Mechanical and electrical design

Machine construction

Panels
The machines are equipped with a top panel made of stainless steel. The front panel is available in different colors or in stainless steel. The colored panels are made of phosphatized steel plate. For servicing purposes, the panel can easily be removed.

Outer shell

The outer shell is made of heavy gauge surgical steel and is attached to a heavy duty, rigid head casting (back gable). The whole assembly is mounted on a heavy gauge fabricated steel base, galvanized for long life and corrosion resistance.

Inner cylinder

The inner cylinder is made of perforated surgical stainless steel. It is equipped with three lifting ribs and has highly-polished side sheets and back with maximum embossed perforated area to assure high flow of water and supplies through fabrics. Scientifically correct ratio of cylinder diameter and depth assures maximum washing action. The shaft is electrically welded to the reinforced back of the cylinder. A specially designed chrome-plated sleeve bushing protects the seals from wear.

Rear gable and bearing

Fig. 33
The rear gable and the bearing trunnion housing are constructed of a webbed heavy casting for extra rigidity. There are two neoprene seals to protect from filtration of water. The sleeve bearings are water protected. An intermediate safety outlet provides an escapement for any possible condensation. The seals are mounted on a chrome-plated, specially hardened sleeve bushing that is mounted on the drum shaft to prevent wear of the seals and shaft. The main bearing is fitted machine-tight into the bearing trunnion housing. A C-clamp is placed on the shaft to prevent the cylinder from moving in and out. The extension of the bearing trunnion housing supports the rear bearing holding the shaft. The bearings are permanently lubricated and need no maintenance.

Door, description

Fig. 34
The door consists of a backing frame (1), door (2), glass (3) and door gasket (4). The backing frame and door are both made of enameled aluminium. The backing frame is bolted directly to the outer shell of the washing machine.The door hinges are fastened on the outside of the backing frame and the door lock (5) on the inside. The heat-hardened glass is mounted in the door using a special rubber seal which also acts as a gasket between the door and the washing machines outer shell when the door is closed.
Do not repair a faulty door lock. Allways replace the old unit with a new one, to assure proper operation of the door safety interlock.

Door lock, description

Fig. 35
The door lock consists of a circuit board (1) with a connector. Mounted on the board are the lock plate (2), against which the locking bolt turns to lock the door, and a microswitch (3) which closes when the locking bolt has locked the door. There is also a locking device on the circuit board which acts to lock the locking bolt in place when the machine starts up. The locking device consists of a double-acting solenoid (4), a delay unit (5) and the locking device itself (6) which operates sideways in blocking the locking bolt with a stud. The locking device can be affected by both the solenoid and the delay unit. The lock operates as follows: When the door is closed and the door handle is turned to move the locking bolt to the locking position, the micro switch is activated indicating that the door is properly shut. When the machine is started by turning the programmer knob to the ON position. Power is removed from the locking device solenoid, allowing the locking device to come forward and engage the locking bolt in the locking position. The washing machine motor will start and water enter the machine only after the delay unit receives the information that the door is locked. The bi-metallic spring in the delay unit is warmed up at the beginning of the program. Once the washing machine stops at the end of a cycle, the solenoid pulls back the locking stud and allows the door to open. The delay unit is spring-mounted in the locking device and is also pulled back by the solenoid. The solenoid operates for about two minutes to allow the bi-metallic spring to cool enough not to lock the door again. If current should disappear during a cycle, the delay unit will keep the door locked for about two minutes, ensuring that the wash water can drain out (The drain valve opens automatically when current is lost).

Overload protector
Before connecting a separate overload protector consult the local code. Single-phase machines are also equipped with a manually set overload protector mounted on the extract relay in the control unit. This overload protector protects the motor during the start-up of the extraction.

Removing the motor

Fig. 43
Remove the drain valve (1) from the long shaft by pulling it straight up. Remove the tensioning unit (2) on the rear of the motor. Disconnect the connector (3) placed diagonally under the rear edge of the motor. Remove the two screws (4). Pull the shaft forward slightly until the guide pins pull out of the shaft brackets. Remove the motor unit.
Mechanical and electrical design Water level controls

Fig. 44

One triple-level pressure switch controls the low and high water levels during various cycles of the washing program, and that there is water in the drum before flushing detergent starts. One double-level pressure switch checks that there is no water in the drum before the door can be opened and does not allow the machine to start extraction with water in the drum.

Adjustment

All pressure switches are factory-calibrated to meet specific requirements. The trip level for any one pressure switch can be changed only within narrow limits because each trip range requires a different set of springs.

