Installation instructions

Machine foundation

The machines are designed to be bolted in position to a concrete floor or specially prepared concrete foundation. A template showing the size of the foundation and positioning of the foundation bolts is delivered with each machine.

For installation on an existing concrete floor, the floor must be at least 8" thick and of good quality. If the floor does not meet these requirements, then a 6-8" high concrete foundation should be made. A prefabricated steel base is available for mounting of machines without an additional foundation.

Follow the instructions below when making a concrete foundation:

1. Decide where to place the machine and consider maintenance requirements, i.e. determine a suitable distance from the rear of the foundation to the wall, and the distance from the foundation to the nearest side wall. The distance should be at least 18 and 2 inches, respectively. See illustration and table with dimensions on page 10.
2. Break up the floor to a depth of 3 inches, making sure that the sides of the hole slope inwards – the bottom of the hole should be 5 inches longer than the upper length.
3. Wet the hole well. Brush the bottom and sides with cement grout.
4. Prepare a casing and fill with concrete to form foundation. Make sure the foundation is level.
5. Use the template to position the foundation bolts correctly – bolts are to extend 1-1/2" above concrete.

NOTE: A prefabricated steel frame, designed to be placed in the concrete instead of the individual mounting bolts, is available.

Mechanical Installation

• Place wide steel shims on the concrete foundation over the bolts.
• Lift the machine and lower it in position. Never use the door or the door handle to lift or lower the machine.
• Check that the machine is level front to rear and side-to-side and standing firmly on the four supporting points. Spacing washers must be mounted if one or more of these points is not resting against the floor/foundation.
• Place flat washers over the foundation bolts and secure the machine in position by tightening the self-locking nuts. See illustration below.
• Check and tighten the nuts every week for the first month.

Electrical installation

The machines are fitted with a thermal overload in the motor windings and a separate fuse for the control circuit. However, a separate three-phase common-trip circuit breaker must be installed for all three-phase machines.

For proper overcurrent protection, check the data plate of the rear of the machine. Also consult local electrical code for special requirements.

Connect L1, L2, L3 and ground according to the markings of the terminal block. The cable is to hang in a large loose loop, supported by the clip of the terminal block.

On three-phase machines: start the machine and check that the drum rotates in the proper direction during extraction, i.e. counter-clockwise when seen from the front. If the drum rotates in the wrong direction, interchange line L1 and L3 at the power connection terminal. Check the incoming power for a high voltage leg. If present, connect that line to L2 on the terminal block.

Water connection

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.

• Flush the water system thoroughly and check that the filter in the machine inlet is fitted correctly.
• Connect the machine to the water mains with 3/4" reinforced rubber hosing not to be exceed 6 ft in length. Hang the hosing in a large loop. Do not use rigid piping.
  • Water inlets are labelled for hot and cold water connection.

Drain connection

Connect a 3" (75 mm) flexible hose to the drain outlet of the machine. The drain hose must not have any sharp bends and must slope from the machine to assure proper drainage. The outlet must open freely to the main drains.

Do not reduce the size of the drain connection from the machine to the waste line.

Steam connection

Steam heated machines are delivered with a filter in the inner drum, which has to be mounted on the inlet side. Use flexible steam hose only, with a working pressure of 140 psi max.

NOTE

All plumbing must conform to national and local plumbing codes.

Start-up and safety checklist

Start-up and Safety Checklist

Before initial start-up of a Wascomat washer-extractor, the following safety checks must be performed:

• Make sure the machine is properly bolted to the floor.
• Make sure that all electrical and plumbing connections have been made in accordance with applicable local codes.
• Use only flexible water fill and drain hose connections of the proper length to avoid sags and kinks.
• Make sure the machine is properly grounded electrically.

Before machine is operated, door safety interlock must be checked for proper operation as follows:

• When washer loading door is open, the machine must not start. Verify this by attempting to start washer with door open.
• When washer is in operation, the loading door is locked and cannot be opened. Verify this by attempting to open the loading door when the machine is operating. If necessary, consult this manual for proper operation of the door lock and door safety interlock or call a qualified serviceman.

IMPORTANT:

Door safety interlock must be checked daily in accordance with above procedure.

WARNING:

Before servicing Wascomat equipment, disconnect electrical power.

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, hot-dip 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 chrom-plated sleeve bushing protects the seals from wear.

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 panels can easily be removed.

