OVERVIEW
Wired Solution
The wired solution supports up to 60 laundry machines (see Figure 1 below). In laundry centers with 20 or fewer
machines, you only need a single LCM20, which is installed inside the LC3000 enclosure. If your laundry center
supports more than 20 machines, a multiplexer (an LCM20) and an enclosure (LE3/PSENCL) are needed for each
additional set of 20 laundry machines. The LC3000 reader can support a maximum of three (3) multiplexers.
A machine interface (an LCI), which is a wiring harness that communicates with the laundry machine controller, is
connected to a cable within a multiplexer (LCM20). This machine interface must be installed in every laundry machine
to facilitate communication between the laundry machines and the LC3000 laundry reader unit. Several models of
machine interfaces are available. Use Table 1 (on page 8) to determine the correct machine interface (LCI) model
number, based on the manufacturer and model of your laundry machines.

WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION
Laundry Installation and Setup Guide 23
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION
A wireless laundry center can support up to 60 laundry machines (see Figure 2 on page 7). The configuration uses a
Wireless Bridges (LE3/BRIDGE) to connect to the LC3000 Reader and Laundry Wireless Interface (LWI30XX) installed
in each laundry machine. THe LE3/BRIDGE and LWI30XX communicate over an RF radio link, eliminating the need for
wiring between the reader and laundry machines. The Wireless Laundry System components are listed and explained
below.
Wireless Bridge (LE3/BRIDGE)
An LE3/BRIDGE includes a Wireless Interface Module, an enclosure, and a cable, as shown in Figure 16. The Bridge
accepts commands from the LC3000 over RS-485 and communicates to LWI30XXs installed in the laundry machines.
Laundry Wireless Interface (LWI30xx)
An LWI30XX includes a Wireless Interface
Module and a wiring harness (see Figure 17:
Wireless Interface Module and Wiring
Harness (page 24). The wiring harness
connects the Wireless Interface Module to the
control board of the laundry machine. Before
your installation, select the appropriate
LWI30XX model number based on the
manufacturer and model number of each
laundry machine (see Table 1: Laundry
System Components, on page 8).
Figure 16: Wireless Bridge component (LE3/BRIDGE)

2Configure the LE3/BRIDGE Wireless Module (page 25)
3Configure the LWI30XX for Laundry Machines (page 25)
4Install the LWI30XX in Laundry Machines (page 26)
LE3/BRIDGE Placement
A plastic enclosure is provided with the LE3/BRIDGE. The enclosure is used to house the Wireless Interface Module
and must be mounted externally from the LC3000. Use the following criteria to select the appropriate placement:
• Mount in centrally located area to minimize distance
to any laundry machine.
• Mount on ceiling or elevated location to increase
range.
• Avoid locations near metal objects.
• Avoid having obstructions or barriers between the
LE3/BRIDGE and laundry machines.
Figure 17: Wireless Interface Module and Wiring Harness
Mount the LE3/BRIDGE
The LE/3 BRIDGE must be mounted external to the LC3000.Select the appropriate hardware and mount the LE3/
BRIDGE plastic enclosure.
1Install 3/4” PVC conduit from the LC3000 to the LE3/BRIDGE enclosure.
2The LE3/BRIDGE includes a wiring harness with an RJ-45 connector and 22-pin Molex connector.
The 22-pin connector plugs into the wireless module. The RJ-45 connector must be connected to the RJ-45 jack
identified as BRIDGE RS-485 on the LC3000. Connection between the two requires installing a patch cable and
using an RJ-45 inline coupler. Pull a patch cable (CAT5) through the conduit and install the inline coupler. Connect
the LE3/BRIDGE wiring harness to the inline coupler.
WIRELESS LAUNDRY SYSTEM INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Laundry Installation and Setup Guide 25
WIRELESS LAUNDRY SYSTEM INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Configure the LE3/BRIDGE Wireless Module
A network ID must be assigned to the LE3/BRIDGE. Since the
LC3000 can support multiple LE3/BRIDGES, the network ID identifies
which LE3/BRIDGE will respond to a poll. A network ID is also
assigned to each LWI30XX installed in a laundry machine, allowing it
to respond to a specific LE3/BRIDGE.
Network ID numbers range from 1 through 7. Always select a Network
ID that has not been chosen on a nearby network or previously
assigned to an additional LE3/BRIDGE attached to the same LC3000.
A nearby network is considered any installation that exists within the
same building and/or less than 500 feet away.
1Plug the RJ-45 connector from the patch cable connected to the
LE3/BRIDGE wireless module into the RJ-45 jack of the LC3000,
labeled “LWI CONFIG” (see Figure 18).
The LC3000 will request a network ID.
2Enter a number from 1 to 7 to assign to the LE3/BRIDGE.
The LC3000 will request a configuration type: BRIDGE or LWI.
3Select BRIDGE as the configuration type.
4Remove the RJ-45 connector from the LWI CONFIG jack of the
LC3000 and re-install the RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 jack
labeled “BRIDGE RS-485. The LE3/BRIDGE is now operational.
Figure 18: LWI Config Port on LC3000
Configure the LWI30XX for Laundry Machines
Every LWI30XX must be configured before installing it into a laundry machine. The configuration process assigns a
network ID and machine number to each LWI30XX and records a unique ID number stored within the wireless module.
A label, provided with each LWI30XX, should be placed on the plastic enclosure. Record the assigned machine number
and network ID on the label. This ensures the correct LWI30XX module is installed into the assigned laundry machine.
All laundry machines within the laundry center must be assigned a number between 1 and 60. The LC3000 displays
this number during normal operation and uses it to determine which LWI30XX module receives a pulse command when
a patron selects a specific machine. When configuring the LWI30XX, enter this number when assigning a machine.
1Plug the configuration cable, provided with the LC3000, into the RJ-45 jack labeled “LWI CONFIG on the LC3000
(see Figure 18).
2Plug the 22-pin connector of the configuration into an LWI30XX.
The software requests the Wireless Interface Module type.
3Select 1 for LWI.
The software requests the laundry machine ID number (1 through 60).
4Enter the laundry machine number where the LWI30XX will be installed.
5Disconnect the LWI30XX module from the configuration cable.
6Record the network ID and laundry machine number on the label and affix it to the plastic housing of the LWI30XX.
Repeat the steps listed above for each LWI30XX that will be installed within the laundry center.
LWI CONFIG PORT
WIRELESS LAUNDRY SYSTEM INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Laundry Installation and Setup Guide 26
WIRELESS LAUNDRY SYSTEM INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
When configuring an LWI for a stacked dryer unit, enter the odd number for the lower half of the stack dryer.
The LC3000 will internally configure the upper (even-numbered) half of the stack dryer unit. For example, a
Maytag Stack Dryer, labelled as machines 3 and 4, lower and upper halves respectively, would specify
machine number 3 as the half requiring configuration.
Install the LWI30XX in Laundry Machines
Before installing the LWI30XX inside a laundry machine, the module must be configured (see Configure the LWI30XX
for Laundry Machines (page 25). Verify the completion of this step before attempting to install the LWI30XX. Also ensure
the machine number assigned to the LWI30XX during the configuration process matches the number assigned to the
laundry machine. The machine number should be recorded on the label of the LWI30XX wireless module.
For any installation, either the hood or front panel of the laundry machine must be removed to gain access to the
electronic control board. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for steps to perform this task. Each LWI30XX contains a
wiring harness for connecting the wireless module to the laundry machine’s control board. All wiring harnesses support
both single and stacked machines. When performing an installation for a single machine, some connectors may not be
used.
In a typical installation, the wireless module can be installed inside the machine. However, if the laundry machine is more
than 50 feet from the LE3/BRIDGE, it may be necessary to mount the module on the outside of the laundry machine for
best reception. Sheet metal screws are provided with the LWI30XX to attach the module.

