The common operating modes are detailed in the following charts. The 7100 can be powered up in two different modes: normal mode (default), and maintenance mode. The normal mode is used for primary operation of the machine.
2. The machine will delay a few seconds and the squeegee will start to raise. 3. The vacuum fan will turn off after a slight delay. 4-90 7100 330695 (8−11)
Pressing the squeegee button while the squeegee LED is on will cause the following actions: 1. The squeegee LED will turn off. 2. The squeegee will raise. 3. The vacuum fan will turn off after a slight delay. 4-91 7100 330695 (8−11)
LED, the key switch must be cycled or the scrub function can be toggled on or off. At this point, if the solution low float switch remains ungrounded for more than three seconds, the solution low indicator will turn on again. 4-92 7100 330695 (8−11)
HOUR METER The hour meter logs hours if the machine is in one of the following modes. 1. Propelling 2. Vacuum fans running. 4-93 7100 330695 (8−11)
Page 262
ELECTRICAL INTERLOCKS The 7100 has several interlocks which can inhibit or cancel machine functions. D REVERSE − If the board does not sense an active forward sense (P4−6) or neutral sense (P4−12), the controller board will assume reverse. When this happens the following function will become inhibited: −SQUEEGEE will rise.
Page 263
ELECTRICAL D FULL RECOVERY TANK − The 7100 will cancel the following functions if the recovery tank float switch is turned on: THE CONTROLLER will cancel scrub and squeegee operations, as if someone toggled the scrub or squeegee buttons. THE TANK FULL LED will start to blink. This message will not turn off by simply emptying the recovery tank.
The Self Test Mode tests each of the following controller board functions: 1. Squeegee actuator. 2. Scrub head actuator. 3. Scrub brush motor current. 4. Hour meter output. 5. Water valve output. 6. ESt pump output. 7. Scrub brush contactor output. 4-96 7100 330695 (8−11)
Page 265
14. Cycle and test the Hour meter output. 15. Cycle and test the water valve output. 16. The ES/FaST and squeegee LEDs will flash green for system passed, turn on the overflow light (red) or solution empty LED (red) for system failed. 4-97 7100 330695 (8−11)
ESt self test passed − − Blinking − Self test failed − − − Blinking ESt self test failed ESt OUTPUT GROUP, ESt BUTTON PRESSED PRESSURE 2 PRESSURE 3 PRESSURE 1 ERROR On steady − − ESt pump output 4-99 7100 330695 (8−11)
Once the scrub system is turned off, pressing and holding the scrub button will again move the head actuator downward as described above. 4-100 7100 330695 (8−11)
ESt BUTTON (Tennant machines only) Pressing the ESt button will toggle the ESt pump on or off. In the on position, the ESt pump will run regardless of the state of the floats.
ELECTRICAL INTERLOCKS The operator can start and stop the various functions of the 7100 scrubber using a variety of closures and interlocks. What follows are two tables for each of the three basic scrubbing functions (Scrub brushes, Squeegee/vacuum fan, and ESt pump). One table lists the actions required for the basic function to be running.
ESt PUMP INHIBITED BY: INDICATOR D ESt button D ESt LED off D More than 30 seconds has passed since the ESt float has become uncovered D Solution tank full float covered for more than 5 seconds 4-103 7100 330695 (8−11)
Battery 3.−When the battery 3 LED is on, the controller senses neutral. (P4−12 low) Battery 4.−When the battery 4 LED is on, there is power sensed on the outputs of both brush motor circuit breakers. (P4−10 high) 4-104 7100 330695 (8−11)
Page 273
(P4−2 low) Solution − When the solution empty LED is on, the solution tank empty float is active. (P4−8 high) (Tennant only) Pressure 1.−When the pressure 1 LED is on, the scrub is active, and the brush current detected is below the minimum level for the selected pressure setting.
2. Keep holding the squeegee button until scrub pressure LED#3 is lit and then release 3. Press and release the scrub button until scrub pressure LED#1 is on. 4. Press and release the squeegee key. 4-106 7100 330695 (8−11)
(i.e. − if it flashes 0 times, the year is 2000 and if it flashes 1 time, the year is 2001) 4. This sequence of 2 or 3 LEDs will continue flashing until the key switch is turned off. 4-107 7100 330695 (8−11)
During normal operation, with no faults present, the Status LED is steadily on. If the controller detects a fault, the status LED flashes a 2−digit fault identification code continuously until the fault is corrected (see table below). 4-108 7100 330695 (8−11)
