The inlet pipingenters through the rear of the dryer on the left-hand side(viewing from the front) and runs to the front of the dryerwhere the gas valve is located.

Reversing Relay PanelLifting the control door will reveal the reversing relay box.Located on the back of the relay box is the reversing relaypanel. Included on this panel is a 4-position terminal block,blower overload, blower contactor, reversing contactor, 24VAC transformer, fuse or circuit breaker, ground lug, andpossibly an arc suppressor board.

Blower Motor and Impellor (Gas and Steam)The impellor is shaft driven. The blower motor drives theshaft on which the impellor is mounted.

Drive MotorThe T.E.F.C. drive motor is located in the right front handcorner of the dryer. It sits on an adjustable base so that themotor can be easily adjusted to the left or right.

NOTE: With the dryer off or no air supply to the damperpiston, the damper is in the cool down mode.

Steam Coil pH LevelNOTE: The normal pH level for copper type steam coilsmust be maintained between a value of 8.5 to 9.5. Forsteel type steam coils the pH level must be maintainedbetween a value of 9.5 to 10.5. These limits are set tolimit the acid attack of the steam coils.

IMPORTANT: Coil failure due to improper pH level willvoid the warranty.

Steam Coil and Damper SystemThe steam coil is constantly charged, thereby eliminatingrepeated expansion and contraction and also provide instantheating to start the drying process. The steam damper,located on top of the steam coil, is the only temperaturecontrolling device in this system. When the steam damperis open, ambient air is drawn through the coil providingheat to the dryer. When the steam damper is closed, ambientair is drawn directly into the tumbler, bypassing the coil,allowing a rapid cool down.

Phase 7 OPL System Diagnostics ___IMPORTANT: You must disconnect and lockout theelectric supply and the gas supply or the steam supplybefore any covers or guards are removed from themachine to allow access for cleaning, adjusting, installation,or testing of any equipment per OSHA standards.

All major circuits, including door, microprocessortemperature sensor, heat and motor circuits are monitored.The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) willinform the user, via the L.E.D. display of certain failuremessages, along with L.E.D. indicators on the Input/Outputboard on the back panel of the front right control door.

Diagnostic (L.E.D. Display) Fault MessagesBURNER CONTROL FAULT � This routine monitors the gasreturn valve signal and compares it with the DSI purge timesetting. If the gas return valve signal does not turn on beforethe DSI purge time expires, or if it turns on for less than 200ms, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) will turn off the heat output, increase a counter,and wait the interpurge time before reattempting to ignitethe burner. Once this fault condition occurs five (5)consecutive times, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will interrupt the cycle and will display�BURNER CONTROL FAULT� and will go into a Fault Modewith a brief audio indication. If the tumbler temperature isabove 100° F (38° C) at the time of the failure, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will continueto display �BURNER CONTROL FAULT�, while the dryer coolsby running with no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperaturedrops below 100° F (38° C). If the tumbler temperature isbelow 100° F (38° C), or the 3 minutes expire, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will shut offall outputs and will remain in Fault Mode until the dryer isaddressed.

450457-1 www.adclaundry.com 21

BURNER HIGH-LIMIT FAULT � This routine monitors theburner high-limit switch. If the switch opens during the cyclewhile the heat is on, the dryer will display �Burner High-Limit Fault� and will go into Fault Mode with a brief audioindication. The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) will check the tumbler temperature. If the exhaustprobe temperature is above 100° F (38° C), the dryer willcontinue to display �Burner High Limit Fault�, while the dryercools by running with no heat for 3 minutes or until thetemperature drops below 100° F (38° C). Once the exhaustprobe temperature is below 100° F (38° C), or the 3 minutesexpire, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) will shut off all outputs and will remain in FaultMode until the dryer is addressed.

CHECK CONTROL BOARD FUSE #2 � This routine identifiesthe opening of the main fuse (fuse 2) on the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) board. If the fusehas opened, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will not allow a cycle to begin and willdisplay a �Check Control Board Fuse #2� condition. If thefuse has opened after the cycle has begun, it will still triggerthe check main fuse fault. The dryer will shut off all outputsand will go into Fault Mode with a brief audio indication.

