1.O2 Overview
The Multi-Washer 10000 Series units are designed to dose chemical products to
multiple washer extractors in commercial/ industrial laundries. The maximum
number of products that can be used with a single unit is ten (10).
Depending on the size of the washers in the laundry, the system can be
configured with one or two dosing channels (consisting of collection manifold,
a pump, a flow meter, optional air flush, and distribution manifold). But
regardless of the number of dosage channels the maximum number of washers the
products can be distributed to by a single unit is ten (10).
All the components of the system are consistent with general purpose industry
standards, and the materials of construction are compatible with all normal
laundry products.
The measurements made by the built-in flow meter ensure reliable, accurate and
repeatable product dosage. The use of a flow meter also allows for additional
safety measures and alarms to prevent mixing of chemicals.
The pneumatic wall-mount units have five major components:
- The collection manifold (Mounted on the main panel.)
- The dosing channel (From the collection manifold on the main panel out to the distribution manifold.)
- The distribution manifold, (Mounted separately.)
- The calibration vase. (Mounted separately.)
- The communications boxes (To capture and transmit the signals from each washer extractor to the controller.)
When a qualified signal is detected by the communication box, the unit will
dose the appropriate products according to the settings of the formula and
washing phase being executed.
An external panel for an optional air flush can be used when larger doses or
longer distances are required in order to deliver the chemical doses to the
machines much faster and using less water.

A key feature to these systems is delivering up to 10 chemicals to up to 10
washers with durable, pneumatic, double-diaphragm pumps.
Aiding in the reliability and longevity of the system is a water flush that
cleans the entire channel after every product delivery.
The collection manifold, both sides of the pump, the flow meter, and all the
way through the distribution manifold to the washer is flushed with water, to
prevent the effects of long-term chemical exposure. * Collector and
Distributor Valve blocks could be Pneumatic (air) or Electro-mechanic (24Vdc)
operated

Installation
2.O1 Preliminary Tasks
It is highly recommended to visit the site well before installation, to
familiarize yourself with the physical layout of the laundry, the machines
present and their characteristics, the laundry products in use, and how any
current laundry dosing system is being employed.
Pay attention to the entire laundry system, its requirements and its
schedules, to ensure a smooth transition to, and installation of, your Multi-
Washer system.
Learn the operations of all the washers, as well as the products they use, and
why. Determine the capacities of the machines and what is involved in
programming their signals.
Measure the distance between where the main panel will be installed and the
location of the Distribution Manifold(s).
Determine where the communication boxes will be installed for each washer, as
well as the lengths of 4-conductor cable needed to daisy-chain them back to
the main panel, and the lengths of 10-conductor cable from each communication
box to each washer’s signal terminals. Identify the voltage each washer is
using for it’s signals. Determine how many conductors you need for connecting
the main panel and the distribution manifold(s) and the distance for that
connection.
Measure the lengths of chemical delivery hose that will be needed to run from
the main panel to the distribution manifold(s), from the distribution
manifold(s) to the washers, and back to the calibration vase. Identify how the
hoses will be routed, and what hardware will be required to accomplish that
scheme. Identify where the bulk chemicals will be placed and the lengths of
hose needed to connect them to the collection manifold of the main panel.
Calculate how many hose clamps will be necessary to complete the installation.
It is recommended to order the specific installation kit for the system being
installed, which is available from Hydro Systems. If the mounting hardware is
obtained from local providers, all items should be the same as the ones listed
in the kit.
Schedule an orderly transition from any previous dosing system in use, and
investigate if any portions of that system must be removed before the
installation of the Multi-Washer system. In case a previous unit is already
working in the site, all the existing elements must never interfere with the
new installation.
2.O2 Panel Mounting
-
In order to make the unit work correctly, it must be placed on a clear and flat wall.
-
The system must be placed at such a height that the screen can be easily manipulated.
-
The unit is mounted with four corner brackets that are approximately 25.25 in by 35.25 in (642 mm by 895 mm) for a 1-Channel unit or 27.9 in by 45.25 in (709 mm by 1150 mm) for a 2-Channel unit, but may vary slightly, so use the actual panel being installed as a template.
For the supplied mounting hardware, drill four 5/16” (8 mm) holes at indicated locations. -
Insert the included fittings.
-
Place the unit on the wall and use the included screws and mounting hardware to hang the system.
2.O3 Peripheral Elements
After placing the unit, it is necessary to mount the rest of the elements:
Distributor: This element is the responsible for diverting the products to the
corresponding washer extractor. Only one machine is attended while the others
are queued. It is recommended to set the distributor at a position equidistant
from the washer extractors.
