minimum of
Allowances must be made for opening the
control door.
Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall. However, a
1/16” (1.587 mm) minimum allowance must be made for the
opening and closing of the control door and the lint door. It is
suggested that the dryer be positioned about 2 feet (0.61
meters) away from the nearest obstruction for ease of
installation, maintenance, and service (to be measured from
the back guard). Refer to the illustration below for details.
X = 12-inch (30.48 cm) minimum, 24-inches (60.96 cm) is
suggested for ease of maintenance.
*
1-inch (2.54 cm) maximum for electric dryers.
** 18-inch (45.72 cm) minimum for steam dryers.
FRESHAIR SUPPLYREQUIREMENTS
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration
to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted
source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule,
an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere)
of a minimum of 1 square foot (0.09 square meters) is required
for each dryer. If registers or louvers are installed over the
openings, then the area must be increased. It is not
necessary to have separate make-up air openings for each
dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable.
However, they must be set up in such a manner that the
make-up air is distributed equally to the dryers. The dryer
must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion
and make-up air supply.
IMPORTANT:
Make-up air openings should not be located
!
in an area directly near where exhaust vents
exit the building.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT:
Make-up air must be provided from a source
free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up air
that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent
fumes will result in irreparable damage to the
motors and other dryer components.
!
EXAMPLE: For a bank of eight (8) dryers, two (2)
unrestricted openings measuring 2
feet x 2 feet (0.61 meters x 0.61 meters)
are acceptable.
NOTE:
Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent
fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a
qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will create
excessive back pressure which results in slow drying,
increased use of energy, and shutdown of the burner by the
airflow (sail) switch, burner hi-limit, or lint chamber hi-heat
protector thermostat. The dryer must be installed with a
proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.

ducts for type 2 clothes dryers shall be
constructed of sheet metal or other
noncombustible material. Such ducts shall be
equivalent in strength and corrosion resistance
to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel not less
than 0.0195-inches (26 gauge [0.05 mm]) thick.”
When possible, it is suggested to provide a separate (single)
exhaust duct for each dryer.
CAUTION:
IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED
EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A
POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
!
SINGLE DRYER VENTING
IMPORTANT:
The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that
the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors
with as few turns as possible. The shape of the ductwork is
not critical provided that the minimum cross section area is
maintained. Single or independent dryer venting is
recommended.
For exhaust duct runs over 40 feet (12.19
!
meters) a minimum size of 10-inches (25.4 cm)
must be used.
HORIZONTALVENTING
When horizontal single 8-inch (20.32 cm) venting is used,
the ductwork to the outlet cannot exceed 40 feet (12.19
meters), refer to Illus. A below. This calculation of 40 feet
(12.19 meters) compensates or allows for the use of a
maximum of only one (1) elbow (which is the outside outlet
protection).
It is suggested that the use of 90° turns be avoided; use 30°
or 45° angles instead.
The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections
from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which will
collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should
overlap the duct to which it is connected. ALL ductwork joints
must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping
into the building. Additionally, inspection doors should be
installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for
periodic inspection and cleaning.
Illus. A
IMPORTANT:
When connecting ductwork to the dryer exhaust
duct, be sure that when screws are used they
DO NOT restrict the operation (both opening
!
and closing) of the damper.
NOTE:
When the exhaust ductwork passes through a
wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible
materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08
cm) larger than the duct (all the way around).
The duct must be centered within this opening.
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the
weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be installed
where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels
vertically up through the roof, it should be protected from the
weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward.
In either case, allow at least twice the diameter of the duct
between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (i.e.,
roof or ground level).
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds
the above noted specifications, the cross section area of the
ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of
elbows or duct run added.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the
outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
!
IMPORTANT:
For extended ductwork runs, the cross section
area of the duct can only be increased to an
extent. For extended ductwork runs, a
professional heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be
consulted for proper venting information.
!
Exhaust back pressure measured by a
manometer at the dryer exhaust duct area must
be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3
inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).
It is recommended that exhaust or booster
fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork
system.

