    LC3000 is designed to work with the Blackboard Transaction System (BbTS) and provides user interface through a display, keypad, and mag-stripe reader. The network connections are 10/100 Base-T or RS-485. The LC3000 supports new installations for wired or wireless laundry centers. Information for retrofits is available in the “Appendix”...
  • Page 6 In laundry centers with 20 or fewer machines, you only need a single LCM20, which is installed inside the LC3000 enclosure. If your laundry center supports more than 20 machines, a multiplexer (an LCM20) and an enclosure (LE3/PSENCL) are needed for each additional set of 20 laundry machines.
  • Page 7 A laundry wireless interface (LWI) must be installed in every laundry machine to facilitate communication between the laundry machines and the LC3000 Laundry Reader. The LWI includes a Wireless Interface Module and a wiring harness. Several models of LWIs are available. Use...

    The Multiplexer communicates with the LC3000 and controls up to 20 laundry machines. Up to three LCM20 Multiplexers can be connected to an LC3000 to control a maximum of 60 laundry machines. The LC3000 communicates to an LCM20 over an RS-485 bus.

    Laundry Wireless Bridge (LE3/BRIDGE) The Bridge provides a wireless connection between the LC3000 and laundry machines. It communicates with the LC3000 over an RS-485 bus and communicates with LWIs within the laundry machines over a wireless network. Laundry Wireless Interface (LWI) The LWI is a wiring harness installed inside the laundry machine and interfaces with the machine controller.

    NSTALLATION Select a mounting method based on the application and the network mode of the reader. The LC3000 enclosure is designed to mount on a wall: it can be flush-mounted (wiring can come from the interior of the wall); or it can be surface-mounted (wiring can run through conduit on the exterior of the wall).

    The LC3000 board provides both 10/100 Base-T TCP/IP and RS-485 network connections for communications with the BbTS (NP, Network Processor). Select a connection based on the local network. Once you connect the LC3000 to the network, configure the LC3000 for the network. Refer to the LC3000 Laundry Reader Configuration (page 13) for details on configuring the unit.

    ID on the label. This ensures the correct LWI30XX module is installed into the assigned laundry machine. All laundry machines within the laundry center must be assigned a number between 1 and 60. The LC3000 displays this number during normal operation and uses it to determine which LWI30XX module receives a pulse command when a patron selects a specific machine.

    When configuring an LWI for a stacked dryer unit, enter the odd number for the lower half of the stack dryer. The LC3000 will internally configure the upper (even-numbered) half of the stack dryer unit. For example, a Maytag Stack Dryer, labelled as machines 3 and 4, lower and upper halves respectively, would specify machine number 3 as the half requiring configuration.
