This controller introduced in 1996 is now being superceded by the new LC103 PLC based controller.

We intend to support the many hundreds of LC102 controllers installed to the best of our ability but some components have become impossible to source or replace.

Most major components are still available ex stock. Contact us to check availability and prices.

The main features of the LC102 are as follows :

The Washtech LC102 Microprocessor which is a self contained autonomous unit designed to retrofit to new and existing washers extractors, consists of two separately located interconnected units.

The Control box is usually mounted in the existing machine electrical cabinet.

The operator display and key board unit is normally mounted in a convenient position on the front of the washer Every endeavor should be made to protect this unit as it is impossible to replace the whole unit. Repair of the face of the indicator case is possible. The front membrane and keypad can be replaced.
