Safety

Safe Operating Environment

Safe operation requires an appropriate operating environment for both the operator and the machine. If questions regarding safety arise, contact the factory immediately.

Environmental Conditions

• Ambient Temperature. Water in the

machine will freeze at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or below.

Temperatures above 120°F (50°C) will result in more frequent motor overheating and, in some cases, malfunction or premature damage to solid state devices that are used in some models. Special cooling devices may be necessary.

Water pressure switches are affected by increases and decreases in temperature. Every 25°F (10°C) change in temperature will have a 1% effect on the water level.

• Humidity. Relative humidity above 90%

may cause the machine’s electronics or motors to malfunction or may trip the ground fault interrupter. Corrosion problems may occur on some metal components in the machine.

be evaluated periodically. Louvers, screens, or other separating devices may reduce the available air opening significantly.

•

Radio Frequency Emissions. A filter is

available for machines in installations where floor space is shared with equipment sensitive to radio frequency emissions.

• Elevation. If the machine is to be operated at elevations of over 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) above sea level, pay special attention to water levels and electronic settings (particularly temperature) or desired results may not be achieved.

Chemicals. Keep stainless steel surfaces

•

free of chemical residues.

DANGER

Do not place volatile or flammable fluids in any machine. Do not clean the machine with volatile or flammable fluids such as acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene, naptha, etc. Doing so could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

SW002

If the relative humidity is below 30%, belts and rubber hoses may eventually develop dry rot. This condition can result in hose leaks, which may cause safety hazards external to the machine in conjunction with adjacent electrical equipment.

Ventilation. The need for make-up air

•

Installation

This manual is designed as a guide to the installation and maintenance of the 18-pound and 25-pound capacity freestanding washer-extractors.

Note: All information, illustrations, and

specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of printing. We reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Machine Overview

The design of these machines emphasizes performance and long service life. The cylinder, shell, and main body panels are fabricated of stainless steel.

These machines feature the V-Series microcomputer which offers preprogrammed cycles and programming versatility in the field.

to tumble back into the bath. This mechanical action accomplishes the cleaning function. The cylinder is perforated, allowing the water to drain from within during the wash and extract steps.

Water enters the machine through electromechanical water valves, which are controlled by the V-computer. The computer also controls the supply dispenser, drain, and door lock, and selects water levels according to the programmed cycle.

Electrical controls for the machine are housed in a separate enclosure located underneath the top cover of the machine.

The supply dispenser is located on top of the machine. The supply dispenser compartments are accessed by lifting the rubber cover. These compartments accept powder or liquid supplies. Each compartment is controlled independently by the V-computer, and is energized independently of other compartments.

The AC inverter drive control provides programmable motor speeds, using a single motor. This makes it possible to achieve ultra-high extract speeds.

The cylinder is supported by two deep groove, sealed, permanently lubricated bearings. The cylinder is constructed with lifters or ribs that lift the laundry from the bath solution when the cylinder rotates at slow speed and then allow it

F232060

A door-lock system prevents opening of the door when water is in the machine. It also prevents operation of the machine when the door is open. The door lock system contains the door-lock microswitch, output voltage interlock magnetic switch, and the door unlock solenoid.

2. Remove the wood skid by unscrewing the carriage bolts holding it to the bottom frame of the machine.

3. Carefully place the machine over the anchor bolts. Raise and level it 1/2 inch above the floor on three points, using spacers such as nut fasteners.

4. Fill the spaces between the machine base and floor with machinery grout. Grout completely under all frame members. Remove front and rear panels to gain access to all frame members. Force grout under the machine base until all voids are filled.

5. Remove the spacers carefully, allowing the machine to settle into the wet grout.

6. Position washers and locknuts on machinery anchor bolts and fingertighten to machine base.

7. After the grout is completely dry, tighten the locknuts by even increments – one after the other – until all are tightened evenly and the machine is fastened securely to the floor.