Water level

As a guide for checking the level control for proper functioning, the low level should be at the bottom of the door glass, and the high level approximately three inches above it.

Rotation guard

The rotation guard checks that the drum is completely at a standstill before the door can be opened. When the drum has been still for approx. 2 seconds the coil in the door lock is activated and the lock can be opened (providing the water has emptied and the programmer has reset). This guard also checks that the drum is actually rotating when the wash or extraction relays are operating.

Fig. 45

The rotation guard consists off a circuit board located in the automatic unit and a pulse generator mounted in a holder on the rear of the machine. There is a magnet on one of the spokes of the belt pulley. Each time this magnet passes the pulse generator, a contact within the pulse generator closes and a pulse is sent to the rotation guard. The rotation guard exists in two versions, one for machines with an auxiliary transformer, the other for machines without. The two differ in the way that certain straps on the circuit board are arranged. Also, the version for machines with transformer has an LED which indicates error status on the board. The two versions are described on the pages which follow.

LED X90 X95 X96

Fusee F1
Mechanical and electrical desing
Rotation guard for machines without auxiliary transformer

Fig. 46

When the machine has halted, the rotation guard relay K1 is closed which means that the door lock coil Y4 will be energised an the door can be opened. Since the wash and extraction relays are not closed, relay K3 is not energised. When the machine starts and pulses are received from the pulse generator, relay K1 will switch immediately and it will not be possible to open the door. Since the machine's wash or extraction relay is energised, relay K3 closes after a delay of approx. 2 seconds. The rotation guard also checks that the drive belt has not broken. It works as follows: relay K3 is closed when the machine is working. If the belt breaks, the drum stops and the pulse generator stops transmitting pulses. After 2 seconds relay K1 closes. When this happens the circuit between phase (L1) and neutral (N) closes. The current increases so that main fuse F11 blows. The machine stops and the door remains locked until the bimetallic strip in the delay unit has cooled.

Inlet valves

Fig. 47
The valve has a single-inlet with either one, two or three outlets, each with its own solenoid. The body is made of heat-resistant polyamid plastic and the solenoids encased in water-tight plastic. A filter screen on the inlet side prevents dirt from entering the valve. Flow restrictors can be placed at either the inlet or any of the outlets.

Fig. 48

When the solenoid is energized, the springloaded plunger is drawn up and the pilot valve in the center of the diaphragm open. Because of the difference in diameter between the pilot valve opening and the ventilating hole in the diaphragm, the pressure above the diaphragm drops to a point where the admission pressure below the diaphragm can lift the diaphragm, thus opening the valve. When the current to the solenoid is cut off, the plunger spring will press the plunger against the pilot opening of the diaphragm. The pressure above the diaphragm then rises to correspond to the water inlet pressure and the pressure of the spring will close the valve.

Fig. 58

For powder supllies add detergent and fabric softener in the compartments on top of the machine: pre-wash detergent in compartment 1 main-wash detergent in compartment 2 liquid fabric softener in compartment 3 Follow dosage instructions on detergent package. When washing delicate fabrics, press GENTLE ACTION. This gives a more gentle treatment of fabrics.

Extraction

A card must be programmed to provide this function. Refer to the section on card programming.
During extraction, the ''drain'' phase must be programmed for at least 60 seconds before extraction starts. In addition, ''drain'' must be programmed during the entire extracting time.

Card programming Card programming

General

Fig. 67
Programmable cards are used to control the various sequences in a washing cycle. These have 16 ribs with pegs which act on the programmer integral micro-switches. Each rib has its own function. The card is fed through the programmer using mechanically transferred impules from the programmer motor. A function is selected by punching out one or more pegs depending on the amount of time desired. The rib are marked A through Q. In order to pinpoint function change-overs in time, every fifth peg is numbered along one edge using two different scales. One is for direct number identification of the pegs and the other to identify peg-number in relation to the front plate of the programmer. Rib function description: A - For powder supply: Flushing detergent from compartment 1. Programmed for 30 seconds together with water filling. If the water pressure is low, deter- gent supply should occur after water filling. Detergent supply can not be programmed before water filling. If external liquid supply us used, signal is given to connection 1. B - Thermostat 1 (Only heated machines). Desired temperature is set on the upper thermostat dial. Heat should be programmed after water filling and the appropriate detergent compartment has been emptied. C - For powder supply: Flushing detergent from compartment 2. See rib A for programming. (*If external liquid supply is used, signal is given to connection 2). D - Thermostat 2 (Only heated machines). Desired temperature is set on the lower thermostat dial. (See rib B for programming).

