OPL-ADVANTAGE – OPL system
3 WORKING AND PROGRAMMING
3.1
Operating modes
3.1.1
Normal
The system will accept up to 9 selectable formulas, with each pump having individual run and delay times.
Pumps are triggered to run from signals from the washer. Run and delay times are controlled by the
electronics of the OPL-Advantage. Laundry personnel select the appropriate wash formula using the
"FORMULA SELECT" key before starting the wash cycle. The initial signal to pumps 1 - 6 will run "level" 1. If
these pumps are signaled a second time in the same formula, "level" 2 will run. (Assuming the signal
lockout time, if programmed, has expired) Pumps 1 – 6 will accept further signals with a change of formula
number, a signal to the Load Count Pump or by pressing the RESET button.
*** NOTE: SEKO's Automatic Switching Feature will allow programming of 3 or more
pumps to run simultaneously without loss of output)
"Two Level" programming is possible with Pumps 1 to 6. If no level 2 is needed, it can be bypassed by not
programming a pump run time for that level. The second signal will run the programmed second level.
3.1.2
Flushing
The Flush manifold activates with any pump signal, and then continues with a timed after flush, as
programmed, when the pump stops. The optional flow switch senses contact from the flushing action. (If a
flow switch is not used, a yellow wire jumper, located in the lower right area of the board, will be in place). A
"flush error" will occur when there is no contact (either by the switch or jumper) at the terminals while the
manifold runs. The letter "F" blinking in the pump window and the buzzer sounding indicates a flush error.
Pump "F" is programmed only when a flush manifold is used.
3.1.3
Relay
Laundry machines that have microprocessor controllers allow the OPL-Advantage to be programmed in relay
mode. In this mode, pumps run whenever a signal is present. Formulas are selected at the keypad of the
washer. The OPL-Advantage controller displays an "r" in the formula number window. Relay mode is set by
entering the access code, choosing formula "r" in the "FORMULA SELECT" window. To designate a load
count pump, refer to the Load Count section of this manual.
3.1.4
Drain
The capability of programming based on Drain function adds to the versatility of the OPL-Advantage. It
provides a user-friendly signal interface capability to machines where customary supply signals are not
present and/or in cases where the washer's supply signals are inoperative or faulty. Drain Mode requires
only one signal source.
