Preliminary Information
About the Control
This control is an advanced, programmable computer that lets the
owner control most machine features by pressing a sequence of
keypads.
The control allows the owner to program custom cycles, set vend
prices, retrieve audit information, run diagnostic tests, program
special vend features and set other programmable features. Wash-
ers shipped from the factory have a default cycle setting of NOR-
MAL 40 built in. However, the owner can change the default cy-
cle, or any cycle, as needs permit.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power failure, the control
will not have to be reprogrammed. It is designed with a
memory system that will remember how it was pro-
grammed until the electrical power is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the washer
has a good ground connection and that all mechanical
and electrical connections to the control are made be-
fore applying power to or operating the washer.
Glossary of Terms
The following are a few terms and abbreviations to learn. These
are referred to throughout the instructions.
Display – This term refers to the window area of the control that
displays words and values.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) – This term refers to the lights next
to the keypads and status words of the control.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress and the power fails, the cycle status is
saved in memory. When the power recovers, the washer will re-
sume into the previously active cycle if so programmed by the
owner.
The owner may program a special feature called POWER FAIL
RESET which sets a maximum power failure duration. To pro-
gram this feature, refer to
.
If the length of the power failure is greater than the POWER
FAIL RESET time, the control will end the cycle and the display
will revert back to the ready mode.
On drain pump models, if the wash basket is full of water, the
control will lock the door and pump out the water.
Communications
The control may be programmed manually, by infra-red with an
external device or by a network. A limited number of features can
be programmed by a card reader.
Infra-red Communications (Optional)
An external device, such as a PDA, allows the owner to program
and retrieve information from the control without touching the
keypad. An external device greatly expands the programming op-
tions available to the owner. However, the external device is not
required to program and operate the machine. The operation of an
external device and the advanced features available are covered
separately in the instructions included with the external device
software. Contact Alliance Laundry Systems for a list of ap-
proved PDAs and other external devices.
Serial Card Reader Communications (Card Models
Only)
The control will accept communication with a serial card reader
in order to perform vending transactions when a card is inserted
to pay for cycles. The card reader can also allow the owner to
program a limited number of features and collect audit informa-
tion.
For detailed information on serial card reader communications,
refer to instructions included with card reader.
Network Communications
The control will also accept communication with a network inter-
face board which allows the control to be linked to a personal
computer. This network link allows an owner to program, collect
data and run diagnostics on any machine.
For detailed information on network communications, refer to the
network instructions.
