Programming Instructions

Programming can be accomplished manually using the machine
controls or by connecting to the machine control using a PDA
(personal digital assistant). For instructions on using a PDA with this
washer control, please contact your local Dexter distributor. Please
read below for manual programming instructions.

The washer has two levels of programming. The Washer Cycle
Programming allows the owner complete access to the wash cycle
parameters: add/remove a bath, bath times, spin times, water
temperatures, etc. The Coin/Price Programming allows the owner to
set the price for the washer features and the values of the coins. To enter the programming modes, the
top of the washer must be unlocked and slid toward the back of the washer a few inches.

Coin Price Programming

While the washer is in the Idle mode, push the Programming pushbutton on the controller. The Idle
mode is when the washer is not running a cycle and the price of the bath is displayed. The Programming
pushbutton is a very small buttoned located on the upper center of the controller directly behind the
display. There are seven stages in the Coin/Price Programming mode.

To step through to the desired stage, repeatedly push the Start button until the desired stage is blinking
on the display. To exit the Coin/Price programming mode, push and hold the Cold temperature button for
5 seconds.

#1 Right Coin: The display will blink fi rst an “r” indicating right coin and then a coin value ($1.00:

default). The display will blink back and forth between the “r” and the value. To change the value, use
the Hot temperature button to decrease and the Warm temperature button to increase. The value will
change in 1¢ steps. The range of values is from $00.00 to $99.99. When the desired right coin value
is displayed, push Start button once to store the new value and a second time to move to the next
Coin/Price programming step. To exit the Coin/Price programming mode, push the Cold temperature
button for 5 seconds.

#2 Left Coin: The display will blink fi rst a “L” indicating left coin and then a coin value ($0.25– default).

The display will blink back and forth between the “L” and the value. To change the value, use the
Hot temperature button to decrease and the Warm temperature button to increase. The value will
change in 1¢ steps. The range of values is from $00.00 to $99.99. When the desired left coin value is
displayed, push the Start button once to store the new value and a second time to move to the next
Coin/Price programming step. To exit the Coin/Price programming mode, push the Cold temperature
button for 5 seconds.

#3 Wash Price: The display will blink fi rst a “P” indicating wash price and then present wash price. The

display will blink back and forth between the “P” and the price. To change the value, use the Hot
temperature button to decrease and the Warm temperature button to increase. The value will change
in 1¢ steps. The range of values is from $00.00 to $99.99. When the desired price is displayed, push
the Start button once to store the new value and a second time to move to the next Coin/Price
programming step. To exit the Coin/Price programming mode, push the Cold temperature button for 5
seconds. FREE START can be set by dropping the wash price to $0.00.

Water Temperature Pricing

The washer can be set for different levels of pricing for Cold, Warm and Hot water. The Cold water setting
is considered as the base price, which is the normal washer cycle price.
