1.2 Vital Information About the Forces Imparted to Sup-

porting Structures by Laundering Machines
BNUUUI01.C01 0000189336 A.5 C.3 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
This document replaces Milnor® document BIWUUI02.

All laundering machines impart static and dynamic forces to the supporting structures (foundation
and soil, floor, and building). Static forces include the machine weight plus the weight of the
goods and water. Dynamic forces are those imparted by various machine movements as explained
in Section 1.2.2 : Major Design Considerations, page 5 . The dynamic forces imparted to support-
ing structures can cause vibration and noise outside of the laundry room if supporting structures
are inadequate.

Commissioning
1.2.1 Disclaimer of Responsibility

BNUUUI01.C02 0000189359 A.5 C.3 B.3 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
Pellerin Milnor Corporation accepts no responsibility for damage or loss as a result of:
• inadequate supporting structures
• interference with the use of the facility caused by machine operation
The facility owner/operator is solely responsible to ensure that:
• supporting structures are strong enough, with a reasonable safety factor, to safely support the
operating machine or group of machines
• supporting structures are rigid enough to isolate vibrations and noise to the laundry room
If the owner/operator does not possess the necessary expertise to ensure that the facility can safely
and functionally accommodate the equipment, it will be necessary to consult the appropriate ex-
pert(s), such as a structural engineer, soils engineer, and/or architect.
1.2.2 Major Design Considerations

• Vibration and/or noise can be felt or heard outside of the laundry room as a result of the fol-
lowing, if supporting structures are not sufficiently rigid:
– Extraction (the spinning cylinder) in washer-extractors and centrifugal extractors, imparts
sinusoidal forces to supporting structures as shown in Figure 1: How Rotating Forces Act
On the Foundation, page 6 . In rigid washer-extractors, these forces are up to 30 times that
of suspended washer-extractors of the same capacity.
– Extraction forces can be magnified many times if the rotation frequency matches the reso-
nant frequency of supporting structures. To avoid this, supporting structures must have a
natural resonant frequency many times greater than any possible rotation speed of the ma-
chine or combination of rotation speeds of all machines.
– Each time goods fall in the rotating cylinder of a washer, washer-extractor, centrifugal ex-
tractor, or dryer, this can impart a force to the supporting structures.
– The intermittent start and stop actions of large components inside the machine, particu-
larly in a tilting washer-extractor, press-extractor, or centrifugal extractor, can impart in-
termittent forces to the supporting structures.
• The possibility of adverse consequences is significantly greater for upper floor installations
than for installations at grade. Always consult a structural engineer for such an installation.
• The possibility of adverse consequences is significantly greater for installations at grade if
subsidence causes a void between the foundation and the soil or if the soil itself does not pro-
vide adequate strength and rigidity. Some possible remedies are the addition of pilings or a
deeper foundation, installed as to be monolithic with the existing foundation.
• Machine forces can cause damage to the machine or the floor without the correct anchorage.
• Applicable building codes, even when met, do not guarantee sufficient structural support and
isolation of machine forces to the laundry room.

1.2.3 Primary Information Sources

Milnor® provides, or can provide the following information of use to engineers and architects, for
the given machine model:
• The machine dimensional drawing, found in the installation manual, specifies the machine’s
required anchorage.
• The Milnor® Service Department can provide static and dynamic load values and frequency
(extract speed) values on request.
NOTICE: All data is subject to change without notice and may have changed since last
printed. It is the responsibility of the potential owner/operator to obtain written confirma-
tion that any data furnished by Milnor® applies for the model number(s) and serial num-
ber(s) of the purchased machine(s).

1.3 Determining Load Size

BNWUUO01.C01 0000181430 A.5 A.3 B.3 1/2/20 2:19 PM Released
You will not do damage to the machine with a large load if you follow these rules:
1. The goods are made of common cotton or synthetic materials.
2. The load can balance in the cylinder before the extract step.
3. The extract speed has not been increased above the designed maximum.
4. You do not program so many extract steps that you do damage to the motor.
For common goods, the size of the machine sets the quantity you can put in the machine.

