LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 1 3 5 REV 03 LC3000 L AUNDRY C ENTER I N S TALL A T IO 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 the user interface through a display, keypad, and magstripe reader.
LC3000 LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION WIRED SOLUTION The wired solution reader supports up to 60 laundry machines across three connected Multiplexers. The first Multiplexer is installed inside the LC3000. Each machine uses a Laundry Controller Interface (LCI), a wiring harness inside the machine, to facilitate communications between the laundry machine controller and LC3000 Laundry Reader.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 1 3 5 REV 03 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 LAUNDRY 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 Laundry Controller Multiplexer LCM20 Power Supply / Enclosure LE3/PSENCL An LE3/PSENCL power supply/enclosure is required for the 2nd and 3rd LCM20s.

WIRELESS LAUNDRY MACHINE INTERFACE INSTALLATION W I R E L E S S L AUNDRY M A C H I N E I NTERFACE I NSTALLATION WIRELESS LAUNDRY CENTER INSTALLATION OVERVIEW • Configure laundry machines in BbTS and download configurations to the Reader. See: the BbTS Reference Manual (Unix), or the BbTS System Administration Guide (UE). • Configure the LE3/BRIDGE (page 1-23) • Install the LE3/BRIDGE (page 1-24) • Configure the LWI Module (page 1-25) Each laundry machine is assigned a number between 1 and 60.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 1 3 5 REV 03 All washers and dryers must be defined at the host server before the LWI modules can be configured. The machine type (washer/dryer), manufacturer, and stack configuration are included in the host server configuration options. WIRELESS B RIDGE 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.
WIRELESS BRIDGE LE3/BRIDGE INSTALLATION Note: Always select a network ID that has not been chosen on a nearby LC3000 Laundry Center wireless network. A nearby network is considered any installation within the same building and/or less then 500 feet. 7 Set the LWI type by selecting 2 to configure the module as a Bridge. 8 Remove the module from the 22-pin Molex connector.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 1 3 5 6 REV 03 Verify 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. The wire antenna must be slightly arced when the cover is installed.
LAUNDRY WIRELESS INTERFACE MODULE (LWI) 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.

A single LWI3020 will support both single washer/dryer machines and stacked dryer machines.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 1 3 5 REV 03 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.
WIRELESS MODULE TROUBLESHOOTING AND OPERATION WIRELESS M ODULE TROUBLESHOOTING AND OPERATION BRIDGE MODULE: The Red STATUS LED located near the center of the board blinks when a message is received from the LC3000 Reader. Status LED Communication is over RS-485. When the bridge is attached to the LC3000 Reader, the red status LED should blink once Transmit LED per second.
LC3000 LAUNDRY READER INSTALLATION GUIDE D OCUMENT 1 1 3 5 REV 03 LWI MODULE: The Red STATUS LED located near the center of the board blinks when a message is received from the Bridge. The Status LED frequency of the blinking depends on the number of LWI modules configured on the Bridge. As more modules are Transmit LED added, the blink rate decreases. Error LED The Green TRANSMIT LED located near the edge of the board is turned on whenever a radio packet is being transmitted by the LWI module.
