Preliminary Information

About the Control

The UniLinc control on the tumbler is an advanced, graphical, programmable computer that lets the owner control most machine features by interacting with the control.

UniLinc allows the owner to program custom cycles, run diagnostic cycles, and retrieve audit and error information.

Tumblers shipped from the factory have default cycles and other settings built in. The owner can change the default cycle or any cycle.

IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the tumbler has a positive ground and that all mechanical and electrical connections are made before applying power to or operating the tumbler.

Power Failure Recovery

If a cycle is in progress when the power fails, and if the power outage lasts three or more seconds, the cycle is lost and cannot be resumed when power recovers. If the power outage lasts less than three seconds, the control will resume the cycle when the power recovers.

Communications

Audit Information

The control collects and stores audit information, which can be accessed with a PDA, PC or network. Refer to the following list for some of the available audit information. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions.

• Total Number of Individual Cycle Counters

• Last 25 Machine Cycles

• Service History

• End of Cycle to Loading Door Open Time

• End of Cycle to Start of Next Cycle Time

• Total Number of Machine Cycles

• Total Number of Operating Minutes

• Power Failure Audit Data

The PDA, PC or network can receive audit and program data from the control, and send programming data and diagnostic commands to the control. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions for additional information.

Some of the above listed audit data is available manually. Refer to Laundry Management section.

The control has the ability to communicate with a PDA and a laptop with an IrDA device running the UniLinc software.

The control is ready for operation in Idle Mode. Control can display different menus depending on user input (keypad press, opening or closing the loading door, or PDA communication). If there is no user input for one minute, control will turn off the LCD backlight. The control will light when there is user input. If there is no user input for 10 minutes, the display will go blank.

If the control is in Idle Mode, Cycle Menu is displayed, loading and lint door closed, and the

keypad is pressed, control will enter Run Mode.

Run Mode

The Control enters Run Mode during a cycle. The Display shows machine cycle time remaining, the current cycle type, segment, temperature, and graphical indicators. Loading and lint doors are closed

during Run Mode. Press keypad to stop cycle and enter Pause Mode. Press keypad to enter

Run Diagnostic Menu. Control enters Pause Mode if loading or lint door opens. Press to Rapid

Advance.

Cycle Menu

There are 41 machine cycles that can be selected and run. Machine cycles can be modified or made “unavailable” by manually editing them in Modify Cycle Menu or by using the PDA or network to download a modified machine cycle into the control. Machine cycles cannot be deleted, but can be made “unavailable” so that they are not visible from the Cycle Menu. New machine cycles cannot be created, but existing machine cycles that have been edited to be “unavailable” may be re-edited to be available again.

Machine Cycle Operation

When a cycle is run, the control runs the cycle segment by segment in a sequence. First the control examines the Cycle Type chosen to determine if it is a Time Dry, Auto-Dry or Moisture Dry (if equipped) cycle type. Then the first segment is examined to see if it is programmed to “On” or “Off”. If the segment is programmed to “Off”, control skips to the next segment.

At the start of some machine cycles, the control displays a Total Remaining Cycle time. This time is taken from the machine cycles as they are programmed. The T otal Remaining Cycle Time begins to count down as soon as the cycle is started.

Rotation Sensor Equipped Machines

On machines equipped with a rotation sensor, the control monitors the rotation sensor to verify the cylinder is rotating. The control calculates the cylinder’s RPM. If the RPM drops to zero while the cylinder is supposed to be rotating, the control will advance to the Cool Down segment of the cycle and an error message will be displayed.

Cycle Menu

Time Dry Cycle

In this type of cycle, the control will regulate the temperature and time duration as programmed for the cycle chosen.

Auto-Dry Cycle

If this type of cycle is selected, the control determines the cycle time based on the temperature and dr yn e ss level programmed for the cycle chosen.

Moisture Dry Cycle (if equipped)

In this type of cycle, the control checks the programmed material type, programmed target moisture content, programmed temperature and the data received from the moisture sensing system to achieve the desire results.
