Simulator Operation
The WE-6 simulator is an optional accessory to the
WE-6 microcomputer-controlled washer-extractor.
Refer to Figure 11. When the simulator is first
energized, the simulator display will show the program
(ROM) identification code for five seconds.
NOTE: Cycles programmed for freestanding
models are not compatible with cycles programmed
for rigid-mount machines and vice versa. DO NOT
transfer cycles from one of these models to another.

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
G
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
G
for teaching programming techniques to
individuals unfamiliar with the 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
G
marked RECHARGE on the front 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
G
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
G
batteries. These batteries will develop a
"memory" according to length of time used. For
example, if the simulator is habitually used for
U154
only one hour before recharging the batteries, the
battery pack will eventually retain this habit and
U154R
will power the simulator for only one hour before
charging is required. To remove the memory,
discharge the battery.
When replacing the battery, use an exact NiCad
G
replacement unit. Failure to do so will result in
damage to the simulator.