113243-1
VERTICAL VENTING
If the length of the duct run or quantity of elbows used exceeds
the above noted specifications, the cross section area of the
ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of
elbows or duct run added.
When vertical single 10-inch (25.4 cm) venting is used (refer
to Illus. B below), the ductwork from the dryer to the outside
outlet cannot exceed 60 feet (18.28 meters), refer to Illus. B
below. This calculation compensates for the use of a
maximum of three (3) elbows including the two (2) elbows
creating the 180° (turned downward) outside outlet.
IMPORTANT:
For extended ductwork runs, the cross section
area of the duct can only be increased to an
extent. For extended ductwork runs, a
professional heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be
consulted for proper venting information.
!
Illus. B
MULTIPLE DRYER (COMMON) VENTING
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each
dryer, ducts for individual dryers may be channeled into a
common main duct. Each dryer is provided with a back draft
damper. The individual ducts should enter the bottom or
side of the main duct at an angle not more than 45° in the
direction of the airflow.
The main common duct may be any shape provided that the
minimum cross-sectional area is maintained. The main duct
should be tapered with the diameter increasing before each
individual 8-inch (20.32 cm) duct is added (refer to Illus. C
below).

Illus. C (refer to the previous page) shows the minimum cross
section area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must
be increased in proportion if the main duct run from the last
dryer to where it exhausts has numerous elbows or is
unusually long.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that exhaust or booster
fans not be used in the exhaust ductwork
system.

The dryer is provided with a 1/2” N.P.T. inlet pipe connection
located at the right side of the base of the dryer. The minimum
pipe size (supply line) to the dryer is 1/2” pipe. For ease in
servicing, the gas supply line of each dryer must have its own
shutoff valve.
IMPORTANT:
Pipe joint compounds that resist the action of
natural gas and L.P. gas must be used.
!
Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on
a soapy water solution (liquid detergent works
well).
The size of the main gas supply line (header) will vary
depending on the distance this line travels from the gas meter
or, in the case of L.P. gas, the supply tank, other gas-operated
appliances on the same line, etc. Specific information
regarding supply line size should be determined by the gas
supplier.
The dryer and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig
(3.5 kPa).
NOTE:
Undersized gas supply piping can create a low
or inconsistent pressure, which will result in
erratic operation of the burner ignition system.
!
WARNING:
NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!!
NOTE:
The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure test of the gas
supply system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
STEAM INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing connections
made by a qualified professional to ensure that the gas
plumbing installation is adequate and conforms with local
and state regulations or codes.
Care must be exercised when leveling steam dryers into
final position. After leveling the dryer, check the downward
pitch of the heat exchanger from front to rear with a level.
Likewise, check the downward pitch of the return condensate
manifold toward its outlet part. Absence of these downward
pitches will result in probable water hammer and premature
heat exchanger fracture and leakage.
The presence of condensate in the steam will cause water
hammer and subsequent heat exchanger failure. The steam
supply connection must be taken from the top of a well-dripped
steam main. If the supply run-out to the dryer exceeds 20 feet
(6.1 meters), it should be dripped just before the control valve
with a proper trap and dirt pocket.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to comply with the requirements
stipulated in this manual can result in component
failure, which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
Consistent gas pressure is essential at ALL gas connections.
It is recommended that a 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) pipe gas loop
be installed in the supply line servicing a bank of dryers. An
in-line pressure regulator must be installed in the gas supply
line (header) if the (natural) gas pressure exceeds 12.0
inches (29.9 mb) of water column (W.C.) pressure. (Refer to
the illustrations above.)
!
NOTE:
The dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic
(piston) damper system, which requires an
external supply of air (80 psi +/- 10 psi [5.51
bar +/- 0.68 bar]).
NOTE:
A water column test pressure of 3.5 inches (8.7
mb) for natural gas and 10.5 inches (26.1 mb)
for liquid propane (L.P.) dryers is required at the
gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper
and safe operation.
!
Steam Coil pH Level
The normal pH level for copper type steam coils must be
maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. For steel type
steam coils the pH level must be maintained between a value
of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set to limit the acid attack of
the steam coils.
A 1/8” N.P.T. plugged tap, accessible for a test gauge
connection, must be installed in the main gas supply line
immediately upstream of each dryer.
113243-1