CLEAN LINT � This routine monitors the opening of the lintdrawer switch and compares the time between openings tothe Lint Cleaning Frequency Setting. This routine will firstprompt the user to clean lint before locking out the dryer.Once the time between cleanings is equal to the LintCleaning Frequency Setting, the display will prompt the userto clean lint. The Lint Cleaning Frequency limits the amountof time the dryer will run before the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) locks the dryer outfor further use. If the lint drawer is not cleaned within 2hours of run time, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will be locked out.

EXHAUST HIGH-LIMIT FAULT � This routine monitors thetumbler safety over temperature switch. If the switch opens,the dryer will display �Exhaust High-Limit Fault� and will gointo Fault Mode with a brief audio indication. If the tumblertemperature is above 100° F (38° C) the dryer will continueto display �Exhaust High-Limit Fault�, while the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) cools byrunning with no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperaturedrops below 100° F (38° C). Once the tumbler temperatureis below 100° F (38° C), or the 3 minutes expire, the Phase7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will shutoff all outputs and will remain in Fault Mode until the dryer isaddressed.

EXHAUST PROBE FAULT � This routine indicates a problemwith the temperature sensor circuit. This error will triggeran �Exhaust Probe Fault� condition and will go into a FaultMode with a brief audio indication. The dryer will run with noheat for 3 minutes. Once the 3 minutes expire, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will shut offall outputs and will remain in Fault Mode until the dryer isaddressed.

IGNITION FAULT � After the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) receives a gas valve return for morethan 200 ms signal within the DSI purge time, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will begin aDSI proof time. The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will continue to recheck the gas valvereturn signal. If the signal is lost during the DSI proof time,the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)will turn off the heat output and determine what the retrycount is set at. If the retry count is greater than zero, thePhase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) willwait through the interpurge time and attempt to reignite theflame. If the failure condition occurs again, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will retry untilthe retry count has been satisfied. Once the retry count hasbeen satisfied, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will interrupt the cycle and display�Ignition Fault� condition and go into a Fault Mode with abrief audio indication. If the tumbler temperature is above100° F (38° C), the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will continue to display �Ignition Fault�,while the dryer cools by running with no heat for 3 minutesor until the temperature drops below 100° F (38° C). Oncethe tumbler temperature is below 100° F (38° C), or the 3minutes expire, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will shut off all outputs and will remainin Fault Mode until the dryer is addressed.

FLAME FAULT � After the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) has verified that the gas valve signalwas present throughout the DSI purge time and the DSIproof time, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) will continue to monitor the gas valve returnsignal. In the event that the gas valve return signal is lostanytime after the DSI proof time, the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) will turn off the heatoutput and increase a counter. Once this fault conditionoccurs five (5) consecutive times, the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) will interrupt the cycle,display �Flame Fault� condition, and go into a Fault Modewith a brief audio indication. If the tumbler temperature isabove 100° F (38° C), the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will continue to display �Flame Fault�,while the dryer cools by running with no heat for 3 minutesor until the temperature drops below 100° F (38° C). Oncethe tumbler temperature is below 100° F (38° C), or the 3minutes expire, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will shut off all outputs and will remainin Fault Mode until the dryer is addressed.

BURNER PURGE FAULT � If the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) detects the presenceof the gas return signal before sending the heat signal out,the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)will trigger a �Burner Purge Fault� condition and will go intoFault Mode with a brief audio indication. The dryer will runwith no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperature dropsbelow 100° F (38° C). Once the tumbler temperature isbelow 100° F (38° C), or the 3 minutes expire, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will shut offall outputs and will remain in Fault Mode until the dryer isaddressed.

EXHAUST HIGH TEMP FAULT � This error routine indicatesa problem with overheating. This error will initiate an�Exhaust High Temp Fault� condition and will go into FaultMode with a brief audio indication. The Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) determines this errorby monitoring the temperature sensor input to have a steadygradual increase in temperature to a known upper limit(the limit typically is 20° over the maximum allowedprogrammable set point). The dryer will run with no heat for3 minutes or until the temperature drops below 100° F (38°C). Once the tumbler temperature is below 100° F (38° C),or 3 minutes expire, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will shut off all outputs and remain inFault Mode until the dryer is addressed.

LINT ACCESS OPEN � Indicates the lint drawer is open andneeds to be closed.

MAIN DOOR OPENED � Indicates the main door is openwhen it should be closed.

