Wired Solution
The wired solution supports up to 60 laundry machines (see
below). In laundry centers with 20 or fewer
machines, you only need a single LCM20, which is installed inside the LC3000 enclosure. If your laundry center
supports more than 20 machines, a multiplexer (an LCM20) and an enclosure (LE3/PSENCL) are needed for each
additional set of 20 laundry machines. The LC3000 reader can support a maximum of three (3) multiplexers.
A machine interface (an LCI), which is a wiring harness that communicates with the laundry machine controller, is
connected to a cable within a multiplexer (LCM20). This machine interface must be installed in every laundry machine
to facilitate communication between the laundry machines and the LC3000 laundry reader unit. Several models of
machine interfaces are available. Use
to determine the correct machine interface (LCI) model
number, based on the manufacturer and model of your laundry machines.
