Preliminary Information
About the Control
The UniLinc control on the tumbler is an advanced, 
graphical, programmable computer that lets the owner 
control most machine features by interacting with the 
control. 
UniLinc allows the owner to program custom cycles, 
run diagnostic cycles, and retrieve audit and error 
information. 
Tumblers shipped from the factory have default cycles 
and other settings built in. The owner can change the 
default cycle or any cycle.
IMPORTANT: It is extremely important that the 
tumbler has a positive ground and that all 
mechanical and electrical connections are made 
before applying power to or operating the tumbler.
Power Failure Recovery
If a cycle is in progress when the power fails, and if 
the power outage lasts three or more seconds, the cycle 
is lost and cannot be resumed when power recovers. If 
the power outage lasts less than three seconds, the 
control will resume the cycle when the power 
recovers. 
Communications
The control has the ability to communicate with a 
PDA and a laptop with an IrDA device running the 
UniLinc software. Devices such as PDAs and laptops 
that are IrDA capable (able to transmit information to 
machine) that have been tested and approved for use 
with the UniLinc software can be used as a tool for 
managing the machine. 
The control will also accept communication with a 
network which allows the control to be linked to a 
personal computer. This network link allows an owner 
to program, collect data and run diagnostics on any 
machine. For detailed information on network 
communications, refer to the network instructions.
Audit Information 
The control collects and stores audit information, 
which can be accessed with a PDA, PC or network. 
Refer to the following list for some of the available 
audit information. Refer to UniLinc PC and PDA

program data from the control, and send programming 
data and diagnostic commands to the control. Refer to 
UniLinc PC and PDA Application User Instructions 
for additional information.
Some of the above listed audit data is available 
manually. Refer to Laundry Management section.
