OVERVIEW
This manual provides instructions for selecting, installing, and configuring the Blackboard Laundry System, using the LC3000
Laundry Reader. Recommendations on selecting an installation location are included. Wiring diagrams show you how to connect the LC3000 Laundry System.
The LC3000 Laundry Reader activates and monitors washers and dryers across a laundry center network. The
LC3000 is designed to work with the Blackboard Transaction System (BbTS) and provides user interface through a
display, keypad, and mag-stripe reader. The network connections are 10/100 Base-T or RS-485.
The LC3000 supports new installations for wired or wireless laundry centers. Information for retrofits is available in the
“Appendix” on page 31.

Wired Solution
The wired solution supports up to 60 laundry machines (see Figure 1 below). In laundry centers with 20 or fewer
machines, you only need a single LCM20, which is installed inside the LC3000 enclosure. If your laundry center
supports more than 20 machines, a multiplexer (an LCM20) and an enclosure (LE3/PSENCL) are needed for each
additional set of 20 laundry machines. The LC3000 reader can support a maximum of three (3) multiplexers.
A machine interface (an LCI), which is a wiring harness that communicates with the laundry machine controller, is
connected to a cable within a multiplexer (LCM20). This machine interface must be installed in every laundry machine
to facilitate communication between the laundry machines and the LC3000 laundry reader unit. Several models of
machine interfaces are available. Use Table 1 (on page 8) to determine the correct machine interface (LCI) model
number, based on the manufacturer and model of your laundry machines.

Wireless Solution
The wireless solution supports up to 60 laundry machines, using a wireless bridge (L E3/BRIDGE). See Figure 2 below.
A laundry wireless interface (LWI) must be installed in every laundry machine to facilitate communication between the
laundry machines and the LC3000 Laundry Reader. The LWI includes a Wireless Interface Module and a wiring
harness. Several models of LWIs are available. Use Table 1 (on page 8) to select the correct LWI model numb er based
on the manufacturer and model of your laundry machines.

The Blackboard Laundry System can communicate with most computer-controlled (debit-ready) mach ine s. Th is
System includes the following components:
Laundry Reader (LC3000)
The Laundry Reader is a wall-mounted card reader with a vertical swipe mag-stripe card
reader. It includes a 15-key keypad and an LCD display. It features a keyed lock to secure the
inside of the unit, along with a hinged door to access the circuit boards.
Laundry Center Multiplexer (LCM20)
The Multiplexer communicates with the LC3000 and controls up to 20 laundry machines. Up to
three LCM20 Multiplexers can be connected to an LC3000 to control a maximum of 60 laundry
machines. The LC3000 communicates to an LCM20 over an RS-485 bus.
Enclosure (LE3/PSENCL)
External Multiplexers (LCM20s), the 2nd an d 3rd Multiplexers connected to an LC30 00, require
this enclosure for mounting

L AUNDRY SYSTEM INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Laundry Center Interface (LCI)
The LCI is a wiring harness that attaches to the control circuitry within the laundry machine.
There are several LCI models to support machines from different manufacturers and model
types.
Laundry Wireless Bridge (LE3/BRIDGE)
The Bridge provides a wireless connection between the LC3000 and laundry machines. It
communicates with the LC3000 over an RS-485 bus and communicates with LWIs within the
laundry machines over a wireless network.
Laundry Wireless Interface (LWI)
The LWI is a wiring harness installed inside the laundry machine and interfaces with the
machine controller. There are several models of LWIs to support machines from different
manufacturers and model types.

LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION
Select a mounting method based on the application and the network mode of the reader. The LC3000 enclosure is
designed to mount on a wall: it can be flush-mounted (wiring can come from the interior of the wall); or it can be
surface-mounted (wiring can run through conduit on the exterior of the wall).
LC3000 Mounting Location Considerations
Use the following criteria to select the best mounting location for the LC3000:
Connect to 120 VAC @ 60 Hz. Connect only to a 15A maximum branch circuit protection or equivalent.
Use a circuit breaker or switch to disconnect power when installing or removing the LC3000.
• 120VAC power a vailability
• Network communications availability (RS-485 or 10/100 Base T)
• Wiring distance limitations
RS-485 Communications 4000' total per loop
10/100 Base-T Communications 300'
• Ease of cable routing to Laundry machines (if wired configuration)
• Installation height regulations
Mounting Requirements
Mounting hardware, .25” appropriate to surface.

Before mounting the enclosure, remove all
necessary knockouts to route wires and/or attach
conduits.
Remove only the knockouts required for your
installation.
• All knockouts are dimensioned for 1/2” conduit
fittings.
Flush-mounted enclosure: If installing a wired
laundry center, route machine wires through the
“3x3” cutout.
Surface-mounted enclosure: Remove conduit
knockouts, located on the top and bottom of the
enclosure, to route wire to the laundry machines.
• The enclosure provides two knockouts, in the upper
right, for power.
Flush-mounted enclosure: Remove the knockout
on the back side.
Surface-mounted enclosure: Remove the
knockout on the top.

Protect power supply from debris while mounting the
enclosure.
2 Secure the enclosure to a wall using hardware
appropriate for the wall material.
Mounting holes accept up to 1/4” hardware.
Disconnect external AC power when installing any
wiring.

3 Strip back the insulation on the AC wire .28" to prevent bare wire from being exposed when installed in the AC
terminal block.
4 Install the appropriate wires into the AC terminal block, as shown in Figure 4, tighten the screws to 5 - 7 in-lbs., and
replace power supply cover.
Ensure all 120VAC wiring is confined within the po wer supply comp artment when the cover is reinst alled to
maintain UL compliance.
5 Reconnect external AC power.
Maintain 1/4" separation from AC wiring to other wiring.
6 Connect to Network.
The LC3000 board provides both 10/100 Base-T TCP/IP and RS-485 network connections for communications
with the BbTS (NP, Network Processor). Select a connection based on the local network.
Once you connect the LC3000 to the network, configu re th e L C300 0 for the networ k. Re fe r to the LC3000
Laundry Reader Configuration (page 13) for details on configuring the unit.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER CONFIGURATION
Configuration Methods
The Laundry Reader must be configured to interface with the BbTS network. Configure the Reader using either the
front panel of the Reader or the configuration port (see Figure 5: LC3000 Laundry Reader Configuration (page 13).
Future configuration modifications can be one using Telnet, if enabled.
Default Settings
The LC3000 Controller Unit default settings are:
• DHCP enabled
• NP (host) IP address assigned by DHCP server
Configure the LC3000 Laundry Reader to interface with BbTS, using one of three modes:
• Front Panel Keyboard
• Config Port - provides for RS-232 connection to a computer with Hyperterminal software
• Telnet via IP if using Ethernet connections