MODEL ERROR, ENTER CORRECT MODEL � This routinemonitors the inputs, such as the sail switch and gas valve.Steam dryers do not use a sail switch or valve input, and anelectric dryer will not use a gas valve input. These signalsallow the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) to interpret what type of dryer it is controlling.The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)determines what the expected dryer responses should befor that specific heat type dryer. Anytime a model fault isdetected, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) will interrupt the cycle and will display �ModelError, Enter Correct Model�� and go into Fault Mode with abrief audio indication. If the tumbler temperature is above100° F (38° C) at the time of the failure, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will continue todisplay �Model Error, Enter Correct Model�� while the dryercools by running with no heat for 3 minutes or until thetemperature drops below 100° F (38° C). Once the tumblertemperature is below 100° F (38° C), or the 3 minutes expire,the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)will shut off all outputs and will remain in Fault Mode untilthe dryer is addressed.

NOTE: If a model error occurs, the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) will always default tothe �gas� type for safety reasons. Also, the dryer will bestopped and forced into a restart condition to reevaluateall the expected responses.

ROTATION SENSOR FAULT � This routine monitors thepulses from the rotational sensor input. It basically timesthe dwell between signals. If the time between the pulsesexceeds 10-seconds, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will trigger a �Rotation Sensor Fault�condition and will go into Fault Mode with a brief audioindication. Depending on the model type, the dryer will runthe fan with no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperaturedrops below 100° F (38° C) for GAS REVERSING, ELECTRICREVERSING and STEAM REVERSING models. Once thetumbler temperature is below 100° F (38° C), or the 3minutes expire, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessorcontroller (computer) will shut off all outputs and remain inFault Mode until the dryer is addressed. If the dryer modelis a GAS NON-REVERSING, ELECTRIC NON-REVERSINGor STEAM NON-REVERSING model, the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) will immediately shutoff all outputs, regardless of the tumbler temperature, andremain in Fault Mode until the dryer is addressed.

SAIL SWITCH CLOSED FAULT � This routine prevents thestart-up of the dryer unless the sail switch is in the openposition. If the sail switch is in the closed position prior tostarting, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller(computer) will display �PLEASE WAIT START UP INPROCESS� and will allow the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) 10-seconds for thesail switch to open before faulting out on a �Sail SwitchClosed Fault�. Once the dryer faults out on the �Sail SwitchClosed Fault�, the dryer will not be allowed to start. Thisroutine is also monitored at every start-up, including a start-up after being in Pause Mode. If the sail switch is in theclosed position prior to starting from a Pause Mode, thePhase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) willdisplay, �PLEASE WAIT RESTART IN PROCESS� and allowthe Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)10-seconds for the sail switch to open before faulting outon a �Sail Switch Closed Fault�. Again, once the dryer faultsout on the �Sail Switch Closed Fault�, the dryer will not beallowed to start. Anytime the fault occurs, there will be anaudio indication and start/restart will be prevented.

SAIL SWITCH OPEN FAULT � If the sail switch does notclose within 8-seconds of starting or restarting a cycle, thePhase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) willdisplay �Sail Switch Open Fault� condition. Or, if the sailswitch opens during a cycle, the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) will immediately shutoff the heat output and monitor how long the sail switch isopen for. If the sail switch is open for more than 30-seconds,the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer)will display �Sail Switch Open Fault� condition and go intoFault Mode with a brief audio indication. If the tumblertemperature is above 100° F (38° C), the Phase 7 non-coinmicroprocessor controller (computer) will continue to display�Open Sail Switch Fault� while the dryer cools by runningwith no heat for 3 minutes or until the temperature dropsbelow 100° F (38° C). Once the tumbler temperature isbelow 100° F (38° C), or the 3 minutes expire, the Phase 7non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) will shut offall outputs and remain in Fault Mode until the dryer isaddressed.

F.S.S. System Theory Of OperationWhile the dryer is in an idle state or 20-seconds after theheat turns off, the Phase 7 control monitors the F.S.S. systemprobe located in the top of the tumbler chamber and recordsthe minimum temperature. If the minimum recorded F.S.S.system probe temperature is no less than 120° F (48° C)and the control detects a 50° rise in temperature, this willbe the trip point and the F.S.S. system routine will activate.

While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turnedon at least once, the Phase 7 control monitors the exhausttemperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature setpoint is set greater than 160° F (71° C) and the control detectsan exhaust temperature rise 25° F greater than set point,this will be the trip point and the F.S.S. system routine willactivate. If set point is below 160° F (71° C) the trip point willbe 185° F (85° C).