Calibration Vase: Since this vase is used for dosage calibration, it should be
installed on the wall near the main panel. Please note the vase is connected
by a hose to the distribution manifold. Make provision for draining the
calibration vase and for overflow from the vent fitting.
Communication Boxes (machine signal interfaces): These elements are used to
get the signals from the machines to the dispenser controller. There must be
one box per washer extractor. The recommended position is a clear place on the
wall behind every machine.
2.O4 Tubing
With all the components mounted, they can be connected with the delivery
hoses. A flexible, reinforced, transparent, chemically-compatible hose of the
proper inside diameter is recommended. The delivery hose connections are 1/2”
barb and must be secured with worm-gear hose clamps. Check the fittings on the
washers and the chemical drum pickup systems, in case an adapter will be
required.
Water Inlet
The product delivery system will require water flow of about 1 to 2 gallons
per minute (gpm) at a dynamic (valves open) water pressure of 20 to 30 psi
(1.5 to 2 bar). Do not use a source that feeds other devices, if during the
feed the flow or pressure drops below these requirements.
Water of a higher pressure will require a pressure regulator before the
connection to the Multi-Washer system. If necessary, install the appropriate
Hydro Systems Booster Tank to supply water at the proper flow and pressure.
NOTE: 2-Channel images are shown. 1-Channel systems use the same setup, but
with only a single dosing channel to connect.
Chemical Pickup
These are the hoses that connect the chemical drum pickup system to the
Collection Manifold on the main panel. They allow product to be drawn into the
delivery channel by the pneumatic pump during the dosage cycle. Consider how
you want the chemical drums positioned to avoid having incompatible chemicals
too close together, and to allow a neat routing of the hoses to the collection
manifold on the main panel. Notice the water inlet is always the “first” valve
(in the direction of flow) on each collection manifold. Also notice how the
products are numbered and connected, starting next to the water, then
progressing in the direction of the flow. 2.O4 Tubing (continued)
Distribution Manifold Hoses
The product delivery hose from each channel on the Main Panel runs to its own
Distribution Manifold.
Then, from each distribution manifold, there is a hose that runs to each
washer, and a hose that runs back to the Calibration Vase (which should be
mounted near the main panel). The Calibration Vase solenoid will always be the
rightmost and the washer solenoids numbering will always start at the left, as
shown below. Some washers have two inputs, or you can “T” the dosage hoses
that come from each channel, at the washer. High Pressure Air Connection
Make sure there is sufficient air pressure, more than 60 psi or 4 bar, but not
more than 120 psi or 8 bar.
Air line coming into the main panel regulator must be a 3/8” (12mm) outside
diameter plastic hose, and the fittings are a “push-in” design with no tools
required.
“Push twice” to get the hose past the sealing O-ring and the grip ring.
To remove a hose from these fittings, push the external ring toward the
fitting to release the hose so it can be pulled out.
These fittings seal best when the hose goes “straight in”, not pulled at an
angle.
Once the main inlet is connected to the unit, set the regulator on the main
panel to 60 psi or 4 bar. 2.O4 Tubing (continued)
Optional Air-Assist Flush
There are generally three reasons you might consider employing the optional
Air-Assist Flush Panel:
- A long distance to some or all of the washers (over 100 feet / 30 meters).
- Large dosage volumes of product to be delivered.
- When you have short duration washer cycles.
The advantage of the air-assist flush is a much faster delivery than the water
flush.
The compressed air will push the product dosage to the washer very quickly and
also introduce much less water into the washer than would the normal water
flush.
The set up is shown to the right with one distributor, but it would be the
same for both channels.
The high pressure air supply should be independent; do not use the pre-
regulated pressurized air supply from the main panel. 2.O5 Electrical
Connections (Main Power & Input / Output / Communications Connections)
Note: Do not power up the unit until ALL input, output and communications
connections are connected.
Input: Main Power Connection
The 110 – 230VAC power input must be an independent 3 wire supply and a
dedicated 10-amp breaker is recommended. Never use a washer as the source for
the input power supply.
The power cord must be plugged into a grounded three prong outlet (or
equivalent) using all three wires on Bank X1 as follows:
- Phase – ‘L’ connector. (Black wire in U.S.)
- Neutral – ‘N’ connector. (White wire in U.S.)
- Ground – ‘PE’ connector (Green wire in U.S.)
