1. Operation
1.1 General Information
This manual has been written and illustrated to present the basic operations and programming
instructions of the Aquanomic EU dispenser. This manual applies to current units. Future versions
may have additional features; check unit packing for the latest revision.
Guidelines will be suggested in reference to the preferred method of installation. However, the variety
of equipment and the surrounding environment will dictate the actual operation of the Aquanomic EU
unit.
These installation, operation and servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. The SCLS system is intended
to be installed by an experienced, qualified technician. The installation must be made in accordance with all applicable and
local plumbing and electrical codes. The dispenser must be properly plumbed to a laundry washer / extractor. The washer
extractor must have a properly installed drain system or overflow protection system.
The remarks WARNING, CAUTION and NOTICE have the following meanings in this manual.
This heading refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in severe personal injury or death.
This heading refers to a hazard or unsafe practice which can result in personal injury or product or property damage.
This heading is used when a particular piece of information needs to be highlighted.
The information provided here will take you step-by-step through the programming of the Condor Laundry Controller.
1.1.1 Definitions and Conventions
•Idle Screen or Customer’s Screen –Screens that display laundry icons and soft keys when the Controller is in
idle mode.
•Menu –A selection of action choices presented on the graphical LCD display.
•Scroll –To move through menu selections by pressing the Up arrow or Down arrow keys.
•Select –To press the center <Enter> key on the keypad. This action advances the user to the next sub-
menu.
•Programming –The action of setting up the values, operating methods, and messages that are available for
change.
•Default –Factory programmed values.
•Parameters –Values and limits set during programming.
•Standard Mode (Normal Operation) –The dispenser will dose as it receives chemical supply signals from
the washer. The user needs to select a formula on either the Condor controller, or on the optional Formula
Select module.
•MicroMode (Automatic Formula Selection Mode) –The dispenser will automatically select a formula based
on the time duration of the washer supply signal. To use this mode of operation, the MicroMode signal
from the washer is wired into the MSI signal #1 (with black wire). Once triggered, the dispenser will

4
automatically select a formula and start dosing the product(s) that were programmed for MSI Signal #1 (or
Step #1).
•Program Mode –Mode in which password-protected menus are available. These menus allow the setup of
wash formulae and reviewing/editing of all operating parameters on the controller.
•Auto Key Repeat –A feature that allows you to press and hold keys instead of repeating key strokes.

be dosed.
Choosing SK#3 Load Counts will list production load counts for all, or each, of the washers.
Use the Left/Right arrows on the keypad to highlight/select any of the washers. This will update the soft
key options.
For example, Washer 1 is highlighted using the Left/Right arrow keys. Four soft keys are now made
available.
Choosing…
SK #1: Home –navigates back to the main idle screen
SK #2: Select a Formula –prompts user to select a formula for Washer 1

Select Formula (SK#2)
Selecting SK#2 opens a list of the pre-programmed formulae available.
Use the Up/Down arrow to highlight a formula.
Press center <Enter> to select the formula.
If Formula F03 Healthcare Linen is selected, the controller will momentarily display the screen below while
the command is processed.
If the formula selection is successfully processed, the Formula Select module for Washer 1 (if

for “Select Formula”).
Selecting SK#2 will give you the option of cancelling the current formula:
Press SK#2 <Yes> or SK#3 <No> to confirm your selection.
Press SK#1 <Back> to cancel.
If the formula is cancelled, the selected formula (F03) for this selected washer will be reset and all
doses will be removed from the system queue. The main idle screen on the Condor and the
Formula Select will display F00 No Program.
Select a Formula Screen: Formula Selection Error
If the formula selection cannot be successfully processed (caused by a communication failure or a delay in
system communication due to system synchronization), an error message will appear:

12
Select a Formula Screen: MicroMode
If the washing machine is utilizing MicroMode, the select formula screen will be offered. However, a
formula cannot be selected using the manual keypad. The Center <Enter> key is now disabled.
Additionally, if the washer is in MicroMode, the corresponding Formula Select screen will display
“Automatic Mode” on the top line.
Load Counts (SK#3)
SK #3 will display the production load counts of each formula of the selected washer. The production
volume of dry linen is displayed in the ‘lb’ column. These numbers are calculated based on the washer
capacity and the number of cycle counts.