Once the F.S.S. system routine is activated, water will beinjected into the tumbler chamber. Anytime water is beinginjected into the tumbler; the tumbler drive will turn the loadfor 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continuefor a minimum of 2 minutes. After 2 minutes has elapsed,the control will check if the temperature remained above trippoint, if so water will remain on. The control will continue tocheck if temperature is above trip point every 30-seconds. Ifthe water has been on for a constant 10 minutes, the waterwill be turned off regardless of the temperature. If thetemperature has dropped below trip point, the control willturn off the water prior to 10 minutes.

System ResetAfter the microprocessor determines that the situation isunder control and shuts the water being injected into thetumbler off, the microprocessor display will read �F.S.S.System activated�, and the horn/tone will sound until resetmanually.

To reset the microprocessor once the control displays �F.S.S.System activated�, press the red key on the keypad.

Non-Coin F.S.S. System Check ProcedureThe operation of the water solenoid valve can be tested toensure that the water supply system and valve are functional.Before attempting system check, be sure that all water supplyshutoff valves to the dryer are in the OPEN position, and thedryer must be in the �READY� mode where no cycle is loadedor in progress.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Press and hold the RED STOP key (while in �READY�mode and no cycle in progress).

2. Press and hold the �A� key.

3. Water valve will open and water will be dispensed intotumbler area as long as both keys are held.

IMPORTANT: This is a test function only and the keysshould be held and system activated for only a second orso, otherwise water will accumulate in various places inthe dryer.

Static PressureThe pressure of the air in sheet metal ducts is of greatimportance for safe and efficient operation of the dryer. Theair pressures, as small as they are, have a large influenceupon the performance of the dryer. There are three (3)pressures present within a duct. The velocity pressure,which is the pressure due to the moving stream of air, thestatic pressure, which is the outward push of the air againstthe walls of the duct, and the total pressure, which is thesum of the static and velocity pressures. Only the total andstatic pressures can be measured. The velocity pressureis then calculated from the difference between the two. Thestatic pressure is the most influential and determining factorin the design of a dryer duct system. ADC recommends thatthe dryer exhaust duct static pressure not exceed 0.3 in WC(0.74 mb).

Gages used to measure such small air pressures utilizethe elevation of a column of water. This form of gage iscalled a manometer. One form of this gage is known as aU-tube and is shown in Illustration #1. When one end ofthe tube is connected to the duct, the static (outward)pressure within the duct forces the water column to bedepressed in one leg of the U-tube and up in the other. Theelevation of the water column in Illustration #1 is 3.2 inches(8 mb).

Illus. #1

Using a MagnehelicWhen measuring such small air pressures, the U-tube isoften not accurate enough. Such small differences inpressure are most often measured by an inclined tubemanometer or a Magnehelic pressure gage as shown inIllustration #2.

Illus. #2

For convenience and accuracy, an instrument known as aPitot tube is used with the gage. The Pitot tube, as shown inIllustration #3, consists of two tubes � one within the other.The inner tube measures the total pressure alone, whilethe outer tube measures the static pressure alone.

Illus. #3

To obtain the most accurate static pressure readings of adryer, the following guidelines should be conformed to. Thereading should be taken in a straight section of duct, aminimum of ten (10) times the diameter of the duct (i.e.10-inches [25.4 cm] diameter duct, a straight section100-inches [254 cm] in length). The reading should betaken a minimum of 8-1/2 times the diameter upstream ofthe dryer or nearest elbow, and 1-1/2 times the diameterdownstream of the Pitot tube. The following is an exampleshowing the proper location to take a static pressure reading.

In designing a dryer exhaust duct system, it is not necessaryto compute the friction loss of the ductwork. The frictionloss (static pressure) is predetermined to not exceed 0.7 inWC (1.7 mb). This maximum allowable static pressure isthe same for all model dryers and is calculated to providemaximum dryer efficiency. It is necessary to determine thetotal equivalent length of the duct system. The totalequivalent length of the duct system is the actual length ofthe duct added to the equivalent length of all the fittings.The equivalent length of a fitting, is the length of straightduct of the same size as the fitting in which the friction lossesare equal. Equivalent lengths must be determined for allelbows, as well as, any entries which may be incorporatedinto a common duct system for multiple dryers. The totalequivalent length is then used with the total cfm exhaustrating of the dryer(s) to calculate the minimum round ductdiameter. When designing a single common duct systemfor multiple dryers, each individual dryer exhaust duct entersthe main common duct.
