The lock stays released for 20 seconds or until the door is opened. At this point, to open the door again, press the STOP/PAUSE button - the door lock will open for another 20 seconds.

When the door LED is:

    1. Temperature in machine is greater than 130 oF.
    2. Level of water in machine more than 1 inch.

For safety, manual operation cannot be enabled and a program will not be allowed to start if the door is open. All machine operations (except for Fwd/Rev Jog on three pocket models) are prohibited when the door is opened.

 

BRAKE
The brake relay is activated for 1 minute after an extract function has been executed. While the brake function is active the motor(s) will not rotate. If a wash or extract function is selected the WASH or EXTRACT LED’s will blink to indicate that the brake action is in effect. When the brake is completed the motor will be allowed to rotate.

For safety, if power is removed during a brake cycle the brake time will continue when power is resumed.

 

VIBRATION FAULT SEQUENCE
The vibration switch is not sensed until the motor is running an extract speed.

If the switch is tripped at this point, the unit will execute the vibration recovery sequence. While the switch is tripped:

The vibration recovery sequence is as follows:

  1. The TEMP display will flash "BAL" for balance during the entire sequence.
  2. The brake timer is activated . . . TIME display counts down 60 seconds for braking.
  3. When the brake time is complete:  The wash cadence is activated. The drum will be filled with the last water injected (or cold if none) until the med-low level is reached, and TIME display will count up in seconds, indicating the time it takes for the drum to fill.
  4. Once the med-low level is reached, the wash motor is turned off.
  5. Distribution will run for 30 seconds. TIME display will count down.
  6. When the distribution function is complete, the motor will resume extract speed, and the entire extract step will be repeated.

The fault recovery sequence will be executed a maximum of three times.

After three executions:

PROGRAMMING

What is a Program?
A program is the assembling of a series of logically ordered steps.
There are a total of 39 programs. The are configured as follows:

What is a Step?
A step controls a specific machine operation. For example, a fill step would allow for hot and cold water injection into the machine to either a level or temperature while rotating the basket.  There are a total of 24 steps per program.

 Create a Program:

  1. Insert key into key-switch, and turn to Program position. Use the PROG up and down keys to select the desired program number to program or edit or delete.
  2. Press both PROG keys. The decimal points on the PROG display will turn on to indicate that the unit is in its programming mode.
  3. Use the STEP up and down keys to select the desired step to edit, or begin at step 01.
  4. Select the desired operation of the step. For non fill and temperature control steps, be sure to enter in a time or the step will not execute.
  5. When the operation for the step has been entered, press the STEP up (to advance) or down (to review) key to store the step. This also holds true for the last step entered.
  6. When finished entering the program, press the PROG up or down key to exit program mode.

 Insert a step into a program:

  1. Enter program mode and select the step number that is to be inserted.
  2. Override settings for this step with the settings for the step to be inserted.
  3. When the settings for the step to be inserted are entered, press both STEP keys until a beep sounds. The step is now inserted.

 Delete a step from a program:

  1. Enter program mode - select the step number that is to be deleted.
  2. Press and hold both TIME keys until a beep sounds. The step is now deleted.

Delete a program from memory:

  1. Press and hold both PROG keys until a beep sounds to delete the entire program.

 

ERRORS AND ERROR CODES

When an Error occurs:

Pressing the STOP/PAUSE key once stops the alarm.
Pressing the STOP/PAUSE key again clears the error displayed.
If a time-out error occurs during a program, the program will continue to the next step.

Error Codes:
The control can detect the following errors. The TEMP display will display "Err" and the TIME display will display a number from the list below corresponding to the error:

1. Temperature fail wait time (30 minutes)
2. Level fail wait time (15 minutes)
5. Wash motor overload
6. Extract motor overload
7. Out of balance more than three times
9. High temperature in drum (>=210 oF)
10. High water in drum (greater than high level)
11. EPROM bad
12. Level fault transducer
13. Temperature fault sensor
14. Motor overload variable speed drive
15. Calibration error
16. Vibration switch tripped

DIAGNOSTICS

The DIAGNOSTICS self tests the control. To enter diagnostics mode:
With the power off, jumper the two pins sticking out on the right side of the back of the control with a shorting jumper. With the jumper in place, power on unit.

