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 machines.
These factors MUST BE supplied by the person(s)
installing, maintaining, or operating the machine.
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 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
mech a ni c al and electrical connections to the contr ol
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.
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 infrared 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 o ther external
devices.
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.
SELECT CYCLE pads are used to select the specific
washer cycle. These pads are numbered 0-9 and allow
the user to select a cycle other than the default cycle
(#5). The SELECT CYCLE keypads are not active
after a cycle has been started. Pressing the flashing
START pad will confirm the selection and the cycle
will begin.
The SELECT CYCLE pads are used in va rious
combinations for programming cycles, retrieving audit
information, running diagnostic tests, and other
operations. These instructions cover the manual
programming and data retrieval options.

the cycle and will remain lit until the rinse is complete.
SPIN LED
Spin LED is lit during the Final Spin portion of the
cycle.
DOOR LED
Door LED is lit whenever the door is locked.
Four 7-Segment Digits
The 7-Segment Digits are used to display the time
remaining in a cycle, error messages and descriptive
codes. During diagnostic testing or manual
programming of the control, these digits will display
descriptive codes and values (as described in Entering the Manual Mode).
When power is applied to the machine, the control will
display its software version as “S xx” (“xx” is the
version number) for one second. If the control was not
powered down during a running cycle, it will enter
Star t Mode.
Door Locking Mode
The control enters this mode after the START (enter)
keypad is pressed in Start Mode. The control stays in
Door Locking Mode until it confirms the door is
closed and locked.
Stop Mode
The control enters this mode if the user stops the cycle
by pressing the STOP keypad. If control does not
detect water or cylinder rotation it will enter End Of
Cycle Mode.
Start Mode
The control enters this mode when machine is ready
for operation. The display will show “CYxx” where
“xx” is the cycle number.
After pressing the START keypad, with the door
closed and locked, the cycle will begin. The cycle
cannot be changed once the cycle has st arte d.
Run Mode
The control enters this mode when a cycle is running.
The time remaining appears in the display , the status
LED’s are lit and the loading door is locked.
Signals
There are two options when a signal can be used during
the machine operation. These two options are listed
below:
1. End of Cycle Signal
By default, this signal is turned off. If turned on, the
signal sounds for three (3) seconds at the end of a
cycle.
2. Signal On Keypad Depression
By default, this signal is turned on and sounds for
a quarter of a second each time a keypad is pressed.
NOTE: Refer to Programming Control to program
signal options.
End of Cycle Mode
When a cycle is complete, the control will display “00”
and will prompt for door unlock by flashing STOP/
UNLOCK LED until the machine door is unlocked and
opened. When this event occurs, the display will revert
back to Start Mode.
Cycle Sequence
Upon the start of a cycle, the control will display the
total cycle time. The appropriate LEDs will light while
the machine passes through different cycle steps. The
user will not be able to change cycles or water
temperature.
The control allows the machine owner to program the
control with the use of the keypad. Cycle options may
be programmed, audit information may be viewed and
diagnostic tests may be run by pressing combinations
of the select cycle keypads.
For details on programming select cycle options, refer to
Programming Control.
Collecting Audit Information
The control will store audit information in its memory
that can be retrieved by pressing various combinations
of Select Cycle keyp a d s . The control will record total
machine cycles.
