WARNING
TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
SERIOUS INJURIES TO PEOPLE OR DAMAGE TO
PROPERTY, PLEASE READ AND OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
C011
• This manual version is an original English version. Without

the original version these instructions are not complete. Be-
fore installation and operation at the machines read complete
instructions thoroughly which means the following manuals:
"Programming manual", "Installation/Operation/Maintenance
manual". Follow the instruction written in manuals and keep
the manuals in a proper place by the machine for later use.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to change the manuals
without previous notice. All stated information is only for in-
formative purpose and must be considered as general. It is not
possible to present all the specific data of the software and
setup.
• The machine can be modified for LMS cable connection only
by a qualified service technician who is familiar with the ma-
chine and with valid safety methods to be followed during
machine modification. A qualified service technician who
performs this modification takes full responsibility for the as-
sembly. Manufacturer / Supplier does not bear any responsi-
bility for machine modification and for a possible injury of
the operator or damage on property related to the machine
modification for LMS cable connection.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any problems that
should occur at the installation or use (misuse) of the LMS
software on the PC, laptop or other informatics equipment.
• Before installation disconnect the machine power supply.
When the main switch is off, the inlet terminals of the switch
are still under current.
• To minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, serious personal
injury or property damage, check the machine before its ad-
justment to prevent the presence of any devices or electric
wires inside the machine in the spot of the hole drilling.
• Communication cable, memories and RTC (real time clock)
must be connected according to Programming manual, in ac-
cordance with the local valid norms and connection must be
executed by qualified persons with the relevant valid compe-
tence.

Application
Application
LMS Application is a management tool as assistance for a Bio-

contaminiation control System at laundries and hospitals. LMS
Application has been developed especially to visualize and save
wash process data in an informatics system or registered on pa-
per.
LMS Application contains functions to ensure that the wash cycle
is completed correctly.
• Program name
• Step / bath type
• Time
• Temperature
• Water level
• Chemicals / supply outputs and soap compartments
• Agitation speed
• Drain type and duration
• Spin duration and speed
On select controls, the LMS Application allows to create reports
and graphs with personalised header. Each wash cycle and Batch
is traceable by a unique ID number. A RTC (real time clock) is
provided with the LMS Application set and stores Date and Time.

Application Setup
Application Setup
Washing Machine
During communication with a PC, the washing machine must be
connected with communication cable to the PC.
The wash cycle data is send from washing machine to PC where
it is stored on harddisk. Plug On RTC (real time clock) maintains
Date and Time.
Wash Computer
A unique communication address must be set at the Configura-
tion Menu so that each wash computer will respond separately.
By default, the communication address is 255.
If Traceability function is required, it must be turned on at the
Advanced Menu.
• "Traceability" function must be turned on.
• "Traceability Store PC" or "Traceability Store DAQ" must be
turned on.
NOTE: If "Traceability Store PC" is used, the machine
must be connected to a PC via network or through a
USB to RS4685 convertor.
NOTE: "Traceability Store DAQ" must be cleared often.
To clear it, connect the machine to a PC and download
the stored data.
At the Running-Status screen can be monitored if there is com-
munication between wash computer and PC available.

System Requirements
System Requirements
The LMS Application has the following minimum recommended

PC requirements:
• Windows 2000 SP4 or later
• CPU 1.5GHz or better
• 512MB RAM
• 50MB free space on hard drive
• Serial port (RS232) - present on models outside of North
America or USB port (depends on used bus adapter)

Application Installation
Software Installation (CD-ROM,
Download)
1. Insert the installation CD in the CD-ROM or DVD drive of
your computer or download the software from Parts Connec-
tion (the download link is located in your model´s Related
Literature section).
2. If LMS Application does not start up automatically, double-
click the file “ LMS_setup.exe” on the installation CD.
NOTE: The installer will try to locate if a previous
version is still installed. If it is, you will be prompted
to remove the previous version. Follow the
onscreen instructions.

USB BUS Adapter Installation

NOTE: USB bus adapter installation guides for several
operating system versions can be found on FTDI web-
site: http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/Install-
Guides.htm.
Generally speaking, when USB adapter is first plugged into com-
puter, the operating system will ask for drivers, which can be
found on installation CD in directory "USBDrivers". If the PC is
connected to the Internet, you will be prompted to download the
drivers. The drivers can also be downloaded from Parts Connec-
tion (the download link is located in your model´s Related Litera-
ture). The USB bus adapter will create virtual serial port with the
description "USB Serial Port", which should be set on the LMS
Application communication settings page (refer to Communica-
tion Settings). The port can be configured in Windows Device
Manager (can be displayed by right-clicking on "My Computer"
icon, select "Properties" item, system information window opens,
select tab "Hardware", click on button "Device manager..."). Find
the item "Ports (COM and LPT)", and item "USB Serial Port
(COMx)", where x is number of virtual serial port.

Basic Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

General Communication
If you are experiencing communication errors, please check the
following:
• Check the communication cable (compare with the schematic
attached to manual).
• Check the connection of the communication cable from the
PC to the washer.
• Ensure that the communication address used in the LMS Ap-
plication is also configured on the washer.
• Check the communication using washer monitor functionali-
ties “Scan network” and “Monitor network”.
Traceability
If you are experiencing traceability errors, please check the fol-
lowing:
• Check the communication cable (compare with the schematic
attached to manual).
• Check the connection of the communication cable from the
PC to the washer.
• Check that traceability is configured to the right machine ad-
dress(es).
• Ensure that the traceability functionality on the wash is turned
on (Advanced > Traceability) and its traceability report option
is configured to either StoreDAQ or Store PC.
• Check the status of communication between the washer and
the LMS Application on the machine’s status screen (item PC
Comm).
