WIRED INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
• Install the LCM20 in the LC3000 (page 1-15)
• Install External LCM20(s) (if required) (page 1-16)
Only laundry centers with more than 20 laundry machines need External LCM20s. Each LCM20
communicates with up to 20 laundry machines.
• Laundry Controller Interface (LCI) Installation (page 1-18)
The wired Blackboard laundry solution supports up to 60 laundry machines. Multiplexers (LCM20s)
facilitate up to 20 wired machine connections each. In laundry centers with 20 or fewer machines, a single
Multiplexer is installed inside the LC3000 enclosure. Laundry Centers supporting more than 20 machines
require additional Multiplexers and enclosures for mounting, power and protection. Order an enclosure,
LE3/PSENCL, for each additional Multiplexer. The Reader supports three (3) Multiplexers.
Each Multiplexer connects to 20 machines, using a Laundry Controller Interface installed inside the
machine. The Laundry Controller Interface (LCI) is a wiring harness that communicates with the laundry
machine controller.