The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch
(30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and check valve. This
will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.
IMPORTANT:
Coil failure due to improper pH level will VOID
THE WARRANTY.
!
Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates
slightly when it runs and this will cause the steam coil
connections to crack if they are hard piped to the supply and
return mains.
Steam Requirements
2SHUDWLQJꢀ6WHDPꢀ3UHVVXUH
Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply
line, return line, and drip trap return line. This will allow the
dryer to be isolated from the supply main and the return main
if the dryer needs maintenance work.
Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at least
12-inches (30.48 cm) below the steam coil as close to the
coil as possible. A trap with a capacity of 150 lbs (68 kg) of
condensate per hour at 125 psi (8.62 bar) is needed for each
unit.
Shaded areas are stated in metric equivalents
*
The minimum operating pressure is 100 psig (689.47 kPa) for optimum
fresults.
The supply line and the return line should be insulated. This
will save energy and provide for the safety of the operator and
maintenance personnel.
Installation Instructions
To ensure an adequate supply of steam is provided, be sure
that the steam supply lines and steam return lines are sized
and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate steam
supply lines and steam return lines or improper steam
plumbing will result in poor performance and can cause
component failure. Clean, dry steam must be provided to
the dryer.
Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will
provide wet steam to the coil possibly causing steam coil
damage. ALL horizontal runs of steam supply piping should
be pitched 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) for every 1 foot (0.31 meters)
back towards the steam supply header causing the
condensate in the line to drain to the header. Install a bypass
trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.
IMPORTANT:
Steam coil failure due to water hammer by wet
steam will VOID THE WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT:
!
Flexible hoses/couplings must be used. Coil
failure due to hard plumbing connections will
VOID THE WARRANTY.
!
The pressure of the condensate in the steam supply line will
cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger
(steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the
main supply line must be made with a minimum 10-inch
(25.4 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from draining
towards the dryer.

Steam Damper Air System Connections
Air Connection
Air connection to system --- 1/8” N.P.T.
Air Regulation
No air regulator or filtration is provided with the dryer.
The dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper
system, which requires an external supply of compressed
air. The air connection is made to the steam damper solenoid
valve, which is located at the rear inner top area of the dryer
just in front of the electric service relay box.
External regulation/filtration of 80 psi (5.51 bar) must be
provided. It is suggested that a regulator/filter gauge
arrangement be added to the compressed air line just
before the dryer connection. This is necessary to ensure
that correct and clean air pressure is achieved.
Steam Damper System Operation
The steam damper, as shown in the illustration below, allows
the coil to stay constantly charged eliminating repeated
expansion and contraction. When the damper is opened, the
air immediately passes through the already hot coil, providing
instant heat to start the drying process. When the damper is
closed, ambient air is drawn directly into the basket (tumbler),
allowing a rapid cool down.
Diagram 1 shows the damper in the heating (open) mode,
allowing heat into the basket (tumbler).
Diagram 2 shows the damper in the cool down (closed)
mode, pulling ambient air directly into the basket (tumbler)
without passing through the coils.
Air Requirements
There is no air requirement for dryers with the
Electromechanical Steam Damper Option.

