WARNING
instructions appearing in this manual are not meant
to cover all possible conditions and situations that
may occur. It must be understood that common
sense, caution, and carefulness are factors which
cannot be built into these washer-extractors. These
factors MUST BE supplied by the person(s)
installing, maintaining, or operating the washerextractor.
Always contact the distributor, service agent, or the
manufacturer about any problems or conditions you do
not understand.
This control is an advanced, programmable computer
that lets the operator control machine features by
pressing a sequence of keypads. Refer to Figure 1.
The control allows the operator to obtain information
from the machine, run test cycles, modify the control’s
programmable features, set the service counters and
view the error code history. Refer to The Non-Active Menu section for a list of features.
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
washer-extractor has a good ground connection and
that all mechanical and electrical connections to the
control are made before applying power to or
operating the washer-extractor.
Glossary of Terms
Communications
The control may be programmed manually or by infrared communication with an external device.
Infra-red Communications
A PC allows the owner to program and retrieve
information from the control without using the
machine’s keypad, which greatly expands the
programming options available to the owner. However,
it is not required to program and operate the washerextractor. The operation of a PC and the advanced
features available are covered separately in the
instructions included with the PC programming
software, Cygnus Assist.
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.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress and the power fails, the water
will be drained from the machine and the door can be
opened after approximately 3 minutes. If the door is not
opened and the power failure is shorter than 2 weeks,
the washer-extractor will resume the previously active
cycle.
If the door is opened or if the length of the power failure
is longer than 2 weeks, the control will end the cycle
and the display will revert back to Start Mode.
The Selection keypads are used in various combinations
to obtain information from the machine, run wash
cycles, run test cycles, modify the control’s
programmable features, set the service counters and
view the error code history. These instructions cover
the manual programming and data retrieval options.
The control allows the washer-extractor’s operator to
program the control with the use of the keypad.
For details on programming select cycle options, refer to
the Advanced Functions Sub-menu section.
Viewing Control Information
The control will store information in its memory that
can be retrieved by pressing various combinations of
keypads. The control will record machine cycles and
hours of operation.
For more information, refer to the Logbook Sub-menu
section.
Testing Machine Components
By entering the Non-Active Menu’s Test Menu under
the Advanced Functions Sub-menu, the operator may
perform the following tests:
•Water Level Test
•Water Inlet Test
•Motor Test
•Temperature Sensor Test and Calibration
•Water Outlet Valve or Drain Pump Test
•Expansion Relay Test
•Rotation Sensor Door Lock and Out-Of-Balance
Switch Test
Rapid Advance Feature
This feature allows the operator to manually advance
through an active cycle. This feature is useful when
tests must be performed immediately on a washerextractor currently in an active cycle.
For detailed information on using the Rapid Advance
feature, refer to the Rapid Advance Feature section.
Communication Mode
This feature allows the control to communicate with a
PC equipped with the Cygnus Assist software using
infra-red communication. This allows the control to be
programmed and have its data read without using the
machine’s keypad.
For more detailed information on using the
Communication Mode feature, refer to the
Communication Mode section.
For detailed information, refer to the Test Menu
section under the Advanced Functions Sub-menu.
When power is applied to the washer-extractor, if the
control was not powered down during a running cycle,
it will enter Start Mode.
Start Mode
The control enters this mode when the machine is ready
for operation. The display will show the available
cycles.
After pressing the Start/Stop keypad with the door
closed and locked, the cycle will begin.
Run Mode
Upon the start of a cycle, the control displays detailed
information about the cycle and current phase.
Stop Mode
The control enters this mode if the operator ends the
cycle before it is completed by pressing the Start/Stop
keypad. Once the control does not detect water or
cylinder rotation, it will enter End of Cycle mode.
End of Cycle Mode
When a cycle is complete, the control will display
“End” until the door is opened. When the door is
opened, the control will return to Start Mode.
The Non-Active menu can be used to obtain
information from the machine, run test cycles, modify
the control’s programmable features, set the service
counters and view the error code history.
NOTE: To enter the Non-Active Menu, a cycle must
not be in process.
To enter the Non-Active Menu, press and hold the
keypad below the Menu icon.
