Speed-Queen/Huebsch SCxxMY/HCxxMY washers

This installation covers Speed-Queen/Huebsch washers with Mechanical controls (without a digital coin board). A high voltage relay is used to control the mechanical timer of the machine.

Parts

  • Reader

  • Cable harness

  • High Voltage sensor (this tells the card reader that the machine is busy)

  • High voltage relay (this controls the mechanical timer)

  • Power supply adapter for the reader

Installation

  1. Before proceeding, you should assign numbers to each of the machines in the laundry room/building. It is highly recommended that you place number labels on each washer and dryer machine.

  2. Set the machine type and number using the DIP switch on the MCU circuit board:



    See DIP switch settings page to understand how to configure DIP switch positions to set the machine type (washer or dryer) and number. Note that MCUs may already come from Mitech configured with the appropriate DIP switch settings. Proceed with installing the MCU on the corresponding machine type and number.

  3. Turn machine power OFF!

  4. Connect the two start wires from the high voltage relay to J9-3-3 and J9-3-9 (shown below)


  5. Connector the two wires from the high voltage sensor to J9-3-7 and J9-3-1

  6. Splice the AC-side of the 12V power adapter to the power terminal block (110V or 220Vac).

  7. Connect the relay, the voltage sensor, and the 12V supply to main reader harness

  8. Mount the reader to the machine, and activate it with the Activation card:

Troubleshooting

Below are problems that are sometimes encountered with this machine. For more general reader troubleshooting, see Reader Support Process

Issue

Explanation and resolution

Reader display showing "BUSY" but machine not running

The problem is likely in one these three issues:
1)the High Voltage Sensor is not properly connected
2)there's a problem with the High Voltage Sensor.
3)there's a problem with the washing machine
4)there's a problem with the card reader
If this is a new installation....
Chances are it is issue #1, so double check the splicing to the two grey wires. You should also do a reader Swap with a reader/machine that IS presently working.
If this reader/machine was working before....
Then it is likely issue #2 or #3. Call into Laundroworks support for assistance. We can configure the reader to ignore the High Voltage Sensor to see if reader can start the machine.
