FM7 Computer
The FM7 Computer is a powerful and 7
programable solid state controller. Up to 30
programs, each with up to 15 cycles can be
programmed. In addition, the FM7 can display 8 Number keys

Chemical Hold Signal

The chemical hold interface on the FM7 is If the return of the chemical signal after the
accomplished by connecting an external relay hold period presents a problem for the
contact to the chemical hold input terminals in dispenser, then the signal can be programmed
the machine. The electrical arrangement is as for a short time. If the dispenser needs to see

Hold FM7 Hold input
The FM7 does not monitor the chemical hold
function when the machine is not running a
wash program. So hold input state changes will
have no effect if the machine is not running a
wash program.

closed by the dispenser, the washer pauses and No special programming is required for the

water is retained in the cylinder, all water fill
and chemical supply signals are turned off, and
the FM7 displays “HOLD” followed by the
minutes and seconds of the current hold time.
When the chemical hold relay is opened by the
dispenser, the washer will resume normal
operation. Any chemical signal programmed to
be on will turn back on, water fills and flushes
turned on will turn back on and the bath will
proceed as programmed. For example, if a
chemical signal is programmed for 10 seconds
and the hold input turns on after it has counted
down to 9 seconds, then after the hold signal is
turned off, the chemical signal will turn on and
resume the 9 second count down before the
program proceeds. For clarification, below is a
timing chart:
