Preliminary Information
About the Control
This control is an advanced, programmable computer that allows
the owner to control most machine features by pressing a se-
quence of keypads. Refer to page 12.
The control allows the owner to program custom cycles, set vend
prices, retrieve audit information, run diagnostic tests and other
programmable features. Refer to Programming Control for a list
of features. Machines shipped from the factory have a default cy-
cle built in, however, the owner can change the default cycle, or
any cycle, as needs permit.
The default cycle is Cold.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power failure, the control
will not have to be reprogrammed. It is designed with a
memory system that will remember how it was pro-
grammed until the electrical power is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the machine
has a good ground connection and that all mechanical
and electrical connections to the control are made be-
fore applying power to or operating the machine.
Glossary of Terms
The following are a few terms and abbreviations to learn. These
are referred to throughout the instructions.
Display – This term refers to the window area of the control that
displays words and values.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) – This term refers to the lights next
to the keypads and status words of the control.
IrDA – Infra-red External Device
FEC – Front End Control
I/O Board – Input/Output Board
OPL – On Premises Laundry
Communications
The control may be programmed manually or by infra-red com-
munication with an external device. A limited number of features
can be programmed by a card reader.
Infra-red Communications
If enabled (refer to IR Access Enable irA En) an external device,
such as a PDA, allows the owner to program and retrieve infor-
mation from the control as well as start and stop various diagnos-
tic tests without using the keypad. An external device greatly ex-
pands the programming options available to the owner.
An external device is not required to program and operate the
machine. The operation of an external device and the advanced
features available are covered separately in the instructions in-
cluded with the external device software. Contact Alliance Laun-
dry Systems for a list of approved PDAs and other external devi-
ces.
How to Begin Communications with an External
Device
The control will switch the display to show -C- until the com-
munication is complete. If an error occurs that terminates com-
munication, the display will show EIXX (XX represents the error
code).
NOTE: The Infra-red Communications option must be
turned on.

Suds Removal Routine
If enabled (refer to Error Programming Error-), while in an ex-
tract step, the control may go into a special routine designed to
help eliminate suds if excessive suds are detected.
During this routine, suds removal rotation sequence is repeated
twice. If the Suds Removal Routine Extra Time parameter is en-
abled, the cycle time is paused while in a Suds Removal Routine.
If the Suds Removal Routine Extra Time parameter is disabled,
the cycle time will continue to count down while in a Suds Re-
moval Routine.

Machine Operation
Power Up
When power is applied to the machine, the control becomes ac-
tive and will display its software version as SXXX (XXX is the
version number) for one (1) second.
System Check Mode
This mode is entered after Power Up unless the next mode to be
entered after System Check Mode is Run Mode . The next mode
is determined in Power Up . The purpose of this mode is for the
FEC to verify that the correct I/O Board is connected. Once all
required conditions are confirmed, the control will automatically
exit System Check Mode and proceed to the next mode. In addi-
tion to checking the I/O Board System Check Mode, the control
will initialize a drive power up check if the door is closed. After
System Check Mode is exited, the control may lock the door and
power up the drive to verify that the correct drive is installed. If
the door is opened at any time, the drive power up check is can-
celed until the next time the door is locked. The display will
show the software version number similar to Power Up .
Ready Mode
In this mode of operation the control indicates the current select-
ed cycle by lighting the LEDs. The full current vend price for the
cycle appears in the display.
The user will be able to select a different cycle by pressing a cy-
cle keypad when the machine is in Ready Mode.
Partial Vend Mode
The control enters this mode when part of the vend price has been
entered, but not enough vend is entered to satisfy the vend price.
The remaining vend price needed to start the cycle appears in the
display.
The user will be able to select a different cycle by pressing a cy-
cle keypad when the machine is in Partial Vend Mode.
Additional Vend Mode
The control enters this mode if a higher priced cycle or a cycle
modifier is selected while the machine is in Start Mode or Run
Mode, but before the first Fill Step has completed. If the vend
price is not satisfied within one (1) minute, the control will go
back to the first selection and the cycle will continue if it was
paused. After the first Fill Step, all key presses will be ignored al-
lowing the machine to go through the complete cycle.
The control enters this mode if a higher priced cycle is selected
while the machine is in Start Mode or Run Mode, but before the
first Fill Step has completed. If the vend price is not satisfied
within one (1) minute, the control will go back to the first selec-
tion and the cycle will continue if it was paused. After the first
Fill Step, all key presses will be ignored allowing the machine to
go through the complete cycle.
Start Mode
The control enters this mode when the full vend price is satisfied,
the vend price is zero (0) or the control is in OPL Mode. START
(enter) keypad LED will flash one (1) second on and one (1) sec-
ond off. If Start Mode is entered because the vend price is satis-
fied or the control is in OPL Mode, the display will show PUSH
for one (1) second, Strt for one (1) second and the current cycle
time for one (1) second. If Start Mode is entered because the
vend price is zero (0), the display will show FrEE. When first
entering Start Mode, a signal will sound for one (1) second on
and one (1) second off for 10 seconds if Signal for Start is ena-
bled.
After pressing the START (enter) keypad if the door is closed,
Door Locking Mode will be entered and the cycle will begin.
If the door is not closed when the vend price is satisfied, CLoSE
and door will be displayed until the door is closed. Once door is
closed, the START (enter) keypad must be pressed to lock door
and start the cycle.

