INTRODUCTION
PHASE 5 “ON-PREMISE LAUNDRY” (OPL) MICROPROCESSOR DRYING SYSTEM
The American Dryer Corporation’ s Phase 5 “On-Premise Laundry” (OPL) Drying System has been designed
with super performance in mind to provide for better temperature regulation, efficiency , performance, consistency ,
and faster drying times.
Specifically, ADC’s Phase 5 OPL System’s higher performance emanates from the following enhancements:
1. The ability to better control the temperature inside the basket (tumbler) throughout the various cycles.
2. The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) responds immediately to any temperature variations
from temperature selection, which enables the control temperature band to be +/- 3º F (2º C) from this
selected drying temperature. The narrower temperature control band greatly increases system efficiency,
since it takes less heat to maintain a given temperature than to rise to a given temperature.
Among its many amenities, ADC’s Phase 5 OPL Drying System has a true Automatic Drying Cycle. The Phase
5 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) principle is based on one (1) of the most fundamental laws
of thermodynamics which governs the flow of heat in thermal systems.
Utilizing this microprocessor technology , the user simply has to place the load in the dryer and push one (1) single
button to start drying cycle. The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will directly monitor the
moisture content in the load and stop the drying cycle automatically when the selected percentage of extraction
(dryness level) is reached.
The ADC Phase 5 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) virtually eliminates ALL guess work. The
Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying time is needed and compensates
for various types of fabrics and load sizes, thus, avoiding damage to fabrics by over drying, as well as avoiding
wasted time and energy for any given load. Once the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) determines
the load is dry, the microprocessor controller (computer) will go into Cool Down Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) until
the preprogrammed time or temperature is reached, and then shuts the dryer off automatically.

SECTION II
FEATURES
A. DEPENDABLE MICROPROCESSOR SOLID STATE INTEGRATED CIRCUITRY - to eliminate as many moving parts as
possible.
B. P
ROGRAM CHANGES ARE EASILY MADE AT THE KEYBOARD - actual programs are viewed at the L.E.D. (light
emitting diode) display for verification.
C. AUTOMATIC DRYING CYCLE (Patent No. 4,827,627) -computerized monitoring of load dryness for precise, fast,
and efficient drying.
IMED (MANUAL) DRYING CYCLE -for special loads, programming allows for a specific amount of time in
D. T
minutes for both drying and cool down cycles.
E. P
REPROGRAMMED CYCLES -the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can store in its memory
six (6) preprogrammed cycles in either the Automatic Drying Mode (Patent No.
4,827,627) or Manual Drying Mode.
F. MANUALLY LOADED CYCLES - for occasional or one (1) time special loads, the user can set a specific program
in either the Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) or Timed Mode.
G. VARIABLE (PROGRAMMABLE) FABRIC/TEMPERATURE SELECTIONS - accommodates the type of fabric to be dried.
H. CONTROLLED COOL DOWN PROGRAM - helps eliminate wrinkled loads.
I. L.E.D. (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) DISPLAY - informs user of cycle status, programs, and displays important
diagnostic and fault codes.
J. A
NTI-WRINKLE PROGRAM - helps keep items wrinkle-free when they are not removed from the dryer promptly
at the end of the drying and cooling cycles.
K. D
IAGNOSTICS - major circuits, including the door switch, microprocessor temperature sensor, motor, and heat
output circuits are monitored.
L. A
UDIBLE TONE SIGNAL - a tone will sound for each keyboard (touchpad) entry. Additionally, the tone will
sound at the end of the drying and cooling cycles to indicate the cycle is complete.
M. T
EMPERATURE CONVERSION STATUS - temperature-related programs can be set in either Fahrenheit (ºF) or
Celsius (ºC). ALL temperatures will automatically convert to the
corresponding values (+/- 1º) when changes are made.
N. H
I-TEMPERATURE PROTECTION - if the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) senses that the
temperature in the basket (tumbler) has reached 221º F (105º C), it will shut
the dryer down completely, and a default code will appear in the L.E.D.
(light emitting diode) display indicating an overheating problem.
O. C
YCLE PREVIEW - entire dryer parameters (programs) or the preprogrammed cycles are displayed for
verification upon a coded entry to the keyboard (touchpad).
5
P. REVERSING OPTION - helps eliminate wrinkling due to the balling up or tangling of large items. Certain models
have the reversing option where the basket (tumbler) will turn in the forward direction
for two (2) minutes, stop for 5-seconds, and then proceed in the reverse direction
for two (2) minutes. This process is repeated throughout the drying and cooling cycles.
Q. ROTATION SENSOR SELECTION - this feature allows the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) to
monitor the rotation of the basket (tumbler). If the basket (tumbler) should
fail to rotate, the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will
disable ALL outputs, stopping the dryer and a failure code will be displayed
on the L.E.D (light emitting diode).
R. SPECIAL COOL DOWN PROGRAM (Patent No. 4,827,627) - this feature resides in preprogrammed Cycle “F ,” and
allows the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller
(computer) to limit the cooling process to 10º F (5º C)
per minute, and can be used for fabrics that need a
controlled Cool Down Cycle (i.e., VISA®).
S. BATTERY BACK-UP (OPTIONAL) - this option allows the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
to maintain its operating status should a momentary power interruption occur
while the dryer cycle is in progress.
6
SECTION III
PROGRAM SELECTIONS
A. PREPROGRAMMED CYCLES
The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can store in its memory six (6) preprogrammed cycles
(keys “A” through “F” on the keyboard [touchpad]). This allows the user to have the six (6) most commonly
used cycles, requiring only the push of a single keyboard (touchpad) entry to start the dryer .
These preprogrammed cycles can be set in either the Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627)
where the drying cycle will end when the percentage of extraction (dryness level) programmed has been reached
or in the Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle (Mode) where the dryer will operate for the specific drying time
programmed. These cycles can be programmed in any combination.
Once the drying cycle is completed, the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) then goes into the
Cool Down Cycle where the articles are tumbled in room temperature air. Once the programmed Cool Down
Cycle is completed, the dryer will shut off automatically .
With the Anti-W rinkle Program active, when the Cooling Cycle is completed and the dryer is shut off, if the main
door is not opened, the load will be tumbled without heat (i.e., for 20-seconds every 90-seconds). This process is
repeated until either the main door is opened or ten (10) minutes has elapsed, whichever comes first.
PREPROGRAMMED CYCLE SELECTIONS:
1. Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode - (Patent No. 4,827,627)

