Simulator Operation
The WE-6 simulator is an optional accessory
to the WE-6 microcomputer-controlled UWPV
washer-extractor. See Figure 6. When the
simulator is first energized, the simulator
display will show the program (ROM)
identification code for five seconds.
Note: Cycles programmed for rigid-mount
UWPV machines are not compatible with
cycles programmed for freestanding UF
models and vice versa. Also, cycles for UWPV
machines are not compatible with cycles for
UWP machines. DO NOT transfer cycles from
one of these models to another.
Figure 6
All programming instructions in this manual
apply to the simulator as well.
The simulator is a hand-held unit which serves
more than one purpose:
• The simulator's primary purpose is to
preprogram cycles for transfer to the
washer-extractor and to transfer program
cycles between the washer-extractor and
the simulator in either direction.

• As an instructional aid, the simulator
can be used for teaching programming
techniques to individuals unfamiliar with
the UWPV WE-6 microcomputer.
The keypad and LED display are mounted on
the top of the simulator. The ON/OFF rocker
switch is located on the front end-panel.
The handle pivots to serve as a stand when
using the simulator on a table. To pivot the
handles, grasp them at the point of attachment
to the main housing and gradually pull the
handle sides outward until the ends disengage
from the splined mounting holes. Pivot the
handles to the desired position and release.
The simulator is battery powered and is
supplied with an AC transformer which
produces 12VDC at 500mA to recharge the
battery pack from a 120V wall plug.
• The transformer is plugged into the power
jack marked RECHARGE on the front
end-panel of the simulator. The battery
pack will be charged only while the
simulator is turned on and is operating
from the transformer.
• A fully charged battery pack will give
about 3 hours of operation before
recharging is necessary. Allow about 24
hours to fully recharge the battery pack

with the transformer.
• 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.