- lack Wire to L
- White Wire to N
- Green Wire to PE
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
Input: Air Pressure Sensor Connections
If your system includes the optional Air Assist Flush feature, you must
connect the Air Pressure Sensors to the main panel on Bank X3. The Channel 1
sensor at M, L1+ and E02, and the Channel 1 sensor at M, L1+ and E03 as shown
below. Remove the jumper wires from L1+ to E02 and from L1+ to E03. If the Air
Pressure sensors are not being connected, those jumper wires must be in place
or the system will go into alarm when the air pressure test is performed.
Channel 1 Pressure Sensor
- Brown Wire to M
- Yellow Wire to L1+
- Gray Wire to E02
Channel 2 Pressure Sensor
- Brown Wire to M
- Yellow Wire to L1+
- Gray Wire to E03
NOTE: 2-Channel system shown.
1-Channel system uses the same setup, but with only a single sensor to
connect.
Input: Drum Level Sensor Connection
The Dositec Product Drum Lances have a built-in level sensor that can tell the
system if the chemical drum is empty.
You can have as many as ten of the level sensors connected to the main panel,
on Bank X3 using E04 through E13 and L1+ for the common ground connection.
Wire supplied by installer, colors may vary.
Wire 1) Product 01 connects to E04
Wire 2) Product 02 connects to E05
Wire 3) Product 03 connects to E06
Wire 4) Product 04 connects to E07
Wire 5) Product 05 connects to E08
Wire 6) Product 06 connects to E09
Wire 7) Product 07 connects to E10
Wire 8) Product 08 connects to E11
Wire 9) Product 09 connects to E12
Wire 10) Product 10 connects to E13
Wire 11) Common ground always connects to L1+
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
Input: External Emergency Stop Connection
The contacts OP1 and OP2 on Bank X5 are configured for an External Emergency
Stop function. It is a simple two- wire resistance circuit, like a switch.
When the circuit is closed (low resistance/continuity) the system operates
normally. When the circuit is open (high resistance/no continuity) the system
will perform an Emergency Stop.
There is normally a jumper/bridge wire between OP1 and OP2 so the system will
operate normally without an External Emergency Stop device. Remove the
jumper/bridge wire when using these connections. Wire colors are dependent
on the device manufacturer
Output: External Alarm Indicator Connection
The Multi-Washer’s main panel has a built-in alarm buzzer that is quite loud
with a piercing sound, but it also has two contacts on Bank X5, at A13 and M,
that are designed to energize an additional, external alarm indicator.
The contacts are configured to supply 24 Volts DC, at up to 2 amps, to
energize an external alarm indicator, like a strobe, buzzer or bell. 2.O5
Electrical Connections (continued)
Output: Distribution Manifold Solenoid Connection
The PLC controls the solenoids in the Distribution Manifolds through
connections made on Bank X6 and X7. Channel 1 uses A20 through A29 for
chemical delivery, A210 for the Calibration Vase, and M as the common ground.
Channel 2 uses A30 through A39 for chemical delivery, A310 for the Calibration
Vase, and M as the common ground.
Note: The connector in the distribution manifold for the calibration vase
solenoid is always marked “11”, even if less than ten washers are being
serviced.
Note: The single color wire, marked ‘M’ is the common Ground. Output:
Air Assist Flush Connection
The optional Air Assist Flush system (if present) is controlled by the PLC
using connections on Bank X6 and Bank X7.
Channel 1 uses A215 and M, while Channel 2 uses A315 and M, as shown below.
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
Communication: Machine Communication Boxes
The Multi-Washer’s Communication Boxes are the interface between the signals
coming from the washer and the formula programming to deliver certain products
at certain times. The simple On/Off signals from the washer are translated
into digital packets of information and transmitted back to the PLC over a
digital network. This allows a single four-wire cable to daisychain from one
communication box to another, which greatly simplifies installation.
Wiring
The connection at the main panel is on Bank X8 at L1+, M, A and B as shown
below. The four conductor cable runs to the “In” connector of the box closest
to the main panel. Any remaining boxes are connected with a cable running from
the “Out” connector to the “In” connector of the next box. The boxes are
identified to the PLC by the DIP switch settings as shown below. If you are
using the Remote Formula Selection accessory, their DIP switches must be set
to match the Communication Box to which they are connected. 2.O5 Electrical
Connections (continued)
End of Line Jumper
The End of Line Jumper must be in the left position for the all the
communication boxes, except for the last one, which must be in the right
position. The last communication box usually connects the last washer. The
jumper in this left position means communication box is connected to the
washer that is NOT the last one. The jumper in this right position means
communication box is connected to the last washer.
