NOTE: The WARNING and IMPORTANT
Failure to install, maintain, and/or operate
this machine according to the
manufacturer's instructions may result in
conditions which can produce bodily
injury and/or property damage.
W030
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 dryers. These factors
MUST BE supplied by the person(s) installing,
maintaining, or operating the dryer.
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 machine features by
pressing a sequence of SELECT CYCLE pads. Refer
to Figure 1.
The control allows the owner to program custom
cycles, set vend prices, retrieve audit information, run
diagnostic tests, program special vend features and
other programmable features. Refer to Programming Control for a list of features. Dryers shipped from the
factory have a default cycle (MED TEMP) 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 (for up to 10 years) until
the electrical power is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the
dryer has a positive ground and that all mechanical
and electrical connections to the control are made
before applying power to or operating the dryer.
Glossary of Terms
The following are a few terms and abb reviations 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.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) – This term refers to the
lights next to the keypads and status words of
the control.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress and the power fails, the cycle
status is saved in memory. When the power recovers,
the dryer will resume into the previously active cycle
(if so programmed by the owner), by pressing the
START pad. If the power failure occurs while the
control is in a fatal error mode, it will return to Ready
Mode upon recovery.
The owner may program a special feature called
POWER FAIL RESET which sets a maximum power
failure duration. To program this feature, refer to
Programming Control, option 28.
If the length of the power failure is greater than the
POWER FAIL RESET time, the control will end the
cycle and the display will revert back to the Ready
Mode rather than resume the previously active cycle.
If the length of the power failure is less than the
POWER FAIL RESET time and the power failure is
greater than 2 seconds, or the POWER FAIL RESET
is turned off, the dryer will enter START mode.
Communications
The control may be programmed manually, by
infra-red with an external device or by the network. A
limited number of features can be programmed by a
card reader.
Infra-red Communications (Optional)
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, the external device is not required
to program and operate the dryer. 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
other external devices.
Serial Card Reader Communications
(Card Models Only)
The control will accept communication with a serial
card reader in order to perform vending transactions
when a card is inserted to pay for cycles. The card
reader can also allow the owner to program and collect
audit information.
For detailed information on serial card reader
communications, refer to instructions included with
card reader.
Network Communications
The control will also accept communication with a
network interface board which allows the control to be
linked to a personal computer. This network link
allows an owner to program, collect data and run
diagnostics on any machine.
For detailed information on network communications,
refer to the network instructions.
SELECT CYCLE pads are used to select the specific
dryer cycle and temperature. These pads include
HIGH TEMP, MED TEMP, LOW TEMP,
DELICATES and NO HEAT. The selection of one of
these cycles will light up the corresponding LED. The
factory default cycle is MED TEMP.
START Pad
(Refer to Figure 1)
The START pad is used to start the dryer after the full
vend price has been satisfied and the dryer door is closed.
Both the START pad and the SELECT CYCLE pads are
used in various combinations for programming cycles,
retrieving audit information, running diagnostic tests,
and other operations. During an active cycle (card reader
equipped machines only), the START pad may be
pressed (with a card inserted) to add time to a cycle.

5LED Light
6LED Status Lights
LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LEDs) are used to
indicate the chosen temperature and cycle status. See
below for information on each LED.
INSERT COINS/CARD LED
The INSERT COINS/CARD LED is lit to prompt the
user to insert coins or a card to satisfy the vend price
for the chosen cycle. The LED is lit during the
“Ready” mode. During Partial and Additional Vend,
the LED flashes one second on and one second off.
The INSERT COINS/CARD LED will shut off when
the vend price has been satisfied.
START LED
The START pad LED flashes whenever the dryer is
not in a cycle, the full vend price has been satisfied,
and the dryer door is closed. When the START pad is
pressed, the cycle will begin or resume. The START
LED will shut off when the START pad is pressed.
The START LED will also flash any time a card is
inserted to add time to the current cycle.
COOL DOWN LED
The COOL DOWN LED is lit whenever the COOL
DOWN portion of a heated cycle is active. It is also lit
when the NO HEAT cycle is in operation. The COOL DOWN LED will shut off when a cycle ends or more
time is added, pushing the cycle back into the heated
portion of a cycle.
Four 7-Segment Digits
The 7-SEGMENT DIGITS are used to display the
time remaining in a cycle, vend price, 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).
DRYING LED
The DRYING LED is lit to indicate that one of the
heated cycles (HIGH TEMP, MED TEMP, LOW
TEMP, DELICATES) is currently in operation. The
DRYING LED goes off at the end of a heated cycle, if
the heated cycle is changed to a NO HEAT cycle, or
when the COOL DOWN cycle begins.
When power is applied to the dryer, the control
becomes active and will display its software version as
“SXX” (“XX” is the version number) for one second
and then the subversion as “XX” (if subversion isn’t
zero) for one second. If the control was not powered
down during a running cycle, it will enter the Ready
Mode.
Ready Mode
In Ready Mode, the default cycle LED is lit, and the
full vend price is displayed.
The user may select a different cycle, if desired. If the
vend price is not satisfied within 4.25 minutes, the
dryer control will return to the Ready Mode. The
display will continue to show the remaining vend
needed to start a cycle.
