THE CONTROL ENABLES:
–Version OPL: create 20 programs (number 1÷20), each of them is combination of temperature, speed,
direction of cloths delivery and for ironer with front/rear delivery with folder also parameters for folding;
additionally the program 0 is saved in memory, adjusted from manufacturer to 80°C, 4 m/min, which is not
possible to change.
–Version with coin meter: starting the machine by coin automat with adjustable value of coins and minimal
price necessary for start.
–Simple control by buttons
–Displaying of error messages
IT IS POSSIBLE TO DISPLAY THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION DURING IRONING
OR FOLDING:
Version OPL:
–Program, which has been selected
–Required temperature and actual temperature
–Ironing speed in m/min
–For ironer with front/rear delivery with folder in addition number of folds or the fold width
–Light indicators LED next to individual buttons show: machine condition (in operation, cooling down), which
of parameters is just displayed on the lower display (temperature, speed, number of folds, width of fold),
on ironer with front/rear delivery with folder also the state of folding and direction of finished linen delivery
Version with coin meter:
–Remaining paid time in minutes
–If the counting down the time is active (machine is operating), the decimal point is blinking in the displayed time
3.1. DESCRIPTION OF BUTTONS FUNCTIONS – VERSION OPL
Pressing some of buttons for the program parameters (speed and temperature and on ironer with front/rear
delivery with folder also parameters of folding) or the button „Program selection“ causes:
–Button activation (LED next to the button lights up), which enables to change given program parameter by
buttons „+“ and „-“, see description of individual buttons
–Deactivation of previous button (corresponding LED will switch off)
–Displaying of given parameter on the lower display (not applicable for the button „Program selection“)
Then, if you want to display e.g. temperature on the lower display, press the button „Temperature“. Now, if
you want to change the speed, press the button „Speed“ first and then change the speed using the buttons
„+“ and „-“.
Change of parameters:
It is possible to change individual program parameters and save new values in memory. For the change of
parameter, which is just being displayed, it is necessary to keep the button of corresponding parameter pressed
for the time period 2s. After this time period, the display starts blinking and parameter can be changed using
the buttons „+“ and „-“. After required value has been set, it is necessary to confirm this new value by another
short press of the parameter button, otherwise the change will not be executed and after 2s the original value
will be displayed again.
An exception are parameters „Ironing speed“ and selection of the program number – these values can be
changed directly by pressing the buttons „+“ and „-“ and the new values need not be confirmed.
Such executed parameter changes remain valid just until the machine is switched off. When the machine is
switched on again, original values will be read from the memory again. If you want to save the changes
even after switch off, it is necessary to save the program (see button for program saving).
Example – temperature set-up:
–If the button „Temperature“ is not active, activate it by a short press – actual temperatureis shown on the display
–Required temperature value is displayed after another short press, the dot on the display indicates required
value (actual and required value exist only for temperature, other parameters have only one value)
–Activate mode of value editing by long press (2s) of the „Temperature“ button – display will start blinking
–Set new required value using the buttons „+“ and „-“
–Confirm the value by a short press of the „Temperature“ button

START
The button serves for the machine start – it starts all motors, heating and on machines
with pedal and clutch also the feeding table. LED next to the button indicates the machine
operation.
PROGRAM SELECTION
The button enables to choose required program for ironing. Every press of the button
increases number of program by 1, from the program 20 it comes over to program 1 again
(it means the program sequence is 0-1-2-3-…-19-20-1-2-…). Program 0 is available only
after switching the machine on.
Program number can be selected also by buttons „+“ and „-“.
Reading of selected program happens 2s after the last press of one of mentioned buttons.
Mode of program selection is finished by this, the button for program selection is deactivated
and parameters of the new program are displayed in sequence, every parameter for 2s.
LED at appropriate button always lights up together with the parameter.
Order of displaying is: „Width of fold“ and „Number of folds“ (only on ironer with front/rear
delivery with folder), „Temperature“ and „Speed“. Speed and appropriate LED remain
active.
REVERSE OPERATION
If the button is pressed during machine operation, then the ironer stops. If the button is
pressed while the machine is not running the reverse operation is started for approximately
such a period, that the roller circuit covers a distance of 500 mm, while speed is the same
as when running forwards.
Then the machine stops and it is possible to start the reverse operation by the same button
again or start the normal operation by the „Start“ button.
LED next to this button indicates, that the reverse operation is active.
AUTOMATIC FINISHING OF IRONING
The ironer is equipped with function of „cooling down” – automatic machine stop when
temperature of ironing roller decreases bellow 80°C. Function is activated by pressing this
button, its activation is indicated by blinking LED next to the button. If this function is
activated, it is possible to continue ironing normally, but the heating is off. As soon as
temperature of ironing roller decreases bellow 80°C, the machine stops and it is possible
to switch it off by the main switch. The function can be cancelled any time by pressing the
„Start“ button – this will start the heating again.