Filter Voltage Input Jumpers
The Communication Box is capable of receiving signal voltage from 18 V to 230
V. There is a jumper for each signal. They are placed between the resistors
and the terminals of the inputs. The jumper in the H (High) position means
that the input voltage signals is between 80V – 230V. The jumpers in the L
(Low) position means that the input voltage signal is between 18V – 80V.
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
Communication: Machine Signals
The signal wires from each washer connect to their respective Communications
Box using the row of connectors at the lower edge of the circuit board, with
the grounds jumpered to have a common connection, as shown below.
Communication: DIP Switch 5 – Auto-Formula Select Time
On the DIP switch that identifies the Communications Box (see above), the
fifth DIP switch is used to adjust the time period for Auto-Formula Select
(AFS). With switch 5 in the Off position, 5 seconds is the AFS time, so an AFS
signal of 15 seconds would select Formula 3. With switch 5 in the On position,
3 seconds is the AFS time, so an AFS signal of 9 seconds would select Formula
3.
There are 6 possible ID Modes of identifying a new incoming formula according
to the possibilities of the signals. Please check with your washer providers
to decide which ID Mode to use.
- Note all examples used below are with the 5sec setting (Switch 5 OFF) and times shown would be different if Switch 5 was ON (3 secs).
ID Mode 1: Time of signal 6
Every time signal 6 is received, the unit starts a new process. The formula number is determined by the time (in seconds) this signal remains active according to this table:
Formula | Time | Formula | Time | Formula | Time |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 5 | 7 | 35 | 13 | 65 |
2 | 10 | 8 | 40 | 14 | 70 |
3 | 15 | 9 | 45 | 15 | 75 |
4 | 20 | 10 | 50 | 16 | 80 |
5 | 25 | 11 | 55 | 17 | 85 |
6 | 30 | 12 | 60 | 18 | 90 |
n | 5 x n |
Signal 6 cannot be used for dosing because it is already used for
identification. Big formula numbers imply long times.
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
ID Mode 2: Time of signals 1+5
Every time signals 1 and 5 are received simultaneously, the unit starts a new
process. The formula number is determined by the time (in seconds) that these
signals remain active according to this table:
N. For.| Time| N. For.| Time| N. For.| Time|
N. For.| Time
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
S1| S5| S1| S5| S1| S5| S1| S5

Both signals 1 and 5 are available for later dosing as long as they are
received independently. This mode is recommendable when the machine allows
controlling the time of two signals.
The maximum time that this mode takes is 45 seconds (for programs ended in 9).
ID Mode 3: Pairs of signals
Every time two simultaneous signals are received, the unit starts a new
process. The formula number is given by the table below:
Formula | Signals |
---|---|
1 | 1+2 |
2 | 1+3 |
3 | 1+4 |

In this mode, no time control is needed. It is recommendable when the machine
allows sending two simultaneous signals without the possibility to control
their time. All signals are available after identification as long as they are
receive independently.
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
ID Mode 4: Formula selector
This is a non-automatic way of identification. It is recommended when there is
no possibility to control the signals of the washer extractor. By using the
UP/DOWN buttons, it is possible to set the formula number. When the end of the
cycle is reached (reset), the formula selector shows ‘00’.
ID Mode 5: Signal = Formula
Every time signal 6 is received, the unit gets ready to identify the new
formula number. After this, the following incoming signal will determine the
number of formula (no dosage will occur). The next time any signal comes
(except from 6); the dosage associated to it will begin. This means we have a
maximum of 7 formulas since the signal board has 8 inputs. Formula 6 is not
available.
ID Mode 6: Binary
In this mode, the machine sends any combination of signals between 1 and 5.
Signal 6 must be also sent simultaneously with this combination. The
combination of signals defines a number in binary code. Signal number 6 tells
the unit to begin a new formula whose number is the one defined by the
combination. All the signals must take the same time, which must be greater
than the acceptance time defined earlier. The table shows the correspondence
between the formula number and the signals received (solid squares).
This means that the program in the washer extractor must begin with a previous
phase where the identification is carried out.
This phase can also be used to get some water level.
Once the formula is established, the next phases can contain the signals for
the dosing orders
2.O5 Electrical Connections (continued)
There are 4 possible Working Modes of dosing. They determine how the unit
executes the dosage in every phase defined in the formula according to the
reception of signals. Please check with your washer providers to decide which
mode to select during programming.
Mode 1: ‘Signal’
This is the most recommendable mode. We need the same number of available
signals in the machine as dosing phases in the formula.
The unit will dose all the products involved in the phase which corresponds to
the number of incoming signal. Once the products are dosed, the reception of
the same signal number has no effect until the formula starts again. For this
reason, all the phases are executed only once. See the example: Mode 2
‘Sequential’
The reception of either signal 1 or 2 makes the unit jump to the next dosing
phase.
