b. Now enter the desired temperature for the
machine to maintain during the wash step.
Three digits must be entered for the
temperature. If the desired temperature is less
than 100 degrees, the first digit must be 0. The
valid temperature range is 80–200 degrees
Fahrenheit and
25–93 degrees Centigrade. The computer will
not accept temperatures outside of this range.
If 100 degrees Fahrenheit is selected, the
display will read “100Fcc.”
c. Now proceed with step 5 above.
Programming a Wash 5 Thermal
Cool-down
After programming a heat step, it may be desirable to
program a temperature-controlled thermal cool-down
to gradually reduce the temperature of the load and
prevent fiber shock from sudden cool-down.
The temperature-controlled cool-down provides a
gradual cooling down from a higher temperature to a
lower temperature. The WE-6 monitors the
temperature of the water in the washer and attempts to
maintain an approximate cool-down rate of three
degrees per minute by periodically energizing the cold
water fill valve.
When the programmed time for the step expires, the
computer will advance to the next step regardless of
whether or not the cool-down temperature has been
reached. If the cool-down temperature is reached
before the time expires, the computer will advance to
the next step.
During the cool-down, the drain will remain closed
and water will exit through the overflow connection.
The cylinder will rotate in a normal reversing mode as
during a Wash 1 step.
Assuming that the computer is in the program mode
and that a heat step has been created and entered, use
the following procedure to program the thermal cool-
down. (Do not program a drain step before the Wash 5
step.)
1. Press the Wash key and then key 5. The display
will read “W5nncc.”
2. Press the Enter key. The display will read either
“080F” or “025C,” depending on whether
Centigrade or Fahrenheit is prompted.
3. Enter the desired temperature for the load to cool
down to. Three digits must be used for the
temperature. If the desired target temperature is
less than 100 degrees, the first digit must be “0.”
The valid temperature range is 80–200 degrees
Fahrenheit and 25–93 degrees Centigrade. The
computer will not accept temperatures outside of
this range. (The cool-down rate will be affected
by the temperature of the cold water available.) If
100 degrees Fahrenheit is selected, the display
will read “100Fcc.”
4. When the desired cool-down temperature is
displayed, press the Enter key. The display will
show “H--M.” Now enter the maximum time in
hours and minutes for the computer to reach the
target cool-down temperature.
Experimentation may be necessary to determine
the exact time required with each installation to
enable the computer to reach the target cool-
down temperature. Use the edit feature to revise
the Wash 5 step during the experimentation
process.
When the computer performs the Wash 5 step,
the temperature in the sump must be greater than
the target cool-down temperature. Otherwise, the
computer will advance past the Wash 5 step.
5. When the desired time is displayed, press the
Enter key and proceed with the next step in the
cycle.
Programming No Reversing
All agitation is programmed by first pressing the
Wash key and then pressing either key 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
for the type of agitation desired during the wash step.
If no reversing is desired (rotation continuous in one
direction), use the following procedure:
a. Press the Wash key.
b. Then press either key 1 or key 2.
c. Then press the No Reverse key.
d. Then press the Enter key.
The display will show either “W1nncc” or “W2nncc,”
depending on the kind of agitation selected. The
display will not indicate that the no-reverse option was
selected, but the machine will obey the instructions.
NOTE: The no-reverse option is normally used
with Wash 1 steps but may be used with other
appropriate functions. The no-reverse option may
be programmed in wash, supply, heat, and overflow
steps. The No Reverse key must be pressed just
prior to pressing the Enter key when programming
a step. See No. 4 under Programming a Wash Step.
