The control procedure for unbalanced loads is performed dynamically, before each spin cycle, as follows:
ª
The phase begins at a speed of 55 rpm; the speed can never fall below this threshold, otherwise the check
is repeated.
ª
At intervals of 300 ms, the balance is calculated and compared with pre-determined limits; if the value is less
than the minimum limit, the speed of the drum is increased by a certain value depending on the
transmission ratio between motor pulley/drum; if the unbalancing is higher, it is decreased by the same
value. The reduction in the speed of the drum distributes the laundry correctly; this procedure is repeated
until the wash load is completely balanced.
ª
Correct balancing of the wash load is achieved at a speed of 115 rpm, after which the spin cycle begins.
The Unbalancing Control function takes place in different phases: each phase is characterised by:
ª
an unbalancing index (0-1-2-3)
ª
an unbalancing threshold value (e.g.: 850, 350, 650, 1100 rpm)
ª
a time out (max. time)
•
Ending of the FUCS balancing phase
The phase is ended when:
ª
The drum rotation speed is 115 rpm (or 85rpm in some cases of unbalancing index). In this case the spin is
performed.
ª
In some cases the optimal balancing value is not reached: a reduced spin is performed depending on the
unbalancing.
ª
In the worst case scenario, in which all phases are not sufficient to reach a minimum balancing value, the
spin is not performed.