  1. The TEMP will display "VEr" and the TIME display will show the version number.
  2. Pressing the START key will test the displays. Each display and LED will light to verify operation.
  3. Press and hold START key until the TEMP and TIME displays numbers. 
    Pressing each key will display a different number in the TIME display.
  4. Press the STOP/PAUSE key: TEMP will read "SPd" in the display and TIME will display a number. Pressing the TIME up and down keys will change this number from 0 to 99 percent of full VFD motor speed. The frequency of the motor can be verified in reference to the 0 - 99 setting of the control. It is desirable to have the fastest extract speed equal to approximately 60% of speed. The above is for P6 models only. For all models, pressing the Hot Key will toggle the forward direction of the motor on and off. Pressing the Cold Key will toggle the reverse direction of the motor on and off.
  5. Press the START key and "Out" will be displayed on the TEMP display. Pressing the program up and down keys changes the number on the TIME display. Each number on the TIME display represents a relay on the daughter board. Pressing the START key toggles this relay on and off.
  6. Pressing the STOP/PAUSE key displays "C0" on the STEP display. The TIME display reads the a/d counts of the temperature probe which ranges from 0 to 255 when the temperature ranges from 32 to 212 oF.
  7. Pressing the START key displays "C1" on the STEP display. The TEMP display reads the pressure a/d counts. Pressing the COLD key fills the drum with water.   Pressing the DRAIN key drains the water. The relationship of fill level to a/d counts can be determined.
  8. Pressing the STOP/PAUSE key exits diagnostics.

 

CONFIGURATION

The CONFIGURATION allows for setting specific control parameters. With the diagnostics jumper removed, powering on the unit while holding the START key sets the unit for configuration mode.

  1. The TIME display will read "FL" and the TEMP display will read the pressure sensor a/d counts. Pressing the FILL Select Key toggles through the fill levels. The pressure a/d counts can be entered in for each fill level. When all FILL LED’s are on, the a/d value entered in should represent 1 inch of water.
  2. Press the STOP/PAUSE key. The TEMP display will read "PUL" and the TIME will display the external injector pulse time in seconds. Pressing the TIME up and down arrow keys changes this time.
  3. Press the START key. The TEMP display reads "PAr" and the TIME display reads the model setting. Pressing the TIME up and down arrow keys changes this setting (all models except for P6 exit Configuration after this selection (by pressing the STOP/PAUSE key)).
  4. Press the STOP/PAUSE key. If the VFD P6 setting was selected, the TIME display will read "SP" and the TEMP display will read the speed percent setting. Pressing the WASH key will show the wash speed setting. This setting can be changed using the TEMP up and down arrow keys. Pressing the EXTRACT keys toggles through the extract speeds. When all EXTRACT LED’s are on, the speed percent displayed is the distribution speed.
  5. Press the START key to exit configuration mode.

 

TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION

The TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION allows for adjustment of the temperature probe’s readings. With the diagnostics jumper removed, hold both PROG keys and power the unit on.

  1. The STEP display will read "CA" and the TEMP will display the current temperature read by the probe.
  2. The TIME display will be a number from 0 to 40. The default value is 20. Pressing the TIME up and down keys changes the temperature value. This function can be used for precise calibration of the temperature probe.
  3. Press the STOP/PAUSE key to exit calibration mode.

MEMORY TEST

The MEMORY TEST will clear all contents in memory and reset all configurations and programs to default values.

To test the memory:

  1. Enter diagnostics mode - when "VEr" is displayed press both PROG keys.
  2. Temperature and time displays will count for a few minutes while the test is conducted.
  3. If an error is displayed one or more of the EPROM’s may be bad. If no error is displayed the diagnostics mode will continue.
  4. Pressing both STEP keys while "VEr" is displayed will reset only the 8 pre-programs and not perform the memory test.

 

FACTORY PROGRAMS

The following "ready-to-use" programs have been developed by leading chemical companies for commercial and on-premise laundry applications. Although the programs are stored in the permanent memory of the control, they can be edited and/or erased. To operate any of them, simply scroll to the appropriate number and press START. Use them as a guide to developing your own wash programs.