Commissioning
These items determine the maximum load weight of soiled goods:

• the volume of the machine's cylinder, and
• the material and weight of the goods.
Do not try to load the machine to its maximum weight capacity with bulky fabrics.
Use the size of the machine, the type of the goods, the amount of soil, and the wash quality when
you load the machine.

1.4 Prevent Damage from Chemical Supplies and

Chemical Systems
BNUUUR02.C01 0000160549 A.5 E.3 B.3 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
All Milnor® washer-extractors and CBW® tunnel washers use stainless steel with the ANSI 304
specification. This material gives good performance when chemical supplies are correctly ap-
plied. If chemical supplies are incorrectly applied, this material can be damaged. The damage can
be very bad and it can occur quickly.
Chemical supply companies usually:
• supply chemical pump systems that put the supplies in the machine,
• connect the chemical pump system to the machine,
• write wash formulas that control the chemical concentrations.
The company that does these procedures must make sure that these procedures do not cause dam-
age. Pellerin Milnor Corporation accepts no responsibility for chemical damage to the ma-
chines it makes or to the goods in a machine.
1.4.1 How Chemical Supplies Can Cause Damage

BNUUUR02.R01 0000160548 A.5 E.3 B.4 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
Dangerous Chemical Supplies and Wash Formulas — Some examples that

can cause damage are:
• a very high concentration of chlorine bleach,
• a mixture of acid sour and hypo chlorite,
• chemical supplies (examples: chlorine bleach, hydrofluosilicic acid) that stay on the stainless
steel because they are not quickly flushed with water.
The book “Textile Laundering Technology” by Charles L. Riggs gives data about correct chemi-
cal supplies and formulas.
Incorrect Configuration or Connection of Equipment — Many chemical

systems:
• do not prevent a vacuum in the chemical tube (for example, with a vacuum breaker) when the
pump is off,

Commissioning
• do not prevent flow (for example, with a valve) where the chemical tube goes in the machine.
Damage will occur if a chemical supply can go in the machine when the chemical system is off.
Some configurations of components can let the chemical supplies go in the machine by a siphon
(Figure 2: Incorrect Configurations That Let the Chemical Supply Go In the Machine by a Si-
phon, page 8 ). Some can let chemical supplies go in the machine by gravity (Figure 3: Incorrect
Configurations That Let the Chemical Supply Go In the Machine by Gravity, page 9 ).

1.4.2 Equipment and Procedures That Can Prevent Damage

BNUUUR02.R02 0000160545 A.5 E.3 B.3 1/2/20 2:14 PM Released
Use the chemical manifold supplied. — There is a manifold on the machine to at-
tach chemical tubes from a chemical pump system. The manifold has a source of water to flush
the chemical supplies with water.
Figure 4. Examples of Manifolds for Chemical Tubes. Your equipment can look different.

Commissioning
Close the line. — If the pump does not always close the line when it is off, use a shutoff
valve to do this.
Do not let a vacuum occur. — Supply a vacuum breaker in the chemical line that is
higher than the full level of the tank.
Flush the chemical tube with water. — If the liquid that stays in the tube between
the pump and the machine can flow in the machine, flush the tube with water after the pump
stops.
Put the chemical tube fully below the inlet. — It is also necessary that there is no
pressure in the chemical tube or tank when the system is off.

Prevent leaks. — When you do maintenance on the chemical pump system:

• Use the correct components.
• Make sure that all connections are the correct fit.
• Make sure that all connections are tight.

� Do not reroute or rearrange any wires not specifically permitted by this instruction.
� Do not connect a common wire to ground. Use the common terminal furnished.
CAUTION: Risk of Poor or Inconsistent Wash Quality — Injection times of less

than 10 seconds are discouraged because fine adjustments are not possible,
and factors such as pump lag time may cause significant variations in the amount of
chemical delivered.
� Size pumps or valves small enough for adequate control (i.e., for longer injection
times).
� Use two pumps or valves to inject a small or large quantity of the same chemical, if
required.
1.5.1 Maximizing Chemical Injection Precision