Installing LWI3020 in Alliance/Speed Queen Laundry Machines
Alliance/Speed Queen laundry machines require an LWI3020. A single LWI3020 supports both single washer/dryer
machines and stacked dryer machines. Before installing an LWI3020, verify that the transformer in the machine is the
correct type. The transformer should have 4 red wires on the secondary side. If there are only 2 wires, then the
transformer must be replaced.
If the 4th alphanumeric digit is A,C, D, F, H, J, L, X, or Y you have the correct dual transformer. If the 4th
alphanumeric digit is B, T, or Z, you must have the existing transformer replaced. The correct transformer
can be ordered from Alliance Laundry Systems or through your laundry supplier. The correct transformer
part number is 201375P.
Disconnect all power to the machine.
1Remove the operator console (with display and switches) from the machine. For single machines, remove only the
top two screws.
2With access to the machine’s control board, install the 4-pin connector of the wiring harness labeled “Odd
Numbered Machine” onto the (H5) connector of the laundry machine’s control board. The H5 connector may be
either 4 or 7 pin. If the connector has 7 pins, the connector must be installed on pins 1 through 4.
When installing the LWI3020 into a stacked machine, the connector identified with label “Even Numbered Machine”
must be installed into the control board of the even-numbered machine. For example, if the stacked machine is
assigned machines 3 and 4 within the laundry center, then the connector would be installed in the control board
identified as machine 3 and the other connector would be installed in the control board of the machine identified as
machine 4.
3Install the 2-Molex pins connected to the RED and RED wires on the wiring harness into the two open positions of
the transformer’s secondary output connector. It is an AC output, therefore the pins are interchangeable (see
Figure 20: Alliance/Speed Queen Machine (page 29).

MW9010/MW9012 LCR Retrofits (For Wired Laundry Centers only)
If you have an existing system equipped with an MW9010/MW9012 laundry reader, you will need to have retrofits
installed. The LC3000 can communicate with laundry machines through LCM2, LCM20, and LWI and is intended to
support retrofit or new installations. This support is managed locally by the LC3000.
The LC3000, as shipped from Blackboard, is configured for up to 60 machines on up to 3 LCM20s. If LCM2 support is
required, it may be changed in the reader with the “machine” command. This command can be used either from the
RS-232 CONFIG or using Telnet.
Each of the 60 machines can reside on an LCM2, LCM20, or LWI. The machine command usage is as follows:
machine [machine number] [lcm2|1cm20]
To change machine 5 from LCM20 to a LCM2, type the following:
machine 5 lcm2
In addition, all machines can be changed simultaneously from one interface to another. For example:
machine alllcm20
machine alllcm2
By typing “machines”, you list all the machine interfaces for all 60 machines.
Each LWI or Wireless Bridge is not required to use this machine command. When the LC3000 updates the
local machine definition, they are also configured with the LWI Config.
The local machine interface definitions permanently remain within the reader and are not affected by any other
command.
