Overview  
ADVANTECHCommercial Laundry Products  
Whirlpool® ADVANTECHcommercial laundry  
products allows the use of a Palmhandheld device,  
also referred to as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA),  
for washer and dryer installation, setup, setting  
special vend prices, washer and dryer software  
upgrades, and transferring data to and from a  
personal computer (PC). This information is setup on  
the PC using ADVANTECHManagement Software,  
which is then used to download ADVANTECH™  
Handheld Software to the Palmhandheld. The  
Palmhandheld uses an infrared light beam to  
communicate  
information  
contained  
in  
the  
Management Software to the washer and dryer. See  
Information Flowchart on page 3.  
Before downloading the Handheld Software to a PDA  
device running the Palmoperating system,  
ADVANTECHManagement Software must be  
installed and running on your PC. Passwords,  
machine setup, and Handheld Software are available  
within the Management Software package. This  
software instruction manual details the initial setup of  
the ADVANTECHManagement and Handheld  
Software and its use with the PC, the Palm™  
handheld (or other PDA), and the ADVANTECH™  
commercial laundry products.  
It is assumed that you are familiar with the basic  
operation and use of the Palmhandheld and the PC,  
and that you have followed all installation instructions  
that came with the Palmhandheld for the setup of  
the Palmsoftware, including the HotSync® Manager,  
and its cradle. See the Palm owner’s manual for more  
information. Setup of the Palmsoftware and a  
successful HotSync® between the PDA & the PC  
should be accomplished prior to the installation of the  
ADVANTECHManagement Software onto the PC.

Overview  
Commands for the Management Software, installed  
on the PC, can be entered by using either the  
keyboard or the mouse. Commands for the Handheld  
Software will be entered using the stylus (provided  
with the Palmhandheld) to “tap” on the Palm™  
handheld screen. Occasionally you may be asked to  
enter text into the Palmhandheld using the Graffiti®  
text characters or the Palmkeyboard. Additional  
information regarding the use of Graffiti ® text and the  
Palmkeyboard can be found in your Palm owner’s  
manual.  
Important:  
The electronic controls within the laundry machines  
are factory preset to accept commands from a Palm™  
handheld equipped with the ADVANTECHHandheld  
Software. If the Palmhandheld is not to be used,  
this functionality needs to be disabled. Failure to  
disable the handheld device can result in  
unauthorized machine access. To manually disable  
handheld functionality, see the Important Set Up  
Information on the Service Tech Sheet. To disable  
Handheld functionality using the Palmhandheld, see  
Machine Templates section of this manual.

ADVANTECHManagement Software Setup  
Management Software Overview  
Once you have completed the installation of the  
Management and Handheld Software, you are ready  
to begin setup of the Management Software. The  
Management Software stores databases on your PC  
to help you manage your laundry locations, machine  
setups, audits, exceptions, and service data. With the  
Management Software you can also generate reports  
to track machine usage for a specified time period.  
The preferred monitor resolution for the Management  
Software is 1024x768 pixels or higher. If that is not  
possible on your monitor, the Management Software  
window will need to be Restored every time the  
program is launched. See page 16, step 4 for more  
information.  
To restore the Management Software window:  
1.  
Click on the Restore button, located in the  
extreme upper right of the screen.  
Note: All instructions included in this manual  
assume that the Management Software is launched  
and the screen display is set so that all six command  
buttons can be viewed. See illustration on next page.

Downloading Machine Setup Data to the PalmHandheld via a HotSync®  
Once you have setup your passwords, locations, and  
templates you can download the information from the  
PC to the PDA via the HotSync® process. The PDA will  
be in Open-Access Mode until the first HotSync®  
operation is performed. In Open-Access mode your  
machines are vulnerable to any PDA with the Handheld  
Software loaded on them, however, only a limited  
number of utilities are available in this mode: Get/Set  
Time, Get Setup, Start/End Cycles, Audit Count,  
Service Mode, and Run Diagnostics. It is recommended  
that you sync your PDAs with the Management  
Software and initialize your machines as soon as  
possible after installation. After the first HotSync®  
operation has been performed the PDAs will then be in  
Synced Mode, where all features will become  
available.  
Before performing a HotSync® operation, make sure the  
Management Software has been launched on the PC  
and that the Palmhandheld is in its cradle. Refer to  
page 15 of this manual for instructions on installing the  
Handheld Software.

Data exchange between PDA & Machine  
Overview  
Once you have completed the initial setup of the  
Management and Handheld Software, and have  
downloaded the data to the Palmhandheld, you are  
ready to upload the information to the ADVANTECH™  
commercial laundry products. Part of this process  
requires the initialization of each machine so data can  
be exchanged between the Palmhandheld and the  
ADVANTECHequipment. When initialization is  
complete, templates may then be uploaded to the  
machines.  
Starting the Handheld Software and Logging In  
1. Remove the Palmhandheld from its cradle and  
turn it on, if necessary.  
2. Using the stylus, tap the Palmhandheld screen  
to scroll to the ADVANTECH icon.  
3.  
Tap on the ADVANTECH icon.  
4. The Welcome screen appears.  
5. Tap on Continue.