BNCOUI01.C02 0000188933 A.5 A.6 1/2/20 1:25 PM Released
Injection of a consistent amount of chemical is important in controlling wash quality and using
chemicals economically. When chemicals are injected by units of time, as is done with most
washer-extractors, injections of short duration can be imprecise because of two reasons:
• Fine adjustments to the delivered quantity are not possible. For example, if an injection of
three seconds is extended by one second, the quantity delivered is theoretically increased by
more than 30 percent. However, if an injection of 20 seconds is increased by one second, the
theoretical quantity is increased by only five percent.
• Variations in the time between the start of the chemical signal and the start of the chemical de-
livery into the machine can cause significant differences in the quantity of chemical injected.
In this case, if a pump starts more slowly some times than others, or if the delivery tubes are
partially empty at the start of the inject period, the quantity of chemical delivered may vary
significantly. As an example, assume a peristaltic pump moves chemical along the delivery
tube at a rate of three feet per second. If the delivery tube is empty for three feet along its
length, then one second of the injection time is spent injecting air rather than chemical. If the
programmed injection time is only three seconds, then one third of the desired chemical is not
being delivered. However, if the programmed injection time is 20 seconds, the chemical de-
livery is only five percent less than desired.
• Increasing the programmed injection time makes any variation less significant. Use pumps
and/or valves sized to allow inject times of at least 10 seconds. If injection times for a specific
chemical vary widely from one formula to another, consider using two pumps or valves for

Commissioning
the same chemical. Actuate one pump for injecting small quantities, and use both pumps or
valves for larger quantities.
1.5.2 Pump Signal Connections

BNCOUI02.C01 0000206324 A.5 A.6 A.3 1/2/20 1:25 PM Released
The E-P Express® controller closes certain relay contacts when chemicals are desired and to flush
the chemical system after each injection. These signals are alternating current at the control cir-
cuit voltage and cannot be made potential-free. Any device driven by this signal can draw up to
37 milliamperes.
NOTE: The manifold flush signal is effective only if the chemical supply system pro-
vided by others is properly designed and connected to a flushing water source.
CAUTION: Component Damage Hazard — Board components will burn out and re-
quire board replacement if devices driven by inject signals do not meet the
above electrical specifications. Pumps usually draw a higher current than
specified above, and will cause board damage.
This machine provides signals for five chemicals and a manifold flush. Table 3: Chemical Injec-
tion Signals, page 12 contains the connection details for these signals. All chemical signal con-
nections are available on terminal strip TBS, as shown in Figure 6: Pump Signal Connections,
page 13 . This terminal strip is located in the electrical enclosure on the left rear of the machine,
where the machine power connections are made.

1.5.3 Timer Stop Connections

BNCOUI02.C02 0000206321 A.5 A.6 A.4 1/2/20 1:25 PM Released
This feature is not available on coin-operated machines. Timer stop is a feature of the E-P
Express® control which stops the machine timer while a certain input to the microprocessor is
grounded. When multiple machines without this feature are connected to a common chemical
supply system, the quantity of chemical injected can vary widely if two or more machines request
chemical simultaneously. When timer stop is properly wired with the chemical supply system, the
supply system stops the timers in certain linked machines when one machine requests chemical.
When the chemical injection is completed, the chemical supply system terminates the timer stop
command, and the stopped timers resume counting.
When the timer in a machine is stopped, the current formula event continues until the timer re-
sumes counting. If water valves are open when the timer stops, they will close when the desired
level is reached. Chemical injection signals will stop after the designated time, but the manifold
flush signal will not occur until the timer starts. All other actions (cylinder reversing, extract
speed, drain speed, etc.) that are in progress when the timer is stopped will continue until the tim-
er starts again and the programmed time for the current event expires.
Milnor® provides two wires terminated with butt connectors in the rear console of the machine,
as shown in Figure 7: Timer Stop Connections, page 14 . One wire originates electrically from
pin 6 of M5 on the processor board. The other wire is electrically identical to pin 16 of M6 on the
processor board. For timer stop to operate, the chemical system should include a normally open
contact between these two connectors. When the contact is open, the machine runs normally.
When the contact is closed, the machine timer stops until the contact opens again.

step in a formula nor immediately follow another extract. Press
or to scroll to the desired step type, then press to
choose the selected step type and move to the step time decision.