Back Gable and Bearing

The back gable and the bearing trunnion housing are constructed of a webbed heavy casting for extra rigidity. The bearings are protected against filtration of water by three neoprene seals. An intermediate safety outlet provides an escapement for any possible condensation.

The seals are mounted on a chrome-plated, non-corrosive, specially hardened sleeve bushing that is mounted on the drive shaft to prevent wear of the seals and shaft. The main bearing is fitted machine-tight into the bearing trunnion housing. On the W74 and W124 the main bearing is held in place with a C-clamp to prevent the cylinder from moving in and out. On the W184 and W244 a nut is tightened on the shaft instead.

The extension of the bearing trunnion housing supports the rear bearing holding the shaft. A grease seal is mounted to prevent escape of grease. The bearings are permanently lubricated and need no maintenance.

Door description

The door is made of stainless steel and is equipped with a flat door gasket, which acts as a seal to prevent water leakage and also holds the heat-hardened door glass.

Door lock description

See exploded view on opposite page. The door lock assembly is mounted on a die-cast bracket (1), which is mounted to the front gable of the outer drum.

The door lock consists of a DC-solenoid (2), door swithes (4) and a catch (3). The door handle of the machine has a latch, which engages the lock and the door safety switch(5).

Door lock operation

As the door is closed, the door switches are activated through notches in the door skirt.

When the machine starts, the delay circuit in the control panel becomes energized and the capacitor (d) is charged via the diode (a) and the resistor (b). The voltage will be about 90-120 V DC*. When the machine is stopped the capacitor will keep the solenoid engaged for about 20 seconds ensuring that the cylinder has stopped turning and is emptied of water.

*This voltage energizes the door lock solenoid, causing the rod to be drawn forward, engage the door latch and in turn activate the door safety switch which then allows machine to start.

Trouble shooting the door lock and interlock

If the machine does not start:

Check that all three switches are activated when the door is locked.

Adjustment can be made after the front panel of the machine has been removed.

If the solenoid does not lock the door:

Check that the solenoid becomes energized (90-120 V DC).

Check that the catch can easily move forward and backward.

Check that the catch has not become obstructed.

Sequence diagram of reversing section of timer

Timer

The timer has two assemblies of disc. cams. These assemblies are capable of operating independently on the same shaft are driven by two timer motors through gears on an escapement. Each contact is a single pole double throw switch. The timer motor on the 0-8 contact bankside turns the cam assembly that controls the reversing contacts and the contacts that control the wash relay and impulse to the program timer motor mounted on 10-18 contact side. This motor controls the program functions of the machine from start to stop.

The complete timer sequence diagram is shown on opposite page.

Relays

The W74, 124 and 184-models employ two relays. Viewed from the front, the first relay is for providing electrical power to the wash windings of the motor and the second is for the extract windings.

The two are identical except for the addition of a normally-closed pair of contacts on the extract relay.

The W244 has one additional relay for the distribution windings of the wash motor.

Construction

The body of the relay holding the stationary contacts is made of current-resistant plastic. A solenoid and a contact bank hold the moving contacts. The contacts are spring-loaded to assure the correct contact pressure.

The relay is constructed for continuous operation, whether mounted horizontally or vertically.

Screw-type terminals provide perfect connections even when one or two wires have different diameters.

The wash relay makes use of three normally-open contacts while the extract relay uses an additional normally-closed one.

Operation

When the solenoid is energized, the two halves of the magnet core are drawn together, pulling down the moving contacts, thus making or breaking the circuit. When the current cuts out, springs force the contact bank into its original position, thus closing or opening the circuits.

Trouble shooting

If the relay fails to operate despite power to the coil, turn off the power and check the solenoid by measuring the resistance across the terminals (1).

If the relay hums when power is applied, this indicates either a break in the insulator holding the moving contacts at the axle where it holds the top half of core (3) or a rusty core (4), which can be cleaned.

Make sure that the moving contact assembly moves freely. Always replace burnt or pitted contacts (2) ... do not reuse contacts.

Drive motor

Drive motor description W74, W124 and W184

The two-speed motor of the W74, W124 and W184 is mounted on a hinged base, making tension adjustment on the belt automatic. For silent operation the motor hinge is provided with rubber bushings.