Data exchange between PDA & Machine  
Initializing Machines  
Initialization prepares a machine for use with the  
Management Software. Before machine is  
a
initialized, it is in Open-Access Mode. This means  
any PDA with the Handheld Software installed can  
access your machines. So it is very important to  
initialize your machines as soon as possible. When a  
machine is initialized, information such as the Owner  
ID, Access Password, and Location ID are uploaded  
to the machine. These passwords and IDs protect  
your machines from unauthorized user access. A  
machine name (number) will be assigned and audit  
information can be obtained.  
Important:  
Communication between the Palmhandheld and the  
ADVANTECHequipment is done through an  
infrared light beam. Therefore, the position of the PDA  
in relation to the machine is critical for successful  
completion of the data transfer.  
The infrared communication port on the PDA is  
usually located at the top of the device. The receiver  
on the machine is located to the right of the last digit  
on the display panel. See picture below.  
40  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Data exchange between PDA & Machine  
Aim the handheld much like you would aim a TV  
remote control. Be sure to locate the infrared port on  
the device that you are using and understand the  
direction of its beam to ensure a successful data  
transmission. Ensure that the distance between the  
PDA and the infrared receiver on the machine is less  
than 5-inches. Strong light sources not excluding  
sunlight, or close proximity of other infrared devices  
such as alarm systems may inhibit the transmission of  
data. To remedy this situation, simply use your hand  
to shield the receiver & or the PDA port.

infrared receiver then tap on OK when the ID is  
correct.  
Important:  
Machine IDs must begin with a “W” for washers or a  
“D” for dryers, followed by an additional five digits.  
The Handheld Software suggests a logical numbering  
order. Or, if you prefer, you could use the product  
serial number as well as another system of your  
choice. Machine IDs must also be unique within a  
location.

Backing Up the Management Software  
Periodically you should backup your Management  
Software to protect your data from accidental loss in  
the event of a PC failure.  
Before beginning a backup, ensure that you have  
enough diskettes, or other media, to accommodate  
your backup data. Due to the large size of the  
database files that are backed up, it is recommended  
that backups be to a CD or tape drive.  
All files that should be backed up have a .mbd  
extension, and are located in the installation directory.  
The default installation directory is listed below:  
C:\Program Files\Advantech\Whirlpool  
Advantech\DB-Report.  
1. Select Start, Programs, Windows Explorer.  
2. Navigate to the default installation directory for  
the Management Software, unless you specified  
a different location at the time of install.  
3. On the right side of the screen select all files with  
an .mbd extension.  
Hint:  
To select multiple files, press the [Ctrl] key while  
selecting the .mbd files.  
4. Select Edit, Copy from the menu.  
5. Single-click on the drive letter to which you wish  
to backup your data. For example, if you are  
backing up to a floppy disk, single-click on the  
3 ½ Floppy (A:) drive.  
6. Select Edit, Paste from the menu.

a command screen appears. The Select a command screen is  
where you can choose to Get Audit data.  
Aiming the PDA  
Audits are taken by “beaming” information from the laundry machines  
to the PDA through an infrared light beam. Therefore, the position of  
the PDA in relation to the machine is critical for successful completion  
of the data transfer.  
The infrared communication port on the PDA is located at the top of the  
device. The receiver on the machine is located to the right of the last  
digit on the display panel.

audits.  
ADVANTECHSystem Quick Reference Sheet  
Aiming the PDA (continued)  
Aim the handheld much like you would aim a TV remote control. Be  
sure to hold the PDA at a ninety-degree angle to the machine’s control  
panel. To ensure successful data transmission, make sure the distance  
between the PDA and the machine is six inches or less. Strong sunlight  
or the use of other infrared devices such as alarm systems may inhibit  
the transmission of data. To remedy this situation, simply use your  
hand to shade the receiver or the PDA.  
Taking a Machine Audit  
1.  
2.  
Aim the handheld at the laundry machine’s receiver.  
Tap on Get Audit, located on the Select a command screen on  
the PDA.  
3.  
4.  
When the Audit is complete a checkmark should appear next to  
all items listed on the screen. Tap on Back to return to the Select  
a command screen.  
Repeat steps 1-3 to take audits from additional machines.  
Important:  
If all items on the Get Audit screen are checked, then the operation  
was a success. If some items are not checked, then the communication  
has failed. In the event of a failed audit, tap the Back button, check  
your aim of the PDA in relation to the control panel on the laundry  
machine, and perform steps 1-3 again.