This is the last step of any formula. When you program an End of formula step by entering 00
End of formula and pressing , the controller saves the programmed formula and returns to the
Add/Change Formula screen.
2.3.3.6.1.2 Soak (TT=01, 02, or 03)
Soaking serves to expose the goods to water and any included chemicals without mechanical ac-
tion which might damage certain textiles. In this machine, all soak baths are performed at high
water level and the selected waters (hot, cold, or split). Any chemicals may be injected.
The step timer begins counting when high level is achieved and continues for the programmed
amount of time. When the step time expires, the controller commands the motor to turn the

Programming
cylinder clockwise for four seconds at wash speed, then to accelerate to drain speed. A few sec-
onds after the cylinder reaches drain speed, the drain opens. The next step begins after the fixed
drain time and coast time expire. Coast time is not counted if the next step is an extract.
01=Hot soak Use hot soaks to maximize the activity of the injected chemicals when there is lit-
tle or no chance of stains being set by the high temperature. Temperatures above 120 degrees
Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) usually make the removal of protein-based soils more
difficult.
02=Cold soak Use cold soak steps for goods that contain protein stains. The low temperature is
usually less effective than higher temperatures at activating certain chemicals, but the chance
of setting stains is much lower.
03=Split soak If the temperature of incoming hot water alone is higher than 120 degrees Fah-
renheit (49 degrees Celsius), soaking with both hot and cold water simultaneously will re-
move more soil than a cold flush. A split soak is also less likely to set protein stains than a hot
soak if the temperature of the split fill is consistently lower than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.3.3.6.1.3 Flush (TT=04, 05, or 06)
A flush is usually used early in a formula, prior to bleaching, to dilute and remove debris and
loose soil before chemicals are added. Flushes are also used to raise or lower the temperature of
the goods. Machines with the E-P Express® controller conduct all flushes at high water level
with the programmed waters (hot, cold, or split). Any chemicals may be injected, although this is
not common.
For any flush operation on the E-P Express® controller, the step timer begins counting when high
level is achieved and continues for the programmed time. The cylinder reverses at wash speed
while the step timer is counting down. When the step time expires, the controller commands the
motor to turn the cylinder clockwise for four seconds at wash speed, then to accelerate to drain
speed. A few seconds after the cylinder reaches drain speed, the drain opens. The next step begins
after the fixed drain time and coast time expire. Coast time is not counted if the step about to be-
gin is an extract.
04=Hot flush Use hot flushes to remove the maximum amount of debris and loose soil when
there is little or no chance of stains being set by the high temperature. Temperatures above
120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius) usually make the removal of protein-based soils
more difficult.
05=Cold flush Use one or more cold flush steps to remove debris and loose soil from goods
that might contain protein stains before adding detergent. The low temperature is likely to be
less effective than higher temperatures at removing certain types of soil, but the chance of set-
ting stains is much lower.
06=Split flush If the temperature of incoming hot water is higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit
(49 degrees Celsius), flushing with both hot and cold water simultaneously will remove more
soil than a cold flush. A split flush is also less likely to set protein stains than a hot flush if the
temperature of the split fill is consistently lower than 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.3.3.6.1.4 Wash (TT=07, 08, or 09)
Wash steps include break, suds, bleach suds, and carryover operations, and occur after the final
flush if one or more flushes are used. All wash steps programmed with this controller use low
water level. The first step to introduce chemicals to the machine cylinder is usually called a break

