Parts

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. Ensure that the machine is configured to communicate with the card reader. Consult the Maytag user manual for details on how to do this. In summary, you need to access programming menu and go into the Coin/Debit option sub-menu. If the setting value is J.Cd or J._d, the machine is already configured to communicate with a card reder. If the setting value is J.C_, then you need to change it to either J.Cd or J._d.
  4. Turn machine power OFF!
  5. Remove coin-drop or other card reader
  6. Connect “Reader” side of cable to the Reader's only 6-pin header
  7. Feed mounting bolt through the meter case
  8. Secure reader using the mounting bolt
  9. Connect “Machine” side of cable to the Machine's 6-pin header, shown below