Second function of this button is confirmation (deleting) of error messages on the display.
Also the siren is silenced for 30s.
TEMPERATURE
When „Temperature“ button is active, the actual temperature of ironing roller is displayed.
Short press of the button displays required temperature value for 3s; dot on the display
indicates, that this is the required value. Required value is always displayed for 3s, and
then the actual value is displayed again.
Long press of the button (2s) activates mode of required temperature editing.
The temperature can be changed in steps of 5°C in range 0 -180°C.
SPEED When „Speed“ button is active, the actual speed of ironing roller is displayed. This button
doesn’t have editing mode: if the button is active, every press of „+“ or „-“ causes change
of speed. Changed value need not be confirmed. Speed can be changed in steps of 0,5
m/min in range 1,5÷8 m/min.
„+“, „-“
Buttons serve for decreasing and increasing of the displayed value (it means value of
parameter, button of which is active).

508913C PUBLICATION DATE 25 AUG 2006.DOC PROGRAMMING MANUAL 5
PROGRAM SAVING
This button works only when the programming switch is on. Long press (2s) of the button
leads to saving of actual values into actual program, so these values are used at every
next start of the machine. If you do not save the values by pressing this button, then the
previous values will be read at next start of the machine. While you save values, there is
displayed „- - -“ for 2s.
FOLLOWING BUTTONS ARE USED ONLY ON IRONER WITH FRONT/REAR DELIVERY WITH FOLDER
Machine enables folding in two modes – folding according to required number of folds and folding according
to required width of fold. Active is that regime, the parameter of which has nonzero value. Setting of one
parameter resets the second parameter at the same time. E. G. you select the mode of folding according to
required number of folds, number of folds is set on 6. Now, if you set the fold width on any nonzero value,
number of folds is set automatically to 0 and the machine is switched over to mode with folding according to
required width of fold.
If both parameters are 0, folding is not executed at all.
NUMBER OF FOLDS
If the width of fold is set to 0 cm and the number of folds has nonzero value, the machine
is switched automatically tomode of folding accordingto required number of folds. In this
case the width of fold is calculated automatically according to measured length of previous
linen. This mode is convenient e.g. for folding of tablecloths, because it ensures that the
middle fold is in the middle of the tablecloth. As the number of folds you must input in how
many parts the linen should be folded, not number of actual folds of linen, fig. 3.1.A – folding
in quarters, it means 4 parts, not 3 folds.
After the button activation, there is displayed the set
number of folds. Long press of the button (2s) activates
mode of editing of required value:
– Setting of number >0 activates mode „folding according
to required number of folds“
– Sequence of setting is: 0-auto-2-3-…-10-0-auto-2…
– Selection of „auto“ („A“) means, that the machine itself
determines needed number of folds, so that the width
of folded linen is close to the value 35 cm.
WARNING:
MODE OF FOLDING TO CONSTANT NUMBER OF FOLDS IS CONVENIENT ONLY FOR FOLDING OF
SHEETS WITH IDENTICAL SIZE, BECAUSE THE LINEN IS ALWAYS FOLDED ACCORDING TO
MEASURED LENGTH OF PREVIOUS LINEN. IF THERE ARE SHEETS OF DIFFERENT SIZE IN ONE
BATCH, THEN EVERY SHEET WILL BE FOLDED TO DIFFERENT WIDTH AND THEREFORE IT´S MORE
CONVENIENT TO USE THE MODE OF FOLDING TO CONSTANT WIDTH OF FOLD.
WIDTH OF FOLD
If nonzero width of fold is set, the machine will switch automatically to the mode of folding
to preset width of fold. Regardless the total length of linen, the folding to constant width
of fold X (e.g. 35 cm) is executed. This mode is convenient e.g. for folding of bed linen.
– Setting of the fold width >0 activates themode „foldingto constant width of fold“
– The width can be 28÷40 cm, step 1 cm, step down from 28 cm is 0 cm (no folding)
Fig. 3.1.B
FOLDING YES/NO
The button switches on and off the folding function, it means it is possible to switch off
the folding also at program with preset folding. LED at the button indicates, that the
folding is ON.

4.6. EXPLANATION OF ERROR MESSAGES
IMPORTANT!
TECHNICAL REPAIRS OF IRONER CAN BE EXECUTED ONLY BY TECHNICIANS WITH APPROPRIATE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE MACHINE.
ERROR 1: TEMPERATURE OF IRONING ROLLER IS HIGHER THAN 200°C
Error is detected by temperature sensor. For higher safety the machine is equipped with separate safety
thermostat, which disconnects heating when temperature exceeds 210°C.