Programming
and includes the injection of alkali and detergent. Suds and bleach suds steps follow the break
step.
Carryover steps use the chemicals retained in the goods after draining the previous step to prolong
chemical contact at a higher temperature without introducing more chemicals. The drain prior to
a carryover step also removes suspended soil and reduces bath alkalinity for better bleaching.
07=Hot wash This step type causes the machine to fill exclusively through the hot water valve.
Generally, the bath temperature should be as hot as is practical for suds baths, with some con-
siderations. While higher temperatures increase the effect of detergents, there is a risk of set-
ting certain stains if they were not sufficiently removed with earlier, cooler baths. High bath
temperatures may also introduce creases into some synthetic fabrics by heating the fibers
above the temperature at which they become plastic. When this happens, rapid cooling will
often set the creases beyond the ability of other equipment to remove them. For the best ef-
fect, introduce chlorine bleach when the bath temperature is about 150 degrees Fahrenheit (66
degrees Celsius). Bleaching with chlorine at temperatures above 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71
degrees Celsius) is likely to damage fibers.
08=Cold wash This step type uses only water at or near the temperature at which it entered the
plant. In especially warm climates, this water may be at or above the temperature achieved by
using split water in other areas. Program a cold wash any time the split water temperature
might cause undesired results, including wrinkles or fiber damage.
09=Split wash This type of step fills the machine by fully opening both the hot and cold water
valves simultaneously. This results in the fastest possible fill and a bath temperature that is
satisfactory for many applications. While certain factors such as pressure differences between
hot and cold water supplies cannot be predicted, the approximate temperature of split water
will be one half of the total of both the hot and cold water temperatures.
2.3.3.6.1.5 Rinse (TT=10, 11, or 12)
Bath operations between the bleach step and the finish step are usually called rinses. Rinses serve
to remove the last of the loosened soil and most of the chemicals from the goods. In machines
with the E-P Express® controller, rinse steps are always performed at high water level and the
programmed temperature. This controller also allows the injection of any desired chemicals dur-
ing rinse operations.
10=Hot rinse Rinsing with hot water removes more detergent and other chemicals from the
goods than a cold or split rinse, but also may have many of the same adverse affects as a hot
wash. Consider the temperature of the hot water supply and the goods being laundered when
programming this type of step.
11=Cold rinse Use a cold rinse to remove most of the remaining chemicals from the goods
without the energy cost of hot water. Keep in mind, however, that a cold bath immediately
following a hot bath may thermoset creases in some synthetic fabrics.
12=Split rinse Because both the hot and cold water valves are open for a split rinse, the fill
time is approximately half of the time required for either a hot or cold rinse. Also, there is less
chance for fabrics to crease than with a hot rinse, and more remaining soil and chemicals are
removed than with a cold rinse.

Programming
2.3.3.6.1.6 Finish (TT=13)

The finish operation is usually the final bath operation of the wash formula. This controller allows
the injection of any chemical, with sour, starch, and softener being the most common. The bath
level is always low, and the water temperature is almost always cold. In locations where the in-
coming cold water is so cold that chemicals do not mix readily with the water, the machine can
be configured to fill all finish steps with split water.
2.3.3.6.1.7 Extract (TT=14)
Extract operations are used between bath steps to remove water, chemicals, and suspended soil;
and as the final operation in a formula to remove water for faster drying.

2.3.4 How to Configure the Controller

Because the microprocessor control system used in this machine is capable of multiple languages
and operating with many different chemical injection systems, each machine must be configured.
This configuration informs the microprocessor of what language to use for displaying operator in-
formation and the duration of the inject time for chemical one.
CAUTION: Configure Data may be Lost — If the controller loses power either acci-
dentally or intentionally while in the Configure mode, all configuration
data may be corrupted. Reconfigure the controller at installation and any
time a memory error is detected.

controller signals the inverter to accelerate to extract speed. If low
level is still achieved when this time expires, an error stating “Too
Long to Drain” is displayed. The minimum value is 30 seconds;
the maximum value is 255 seconds (4:15).
CAUTION: Motor damage and inverter fault hazard — The motor may be dam-
aged and/or the inverter may trip frequently if the drain time is not long
enough to allow most of the free water to exit the machine before extract
begins.
� Factory testing has found that a drain time of 60 seconds provides
some margin of safety for a machine that drains freely into an open trough.

