• The simulator battery pack contains NiCad
batteries. These batteries will develop a
"memory" according to length of time
used. For example, if the simulator is
habitually used for only one hour before
recharging the batteries, the battery pack
will eventually retain this habit and will
power the simulator for only one hour
before charging is required.
• When replacing the battery, use an exact
NiCad replacement unit. Failure to do so
will result in damage to the simulator.
The WE-6 simulator and the WE-6
microcomputer are capable of storing and
running up to 39 cycles, each limited to
51 steps.
• The computer will not accept cycle
numbers higher than 39.
• If an attempt is made to add a step to a
cycle that already contains 51 steps, the
computer will display "CYFULL" and
refuse additional steps.
The front end-panel of the simulator holds the
RECEIVE and TRANSMIT ports for the optic
cables used in program transfers.
• When transferring cycles from simulator
to computer or computer to simulator, the
colored plugs on the ends of the optic
cables must match the colors of the ports
on the simulator and on the washer-
extractor's control module (gray to gray,
blue to blue).
• If a mistake is made connecting the
cables, the display will flash "CONN"
and "ERROR" when the Enter key is
pressed during the last step of the cycle
transfer process.
On the rear end-panel of the simulator are
6 toggle switches used to simulate various
F232050
Programming
normal operations of the washer-extractor.
These 6 switches simulate or control the
PROGRAM/RUN modes, LOW LEVEL,
MEDIUM LEVEL, HIGH LEVEL, DOOR
OPEN/DOOR CLOSED, and BALANCE.
Figure 8
All the switches must be in the down position
to simulate a machine at rest.
• If the PROGRAM/RUN switch is in the up
position, the simulator is placed in the
PROGRAM mode.
• If the LOW LEVEL switch is in the up
position, a low level water fill is simulated
and the appropriate LED on the display is
illuminated. The MEDIUM LEVEL and
HIGH LEVEL switches operate similarly.
• When a cycle programmed in the
simulator is running, the LEVEL switches
must be activated at the appropriate times
in the cycle to indicate to the computer
that the levels have been reached and that
the machine is empty.
• If the DOOR OPEN/DOOR CLOSED
switch is flipped to the up position
(DOOR OPEN) while a cycle is running,
the "DOOR" alarm will be displayed.
