LC3000 LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION LC3000 L A U N D R Y C E N T E R I N S TA L L A T I O N This manual provides instructions for selecting, installing, and configuring the Blackboard Laundry Center using the LC3000 Laundry Reader. The LC3000 Laundry Reader controls laundry machines across a laundry Center network and Blackboard Transaction System (BbTS) and communicates with users interface through a display, keypad, and mag-stripe reader.
LC3000 LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION Wireless Solution Up to 60 laundry machines can be connected wirelessly to the LC3000 using a Wireless Bridge (LE3/BRIDGE). Each Bridge communicates with laundry machines within 60 feet. Multiple Wireless Bridges can be used if stone or metal obstructions reduce the range. Each laundry machine connects to a Laundry Wireless Interface installed inside the machine.
LAUNDRY CENTER COMPONENTS L AUNDRY CENTER C OMPONENTS LC3000 Components COMMON COMPONENT Laundry Reader LC3000 Each LC3000 supports up to 60 machines (stacked units count as 2 machines). Wired installations require LCM20(s) and LCIs. Wireless installations require LE3/BRIDGE(s) and LWI(s). WIRED COMPONENTS Each LCM20 supports 20 wired machines. The first LCM20 is installed inside the LC3000. The second and third LCM20s each require a Power Supply Enclosure (LE3/PSENCL).

LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION LC3000 L A U N D R Y R E A D E R I N S TA L L A T I O N The LC3000 Laundry Reader must be mounted on a wall in a location that is convenient to cardholders and wiring requirements. LC3000 Mounting Location Considerations • 120 VAC power availability Connect to 120 VAC @ 60 Hz. Connect only to a 15A maximum branch circuit protection or equivalent. Use a circuit breaker or switch to disconnect power when installing or removing the LC3000.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION Install the LC3000 Enclosure 1 Inside the LC3000, remove the power supply cover to access the upper right mounting hole. Protect power supply from debris while mounting the enclosure. 2 Secure enclosure to a wall using hardware appropriate to wall material. Mounting holes accept up to 1/4'' hardware. Disconnect external AC power when installing wiring. 3 4 Strip back insulation on AC wire .28" to prevent bare wire exposure when installed in AC terminal block.

WIRED LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION W I R E D L A U N D R Y M A C H I N E I N T E R F A C E I N S TA L L A T I O N The wired Blackboard laundry solution supports up to 60 laundry machines. Multiplexers (LCM20s) facilitate up to 20 wired machine connections each. In laundry centers with 20 or fewer machines, a single Multiplexer is installed inside the LC3000 enclosure.

Connect only to a 15A maximum branch circuit protection or equivalent. Use a circuit breaker or switch to disconnect power when installing or removing the LC3000.
LAUNDRY CONTROLLER MULTIPLEXER (LCM20) INSTALLATION Install External LCM20(s) (if required) If your Laundry Center has more than 20 machines, an external LCM20 and LE3/PSENCL are required. 1 Inside the LE3/PSENCL, remove the power supply cover to access the upper right mounting hole (Figure 12). Protect power supply from debris while mounting the enclosure. 2 Secure the enclosure to the wall using hardware for wall material. Mounting holes accept up to 1/4” hardware.
LAUNDRY CONTROLLER INTERFACE (LCI) INSTALLATION L AUNDRY CONTROLLER I NTERFACE (LCI) INSTALLATION The Laundry Controller Interface (LCI) is installed inside each laundry machine. The Laundry Controller Interface (LCI) is a wiring harness that connects to the laundry machine controller. The LCI is then connected to the Laundry Controller Multiplexer (LCM20) to communicate with Laundry Reader. The Laundry Controller Interface (LCI) model used depends on the laundry machine manufacturer.
LAUNDRY CONTROLLER INTERFACE (LCI) INSTALLATION 6 Use the wire ties and wire tie blocks included in the hardware kit to dress the wires, and replace the laundry machine operator console. 7 Terminate the 4-conductor cable at the LCM20 1 x 4 terminal block(s).
LAUNDRY CONTROLLER INTERFACE (LCI) INSTALLATION Install Alliance/Speed Queen LCI3020 in Laundry Machine Two LCI3020s must be ordered when wiring to a stacked dryer.

WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION W I R E L E S S L A U N D R Y M A C H I N E I N T E R F A C E I N S TA L L A T I O N The LC3000 Laundry Reader supports 60 wireless laundry machine connections. Laundry machines communicate with the wireless laundry network using Laundry Wireless Interfaces. The Laundry Wireless Interface (LWI) is a wiring harness and wireless module. The LWI communicates with the Laundry Reader via a Wireless Bridge(s) (LE3/ BRIDGE).
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION Wireless Bridge LE3/BRIDGE Installation The LE3/Bridge module must be configured prior to being installed. This requires programming a network ID and configuring the module as a Bridge. Configure the LE3/BRIDGE 1 Apply power to the LC3000 Reader and make sure that it is online. 2 Install the configuration cable (p/n 044-042-043) into the RJ-12 Jack labeled LWI CONFIG. This cable is supplied with the LE3/BRIDGE.
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION 1 Select the appropriate hardware and mount the LE3/BRIDGE enclosure. 2 Install 1/2” PVC conduit from the LC3000 to the enclosure. 3 The LE3/BRIDGE includes two configuration cables (p/n 044-042043). This cable has an RJ-45 connector and a 22-pin Molex connector. Plug the 22-pin connector into the Bridge module. 4 A patch cable is required to span the distance between the LE3/ BRIDGE enclosure and the LC3000 Reader.
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION 3 Plug 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. 4 Set the Network ID.
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION If installing inside the hood compartment, keep the module away from the control board and any potential electrical interference sources. 5 Use the wire ties and wire tie blocks included with the LWI3010 to dress the wires within the compartment. 6 Re-install the operator console on the machine.
WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION 3 Install the two Molex pins connected to the Orange and Blue wires on the wiring harness into the two open positions of the transformer’s secondary output connector. This is an AC output, so the pins are interchangeable. 4 Install the 22-pin connector of the wiring harness onto the LWI3020 wireless module.