Drive motor description, W244

The three-speed operation of the wash cylinder is achieved by two motors. One 2-speed motor for wash speed (12-pole drive) and distribution speed (8-pole drive) and one single speed motor for extraction speed (4-pole drive). The motors are mounted on a motor bracket, the extract motor fixed to the bracket, the wash and distribution motor in slots which allow adjusting the distance between the two motors for proper belt tension by adjusting screws. For silent operation the motor bracket is mounted to the base of the machine by rubber bushings. Correct tension to the main belt, between the cylinder and the extract motor, is obtained by the weight of the motors and the motor bracket and by the spring loaded set screws.

Construction of three-phase

W74, W124, W184 and W244 motors

The motor consists of stator, rotor and end-shields with ball-bearings. The stator and the rotor consist of plates, insulated from each other and welded together. The stator is provided with slots in which the 2-pole and 18-pole windings (the 8-pole and 12-pole resp. 4-pole windings for W244) 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, W74, W124 and W184

Single-phase motors have an 18-pole winding (wash-speed) the same as three-phase motors, using a continuous connected run capacitor, while the 2-pole winding (extract-speed) is a specially designed winding using a continuous connected run capacitor and, on the W124 and W184, a start capacitor which is disengaged when the motor reaches the proper speed.

Function of 3-phase motor, W74, W124 and W184

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 synchronous 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.

Function of W244 motors

When the stator winding is charged, a magnetic field will occur, which in turn will rotate the motor at a fixed RPM depending upon the number of poles in the winding. The 12-pole winding gives the wash speed and the 8-pole winding in the same motor gives the distribution speed. The separate 4-pole motor gives the extraction 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 synchronous speed. The motors will work satisfactorily at nominal voltage +10%-15%.

Motor overload protector

The motor is equipped with two self-resetting, thermal overload protectors, situated one in the each winding of the stator. The protectors are connected in series and will trip at a temperature of 120^ C ( 248^ F) (3-phase) or 130^ C ( 266^ F) (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.

NOTE

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.

How to remove the W74, W124 and W184 motor

Lift the motor with a wooden black and take off the V-belt. Remove the C-clamps securing the motor hinge shaft. Then take a suitable piece of pipe and tap out the hinge shaft. Be sure that the motor rests on the wood blocking as otherwise it may be damaged.

How to remove W244 motors

Loosen the spring loaded set screw. Lift the motor unit and detach the V-belts. Dismount the bracket holding the motor hinge shaft. Lift out the motor bracket with motors mounted. Loosen the mounting screws of the wash/distribution motor and the set screws. Lift off the V-belts. Now remove the mounting screws for each motor and the guide pins for the wash/distribution motor.

How to mount the W74, W124 and W184 motor

Lift the motor into place after having mounted the rubber bushings. Do not forget the washers when mounting the motor hinge shaft. Secure the motor hinge shaft with the two C-clamps and make sure that they rest properly in the grooves.

How to mount W244 motors

Place the motors on the table or bench with the mounting holes upwards. Mount the guide pins on the wash/distribution motor. Then mount the mounting bracket to the extract motor. Position the other motor and fasting the mounting screws. Mount the V-belts. Tighten the belts. Mount the bracket with motors in the machine in the opposite way as outlined above in "How to remove motors".

Water level controls

One double-level pressure switch is used to control the correct water levels during various cycles of the washing program.

A second level control is installed on the machines to prevent the machine from going into extraction until a sufficient amount of water has been drained.

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.

Inlet valves for W74 and W124 supply injection valve for W184 and W244

Construction

The valves are all single-inlet with either one, two or three outlets, each with its own solenoid coil.

The bodies are made of heat-resistant polyamid plastic and the solenoids encased in water-tight plastic. The electrical connector terminals are spade lugs.

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.

Operation

When the solenoid is energized, the spring-loaded 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.

0307

Repair instructions

Limescale can block the hole in the valve diaphragm and interfere with the function of the valve.

It is therefore advisable to dismantle and clean the valve at certain regular intervals. The frequency depends on operating conditions and the level of contamination in the water.

If the valve does not open

• Check that power is supplied to the coil.
• Check the coil with an instrument to determine whether there is a break or a short circuit.
• Dismantle the valve (see below) and check the openings in the valve diaphragm.
• Check the inlet strainer and clean as required.
• Undo the coil and clean the surfaces of the magnetic core.

