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. Refer to Figure 1.
The control allows the owner to program custom
cycles, retrieve audit information, run diagnostic tests,
and other programmable features. Refer to
Programming Control for a list of features. Machines
shipped from the factory have a default cycle of Cycle
#5 built in. However, the owner can change the default
cycle, 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 programmed until the electrical power
is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the
machine has a good ground connection and that all
mechanical and electrical connections to the control
are made before applying power to or operating the
machine.
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 for less
than five seconds, the cycle status is saved in memory.
When the power recovers, the machine will resume
into the previously active cycle.
If the length of the power failure is greater than five
seconds, the control will end the cycle and the display
will revert back to Start Mode.
Communications
The control may be programmed manually or by infra-
red communication with an external device.
Infra-red Communications
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 options available to
the owner. However, it 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 approved PDAs and other external
devices.
