LC3000 LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION
LC3000 LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION
This manual provides instructions for selecting, installing, and configuring the
Blackboard Laundry Center using the LC3000 Laundry Reader.
The LC3000 Laundry Reader controls laundry machines across a laundry Center
network and Blackboard Transaction System (BbTS) and communicates with users
interface through a display, keypad, and mag-stripe reader. The network connections
are 10/100 Base-T or RS-485, machine connections are wired or wireless.
Laundry Readers connecting to a Universal Edition Host in RS-485 mode require
an IP Converter (IPC).
Universal Edition using RS-485 network connections DOES NOT support wireless
communications with laundry machines.
Wired Solution
The wired solution reader supports up to 60 laundry machines across three connected Multiplexers. The first
Multiplexer is installed inside the LC3000.
Each machine uses a Laundry Controller Interface (LCI), a wiring harness inside the machine, to facilitate
communications between the laundry machine controller and LC3000 Laundry Reader.

Wireless Solution
Up to 60 laundry machines can be connected wirelessly to the LC3000 using a Wireless Bridge (LE3/BRIDGE). Each
Bridge communicates with laundry machines within 60 feet. Multiple Wireless Bridges can be used if stone or metal
obstructions reduce the range. Each laundry machine connects to a Laundry Wireless Interface installed inside the
machine. The Laundry Wireless Interface (LWI), a wiring harness and wireless module, facilitates communications
between a laundry machine and the LC3000 Laundry Reader, via the Wireless Bridge.

LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION
The LC3000 Laundry Reader must be mounted on a wall in a location that is convenient to cardholders and wiring
requirements.
LC3000 Mounting Location Considerations
• 120 VAC power availability
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.
• 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' from the network switch port
• Ease of cable routing to laundry machines (if wired configuration)
• Installation height regulations
• Cardholder convenience
Prepare Enclosure
The Reader can be mounted flush to the wall with wiring
behind the wall; or it can be surface-mounted with wiring in
conduit exterior of the wall. Before mounting the enclosure,
remove knockouts necessary for routing wires and/or attaching
conduits. Remove only the knockouts required for your
installation.
• AC power knockouts accept 1/2'' conduit fittings.
• All other knockouts accept 3/4'' conduit fittings.
• Two power knockouts are provided in the upper right.
Mounting hardware required: .25” appropriate to surface.
Flush-mount: route machine wires, if wired, through the 3''
x 3'' cutout.
Surface-mount: Remove conduit knockouts on the top
and bottom of the enclosure for routing wire to machines.
Flush-mount: Remove the knockout on the back side.
Surface-mount: Remove the knockout on the top.

Install the LC3000 Enclosure
1 Inside the LC3000, remove the power supply cover to access the upper
right mounting hole.
Protect power supply from debris while mounting the enclosure.
2 Secure enclosure to a wall using hardware appropriate to wall material.
Mounting holes accept up to 1/4'' hardware.
Disconnect external AC power when installing wiring.
3 Strip back insulation on AC wire .28" to prevent bare wire exposure
when installed in AC terminal block.
4 Install wires into the AC terminal block as shown in Figure 5, tighten
the screws to 5 - 7 in-lbs., and replace power supply cover.
Ensure 120VAC wiring is confined within power supply compartment when cover
is reinstalled to maintain UL compliance.
5 Reconnect external AC power.
6 Connect to Network.
The LC3000 provides for both 10/100 Base-T, TCP/IP and RS-485 BbTS network
connections.
Once you connect the LC3000 to the network, configure the LC3000 for the
network (LC3000 Laundry Reader Configuration (page 7).)
