Programming the Water Level:
Water level Limits
See "Water Setting Values for Different Washers" because
n
these values are different for each Machine Type.
The minimum value is above the temperature sensor.
n
The maximum value is half the washer drum.
n
Normal Low Level, Normal High Level
The Normal Low Level is recommended for the PREWASH,
n
WASH, and SOAK sequences.
The Normal High Level is recommended for the RINSE and
n
FINAL RINSE Sequences.
At the Cool Down sequence, the washer computer makes use
n
of a low water level and is draining the water automatically.
At the Spray sequence, the Drain valve stays open.
n
Wet Cleaning selection Configuration Menu
It is possible to program a level below default minimum
n
programmable level. (See table A-3).
NOTE: Normal high water level is recommended for woolens
and delicate linens.
Programming the Wash Speed:
Standard reversing Wash Speed is between 40 and 50 RPM
n
(see table A-5).
For some special applications the drum should only turn
n
very slowly.
Speed Limits:
The minimum programmable Wash Speed is 10 RPM.
n
The maximum programmable Wash Speed is 40–60 RPM,
n
depending on washer size.
Programming Extraction Speed:
See Table A-5 for maximum and minimum spin speeds. The
n
limits differ depending on the maximum allowed g-force at high
spin for each Machine Type.
Extraction = 150–1165 RPM
n
Between 90 and 150 RPM (verify exact value in table A-5)
n
the washer computer is not allowed to program a steady
speed, to avoid excessive vibration.
Speed Limits
Refer to table A-5 for minimum and maximum speed limits.
n
The limits differ depending on the maximum allowed g-force
at high spin for each machine type.

Programming Supplies:
Up to 4 supplies can be programmed at the same time in a
n
sequence.
If liquid soap pumps were installed on the washer, these
n
pumps will be activated by programming a time value for the
corresponding supply signal 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.
The maximum programmable time is 99 seconds per sequence.
n
If the time is 0 seconds then the supply will NOT be activated
n
during the wash process.
NOTE: If more than 4 supplies are needed in the same step, run
the step twice with half the water volume in each step. Use the
NO DRAIN sequence between the steps so the water does not
drain out.
Programming the Motor On and Off Times
for Reversing
The default Reversing Motor On and Off Times at Wash Speed
n
is 12 seconds on and 3 seconds off.
For Delicates and Woolens, it is recommended to program
n
a Gentle Wash action with a On time of 3 seconds and an
Off Time of 12 seconds.
Programming the Sequence Time
The sequence time starts running after the programmed water
n
level is reached.
If the Wait for Temperature feature is selected, the sequence time
n
begins only after the programmed temperature is reached.
NOTE: The Wait for Temperature feature must be Off unless
there is an auxiliary heat source on the washer.
For a Cool Down Sequence, the programmed time corresponds
n
with the time for decreasing the water temperature.
TIP: A cool down of 3 minutes must be programmed. To avoid
garment shrinkage, it is recommended to program the time so that
the temperature will decrease with about 5°F (3°C) for each minute.
Buzzer
The Buzzer should be programmed when a running wash
n
cycle needs to be interrupted.
The Buzzer will be activated to alert the operator.
n
In most cases, the operator interrupts a program to fill
n
the Soap Box an additional time.
The program interruption will always occur at the end of
n
a step.
