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 LEDs 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:
- Hold the WASH Select Key -- approximately 4 seconds -- a long beep will sound and the FWD (Forward) LED will flash.
- The TIME displays the forward rotation time in seconds. Pressing the TIME up and down keys modifies this value.
- 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:
- Non-temperature control fill; and
- 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 LEDs.
Temperature Control Fill (Thermal fill)
For filling the wash tub to a specific pre-set temperature.
- Temperature control injection can be enabled only when both the HOT and COLD LEDs are turned on.
- 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.
NOTE
Programming a TIME for a temperature-controlled (thermal fill) step may result in machine overflow (mainly dependent on water flow rate). To prevent, shorten or delete the TIME setting from the step.
CHEMICAL Supplies
The CHEMICAL supply injection:
Select chemicals to be injected as follows:
- Press CHEMICALS Select Key . . . all chemical LEDs turn off - Liquid/Dry Supplies 1 LED will blink.
- Pressing the Inject Key toggles this supply on or off. If the Inject LED is on the chemical is selected. The TIME display indicates the length of the signal in seconds. Program a time between 1 and 99 seconds. The default time is 60 seconds.
- Press the Select Key again - only the liquid/dry supply 2 LED blinks . . . This can be selected or de-selected using the Inject Key.
- Pressing the Select Key advances selection of all chemicals. After the last chemical status is selected, all the chemical LEDs selected for the step will be on.
When programmed into a step, supplies signals will fire the corresponding supply number for the length of time programmed from the start of the step and then automatically turn off.
WATER LEVEL
EXTRACT
Press the EXTRACT Select key to select the extract speed. There are 2 extract
speeds available. Only the LEDs corresponding to the speeds available will turn on
during EXTRACT select. The following occurs during the start of an extract step:
CAUTION
Do not attempt entry into machine until
basket has come to a complete stop and
TEMP LEDs 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.
- When the Polycool LED is on, the temperature will display a set temperature.
- The TEMP up and down arrow keys are used to set the Polycool temperature.
- 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 (Extra Drain and Extra Water Inlet)
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.
SAFETY FEATURES
DOOR LOCK
The door lock is automatically released at the end or termination of a program. The lock
remains 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:
- Temperature in machine is greater than 130 oF.
- 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 LEDs 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:
- The TEMP display will flash "BAL" for balance during the entire sequence.
- The brake timer is activated . . . TIME display counts down 60 seconds for braking.
- When the brake time is complete, the wash cadence is activated.
- Distribution will run for 30 seconds. TIME display will count down.
- 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. (In the ES version of the software code, total program steps is increased from 24 to 48 and total number of programs is decreased from 39 to 19.)
Create a Program:
Insert a step into a program:
Delete a step from a program:
Delete a program from memory:
ERRORS AND ERROR CODES Pressing the STOP/PAUSE key once stops the alarm. Error Codes: 1. Temperature fail wait time (30 minutes)
When an Error occurs:
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.
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:
2. Level fail wait time (15 minutes)
5. Wash motor overload
6. Extract motor overload
7. Out of balance more than three times
8. Door Open while machine operating
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