Programmed if a signal is desired after completed wash or when it is desirable to stop in mid-cycle for some reason. N - High water level. Punch for high level unpunched for low level. O - Cold water filling. Programmed for entire function period. EXAMPLE: Prewash 2 minutes - cold water programmed for two minutes. P - Cool down 3-4C/min. Programmed directly after main wash without an intervening drain period. Q - Hot water filling. Programmed for entire function period. The following must be observed when programming: First, a useful tip before you begin programming your card. Mark the pegs you want to remove with a felt tip pen. Then make an additional check before you begin to remove the pegs. A special pair of pliers is supplied for use when removing pegs.

Fig. 68

Rest position (programmed as row 0)
Each peg on the program card equals 30 seconds. (The time unit can be changed to 60 seconds.) To ensure reliable operation, make sure that the entire peg is removed. The program begins with step 0. Cut the peg before 0 in the same way as 0 to ensure a correct program start even though the card may be pushed too far into the controls. When programming Filling (rib marked O - cold water and/or Q - hot water, the program controls stop and start again when the level control provides a pulse to indicate that the level has been reached in the drum. The last pegs that have been cut away (e.g. peg 12) in a program phase determine which peg is to be removed in the subsequent stage.

Extraction Drain before and during extraction
Programming Extraction (rib marked H) shall always be preceded by Drain (rib marked K). This shall also be programmed during the entire extract cycle. Programming Stop with signal (rib marked M) can be carried out several times during the same wash program. When the program comes to Stop, a buzzer sounds and the machine stops. Press RESTART to restart the machine. RESTART may not be used without having a program card inserted in the machine. Use ribs C, I, A, E and G for signals when connecting external dispensing equipment. In such cases, we recommend that the flushing valves for detergent be disconnected electrically.

Programming example

The following card is programmed for normal soiled wash:

Pre-wash

Fig. 71
The pre-wash lasts for approximately 3 minutes (peg nos. o to 6. It begins with Filling with cold water and hot water to high water level and dispensing of detergent from compartment 1 (peg no. 0 in ribs N, A, O and Q cut away). Ribs N, A, O and Q are cut at peg no. 1 as a safety measure to ensure that the wash cycle is correct even though the program card may be pushed too far into the program controls. The program stops the card at peg no. 0 until the water level is reached. The running time once the water level and required temperature are reached is 2 minutes (peg nos. 1-5 cut away in ribs N, O and Q). Ribs B, I and Q are cut away for the entire prewash to ensure that the temperature and water level are maintained during the entire wash sequence. It is usually necessary to top up with water since the dry wash goods soak up a certain amount. The pre-wash is concluded with Drain for one minute (peg nos. 5 and 6 in rib K cut away).

Maintenance

Preventive maintenance has been reduced to a minimum by the careful design of reliable components and material. However, the following measures should be taken at regular intervals and in proportion to the hours of service.

IMPORTANT!

Make certain that all electrical power to the machine is shut off before removing top or rear panels.
Check the door lock and interlock before starting operations. The soap supply box should be cleaned at the end of each working day as follows: - Use a spatula to scrape loose any detergent which may have stuck on the inside of the dispenser. - Flush the loosened detergent with warm water. - Wipe dry and leave lid open.

Fig. 75

Check that the drain valve does not leak and that it opens properly. Check that the door does not leak. Clean residual detergent and foreign matter from the door gasket. Wipe the outside of the machine. When the machine is not in use, leave door slightly open to allow moisture to evaporate.

Weekly

Remove the hose from the drain connection and clean the inside of the drain valve.

Every three months

Fig. 76
Remove the rear panel of the machine and check that the V-belt of the wash motor is undamaged and correctly tensioned. Check that all tubing, piping and connections are free from leaks. Wipe and clean the inside of the machine, making sure that the control components are protected from moisture and dirt during the cleaning operation.

The FL HI-TEK model washer/extractors have been developed to cover the heavy duty requirements of hotels, motels, nursing homes, hospitals, professional laundries, restaurants, airlines, ships, schools, colleges and all on-premises laundries where flexibility and quick formula variation coupled with high quality automatic washing are required. The microcomputer controlled FL HI-TEK model allows for complete programming of water temperatures, water levels, wash and extraction periods and supply injections. The machine is designed for connection to hot and cold water supplies and may be used with free-standing powder or liquid supply injectors which can be activated by signals from the machine. All parts of the machine which come into contact with the items being washed are made of heavy gauge surgical stainless steel, ensuring long life and lasting beauty, as well as full protection for no-iron fabrics. All electrical components are made accessible for servicing by simply removing the top panel. This manual contains a technical description of the machine and instructions for its installation, operation and maintenance. Together with the wiring diagram which accompanies each individual machine it should be kept in a safe place for easy reference. When ordering spare parts or contacting the manufacturer for any purpose always give the machine serial number, model, voltage and other electrical characteristics appearing on the dataplate at the rear of the machine.