Door Locking Mode
The control enters this mode after the START (enter) keypad is
pressed in Start Mode or Pause Mode to start or resume a ma-
chine cycle. The control will stay in Door Locking Mode until the
loading door is closed and locked. The display shows a single
moving LED and the Door Lock LED flashes one (1) second on/
off.
Once the door is locked, the control will exit Door Locking Mode
and will enter Run Mode. If the door is opened prior to being
locked, the control will return to Start Mode.
An error will be displayed if the door fails to lock after the third
attempt. The machine will attempt to lock for one (1) additional
minute. If the door fails to lock, the control will return to Start
Mode.
If the door locks, the door lock error will clear and the cycle will
continue normally. The door can be opened to clear the door lock
error as well.
Door Unlocking Mode
This mode is entered when there is no time left in the cycle or
when pausing the cycle while in Run Mode. The door will unlock
after the basket stops spinning. The display will continue to flash
the remaining cycle time every second or if the next mode is End
of Cycle Mode, it will flash 01 every second. If the next mode is
Pause Mode, the display will flash PAUSE every second. If the
drive board determines that the water temperature is too hot to
drain or unlock the door, the display will flash Hot in addition to
the other displays.
Door Unlocking Mode will proceed once the water temperature
drops below 120° F [49° C] .
The machine will always drain water down to an empty level be-
fore attempting to unlock the door. If after draining, the water
level is still not low enough, the control will enter Machine Error
Mode with a drain error, if enabled. Otherwise the control will
continue to drain until it sees the machine empty.
The START (enter) keypad can be pressed while in this mode as
long as Machine Error Mode or End of Cycle Mode is not the
next mode. If the START (enter) keypad is pressed and the next
mode is Pause Mode or Start Mode, the next mode entered will
be Door Locking Mode. Otherwise the press is invalid. All other
keys are invalid while in this mode. Once Door Unlocking Mode
is exited, the control will enter the next mode.
End of Cycle Mode
When a cycle is complete, the control will display OPEN for one
(1) second and DOOR for one (1) second until the washer is
opened, a keypad is pressed, or a coin/card is entered. When one
(1) of these options occur, the display will revert back to the
Ready Mode.
Run Mode
The control enters this mode when a cycle is running. The time
remaining appears in the display, the status LEDs are lit and the
loading door is locked.
Upon the start of a cycle, the display shows a single moving LED
until the machine is ready to rotate the basket. Once the machine
is ready to rotate the basket, the display showes the total cycle
time. The appropriate LEDs will light while the machine passes
through different cycle steps.
Signals
The options for when a signal can be used during the machine op-
eration are listed below:
1. End of Cycle Signal - By default, this signal is turned off. If
turned on, the signal sounds for three (3) seconds at the end of
a cycle.
2. Signal On Keypad Depression - By default, this signal is
turned on and sounds for a quarter of a second each time a
keypad is pressed.
3. Signal On Coin Input/Card Insertion - By default, this sig-
nal is turned on and will sound for a quarter of a second each
time a coin or card is entered.
4. Signal for Card Removal (Card Models Only) - By default,
this signal is turned on and will sound one (1) second on and
one (1) second off when the control is prompting for card re-
moval.
5. Signal for Start - By default, this signal is turned on and will
sound one (1) second on and one (1) second off for 10 sec-
onds after vend price has been satisfied.
NOTE: Refer to Programming Control to program signal
options.
Changing Cycles
Selecting a higher priced cycle will pause the first Fill Step, and
the Vend Price will flash one (1) second on and one (1) second
off until the vend price has been satisfied. After the vend price
has been satisfied, the cycle will continue with the new selec-
tions. If the vend price is not satisfied within one (1) minute, the
machine control will go back to the previously set cycle.
Cycles can be changed anytime during the first Fill Step. After
the first Fill Step, all cycle keypad presses are ignored.

