the moving parts of the machine. When the machine goes out of
balance excessively during spinning, due to overload or accumulation
of the linen, the tilt switch will interrupt spinning to avoid damage.
IMPORTANT:
The feeler must be horizontally in the middle and vertically 1/3 of
the bottom of the tilt-switch control window (when the drum is
empty).
5.4.2 Electronic repeating device
Spinning is controlled by the electronic repeating device, which
commands the operation of the various motors during low and fast
spin.
Operation of the system:
During drainage, the system is activated and the following occurs:
a) The micromotor of the programmer stops.
b) The distribution speed is activated and the drain valve opens at
the same time.
c) When the machine is empty, the slow spin cycle starts at 500 rpm
(models 23, 26 and 33 at 420 rpm).
d) Fast spin at 1000 rpm (models 23, 26 and 33 at 900 rpm) starts
after 2'40" slow spin.
NOTE:
The fast spin cycle (1000 rpm; models 23, 26 and 33 at 900 rpm)
is controlled by the programmer.
Safety devices:
If the machine is out of balance during the spin cycle, the spin motor
stops running and the linen is redistributed by wash movement. After
30", a new attempt to spin will be made.(mod. 8-11-18 with cam)
NOTES:
- Every time the machine goes out of balance the spin time shortens
by 30".
- When the drain is clogged the machine will behave as if it was out
of balance.
- After power failure during the spin cycle, the machine starts from
step "a)", described above in "Operation of the system".
- If the thermal protection is triggered during the spin cycle, again,
the machine starts again from step "a", described here above in the
"Operation of the system".
5.5 Program time (see tab.b, page 4)
Code number IO.1126 - 220V (50 Hz).
Program time depends on the programmer, wiring, heating, thermal
control, and water level controls, etc.
The table on page 4 reports a schematic description of the programs
for a boiler-fed machine with standard programmer (no temperature
control or water level controls).
NOTE:
In programs 1 and 2, pre-wash can be adjusted to 4'30" or 6'30"
and main wash to 9' or 12', depending on the wiring. When the
machine goes out of balance during the spin cycle, the program will
be extended by 1' (see 5.4.2 "Electronic Repeating Device")
6. Maintenance of the machine
6.1 General maintenance
• Clean the entire fairing regularly and remove all traces of soap,
etc..
• Remove all soap remains from the soap dispenser by the use of
hot water.
• Clean the door gasket and remove all traces of soap or other
products.
• At the end of each working day shut off water, steam and electricity
19
supplies. For machines without heating system, do not change the
adjustment of the faucets .
• After use, leave the soap dispenser and the door of the machine
open to enable airing.
6.2 Periodical maintenance
• Two or three months after start up, tighten the V-belts of the motors,
which have undergone only one stretching after start up. If this
instruction is disregarded the belts will slip and break after some
months.
• Regularly check that the filters at the water inlets are not clogged.
• If the machine often skips the final spin, make sure that the tilt-
switch feeler is in the correct position. The feeler must be horizontally
in the middle and vertically 1/3 of the bottom of the tilt-switch control
window (when the drum is empty) (see 5.4.1, fig.14, and 5.4.2).
• A clogged or defective drain may activate the machine safety
device during spinning.
6.3 Repairs and after sales service
Do not hesitate to contact the technical department of your distributor
in the event of faults which you cannot solve by yourself.