CAUSE:
1.Interruption of ironing when temperature of
ironing roller is high (180°C) Wait until the machine cools down, or cool it down
by ironing of wet linen (use some old linen as it
can be damaged by the high temperature)
2.Failure of electrical installation Professional servicing is necessary
3.Interruption of temperature sensor
(displayed temperature is 255°C) Change temperature sensor, check the
connection of the sensor
ERROR 2: TEMPERATURE OF IRONING ROLLER IS HIGHER THAN 80°C AND
THE ROLLER IS NOT ROTATING
Rotation of ironing roller is evaluated on the basis of signal from frequency inverter. If the roller stops due to
any cause (it means either on purpose, e.g. by the button for reverse operation, by pushing the crank or safety
bar, or due to failure), then after 5s the siren starts whistling to warn about danger – burning of ironing belts.
CAUSE:
1.Pressing the button for reverse operation Press the button again for starting the reverse
operation or press „Start“ again to start the normal
operation.
2.The crank for manual rotating of the roller was
pushed Start the normal operation by the button „Start“.
When it is not possible, check, whether the crank
is not jammed in the insertion position, or the micro
switch got jammed on the crank (insidethe stand).
3.The safety bar was pushed Start the normal operation by the button „Start“.
4.Failure of drive Switch the machine OFF and ON again. If it’s not
possible to start it even now, cool it down by wet
linen and rotating the handle. After cooling the
machine down below 80°C, repair the drive.
ERROR 3: OVERLOADING OF VENTILATOR(S) MOTOR(S)
The machine is equipped with one, and at length 250 and 320 cm with two ventilators for exhaust of
evaporated humidity, or combustion gases from the gas burner. In motor winding of every ventilator there is
placed bimetal that detects overheating of the winding.
CAUSE:
1.Mechanical failure of ventilator Check ventilator(s).
2.Clogged exhaust pipeline Check and clean exhaust pipeline.
ERRORS 4 AND 5: SHORT CIRCUIT / INTERRUPTION OF TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Temperature sensor of ironing roller is pushed on the roller approximately in 1/3 of its length and it is
equipped with cable with silicone insulation, which withstands high temperatures of ironing roller without
problems. When the failure occurs, the sensor must be changed (repair is not possible).
ERROR 6: FAILURE OF DRIVE
Failure of the drive is evaluated on the basis of signal from frequency inverter.
CAUSE:
1.Failure message of frequency inverter Try to switch the machine OFF and ON again, or
let the inverter cool down. If it doesn’t help, look
for error according to individual instruction for
inverter.

508913C PUBLICATION DATE 25 AUG 2006.DOC PROGRAMMING MANUAL 11
ERROR 7: UNDER PRESSURE SWITCHES ARE OFF (GAS HEATING ONLY)
1 or 2 (according to width of machine) under pressure sensors detect correct function of combustion gases
exhaust. If the combustion gases exhaust is weak and there is a danger of spreading combustion gases to
the space around ironer, then under pressure switches will open and by this the gas valve gets closed and
the burner will turn off.
CAUSE:
1.Clogged exhaust pipeline, dust in ventilator
vanes, etc. Check and clean the whole route of combustion
gases exhaust.
2.Ventilator is not rotating at all Check motor of ventilator and electrical installation,
see also error 003.
ERROR 8: FAILURE OF BURNER IGNITION (GAS HEATING ONLY 50 HZ)
Ironer is equipped with automatic electronic system for the burner ignition and the flame guarding. If the
flame ignition is not successful, the system will bring out the error message. After confirmation this message
by the button for automatic finishing of ironing, a new trial to ignite the burner will be executed.
CAUSE:
1.Gas supply is closed Open the valve installed on the gas pipeline to
ironer.
2.Defect gas valve (in the ironer stand) Check the valve. Switching of the valve is
accompanied by audible click.
3.Wrong function of mixer Remove sieve of mixer and check, whether the jet
is not clogged and whether the sleeve above jet is
in correct height (see Maintenance manual).
4.Wrong position of ignition electrode Check, whether the electrode is covered with flame
when the burner is burning.
5.Defective ignition electrode Check, whether the electrode glows.
ERROR 9: CRANK FOR MANUAL ROTATION OF IRONING CYLINDER IS PUSHED
To avoid injury when pressing the crank during reverse operation, the crank is equipped with a safety
switch, which will stop the ironer when the crank is pushed. Then this error message is displayed.
CAUSE:
1.The crank is pushed Release the crank and start the machine with
„Start“ button or start reverse operation
2.Micro switch on the crank stayed activated Check the correct function of the micro switch
ERROR 10: THE TROUGH IS LIFTED UP (ONLY MACHINES WITH FRONT/REAR
DELIVERY)
Position of the trough is monitored to avoid an access into the machine inner space during operation.
If the trough opens during the machine operation, the error message is displayed and the machine changes
to safety condition (direction of balancing is switched forward, speed is reduced to minimum). After the trough
is closed, the error message is deleted, original speed as well as direction of balancing are reset.
CAUSE:
1.Trough is lifted up Close the trough
2.Micro switch of trough position is damaged Check the correct function of the micro switch
