This cable has an RJ-45 connector and a 22-pin Molex connector. Plug the 22-pin connector into the Bridge module. 4A patch cable is required to span the distance between the LE3/BRIDGE enclosure and the LC3000 Reader. Pull the Patch cable through the conduit. Install the RJ-45 inline coupler between the patch cable and the configuration cable. Install the opposite end of the patch cable into the jack labeled BRIDGE RS-485 of the LC3000 Reader.5Place the Bridge module into the enclosure.6Verify communication between the Bridge module and LC3000 Reader using the status LED. The LED should be blinking approximately once every second. Install the cover onto the plastic enclosure to enclose the cable and module. Note: The wire antenna must be slightly arced when the cover is installed.Laundry Wireless Interface Module (LWI) InstallationConfigure the LWI ModuleBefore installing an LWI module in a washer or dryer, the module must be configured. Configuring consists of assigning a network ID and machine ID. These two parameters make each LWI module unique within the wireless network, ensuring only a single module responds to a command from the Bridge.The network ID can be assigned the values 1 through 7. This number must be identical to the number assigned to the Bridge. This value sychronizes the communication between the Bridge and the LWI module by selecting the appropriate frequency hopping table.The machine ID can be assigned the values 1 through 60. This number corresponds to the unique number assigned to each washer/dryer located in the Laundry Center. Each washer and dryer must be labeled with the machine number. The number should be clearly visible to patrons using the Laundry Center.For Stack Dryers, a single module is used to support both upper and lower machines. The top machine must be assigned the odd number, the lower machine the even number. The even number must always be 1 more than the odd number. Thus valid pairs are (1, 2), (3, 4) and (29, 30) and so forth. An invalid combination would be (28, 29). This would be considered as separate machines at the host software level. The assignment of the top machine being an odd number is the result of the electrical connection between the wiring harness and module.It is imperative the LWI module, once programmed with the machine ID, be installed in the corresponding labeled laundry machine. A label is provided on the side of the module, to allow the installer to write the machine ID programmed into the module.1Apply power the LC3000 Reader and make sure it is online.2Install the configuration cable (p/n 044-042-043) into the RJ-12 jack labeled LWI CONFIG.This cable is supplied with the LE3/BRIDGE.FIGURE 21: Wireless Bridge
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATIONLC3000 Laundry Center Installation 19WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATIONSeptember 27, 20073Plug the 22-pin connector into the mating connector of the LWI module.The LC3000 Reader will detect the LWI module. The top two lines of the display show the machine ID, software version and network ID. The factory default for the network ID and machine ID is FF. If the LWI module has previously been assigned, the message Already Assigned is displayed. In all cases, enter 1 for yes, to reassign the network ID and/or machine ID.4Set the Network ID. Valid values are 1 through 7. This value must match the network ID selected for the Bridge.5Set the machine ID.Valid Values are 1 through 60.It is imperative the LWI module, once programmed with the machine ID, be installed in the corresponding labeled laundry machine. A label is provided on the side of the module, to allow the installer to write the machine ID programmed into the module.6When programming has been completed, disconnect the LWI module from the configuration cable.The steps listed above must be repeated for each LWI module to be installed in the Laundry Center. When programming the machine ID, the values should be written on the label provided to ensure it is installed in the correct washer or dryer.Install the LWI ModuleTo install an LWI module, either the hood or front panel of the laundry machine will have to 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 LWI module to the laundry machine’s control board. All wiring harnesses support both single and stacked machines. If installing in a single machine, some connectors may not be used.In a typical installation, the LWI module can be installed inside the laundry machine. However, if a laundry machine is more then 75 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 module.Install the LWI3010 Module for Maytag laundry machines Maytag laundry machines require an LWI3010 module. A single LWI3010 will support both single washer/dryer machines and stacked dryer machines.Disconnect all power to the machines.1Remove the operator console (with display and switches) from the machine. Single machine: remove only the top two screws. Stacked machine: remove only the lower two screws on the top panel.2With access to the machine’s control board, Install the six-pin connector of the wiring harness into the (AA3) connector of the laundry machine’s control board.Stacked machines: Install the 2-pin connector on the wiring harness into the (AA2) connector of the control board.3Install the 22-pin connector of the wiring harness into the LWI3010 wireless module.4Mount the wireless module inside the hood compartment using the double-sticky tape provided, or install the module on the outside of the machine using the sheet metal screws.E 22: LWI wireless module

A single LWI3020 will support 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. The correct transformer is (p/n 201375P), and can be ordered from Alliance Laundry Systems through your laundry supplier.Disconnect all power to the machines.1Remove the operator console (with display and switches) from the machine. Single machine: remove only the top two screws.2With access to the machine’s control board, install the 4-pin connector of the wiring harness labeled P1 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 P1 connector must be installed on pins 1 through 4.When installing the LWI3020 onto a stacked machine, the P2 connector must be installed into the control board of the even numbered machine. For example, if the stacked machine will be assigned machines 3 and 4 within the laundry center, then the P1 connector would be installed in the control board identified as machine 3 and the P2 connector must be installed in the control board of the machine identified as machine 4.LWI wireless moduleFIGURE 23: LWI3010 installation in Maytag laundry machineAA3AA2Stacked machine only