8. Remove the four red transport brackets which secure the moving components of the machine during shipping. See Figure 7 for typical transport bracket locations on 18-pound and 25-pound capacity freestanding models.

Water inlet connection size, in (mm) 3/4 NH (G 3/4)

Number of water inlets (standard) 2

Recommended pressure psi (bar) 30 – 85 (2 – 5.7)

Inlet flow capacity, gal-min (l-min) (80 psi)

Connections should be supplied by a hot and a cold water line of at least the sizes shown in the Water Supply Line Sizing table. Installation of additional machines will require proportionately larger water lines. See table.

To connect water service to machine with rubber hoses, use the following procedure:

12 (45)

Suitable air cushions should be installed in supply lines to prevent “hammering.” If the water pressure is above 60 psi, flexible copper tubing should be used in place of rubber hoses.

1. Before installing hoses, flush the water system for at least two minutes.

2. Check filters in the washer-extractor’s inlet hoses for proper fit and cleanliness before connecting.

3. Hang the hoses in a large loop; do not allow them to kink.

If additional hose lengths are needed, use flexible hoses with screen filters. Each hose should have a screen filter installed to keep rust and other foreign particles out of the water inlet valves.

Pressure of 30 – 85 psi (2 – 5.7 bar) provides best performance. Although the washerextractor will function properly at lower pressures, increased fill times will occur.

WARNING

Electrical Installation

The AC inverter drive requires a clean power supply free from voltage spikes and surges. A voltage monitor should be used to check incoming power. The customer’s local power company may provide such a monitor.

If input voltage measures above 230V for a 200V drive or above 440V for a 400V drive, ask the power company to lower the voltage. As an alternative, a step-down transformer kit is available from the distributor. Voltages above 250V and 490V require additional measures. Contact the distributor or the manufacturer for assistance.

WARNING

Never touch terminals or components of the AC inverter drive unless power is disconnected and the “READY” indicator LED is off. The AC inverter drive retains potentially deadly voltage for some time after the power is disconnected. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the AC inverter drive. Tampering with the drive will void the warranty.

SW009

DANGER

When controlling the AC inverter drive with a parameter unit, the machine’s computer and its safety features are bypassed. This would allow the basket to rotate at high speeds with the door open. When using a parameter unit to control the AC inverter drive, a large sign should be placed on the front of the machine warning people of the imminent danger.

SW003

Installation

The AC drive provides overload protection for the drive motor. However, a separate threephase circuit breaker or single-phase circuit breaker (if machine is a single-phase model) must be installed for complete electrical overload protection. This circuit breaker must disconnect all poles when in the open position. This prevents damage to the motor by disconnecting all legs if one should be lost accidentally. Check the data plate on the back of the washer-extractor or consult the Electrical Specifications chart in this subsection for circuit breaker requirements.

Note: Do NOT use fuses in place of a circuit

breaker.

CAUTION

Do not use a phase adder on any variablespeed machine.

SW037

Use wire sizes indicated in the Electrical Specifications chart for runs up to 50 feet. Use next larger size for runs of 50 to 100 feet. Use 2 sizes larger for runs greater than 100 feet.

For personal safety and for proper operation, the washer-extractor must be grounded in accordance with state and local codes. If such codes are not available, grounding must conform with the National Electric Code, article 250-95. The ground connection must be made to a proven earth ground, not to conduit or water pipes.

If a delta supply system is used, the high leg may be connected to L3 on the cabinet freestanding models as all machines are equipped with control transformers.

Note: Timers or similar devices that could

switch off the machine automatically are not to be installed, whether in the machine’s supply circuit or elsewhere.

The washer-extractor should be connected to an individual branch circuit not shared with lighting or other equipment.

The connection should be shielded in a liquidtight or approved flexible conduit with proper conductors of correct size installed in accordance with the National Electric Code or other applicable codes. The connection must be made by a qualified electrician using the wiring diagram provided with the washerextractor, or according to accepted European standards for CE-approved equipment.