CHEM 1 INJ TIME: SSS Display of Chem 1 inject time configuration decision. Some
FORMULA 01 030 chemical systems use the duration of the chemical 1 injection sig-
nal to determine which wash formula is running. Only the injec-
tion time for chemical 1 is configurable; all other chemical signals
are fixed at 30 seconds. By default, Chem 1 inject time for each
formula is 30 seconds until changed. The minimum value is 1 sec-
ond; the maximum value is 255 seconds (4:15).
2.3.4.2.1 About Chemical Injection with the E-P Express® Controller

The normal duration for all chemical injection signals from this controller is 30 seconds.
This period often allows delivery of the desired amount of chemical when pump sizes and other
factors are used to control chemical volume more precisely.
Installations requiring more precise chemical metering may use programmable chemical supply
systems (provided by others) to select chemical amounts according to the washer-extractor for-
mula. Typically these chemical systems use the duration of the washer-extractor injection signal
for Chemical 1 to determine which formula is running, then select the corresponding chemical
program for that wash formula.
When the chemical supply system determines the wash formula and selects the appropriate chem-
ical program for quantities, the chemical system still needs to know when to inject each chemical.
The chemical system monitors the washer-extractor controller for chemical signals in each step
calling for chemicals. When the washer-extractor requests a specific chemical, the chemical sup-
ply system injects the programmed quantity of that chemical.
For example, the E-P Express® controller may be configured so the Chemical 1 signal is five sec-
onds in formula 01, ten seconds in formula 02, and 15 seconds in formula 03. When the washer-
extractor controller signals for Chemical 1 to be injected, the Chemical 1 output relay is turned
on for the configured duration. The chemical injection system then determines which formula the

formula.

2.3.5 Restoring the Standard Formulas

Programming mode 3 allows the owner/operator with access to a programming key to perform
either of these two actions:
1. Option 0 replaces all existing formulas with the factory default formulas for the selected in-
dustry configuration. This selection replaces formulas 1 through 10 with the standard industry
formulas and removes all data from formulas 11 through 30.
2. Option 1 replaces only formulas 1 through 10 with the standard industry formulas. This
leaves any user-programmed data in formulas 11 through 30 intact.

Programming
CAUTION: Avoid Data Loss — Other than the two methods described above, it is not
possible to selectively delete field-modified or field-programmed formulas
with this programming mode. This mode erases all field-programmed for-
mulas 1 through 10 or 1 through 30 as specified. For selective deletions
and modifications, use Program mode 1 (Add/Change Formula).
CAUTION: Avoid Chemical Damanage to Goods — The injection time for Chemical
1 is 30 seconds for all default formulas. This may prevent certain supply
systems from properly detecting which formula is running, or cause the in-
jection time for chemical 1 to be longer than intended.

storing the standard formulas

successfully ends. If all three lights on the storage device begin
blinking at any time during the transfer, the data being received
by the storage device is invalid. Clear the memory in the storage
device and perform the transfer again.
CAUTION: Data Corruption Hazard — If the machine controller indicates that the
data transfer is complete but the Receive light on the data storage device is
still illuminated, invalid data is stored in the storage device.
� Do not rely on the data in the storage device unless the machine con-
troller indicated that the transfer completed, AND the Receive light on the
storage device turned off automatically.
� Do not restore data from the storage device to the machine if the data is invalid. Re-
storing invalid data from the storage device to the machine controller will overwrite any
formulas that have been changed or created since the data was last stored. These formulas
can not be recovered.

3.1.1 Applying Power


The Run/Program keyswitch must be set to the Run position be-
fore the main wall disconnect (fuse or circuit breaker) is closed to
provide power to the machine.
When power is first applied to the machine, the display shows the software copyright informa-
tion, machine name, and the checksum number. The checksum number changes with any pro-
gramming change. To detect unauthorized programming, record the checksum at the end of each
authorized programming session and compare it to the checksum displayed at each power up.
Milnor® washer extractors with E-P Express® controls do not use a speed sensing device to verify
that the basket has stopped rotating. Therefore, when power is first applied to the machine, at
least 80 seconds must elapse before any further operations can be attempted. This provides suffi-
cient time for the basket to coast to a complete stop if power was lost while the machine was in
high speed extract and restored before the basket stopped.
DANGER: Entanglement Hazard — The linen inside or hanging partially outside a
turning cylinder can suddenly wrap around your hand, arm, or body. The
inertia of the spinning cylinder can cause the entangled linen to twist off or
sever body parts. You can be killed or seriously injured.