Steam Damper Air Piston (Flow Control) Operation
Adjustment
PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP
The following items should be checked before attempting to
operate the dryer:
Damper operation was tested and adjusted prior to shipping
at 80 psi (5.51 bar). If damper air adjustment is necessary,
locate the flow control valve and make the necessary
adjustments as noted below.
• Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and
“DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.
• Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is
the same as indicated on the dryer data label.
• GAS MODELS - check to ensure that the dryer is
connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the
dryer data label.
• GAS AND ELECTRIC MODELS - the sail switch
damper assembly was installed and adjusted at
the factory prior to shipping. However, each sail
switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that
this important safety control is functioning.
• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings
for tightness.
• GAS MODELS - be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves
are in the open position.
• Check ALL back guard panels and service box
covers have been replaced.
• Make sure the lint coop support bracket has been
removed.
• Check the lint door to ensure that it is closed and
secured in place.
IMPORTANT:
If during installation the lint door safety chain
was disconnected, it must be reconnected or
personal injury may result.
!
• Rotate the basket (tumbler/drum) by hand to be
sure it moves freely.
• Check bolts, nuts, screws, terminals, and fittings
for security.
• STEAM MODELS - check to ensure that a clean,
dry, and regulated air supply (80 psi [5.51 bar]) is
on the dryer (with air-operated damper system
only).
• STEAM MODELS - check to ensure ALL steam
shutoff valves are open.
• STEAM MODELS - check steam damper operation.
• Check basket (tumbler) bearing setscrews to
ensure that they are ALL tight.
PREOPERATIONAL TESTS
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving
the factory. However, a preoperational test should be
performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible
that adjustments have changed in transit or due to marginal
location (installation) conditions.
Turn on electrical power to the dryer.
Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular
model dryer.

it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt.
This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air,
so it may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from
the lines.
BASKET (TUMBLER) COATING
The basket (tumbler) is treated with a protective coating.
We suggest dampening old garments or cloth material
with a solution of water and nonflammable mild detergent
and tumbling them in the basket (tumbler) to remove
this coating.
NOTE:
During the purging period, check to be sure that
ALL gas shutoff valves are open.
!
Check the electric service phase sequence (3-phase [3ø]
models only). While the dryer is operating, check to see if the
blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in the proper direction.
Looking from the front, the blower wheel (impellor/fan) should
spin in the clockwise (CW) direction. If it is, the phasing is
correct. If the phasing is incorrect, reverse two (2) of the three
(3) leads at connections L1, L2, and L3 of the power supply
to the dryer.
Gas model dryers are equipped with an ignition
system, which has internal diagnostics. If
ignition is not established after one (1) time,
the heat circuit in the ignition module will attempt
two (2) more ignitions (total of three [3] ignition
attempts). If there is no flame after the third
ignition attempt the module will lock out until it
is manually reset. To reset the ignition system,
open and close the main door and restart the
dryer.
IMPORTANT:
If the blower wheel (impellor/fan) is rotating in
the wrong direction, this will not only drastically
reduce drying efficiency, but it can also cause
premature component failure.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
!
CLEANING
90 DAYS
A program and/or schedule should be established for
periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various
areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the ductwork system.
The frequency of cleaning can best be determined from
experience at each location. Maximum operating efficiency
is dependent upon proper air circulation. The accumulation
of lint can restrict this airflow. If the guidelines in this section
are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient,
trouble free, and most importantly, safe operation.
Inspect and remove lint accumulation in customer furnished
exhaust ductwork system from dryer’s internal exhaust
ducting.
WARNING:
THE ACCUMULATION OF LINT IN THE
EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A
POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
!
WARNING:
LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY
COMBUSTIBLE. THE ACCUMULATION OF
LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE
HAZARD.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF
COMBUSTIONAND VENTILATIONAIR.
!
INSPECT AND REMOVE ANY LINT
ACCUMULATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE
BACK DRAFT DAMPER TO BIND OR STICK.
KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE,
AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS.
NOTE:
A back draft damper that is sticking partially
closed can result in slow drying and shutdown
of heat circuit safety switches or thermostats.
NOTE:
Suggested time intervals shown are for average
usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8)
operational (running) hours per day.
When cleaning the dryer cabinet(s), avoid using
harsh abrasives. A product intended for the
cleaning of appliances is recommended.
IMPORTANT:

For Models with Fenwal Controls DSI Module (128937)
Theory of Operation:
Theory of Operation:
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the
chosen trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor
detects gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to
keep the gas valve open as long as there is a call for heat.
The DSI module will “LOCK OUT” if the gas burner flame is
not sensed at the end of the trial for ignition period. The trial
for ignition period will be repeated for a total of three (3) retries/
trials (the initial try and two [2] more retries/trials). If the flame
is not sensed at the end of the third retry/trial (inter-purge
period of 30-seconds), the DSI module will “LOCK OUT” (a
red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will flash).

MANUAL RESET BURNER
HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS
PHASE 7
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-
limit thermostat, which is monitored by the Phase 7 computer.
If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying
cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and then shut down,
the Phase 7 computer will display “BURNER HIGH LIMIT
FAULT” with an audio indication.
If the burner hi-limit opens during a drying cycle, the Phase 7
computer will also display the same error code described
above, along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature
is above 100° F (38° C), the dryer will continue to run with no
heat for 3 minutes or until the drum temperature has dropped
below 100° F (38° C). The clear/stop button on the Phase 7
keyboard (touch pad) must be pressed to clear the error
condition. The open burner hi-limit must be reset “manually”
prior to the start of the next cycle.
Dual Timer
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-
limit thermostat. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start
of the drying cycle, or during the cycle, the dryer will not
recognize the open state of the burner hi-limit and will start
or continue through the drying cycle with no heat. Manual
reset hi-limit must be reset manually.
This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a
restricted exhaust, poor airflow, or improper burner operation.
The location of the burner hi-limit is on the right side of the
burner box, looking at the burner from the back of the dryer.
WARNING:
Discontinue power to dryer before attempting
to reset hi-limit.

INSTALLATION
SENSOR ACTIVATED
FIRE EXTINGUISHING
(S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM
Requirements
The S.A.F.E. system must be supplied with a minimum water
pipe size of 1/2” and be provided with 40 psi +/- 20 psi (2.75
bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual
bypass, a second source with the same piping and pressure
requirements is required.
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM IN ACTION
Flexible 1/2 feeds must be provided to avoid damage to
electric water solenoid valve by vibration.
IMPORTANT:
Flexible supply line/coupling must be used.
Solenoid valve failure due to hard plumbing
connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.
!
If the rear area of the dryer, or the water supply is located in an
area where it will be exposed to cold/freezing temperatures,
provisions must be made to protect these water lines from
freezing.
WARNING:
If the water in the supply line or water solenoid
valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be
INOPERATIVE!!
!
IMPORTANT:
Appliance is to be connected to the water mains
using a new hose-set and the old hose-sets
should not be reused.
The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.)
System will extinguish fires that may start in the drying basket
(tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the
basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the microprocessor will
trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish
the flames. The water jet(s) remain on for 2 minutes and will
automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or
reignites. While the water jet(s) are activated, the basket
(tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The
microprocessor will display that the system was activated
and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.
Water Connections:
The water connection is made to the 3/4”-11.5 NH hose
adapter of the electric water solenoid valve, located at the
rear upper midsection of the dryer (refer to the photo).
The water solenoid valve has a 3/8” M.P.T. connection supplied
with a 3/4”-11.5 NH hose adapter to provide the minimum 1/
2-inch supply (feed) line. Flexible supply line/coupling must
be used in an effort to avoid damaging the electric water
solenoid valve.
We have tried to make this manual as complete as possible
and hope you will find it useful. ADC reserves the right to
make changes from time to time, without notice or obligation,
in prices, specifications, colors, and material, and to change
or discontinue models.

