1 Purpose of this manual The purpose of this manual is to provide service personnel (who already have the basic knowledge necessary for repairing dishwashers) with information on dishwashers equipped with the EDW500 electronic control system, which are produced in the Solaro (MI - Italy) factory. The EDW1500 control system consists of a main circuit board and a control/display board.
4 CONTROL PANEL The configuration of the control panel depends on the following: styling number of buttons from a minimum of 1 (only Start/Reset) to a maximum of 2 number of LEDs [S1] - Start button [S2] - OPTION SELECTION button [LD0 - On/Off LED [LD1]- Start LED [LD2]- LED “OPTION”...
5.1 Options 5.1.1 “1/2 load” The 1/2 load option optimizes the washing cycle when only a small load is placed in the appliance. When this button is pressed, certain parameters of the selected washing cycle are modified: Exclusion of Pre-wash (if featured) Reduction of the washing temperature Reduction of the duration of the programme 5.1.2...
6 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. Turn the knob to select the desired programme. The LD0 placed above the knob lights 2. Select the delayed start or the desired option (if featured). The relative LED lights up. 3. Close the door. 4.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND FUNCTIONS 8.1 EDW500 Electronic control system The EDW500 control system consists of a main circuit board and a control/display board. Both boards are housed in a plastic container (fig. 1). The programme selector is housed in the electronic board; the On/Off function is performed by the selector.
8.1.2 Memory in the control system μP Power Fail and machine status Asynchronous Configuration of EEPROM Synchronous external serial the appliance (external internal serial to the μP) port Description of the cycle The main circuit board features an EEPROM memory (external to the microprocessor) which stores in memory data relative to the configuration, description of the cycle, cycle status in case of a power failure, and any alarm conditions.
8.3 Power supply and programme selection The main board is powered by the closure of contacts. The connectors used are B2 (neutral) and B1 (line). The control/display board (user interface) is powered at 220V by the main board. When the door is closed, the main board detects the closure of the contacts of the switch (IP) across connectors C1-C3 and starts the washing programme.
8.5.2 Dynamic fill The dynamic fill is obtained by switching on the washing pump whose rotation causes the pressure switch to switch to EMPTY. Subsequently, the fill solenoid valve is energized and water is introduced until the switch returns to FULL. The speed of rotation of the motor determines the quantity of water introduced, since the electronic control system switches on the washing pump at a rotation speed of 2600-2800 rpm.
8.8.1 Control of the washing pump The washing pump (PL) is powered by the electronic control (connector D3-D11). 8.9 Heating The heating element is enclosed in a protective tube, and is used to heat the washing water (but does not switch on during the drying phase). The heating element is fitted to the outlet of the washing pump and connected to the duct which feeds the upper spray arm.
8.11.1 “Siphon” effect If the drain tube is incorrectly positioned, the so-called “siphon effect” may occur, in which case an alarm is displayed iF0 (see 9.1). The problem is particularly likely to occur during execution of the “declaration cycle”: although the drain pump shuts down at the end of the (partial) drain phase, water continues to be expelled from the machine because the drain tube is incorrectly positioned.
8.14 “Blending” function This function is performed inside the fill tank during the water fill phase which, depending on the position of the selector, automatically blends the softened water with the unsoftened water present in the appliance. In practice, the softened water is introduced into the appliance through the softening system, while the unsoftened water flows via an open by-pass duct directly through the steam venting ring.
10 ALARMS When an abnormal situation occurs that may interfere with machine functioning, the main board activates a safety system which in most cases interrupts the washing cycle. The last three alarm situations are stored in memory. Using a special procedure, service personnel can display all the alarms stored in memory. The user is only shown four of the alarms in progress.

11 USER MODE With this procedure it is possible to: • Modify the regeneration level selection (depending on the water hardness). • Activate or deactivate the rinse-aid supply. 11.1 Regeneration selection To activate the function: 1. Press and hold down button S1. 2.
12 SERVICE MODE With this procedure it is possible to access the Service Diagnostics System. Once this mode is accessed, it is possible to: • read and cancel the alarms • control the operation of the various components of the appliance •...
12.3 Functional testing cycle This is an abbreviated washing programme (50 min) which allows the Service Engineer to test all the functions that comprise a traditional washing cycle; in effect, the system simulates a normal cycle. 12.3.1 Selecting the cycle To activate the function: 1.

15 CHECKING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COMPONENTS In order to facilitate the control procedure for the components to be tested, a TEST PROCEDURE has been created which indicates the point to which the probes of the tester should be applied and the correct theoretical value for each component tested.
16 QUICK GUIDE TO THE SPECIAL FUNCTIONS The table below briefly describes how each of the special functions available to the user and to the Service Engineer can be used. To activate the user mode, the selector must be turned clockwise; to activate the Service mode, the selector must be turned anti-clockwise. Function Activation of the function Starting the function...
