AQUA eco•wash INTRODUCTION
Dosing system for washing machines ENGLISH
ADSP7000603 rev. 1.3 09/06/2015 38/212
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The eco•wash has been designed for the automatic dosage of chemical products on any type of washing machine,
from the smaller models to the large tunnel machines.
The eco•wash system is able to satisfy every requirement in fact, thanks to the full modularity, we can assemble
up to a maximum of 10 pumps, choosing from the low flow rate (LF model, maximum flow rate of 20 L/H, adjustable
from 0 to 100%) and the large flow rate (HF model, maximum flow rate of 100 L/H, adjustable from 0 to 100%).
Simultaneous can work at maximum three pumps.
The feature making the eco•wash a state-of-the-art system, is the Bluetooth technology enabling easy and full
system management; once the AQUAware software is installed on a PC, provided with the Bluetooth connection
module, it is possible to remotely manage the system. To manage means: system configuration, definition of the
dosing programs and control of the statistics relating to dosages.

2.5.3 Washing machine signals –clamps from S1 to S8
Connect the signals coming from the washing machine to clamps S1…8 .
The eco•wash system has 8 optocoupled inputs and compatible with any type of electric signal, alternate or direct.
Also, the system is provided with a jumper for every input (JP4…JP11), that allows us to recognize the level of the
input signal.
HIGH jumper position
This position allows to discriminate signals 110VAC or 230VAC.
LOW jumper position
This position allows to discriminate signals 12VDC or 24VAC.
The chosen position of the jumper must be in accordance with the selection made by the “AQUAware Configurator”
program. This setting is the same for all inputs.
There is no need to respect any polarity for signals in direct.
2.5.4 Signals module LEDs
The signals mdoule LEDs, S1, ..., S8 are blinking when the signal is active (voltage present) and are fixed when
the signal lasts longer than the filter (see par. 5.5.1).
The LEDs (ON and tx / rx) indicate:
ON continuously, it means that the module signals it receives power from the central module.
tx / rx blinking indicates that the active communication between the modules (the flash must be constant)
