Soap Level Detection 
This is an optional feature that your system may not be equipped with. There are 2 inputs 
that allow connection to external dry contacts that allow detection of 2 soap levels.  Soap 
Level #1 input warns of low soap levels, and Soap Level #2 warns that there is no more 
soap.  In the case of low soap levels, the unit is still useable, but the scrolled message in 
Power-Up and OFF states indicates L O W   S O A P   L E V E L   -   R E - O R D E R .  If soap level 
drops such that Soap Level #2 detects it, then the unit is no longer operational at the end of 
the current cycle.  The unit will remain in Power-Up or OFF states and scroll A D D   S O A P

Dry Fire Detection 
If the heater sheath temperature ever reaches the Dry Fire Threshold, then the situation is 
called a dry fire and the control shuts off the outputs and switches to the Power-up state.  
This overrides any effective mode of operation.  This is the normal way to detect that the 
tank has been drained. 
The algorithm used to detect this can be fine-tuned by the OEM.  There are 2 low-level 
parameters for this. The Heater is pulsed every Dry-Fire Period time, each of these pulses last 
0% to 100% (Dry-Fire Duty) of the Dry-Fire Period time.  For example, the Heater can be on 
30 milliseconds every 100 milliseconds, which corresponds to a 30% duty at a rate of 100 
milliseconds.  With these parameters, the OEM can select the best compromise between fast 
response time (detection of the empty tank) and low energy consumption of the appliance. 
At any time, the Up/Down pair of keys can be pressed (at the same time) to display the 
current heater sheath temperature.  The 1
st
 line of the display will scroll S H E A T H  
T E M P E R A T U R E
 and the 2
nd
 line will display the current heater sheath temperature.  After 
5 seconds, the display reverts to whatever was previously displayed. 
 
 
Change Water Feature 
The total Wash time is constantly monitored.  Whenever this reaches Change Water Time, the 
unit finishes its current wash cycle if needed, and then displays C H A N G E   W A T E R  until a 
dry fire is detected (a new cycle cannot be started before the tank water has been changed).  
At this point, the Power-up state then becomes active and the display is cleared. 
This condition will remain active (even through a power interruption) until 1 of 2 things 
happen: (a) the tank is actually emptied and the Dry Fire Detection resets the total wash 
time; (b) the user may “clear” the condition (reset the total wash time) by pressing all 3 
language keys at the same time.  This last is useful for demonstration purposes, where one 
might not want to really drain the unit.
