This installation article covers WCN Dexter washers.



Parts

  1. Reader (with Generic Relay board)
  2. Cable harness
  3. 12V power supply
  4. High voltage sensor (optional)

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 reader circuit board: 


    Review our: Reader DIP Switch settings article for details on how to set the Card Reader's Machine Type, and Reader Number.
    You need to do this BEFORE installing the Card Readers onto the machines, as accessing the back of the card reader is required.

  3. Turn machine power OFF!

  4. Open machine hood

  5. Remove coin-box or other card reader

  6. START wires
    Splice the START wires (White and green) from the harness to the two black wires inside the washer control




  7. Reader Power
    In most case, you should have been provided with a 12V power supply which connects to the reader's wiring harness through a barrel connector. Connect the AC side of the power supply to 110V/220V in the machine.  If you have not been provided with a 12V power supply, you can splice the red and blue wires from the reader's harness across the two grey wires in the above photo (the grey wires carry 24Vac)

  8. High voltage sensor box
    If you've been provided with a high voltage sensor box, connect the two red wires across the Door Lock solenoid, which uses the Blue and White/Green mixed wires in the washer.



  9. Mounting
    Remove the coin-drop and install the coin-drop block-out plate. Also remove the coin-box.
    Install the backplate over the coin-box vault. 


    Attach reader this backplate and secure using the dome nut. 

  10. Activate the reader using the store's Activation Card:



Pricing

Set the Card Reader's vend price via the Laundro Portal.
See our Configuring Card Reader/Machine Vend Prices article for specific instructions for Pulse Reader vend pricing.

Pricing of the Card Reader is set using the LaundroPortal (this will NOT adjust the price displayed on the machine's display).

The reader sends a single pulse to start the machine.
Ensure that the washer is configured to start a cycle from a single pulse.
Typically this is done by either setting the machine's vend price to $0.25/1 coin;
Alternatively, you can change the Coin Value setting of the machine, so that each pulse ("coin") is worth the full vend price of the machine so that it starts from 1 tap of a laundry card.

If it's not possible to adjust the machine's Coin Value setting, and you do not want the machine's display to show a $0.25 starting price, contact our support team to get help setting up a Multi-Pulse Control Type
