Preliminary Information
About the Control
NetMaster on the washer-extractor is an advanced,
programmable computer that lets the owner control
most machine features by pressing a sequence of
SELECT CYCLE and SELECT WASH TEMP pads.
Refer to Figure 1.
NetMaster allows the owner to program custom
cycles, set vend prices, retrieve audit information,
program and run diagnostic cycles, and program
special vend features. Washer-extractors shipped from
the factory have a default cycle and wash temperature
setting of PERM PRESS, WARM built in. However,
the owner can change the default cycle, or any cycle,
as needs permit.
IMPORTANT: In the event of a power failure,
NetMaster will not have to be reprogrammed. It is
designed with a memory system that will remember
how it was programmed (for a minimum of six
years) until the electrical power is restored.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the
washer-extractor has a positive ground and that all
mechanical and electrical connections to NetMaster
are made before applying power to or operating the
washer-extractor.
Glossary of Terms
The following are a few terms and abbreviations to
learn. These are referred to throughout the instructions.
VFD - Vacuum Fluorescent 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 on the keypads
and status words of the control.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress and the power fails, cycle
status is saved in memory (for a minimum of six years)
without power being applied.
If power resumes within one minute and 30 seconds,
the previously active cycle will continue without
having to press START.
If the control was in a fill cycle step and if the pre-
programmed pressure switch is not satisfied, the
control will start the Fill/Tumble step from the
beginning.
If the control was in an intermediate extract step, the
rest of the extract step is lost and the control will
resume in the next cycle step. However, if in the
intermediate extract step prior to the final extract or in
the final extract, the control will resume the cycle from
the beginning of the previous Drain/Tumble step.
The owner may program a special feature called Power
Fail Reset which sets a maximum power failure
duration. To program this feature, refer to
Programming NetMaster in the Enhanced
Programming Guide, available at extra cost.
If power resumes anytime after one minute and
30 seconds and less than or equal to the time
programmed by the owner for the Power Fail Reset, or
if the Power Fail Reset feature is disabled, the control
will enter into the Start Mode at the beginning of the
cycle step where the power failed.
If power resumes anytime after the time programmed
by the owner, the control will revert to the Ready
Mode.
For more information, refer to Power Fail Recovery.

Communications
NetMaster may be programmed manually, by
Micro-Wand IIIE, by the Card Reader or by the
Network.
Infra-red Communications (Optional)
The Micro-Wand allows the owner to program and
retrieve information from NetMaster without touching
the keypad. The Micro-Wand greatly expands
the programming options available to the
owner. However, the Micro-Wand is not
required to program and operate the
washer-extractor. The operation of the
Micro-Wand and the advanced features
available are covered separately in the Micro-Wand
IIIE instruction manual.
Smart Card Reader Communications
The control will accept communication with a Card
Reader in order to perform vending transactions when
a card is inserted to pay for cycles. The card reader can
also allow the owner to program and collect audit
information.
For detailed information on the Smart Card Reader
Communications, refer to the Smart Card setup
module in the NetMaster Smart Card Suite software
package.
Network Communications
The control will also accept communication with a
Network Interface Board 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 instruction manual.