authority for information regarding local codes.
IMPORTANT:
It is your responsibility to have ALL plumbing
connections made by a qualified professional
to assure that the plumbing installation is
adequate and conforms to local, state, and
federal regulations or codes.
!
NOTE:
It is the installation or owners responsibility to
see that the necessary or required water, water
pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided.
Manufacturer assumes no responsibility if the
S.A.F.E. system is not connected, installed,
or maintained properly.
The 3/4”-11.5 NH is a standard hose coupling
screw thread. It is not to be confused with

COIN – To reset the microprocessor once the control displays
“S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED,” press and hold the red
“PAUSE” key for 3-seconds on the keyboard (touch pad).
WARNING:
If the water in the supply line or water solenoid
valve freezes, the S.A.F.E. system will be
INOPERATIVE!!
!
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM WATER VALVE CHECK
The manual ball cock shutoff valve must be located outside
of the dryer at a distance from the dryer where it is easily
accessible.
The operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested to
ensure that the water supply system and valve are functional.
Before attempting a system check, be sure that ALL water
supply shutoff valves to the dryer are in the OPEN position;
the dryer must be in the “READY” mode with no cycle loaded
or in progress.
Electrical Requirements
No independent external power source or supply connection
is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the S.A.F.E. system
is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer
controls).
NON-COIN
• Press and hold the red “STOP/CLEAR” key (while
WARNING:
in “READY” mode and no cycle is in progress).
Electrical power must be provided to the dryer
!
at ALL times. If the main electrical power supply
to the dryer is disconnected, the S.A.F.E.
system is INOPERATIVE!!
• Press and hold the “A” key.
• Water valve will open and water will be dispensed
into basket (tumbler) area as long as both keys
are held.
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM THEORY OF OPERATION
The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)
will prompt the user to perform a S.A.F.E. system valve check
at every 4000 hours to ensure proper functionality. At the
4000 hour mark, the control will wait for end of the cycle and
then will prompt the user to “PLEASE EMPTY TUMBLER,
While the dryer is in an idle state, or 20-seconds after the
heat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the thermistor
probe, located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber,
and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum
recorded thermistor probe temperature is greater than 120°
F (48° C) and the control detects a 50° rise in temperature,
this will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will
activate.
THEN
PRESS
THE
‘STOP/CLEAR’AND ‘A’ KEYS TO TEST THE WATER VALVE.”
When the ‘STOP/CLEAR’ and ‘A’ keys are pressed, the control
will activate the S.A.F.E. system water valve for 2-seconds, at
which point the control will prompt the user with the following
message: “IF WATER DID NOT TURN ON, CALL FOR
SERVICE. THANK YOU.”
While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on
at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhaust
temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set
point is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the control detects
an exhaust temperature rise 25° F greater than set point, this
will be the trip point and the S.A.F.E. system routine will
activate. If set point is below 160° F (71° C), the trip point will
be 185° F (85° C).
NOTE:
The control will not let the user continue until
the valve test has been completed.
!
COIN
While the control is in the program mode, Press and hold the
PAUSE key for 3-seconds to get into the valve test mode.
Valve test mode: The control will display “PRESS AND HOLD
MEDIUM TO OPEN WATER VALVE”. When the medium key is
pressed, the control will activate the water output
Once the S.A.F.E. system routine is activated, the control will
display “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM ACTIVATED” and water will be
injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Any time water is
being injected into the basket (tumbler), the basket (tumbler)
drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This
process will continue for a minimum of 2 minutes. After the 2
minutes have elapsed, the control will check if the temperature
remained above trip point; if so, the water will remain on. The
control will continue to check if the temperature is above trip
point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on for a constant
10 minutes, the water will be turned off, regardless of the
temperature, and the control will display “S.A.F.E. SYSTEM
WAS ACTIVATED.” If the temperature has dropped below trip
point, the control will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.
S.A.F.E. SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS
NON-COIN – In the event that the Phase 7 non-coin
microprocessor controller (computer) detects a fault in the