Water connection

All plumbing must conform to national and local plumbing codes.

Fig. 11

Incoming water lines do not require non-return or back-suction valves, as the machine is already fitted with a siphon breaker. However, all incoming lines must be fitted with shut-off valves. Use flexible water hoses of proper length to avoid sags and kinks.

Fig. 12

Water inlets are labelled for hot and cold water connection. Flush the water system thoroughly and check that the filter at the machine inlet is fitted correctly.

Mechanical and electrical design Machine construction

Outer shell

The outer shell is made of heavy gauge surgical steel and is attached to a heavy duty, rigid head casting (back gable). The whole assembly is mounted on a heavy gauge fabricated steel base, galvanized for long life and corrosion resistance.

Inner cylinder

The inner cylinder is made of perforated surgical stainless steel. It is equipped with three lifting ribs and has highly-polished side sheets and back with maximum embossed perforated area to assure high flow of water and supplies through fabrics. Scientifically correct ratio of cylinder diameter and depth assures maximum washing action. The shaft is electrically welded to the reinforced back of the cylinder. A specially designed chrome-plated sleeve bushing protects the seals from wear.

Rear gable and bearing

Fig. 30
The rear gable and the bearing trunnion housing are constructed of a webbed heavy casting for extra rigidity. There are two neoprene seals to protect from filtration of water. The sleeve bearings are water protected. An intermediate safety outlet provides an escapement for any possible condensation. The seals are mounted on a chrome-plated, specially hardened sleeve bushing that is mounted on the drum shaft to prevent wear of the seals and shaft. The main bearing is fitted machine-tight into the bearing trunnion housing. A C-clamp is placed on the shaft to prevent the cylinder from moving in and out. The extension of the bearing trunnion housing supports the rear bearing holding the shaft. The bearings are permanently lubricated and need no maintenance.

Construction in general

The motor consists of stator, rotor and endshields with ball-bearings. The stator and the rotor consists of plates, insulated from each other and welded together. The stator is provided with slots in which the 2-pole and 18-pole windings are wound. The windings are impregnated with a temperature-resistant sound-insulating resin varnish according to class B. The end-shields are die-cast. The ball bearings are permanently lubricated.
Construction of single-phase motor
Single-phase motors have an 18-pole winding (wash-speed) the same as three-phase motors, using a continous connected capacitor, while the 2-pole winding (extract-speed) is a specially designed winding with both continous connected capacitor and starting capacitor.
Function of 3-phase motor
When the stator winding is charged, a magnetic field will occur, which in turn will rotate the rotor at a fixed RPM depending upon the number of poles in the winding. The 18-pole winding gives the wash speed and the 2-pole winding the extract-speed. When operating with load, the speed deviates slightly from the synchronous (no-load) speed. This difference is called the slip and is usually expressed as a percentage of the syncronous speed. The motors will work satisfactorily at nominal voltage +10%-15%.
Function of single-phase motor
When the stator winding is charged without a capacitor, two counteracting magnetic fields are created. When a capacitor is connected, it will displace one of the two magnetic fields adding it to the other, creating a torque turning the rotor in a specific direction. The RPM is the same as for the 3-phase motor.

Motor overload protector

The motor is equipped with two self-resetting, thermal overload protectors, situated one in each winding of the stator. The protectors are connected in series and will trip at a temperature of 120C (248F) (3-phase) or 130C (266F) (single phase). In the event the protectors fail but the motor remains otherwise undamaged, an overload protector may be mounted in the control unit of the machine. Before making such installation check to ascertain that the windings are not damaged. A burned out motor can be re-wound.

LEVEL RESET is the value which regulates at which level water is to be refilled if the water level drops while a wash is in progress. Example: The following values are programmed: Level: 130 units Level reset: 10 units This means that: Water is filled to level 130 at the beginning of the sub-program. If the water level sinks below level 120 (130-10) during the course of the program, the water level is refilled to level 130. Select a level between 0-255. Values greater than the level value mean that no water will be added. The recommend value is 20 units.
