troller, and This Manual
BNCLDO02.C01 0000243626 E.2 B.4 B.5 11/10/20 11:08 AM Released
NOTICE: MilTouch™, MilTouch-EX™, and MilTouch-EX™ WTB are variations of
the same controller design, each of which applies to an exclusive family of washer-extrac-
tors. This manual applies to MilTouch-EX™ WTB software version 6.2.000. This manual
also applies to all consecutively subsequent software versions that do not affect the user
experience described herein.
• For the basic MilTouch™ controller, refer to manual MCCLJB01.
• For the MilTouch-EX™ controller without automated loading and discharge, see
MCCLWB01.
In this manual:
• You will see the term MilTouch™ used to describe features that apply to all three controller
variations.
• You will see the term MilTouch-EX™ used to describe features that apply only to the Mil-
Touch-EX™ and MilTouch-EX™ WTB controller variations.
• You will see the term MilTouch-EX™ WTB used to describe features that apply only to the
MilTouch-EX™ WTB controller variation.
The Milnor®MilTouch™ washer-extractor controller uses a touch-sensitive display screen to op-
erate the machine. All the functions and information you need to configure, program, and run the
machine appear on this screen.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure — can damage the display screen.
�Do not push hard on the glass.
�Use only a finger to touch the glass. Do not touch the screen with a
tool.
Operators will use the MilTouch-EX™ WTB controller to initiate automatic loading, washing,
and discharging. However, the MilTouch™ controller also has features that are accessible when
the machine is idle. These features will interest specialists, such as service technicians and chemi-
cal suppliers who work with the machine. These features are the subject of this manual. Refer to
the operator guide for operator instructions.

The MilTouch™ controller contains several displays organized into a hierarchy. Top-most is the
Home display (Figure 1: The Home Display, page 8 ). Each display contains buttons that access
lower-level displays.
The chapters in this manual are organized, not by display, but by types of specialist activity. Ex-
amples are given in the following table. For a hierarchal tour of the displays, see Section 1.1.4 :

When you first power-on the machine for morning startup (after evening shutdown, after a power
loss, after a safety circuit error, etc.) the controller prompts the operator to put the machine in au-
tomatic or manual mode, as shown in Figure 1: The Home Display, page 8 .
Preface

Pellerin Milnor Corporation 9
Figure 2. Example Loading StateAutomatic mode is the normal
mode of operation for MilTouch-
EX™ WTB washer-extractors. In
automatic mode, the controller
uses inputs from the Miltrac™
controller system to automatically
load the machine with goods us-
ing the loading chute, and auto-
matically unload the machine
using tilt functions.
During operation, the controller
advances through Loading/Dis-
charging State windows, which
indicate the machine’s progress.
An example is shown in Figure 2,
page 9.
See the operator guide for instruc-
tions on how to use automatic mode to load and unload the machine.

2.1.3 Main Configuration Decisions
BNCLDP01.R02 0000249060 E.2 C.2 B.2 11/8/21 4:49 PM Released
Use the following information to configure the controller based on your machine’s features and
specifications, as well as your laundry needs.
The configuration decisions that are hardware-dependent are marked “Avoid modification” in the
following explanations. A few configuration decisions are not hardware-dependent, but it is im-
portant to understand the consequences of changing these values, as explained.
Temperature Unit — Select the unit, either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius, that the con-
troller uses to measure and display the bath temperature.
This decision also determines the water unit for bath steps in which the water level is controlled
by a pressure transducer.
• If the temperature unit is degrees Fahrenheit, the water unit is inches.
• If the temperature unit is degrees Celsius, the water unit is centimeters.
NOTICE: The numerical values for water levels do not automatically change to reflect
a change in the temperature unit (and therefore a change in the water unit). For example,
if water level 1 is set to 13.0 inches and you change the temperature unit to Celsius (thus
changing the water unit to centimeters), the water level will be 13.0 centimeters, not
33.02 centimeters (the correct converted value). If you change the temperature unit, you
must also manually change the water level 1, 2, and 3 values, as well as all user-defined
levels, to reflect the unit change.

NOTE: This configure decision allows the Milnor®factory to support both new and old
machines. Do not change this configure decision from the original factory setting unless
instructed by the factory, if replacing the processor board.
Drain Code (Avoid modification) — Select the time for drain speed between two bath steps
and between a bath step and an extract step.
CAUTION: Inadequate drain time — can cause unnecessary machine wear.
�Do not select a drain code that provides less time at drain speed than
stated on the machine configuration nameplate.

Steam Error (Avoid modification) — Select the time allowed for the machine to use steam
to achieve the programmed bath temperature before the controller issues an error. See Section 4.3
: Errors, page 49 for more information.
Fill Error (Avoid modification) — Select the time allowed for the machine to achieve the de-
sired water level before the controller issues an error. See Section 4.3 : Errors, page 49 for more
information.
Cooldown Error (Avoid modification) — Select the time allowed for the machine to com-
plete a cooldown to a programmed bath temperature before the controller issues an error. See Sec-
tion 4.3 : Errors, page 49 for more information.
Extra Water (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine is attached to a reuse
water source.
Reuse Drain (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine has a second drain valve
that discharges to a reuse water reservoir.
Overhead Tank (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine has an overhead tank.
Flow Meters (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine is equipped with flow
meters to measure incoming water.
Tilt Type (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine is a hydraulic-tilt, air-tilt, or
non-tilting machine.
RPM Control (Avoid modification) — This decision must remain at the factory setting, ex-
cept in the case of a retrofit. If this is the case, a Milnor®technician will advise you accordingly.
Recirculation (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine has the equipment re-
quired to recirculate bath liquor.
RinSave®(Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine is provided with the Rin-
Save®feature.
AmpSaver (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine is part of a Milnor®
AmpSaver system to help reduce peak electricity consumption.
Temperature Probe (Avoid modification) — Select whether this machine has a temperature
sensor. A temperature sensor allows programming a specific temperature for each bath step.
NOTE: The machine must have a temperature sensor to use steam or cooldown.