It is possible to leave phases without products in case we need to skip
rinses. Just for the first phase, we can also use signal 5. (E.g. we can
connect a filling valve to signal 5). In this way, we have one criterion for
the formula start.
The reception of signal 5 after having executed the first phase has no effect.
This mode is called ‘drain’ because we can always use the drain valve to
advance every step in case there are no more signals available. The risk of
using this mode is that the process in the machine must never be advanced
manually due to synchronism with the unit would be lost. See the example:
Mode 3 ‘Signal + repetition’
This mode works in the same mode as the first one. The only difference is that
all the dosing phases are executed every time their corresponding signal is
received. See the example: Mode 3 ‘Signal + repetition’
Works like the sequential case with one exception: The progress from phase 2
to 3 can only be done with the reception of signal 3.
See a example:
System start-up
When you have finished the physical installation of the system, you can begin
the start-up procedure, detailed below:
3.O1 Configuring the System Settings
It is necessary to define all the parameters related to the unit, products,
channels and washer extractors. Although you can do this at the front panel,
it is easier to use Hydro Connect to configure the unit remotely from a PC.
3.O2 Prime the Hoses that go to the Washer Extractors with Water
The hoses in the delivery channel and from the distribution manifold to the
washers need to be filled with water. To do this, use to the calibration
screen and do successive ‘Water’ calibrations to each washer. Also fill the
hose that comes back to the calibration vase by selecting it as the
destination. Check for leaks before proceeding to the next step.
3.O3 Prime the Suction Hoses of every Product
The hoses that run from product pick-up drum lances to the collection manifold
on the main panel also need to be filled. Once again use the calibration
function but this time select ‘Product’ as calibration mode. You can send the
flow to a washer or the calibration vase, releasing the button to stop the
dose as soon as the product hose is filled to the collection manifold. If you
are sending the flow to the calibration vase, open the valve at the bottom of
the vase.
After each calibration you will be required to run a flush to clean the
delivery channel. If you are sending the flow to the calibration vase, watch
out for an overflow when doing the flush. It is important to take into account
the chemical incompatibilities when choosing the order of the products to
prime. If the delivery channel or vase is not sufficiently cleaned by the
flush, do a water calibration until you are satisfied.
3.O4 Calibration of Products
Now that all the hoses are primed, you can do the product calibrations. Select
the Product whose delivery you wish to calibrate in the calibration screen,
and choose the calibration vase as the destination. Check that the valve at
the bottom of the calibration vase is closed. Press and hold the calibration
button while sending the dosage to the vase. Remember that the vase will begin
to fill with water, not product, which is correct since the volume of water is
the same as the volume of product being pulled from the collection manifold.
Release the button to stop the dose when there is a representative sample in
the vase (use the average of the maximum and minimum dose for each chemical),
check the volume scale on the side of the vase and enter the actual volume
pumped on the PLC touchscreen in milliliters.
3.O5 Calibration of Water
Although you could calibrate water delivery to the calibration vase,
calibrating at the washer farthest from the main panel provides the worst case
scenario for pumping against back pressure. Put a bucket or other container at
the inlet hose for the washer, and hold the Calibration button down long
enough to get a sizable volume delivered, like half a gallon (2 liters).
Carefully measure the volume of water that was delivered and enter that volume
in the Actual field for the calibration in milliliters.
3.O6 Check the Dosage Calibration with Manual Dose
To verify the flow meter measurements, perform a manual dosage to the
calibration vase, with the Flush option set to “No”, and with the valve at the
bottom of the vase closed. Then confirm the volume in the vase is the same as
the manual dosage volume you entered on the PLC display. Since using the
manual dose function to check the flow meter measurement must be done with the
vase valve closed and without flush, you will have to open the vase valve and
flush the delivery channel as a separate operation.
3.O7 Adjusting Flush Time for Each Washer Extractor
Use the Manual Dose function (with the Flush Option set to “Yes”) and send a
dosage to each washer extractor. Choose a product with a noticeable color, so
you can watch at the inlet of the washer extractor and see if the current
flush volume is enough to take the full product dosage inside the washer. If
the water flush volume needs to be adjusted, that is done on the “Parameters
of Washer Extractors” screen.
3.O8 Test the System
Run each washer one by one, and verify that the PLC is receiving all the
washer’s signals, and responding with the proper product delivery, based on
the formula selected and the configuration for each wash phase. The number of
the formula and the corresponding phases must be reflected in the “View
machines” screen.