3.2 How to Use and Erase the Formula Counter BNCJUP01.C01 0000181485 A.5 C.3 1/2/20 1:16 PM Released
The microprocessor controller adds one count to a discrete counter for each formula near the end
of each formula. The counter holds this value until you set the value to 0. Each formula counter
has a maximum value of 999. A counter at the maximum value holds the maximum value until
you set it to 0. You can only see or erase the count for each formula when the machine can oper-
ate correctly.
CAUTION: Prevent Incorrect Data — You can cause damage to the collected data if
the machine does not have power for extended periods of time. An electri-
cal surge can also cause damage to the collected data.
� Apply power to the machine for 15 seconds in each 48-hour interval to
keep the correct formula count. See Section 1.1 : Important Data About
this Machine, page 3 for more data.
� Make sure that the count is accurate. Record the value in each counter. Set the value
in each counter equal to 0 before it increases to 999 counts.
� If the display shows an accumulator error, set the values in all formula counters to
0. Detailed error messages can be found elsewhere in the manual. See table of contents.

5.1 The E-P Plus® and E-P Express® Hardware

BNCJUF01.C01 0000190133 A.5 C.3 B.3 1/2/20 1:16 PM Released
The Milnor® E-P Plus® and E-P Express® microprocessor controls are designed specifically for
Milnor® washer-extractors. Along with certain external electromechanical relay logic and sensing
devices, they control all machine and system functions. Not every Milnor® microprocessor sys-
tem includes all the following components.
5.1.1 Keyswitches
BNCJUF01.C02 0000190132 A.5 C.3 A.6 1/2/20 1:16 PM Released
5.1.1.1 Run/Program Keyswitch

This keyswitch allows controlling who has the necessary access to modify wash formulas. For-
mulas can be modified only when this switch is turned from the Run position ( ) to the Pro-
gram position ( ). To safeguard wash formulas, keep this key in a secure place with restricted
personnel access.
5.1.1.2 Automatic/Test Keyswitch (E-P Plus® Models Only)

This keyswitch allows only employees with access to the appropriate key to operate the machine
in Test mode for troubleshooting. Test mode can be accessed only when this switch is turned
from the Automatic position ( ) to the Test position ( ). To reduce the risk of personal in-
jury and machine damage, keep this key in a secure place with restricted personnel access.
5.1.2 Display
The display is a vacuum fluorescent display consisting of two lines of 20 characters each. This
type of display is easily identified by green characters on a black background when operating, or
a nearly black background when not operating.
5.1.3 Power Supply

The power supply provides a regulated specific voltage to the processor board and certain auxili-
ary boards and devices. The power supply also converts control circuit alternating current voltage
to +12 volts direct current, –12 volts direct current, and +5 volts direct current. The power supply
is switchable between 120 volts and 240 volts alternating current input voltage.

Supplemental Information
Although the +12VDC and –12VDC are not adjustable, the +5VDC is rather sensitive and the
power supply must be adjusted so the actual voltage at the processor board is between
5.04VDC and 5.06VDC as measured by an accurate digital voltmeter. If this voltage is not within
the stated range, the machine may malfunction.
5.1.4 CPU Processor Board BNCJUF01.C07 0000190127 A.5 C.3 B.3 1/2/20 1:16 PM Released
The central processing unit (CPU) processes data received from the various inputs, stores infor-
mation, and responds to each push button entry with the appropriate action. Data is stored in one
or more of the following types of memory chips on the CPU board, depending on the machine
model.
SRAM Static Random Access Memory stores the accumulator (formula count) data as long
as the machine has power, or via a capacitor for approximately 24 hours with power off. This
type of component is also used to retain the last formula and step in progress when power is
turned off at the machine while a formula is running. SRAM is used in all E-P Plus® and E-P
Express® controllers.
Flash Memory Similar to EEPROM memory in function, flash memory can be electrically
erased and reprogrammed, but is faster and can retain more data than EEPROM memory.
Flash memory is used on processor boards for F_J, H_J, X_J, and V_J models, and all E-P
Express® models. The two flash memory chips reside in sockets IC2 and IC12. The chip in
socket IC12 contains operating instructions and the complete set of industry standard formu-
las. As software updates are made available, the owner/operator may choose to replace this
chip. The chip in socket IC2 holds the industry formulas and user changes to those formulas,
as well as machine configuration data. The chip in socket IC2 will not normally need replac-
ing for software updates.
5.1.5 Outputs
Depending on the processor board, output relays may be either socket-mounted to a separate out-
put board, or permanently soldered to the processor board. H_J, F_J, V_J, and X_J models, as
well as all E-P Express® models, use the 188 processor board with soldered relays. The SPST
(single pole, single throw) relays have the same load parameters as those used in other models
(25VA).
WARNING: Avoid damage to electronic boards — Although the relays on 188 pro-
cessor boards are capable of handling higher loads, failure to restrict cur-
rent loads to the values stated above may cause traces on the processor
board to fail, thus destroying the board.