Pause Mode
Pause Mode is entered when the START (enter) keypad is press-
ed three (3) times within five (5) seconds during the first three (3)
minutes of a running machine cycle. This mode is only manually
accessible if the Pause/Resume Mode (Enable/Disable) parameter
is programmed to Enabled and if the control is in Run Mode or
Door Locking Mode . Pause Mode is unavailable during Rapid
Advance and while the machine is in OPL Mode.
If this mode is entered the control will pause the cycle, enter
Door Unlocking Mode, and drain/pump the water out. After the
machine is confirmed to be empty and not rotating, the control
will unlock the door. The control will then enter Pause Mode.
The user may then restart the machine by pressing the START
(enter) keypad, where the machine will enter Door Locking Mode
and once the door locks, the cycle will resume from where it left
off.
NOTE: The display will show PUSH and StArt, the Cy-
cle Selection LEDs will be lit, and if the door is locked,
the door lock LED will be lit.
Closing Washer Door
If the door is not closed when the vend price is satisfied, CLoSE
and door will be displayed until the door is closed. Once the
door is closed, the START (enter) keypad must be pressed to lock
the door and start the cycle. E dL1 will be displayed, indicating
a door lock error, on the third attempt. The machine will attempt
to lock for one additional minute. If the door fails to lock, the
control will return to Start Mode.
If the door locks, the door lock error will clear and the cycle will
continue normally. The door can be opened to clear the door lock
error as well.
Overflow Mode
If the control is not running a cycle, in Door Locking Mode or in
Door Unlocking Mode, then the overflow level is set at the basket
of the machine. In Overflow Mode, if the door is closed, the door
will lock, the pump will turn on, and the gravity drain will open
until the water level is below the overflow reset level if running a
cycle, otherwise the machine will drain until the drum is seen
empty.
If Overflow Mode Display is disabled and the control is in Run
Mode when it exits, the display will show the default Run Mode
display, otherwise in all other cases, the display will show oFLo.
If the door locks and the overflow level is no longer being met
within five (5) minutes of first detecting the overflow, the cycle
will continue as normal and the control will go back to the mode
it was previously in. If the control continues to see an overflow
level after five (5) minutes has been reached with the door
locked, the control will enter Machine Error Mode with an Over-
flow Error.
OPL Mode
This feature allows the user to start a cycle without satisfying the
vend price.
When in OPL Mode, press and hold the Heavy/Hot and Delicate/
Warm keypads to terminate the cycle and enter Door Unlocking
Mode and then End of Cycle Mode.
For details on enabling OPL Mode, refer to OPL Parameters
oPL-.
Out of Order Mode
This feature allows the owner to program Out of Order Mode
which can be used to show the owner that the machine is not
available to use. The control will accept coins and increment the
appropriate audit counters but the vend entered will not count to-
wards a cycle purchase, the coin audio will not work, and no cy-
cle will run while Out of Order Mode is active.
Refer to Out of Order oUt.
Error Display Mode
In Error Display Mode, the display shows machine errors when
they occur. The display only shows one error at the time if there
are multiple errors. Once the highest priority error is cleared, the
next highest priority error will be displayed.
Refer to Error Codes for more on error details, displays, and pri-
orities.
Communications Mode
This feature allows the control to communicate with an IrDA or
card reader. This allows the owner to program the control and
read control data without using the keypad.
For more detailed information on using the Communications
Mode feature, refer to Communications.

Opening the Top Cover
To manually program the control, the top cover (located on the
top of the machine) must be unlocked and opened. Opening and
closing the top cover trips a switch which allows access to vari-
ous programming options. Once opened, it may be closed imme-
diately.
After opening and closing the top cover, the owner has 4 minutes
and 15 seconds to begin programming. If the appropriate keypads
have not been pressed in that time, the control will not accept
owner programming. Should this happen, opening and closing the
top cover will once again trip the switch which allows access to
the programming options.
