Preliminary Information
About the Control
The UniLinc control on the tumbler is an advanced,
graphical, programmable computer that lets the owner
control most machine features by interacting with the
control.
UniLinc allows the owner to program custom cycles,
run diagnostic cycles, and retrieve audit and error
information.
Tumblers shipped from the factory have default cycles
and other settings built in. The owner can change the
default cycle or any cycle.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the
tumbler has a positive ground and that all
mechanical and electrical connections are made
before applying power to or operating the tumbler.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress when the power fails, and if
the power outage lasts three or more seconds, the cycle
is lost and cannot be resumed when power recovers. If
the power outage lasts less than three seconds, the
control will resume the cycle when the power
recovers.
Communications
The control has the ability to communicate with a
PDA and a laptop with an IrDA device running the
UniLinc software. Devices such as PDAs and laptops
that are IrDA capable (able to transmit information to
machine) that have been tested and approved for use
with the UniLinc software can be used as a tool for
managing the machine.
The control will also accept communication with a
network which allows the control to be linked to a
personal computer. This network link allows an owner
to program, collect data and run diagnostics on any
machine. For detailed information on network
communications, refer to the network instructions.
Audit Information
The control collects and stores audit information,
which can be accessed with a PDA, PC or network.
Refer to the following list for some of the available
audit information. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA
Application User Instructions.
•Total Number of Individual Cycle Counters
•Last 25 Machine Cycles
•Service History
•End of Cycle to Loading Door Open Time
•End of Cycle to Start of Next Cycle Time
•Total Number of Machine Cycles
•Total Number of Operating Minutes
•Power Failure Audit Data
The PDA, PC or network can receive audit and
program data from the control, and send programming
data and diagnostic commands to the control. Refer to
UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions
for additional information.
Some of the above listed audit data is available
manually. Refer to Laundry Management section.

IR Communications Menu
The IR Communications Menu displays while the
control is communicating with a PDA. The control
will jump back to the previous page when the
communication is complete.
IR Communications Error Menu
The IR Communications Error Menu displays after the
control had an error communicating with a PDA. The
control will return to previous page after 3 seconds.
Restore to Factory Defaults
When the user selects Restore All Cycles And Global
Settings To Factory-Defaults, the control resets all of
the default values. The control also resets Machine
Cycles #1 through #41. The control will also reset the
following to factory-defaults:

PDA only)
*Manual Programming = Enabled (accessable via PC
and PDA only)
**Reverse Cylinder Rotate Time = 120 (seconds)
**Reverse Cylinder Stop Time = 6 (seconds)
**Advanced Reversing = OFF
***Advanced Options for Moisture Dry = Disabled
***Display Moisture Sensor Error = Disabled
*If manual programming is disabled, programming
changes to UniLinc can only be made with an external
communication device. Refer to UniLinc PC and
PDA Application User Instructions.
**Only available on units equipped with reversing
feature.
***Only available on units equipped with moisture
sensing feature.
Refer to Factory Defaults, Menu section for
information on Restoring Factory Defaults.

Operation Modes
General Modes of Operation
In each mode of operation, the user may press keypads
or communicate with the control to change the
displayed menu.
Power-up Mode
The control enters this mode at power-up. After the
control completes operation in the Power-up Mode it
will enter Idle Mode. The display is blank during
Power-up Mode.
Idle Mode
The control is ready for operation in Idle Mode.
Control can display different menus depending on user
input (keypad press, opening or closing the loading
door, or PDA communication). If there is no user input
for one minute, control will turn off the LCD
backlight. The control will light when there is user
input. If there is no user input for 10 minutes, the
display will go blank.
If the control is in Idle Mode, Cycle Menu is
displayed, loading and lint door closed, and the
keypad is pressed, control will enter Run Mode.
Run Mode
The Control enters Run Mode during a cycle. The
Display shows machine cycle time remaining, the
current cycle type, segment, temperature, and
graphical indicators. Loading and lint doors are closed
during Run Mode. Press keypad to stop cycle
and enter Pause Mode. Press keypad to enter
Run Diagnostic Menu. Control enters Pause Mode if
loading or lint door opens. Press to Rapid
Advance.
Rapid Advance Mode
If the Rapid Advance Option is enabled, the user can
advance a running machine cycle by pressing the
keypad. In a Time Dry cycle, pressing the
keypad will decrease the remaining time by one
minute. Pressing and holding the keypad will
decrease the remaining time by four minutes per
second until the end of the cycle.
In the Auto-Dry and Moisture Dry cycles, pressing the
keypad will advance the cycle to the next
enabled segment. Note that Auto-Dry cycles only have
one programmable segment.
In the Cool Down segment, pressing the keypad
will decrease the remaining time by one minute.
When the cycle is completed, the audit counter, Total
Rapid Advance Cycles is incremented rather than the
Total Machine Cycles audit counter. In addition this
cycle is recorded in the audit list “Last 25 Machine
Cycles Completed”. If the Rapid Advance Option is
disabled preventing a manual Rapid Advance, the user
may still execute a Rapid Advance using the PDA or
PC. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA Application User
Instructions for additional information on using a
PDA or PC to Rapid Advance a cycle.
Pause Mode
If keypad is pressed or the loading or lint door is
opened while in Run Mode, control enters Pause
Mode.
If the door is opened then closed, the control will
prompt the user to press to resume the cycle.
If is pressed while already in Pause Mode, the
control will enter End of Cycle Mode.
Error Mode
This mode will be entered to display all fatal machine
errors.
Communication Mode
This mode is entered whenever the control is
communicating with a PDA or a network. Refer to
UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions.
Cool Down Mode
The control enters the Cool Down Mode after the heat
segment of the cycle is completed or fatal error occurs.
The control turns the heater off and for steam heated
units turns the damper motor on. The cool down
segment will end once the cool down temperature has
been reached or the programmed cool down time
expires, which ever happens first.