If the valve does not close

• Check that the coil is not live. The valve is normally closed when the magnet is not energised.
• Check the plunger spring.
• Check the diaphragm (pilot pressure opening).

Dismantling the valve

• Pull the coil straight upwards. Use a screwdriver if necessary to carefully undo the coil.
• Use the tool supplied (attached to one of the hoses when the machine is delivered) to open the valve housing. Slide the tool over the protruding plastic sleeve so that the pegs on the tool engage the corresponding sockets in the valve housing.
• Use a spanner or a pair of pliers and unscrew the upper part of the valve housing.

Inlet valve for W184 and W244

The water inlets on the W184 and W244 have brass bodies with larger cross section of the outlet in order to achieve a shorter filling time for the machine.

Construction

The valve housing is made of pressed brass. The spring-loaded plunger is made of stainless steel and located at its lower end is a rubber gasket for the pilot valve.

Operation

The valve is automatically operated by means of a rubber diaphragm and a pilot valve in exactly the same way as the supply injector valve.

NOTE: To strip, clean, re-assemble and troubleshoot the inlet valve, follow the instructions outlined for the supply injector valve.

Clean out

At water temperatures of more than 60^ / 140^ , the lime deposits are heavily increased. This can cause function problems due to blocking up the equalizing orifice of the valve.

The fault can be eliminated by cleaning equalizing orifice (marked A).

If there are much deposits the orifice can be changed from 0,5 mm to 0,8 mm. The screwhead of the orifice is marked with 1 ring for the size of 0,5 mm and 2 rings for the size of 0,8 mm.

Clean the orifice as follows:

1. Shut off the main supply.
2. Unscrew the orifice.
3. Clean the hole in the orifice carefully with a pin or similar not thicker than 0,5 mm resp. 0,8 mm.
4. Mount the orifice, be careful with sealing and tighten.
5. Open the main supply.

Soap supply box

The three-compartment soap supply box is located at the top of the machine. Viewed from the front, the compartments marked with figures 1, 2 and 3 are used as follows:

Compartment 1

This compartment is used for adding detergent to the wash at the beginning of a cycle or at any time during the cycle when extra supplies are required. Rib F.

Compartment 2

This is the main compartment adding detergent to the wash when called for by rib A on the formula card.

Compartment 3

The small compartment is used to adding fabric softener. The fabric softener is flushed down with water by overflowing when the injection of fabric softener is called by rib E on the formula card.

Drain valve

Description

The drain valve consists of a bracket (1), on which are mounted the motor and gear (2) and diaphragm (3). The rubber diaphragm is resistant to a water temperature up to 100^ C ( 212^ F). The installation of a lint trap is not necessary. The machine is equipped with an overflow, which bypasses the drain valve. The drain can be cleaned by removing the drain connection (4) outside of the machine or by removing the rubber diaphragm (3). The motor and gear assembly is covered by a plate and provided with quick connect electrical connections. The stator coil is constructed for continuous operation.

Operation

The drain valve is normally open, i.e. the motor does not close the valve until it receives current via a contact of the timer. As soon as the current is cut, the shaft turns and opens the diaphragm of the valve. This also permits the machine to drain, in the event of power failure. The overflow hose (5) leads excess water or suds directly to the waste line, in the event of failure in the inlet valves or level control.

Trouble-shooting

If the valve does not open or close properly:

1. Check that the shaft is moving freely.
2. Check that the diaphragm is not obstructed.
3. Check the coil for continuity.

Clean out

Periodic cleaning of the valve is recommended, depending upon how often the machines are used, as well as the type of wash handled most frequently.

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.

Daily

• Check 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.
• 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 machine is not in use, leave door slightly open to allow moisture to dry.

Weekly

- Remove hose from drain connection and clean inside drain valve.

Every three months

• Remove the cover plates 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.

Trouble-shooting

The purpose of the trouble-shooting guide is to facilitate the location and correction of the most common machine problems.

Before the top panel is removed, power to the machine is to be switched off at the main source or at the separate circuit breaker.

At each trouble-shooting attempt, the plug in connectors on the control panel should be moved in and out in order to eliminate improper contact due to faulty connection.

Please note that this guide does not include all possibilities, but only those most likely to cause the symptoms listed.

In trouble-shooting electrical problems, always make certain to have the proper electrical schematic or wiring diagram at hand. Test for power using a V-O-M or similar meter on the AC voltage scale. Test for continuity with all electrical power off.
