Steam Connection; External Dosing (Option) - GIRBAU HS-6013 Installation Instructions Manual

3.4. Steam connection

In some models the body of the steam solenoid valve and the filter are shipped inside the drum of the washing
machine, separate from the electrical wiring system. The coil is connected to the end of the electrical installation.
In other models, the assembly solenoid valve and filter are supplied connected to the electrical wiring system.
Installation characteristics
Before connecting the installation to the solenoid valve, purge the pipe conduits.
Place a mechanically lockable flow valve in the steam inlet in an accessible place.
Check dimensions and connection diameters in the Installation specs (section 1.4).
Assembly and solenoid valve connection
SEAL ALL THREADED UNIONS WITH A PRODUCT WHICH IS APPROPRIATE FOR STEAM PIPE
CONDUITS.
Respect the steam circulation direction indicated by an
arrow on each part.
The coil has been previously removed from shipping position
or disconnected from the solenoid valve (according to
shipping braces)
The electrical wiring must be fastened to the cut out VE on
the rear cover (see Fig. 1.2 and section 1.4).
Place the solenoid valve on the end of the steam inlet pipe
of the machine.
Machines in USA/Canada: place the small steam inlet hose
(Fig. 3.7/A) to the filter inlet.
Connect the steam supply of the installation to the washer
inlet.
Safeguard the installation against accidental contact. It is
advisable to insulate the installation to prevent heat loss.
Place the coil on the solenoid valve body and fasten it with
the core end screw.
Open the manual valve and check for leaks in the
installation.

3.5. External dosing (option)

The washer can communicate with external dosing
equipment via electrical signals produced by the closure of relay contacts during wash cycle.
These relays are mounted on the board A4, located in the electrical supply input box, at the rear of the washer.
The relay contacts close the circuit between a COMMON input and the four outputs corresponding to each one
of the dosing that the washer program runs.
The connection of the signal conductors is made on the various terminals of the terminal strip X6 (board A4).
The icons on the label associated with the X6 terminal strip indicate the correspondence between each of the
dosing and the terminals.
According to the characteristics of the external dosing equipment, two different connections can be used:
o dry contacts: see section 3.5.1.c.
o powered output signals, from the control washer circuit: see section 3.5.d. (power supply: 200...240V;
50/60Hz according to the washing machine).
Refer to the electrical connection specifications in the INSTALLATION SPECS, section 1.4.