5.1.6 Option Outputs (E-P Plus® Models Only)

The 188 E-P Plus® processor board used in F_J, H_J, X_J, and V_J models includes the option
output relays as well as the standard output relays directly on the board. All 22 of the output re-
lays on the 188 processor board are identical.
5.1.7 Temperature Probe (E-P Plus® Models Only)

A thermistor temperature probe is provided in the machine sump if the machine is equipped for
optional temperature control. This probe is a resistor that changes value according to temperature.
5.1.8 Pressure Sensor (E-P Plus® Models Only)

BNCJUF01.C11 0000190170 A.5 C.3 1/2/20 1:16 PM Released
The 188 E-P Plus® processor board contains a pressure transducer unit mounted directly to the
board. This transducer produces a very small voltage (about 0.085 millivolt per inch of water) that
increases as the water level in the basket rises. For E-P Plus® models, detailed information on the
Pressure Transducer Circuit is provided. See table of contents.

5.3 Construction of External Serial Link Cables BNCUUP02.C01 0000196986 A.5 A.9 1/2/20 1:30 PM Released
This document provides information for on-site fabrication of certain types of serial communica-
tion cables. Programmable data can be transferred between compatible machines or between a
machine and a Milnor® serial memory storage device (see related note below), using the down-
load cables described in Section 5.3.2.2 : Connecting Two or More Machines for Machine-to-ma-
chine Transfer, page 65 and Section 5.3.2.3 : Connecting a Machine to a Serial Memory Storage
Device, page 66 respectively. These cable(s) connect to the cabinet-mounted 9-pin DIN type re-
ceptacle shown in Figure 14: 9-Pin DIN Connector Pin Identification (from wire entry side of
connectors), page 64 and may be installed temporarily or permanently, as appropriate.
NOTE: The currently approved printers and printer configuration settings are provided
in Section 5.4 : Printer Requirements and Settings, page 67 . A pre-assembled machine-
to-printer cable similar to the cable described here, is available from Milnor (P/N
10YMK2PNTR).

NOTE: The Milnor serial memory storage device (also known as a download box) con-
tains nonvolatile memory to hold a back-up copy of the programming and configuration
data for one machine. This data is transferred between the machine and the memory stor-
age device via the DIN receptacle on the machine. Two models are currently available:
KXMIC00507 and KXMIC00508. The already wired cable and DIN connector are in-
cluded as part of the memory storage device. Consult the Milnor Service department to
determine the correct device for a particular application.

Figure 15: Wiring Diagram for Cable to Connect Two or More Machines, page 66 shows how to
wire a cable to connect a bank of identical machines (the Figure 15: Wiring Diagram for Cable to
Connect Two or More Machines, page 66 example shows connections for four machines) so that
data programmed on one machine in the group can be downloaded to all other machines

simultaneously. This cable is referred to as a daisy chain because it runs in segments from ma-
chine to machine, connecting all machines in the group.

Cable Wiring
The internal connections on each receptacle (machine) between pins 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and 6 and 9
make it easier to wire the cable because it is not necessary to jumper these pins together on the ca-
ble. However, this also means that every plug on the daisy chain must be plugged into a recep-
tacle. Otherwise, the serial low, serial high, and ground conductors will not have continuity
across the entire daisy chain and some machines will not receive data.
Rules and details about downloading among machines are fully described in the programming
section of the reference manual.
