Laundrylux Hero Washers

This installation note covers Laundrylux Hero (or Encore Pro) Washers (being installed in a Card ONLY configuration).
These readers use serial control to communication with the machine's control board directly.

If you are installing card readers on these machines, in a Hybrid Coin+Card Configuration,
you'll want to follow our Laundrylux - Hero Dryers installation article, as Hero Washer and Dryer readers, in a Hybrid configuration, use the same reader boards, and are connected to the machine's coin drop input in the same manner.
