B&C Technologies EL-6 Windows - Manual (Page 21)

Program 1 now contains only 7 cycles, leaving room for plenty of customization in the wash pro-
cess.
A Note about modifying Bath cycles: Modifying a cycle changes that cycle in whatever
program that cycle is used. For example, if Wash 11 is used in Program 1 and Program
2, changes to Wash 11 would affect both Program 1 and Program 2. Use this feature to
advantage! Much time can be saved through similarities in wash programs.
4.1.3 Spin Cycles
The spin cycles are used for drains and extracts:
• Spin 1 — 30 second intermediate spin
• Spin 2 — 5 minute medium speed spin
• Spin 3 — 5 minute high speed spin
• Spin 9 — Drain with no spin
A Note about modifying Spins: The EL6 is an incredibly flexible control – so flexi-
ble that it is possible to create cycles that don’t work! The most common difficulty is
with the spin cycles. By all means, use the existing spins and do not modify them. If a
change is needed, the best course of action is to only modify the time or the RPM in the
maximum RPM step, programmed for 4:30. This is the only step that affects the dura-
tion and force of the extract. The remaining steps control the ramp up to distribution
speed, the balance step, and finally after the extract, the braking routine. Altering any
of these steps will result in poor results and likely no extract at all.
4.1.4 Unroll Cycles
The Unroll cycles in the factory EL6 programs are used for redistributing the load in the event of
an unbalance (Unroll 99) and as a shakeout routine at the end of the program (Unroll 1). Dele-
tion of the Unroll 99 will remove the balance retry routine, and upon failure of balance, program
termination (No balance retries).
4.2 Reserved Cycles
4.2.1 Unroll 99 - Spin retry routine
On an out of balance condition, the EL6 will jump from the programmed spin to the Unroll 99
cycle. After Unroll 99 has completed, the EL6 starts back at the beginning of the spin cycle where