Partial Vend Mode
The control enters this mode when part of the vend
price has been entered, but not enough vend is entered
to satisfy the vend price. The control will display the
remaining vend price needed to start the cycle and the
INSERT COINS/CARD LED is lit.
Start Mode
Vends may be satisfied by a coin drop, start pulses, or
by a third party card reader. If a coin drop is used, the
remaining vend price will decrease with each coin
entry. If start pulses are used, the remaining vend price
will decrease with each received pulse. Once the vend
is satisfied, the START LED will begin to flash and
signal will sound for ten seconds. If a third party card
reader is used, the START LED will begin to flash
when a valid cash card is entered into the reader.
When the START keypad is pressed, the dryer will
start. The START LED will stop flashing and either
the DRYING LED or the COOL DOWN LED will be
lit. The display will change to show the remaining
cycle time on the display. The DRYING LED will be
lit during the heat portion of a heat cycle. The COOL
DOWN LED will be lit during the cool down portion
of a heat cycle and during an entire no heat cycle.
When a cycle is complete, the display will show “00”
until the door is opened, a key is pressed, a coin or
card is entered, or a start pulse is received. When any
of the above happens, the display will revert back to
the Ready Mode.
Entering Coins
Additional Vend Mode
The control enters this mode if the cycle is changed to
a cycle that requires more money. If the vend price is
not satisfied within 60 seconds, the control will go
back to the first selection and the cycle will continue.
Coins are entered to satisfy the programmed vend
price for a selected cycle. Coins may be entered before
selecting a cycle or during an active cycle. When coins
are entered during an active cycle, the time remaining
is increased by the amount programmed by the owner
(refer to Programming Control).
The owner may choose to add additional time for each
coin entered. If coins are entered for an active cycle
currently in the COOL DOWN Mode, coins entered
may push the cycle back into the DRYING Mode. The
maximum time for any cycle is 99 minutes.
A card is entered to satisfy the programmed vend price
for a selected cycle. The card may be entered before
selecting a cycle or during an active cycle. When the
card is entered during an active cycle and the START
keypad is pressed, the time remaining is increased by
the amount programmed by the owner. Refer to
Programming Control section.
The owner may choose to add additional time by
deducting a vend from the card or may require an
additional full vend price be deducted from the card. If
vend is deducted during an active heated cycle that is
currently in the COOL DOWN Mode, the additional
time added may put the cycle back into the DRYING
Mode. The maximum time for any cycle is 99 minutes.
Additional time cannot be added if it exceeds the
99 minute limit on a drying cycle.
Changing Active Cycles
In OPL machines, the active cycle may be changed at
any time during dryer operation. In vend machines, the
active cycle may be changed in the first five minutes
for more expensive cycles. Cycles that are the same
price or less expensive can be chosen anytime. The
last five minutes of cycle can be changed with no
change to vend or time remaining.
Signals
There are six instances when a signal may sound
during dryer operation. The owner may program the
signal to be turned on or off (refer to Programming Control, option 9). These six instances are listed
below:
1. End of Cycle Signal
By default, this signal is turned off. If turned on,
the signal will sound for three seconds at the end
of a cycle.
2. Keypad Depression Signal
The signal will sound for a quarter of a second
each time a keypad is pressed.
3. Coin Input/Start Pulse Input/Card Insertion
Signal
The signal will sound for a quarter of a second
each time a coin or start pulse is received or a
card is entered.
4. Remove Card Signal
This signal will sound one second on and one
second off while the control prompts for card
removal.
5. Start Pad Flashing Signal
Opening the Dryer Door
Opening the dryer door in a running cycle will
automatically stop the cycle. When the dryer door is
opened, the DRYING LED or COOL DOWN LED is
turned off.
NOTE: When the door is opened during an active
cycle, the time will continue to count down and the
display will toggle every five seconds between
showing “door” and the remaining cycle time.
Once the dryer door is closed, the START pad LED
flashes at one second intervals until the START pad is
pushed. Pressing the START pad will start or resume
the active cycle.
This signal will sound one second on and one
second off when the START LED is flashing, for
the first ten seconds after vend has been satisfied.
6. Extended Tumble Mode Signal
This signal cannot be disabled. While in
extended tumble mode, the signal will sound one
second on and one second off for five seconds
and then continuously for five seconds before
starting the extended tumble.
Extended Tumble Mode
The control enters Extended Tumble Mode twenty
minutes after a cycle has ended. The signal will sound
one second on and one second off for five seconds and
then continuously for five seconds before starting the
extended tumble, which lasts two minutes, every hour,
for up to 18 hours. Extended Tumble Mode ends with
any user interaction.
The control allows the dryer owner to program the
control with the use of the keypad. Cycle and vend
information may be programmed, audit information
may be viewed and diagnostic tests may be run by
pressing keypad combinations.
For details on programming cycle and vend information,
refer to Programming Control.
Collecting Audit Information
The control will store audit information in its memory
that can be retrieved by pressing various keypad
combinations. The control will record coins entered,
total machine cycles, top-offs, and total start pulses.