one-second increments.
h. For optional reversing models, the Dwell (Stop) Time can be programmed from 5-seconds to
10-seconds in one-second increments.
ALL six (6) preprogrammed cycles have been programmed by the factory as outlined on page 54 and
page 55. However, even though these are the most common cycles used, they should be reviewed to
ensure they meet the location application or needs. Should changes be found necessary, refer to the
Programming Section of this manual.
B. MANUALLY LOADED CYCLES
For occasional or one-time special loads, the operator must set the specific programs needed. This cycle is not
stored within the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) and must be entered each and every time.
The Manually Loaded Cycle can be set in either the Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627) or
the Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle (Mode).
MANUALL Y LOADED CYCLE SELECTIONS:
1. Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627)
a. Drying Temperature - programmable from 160º F to 200º F (71º C to 93º C) in one-degree increments.
b. Dryness Level (percentage of extraction) - programmable from 90% less dry to 100% more dry in one
percent (1%) increments.
c. For optional reversing models, depending on what the system parameter (program) is set for, the
operator has the choice of reverse or no reverse (single direction rotation).
2. Manually Drying Cycle (Mode)
a. Drying Time - programmable from 0 to 99 minutes in 1 minute increments.
b. Cool Down Time - programmable from 0 to 99 minutes in 1 minute increments.

8
C. AUTOMATIC DRYING CYCLE/MODE (Patent No. 4,827,627)
In this mode, the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying time is needed
and compensates for various types of fabric and load sizes, ALL automatically. The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor
controller (computer) accomplishes this by calculating the dryness level (percentage of extraction) using the
temperature selected, as well as, the “A” and “B“ factors preset by the factory.
The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) monitors the first three (3) heat peaks (slopes), at which
time it calculates the “A” Slope and “B” (heat loss) factors along with the percentage of extraction selected.
When the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines that ALL the factors are met, the
drying cycle will end, and the dryer will go into the Cool Down Cycle.
AUTOMATIC DRYING CYCLE/MODE (PATENT NO. 4,827,627) SELECTIONS:
1. Drying Temperature - programmable from 160º F to 200º F (71º C to 93º C) in one-degree increments.

it takes to get to the selected temperature.
1) Program selections are 1 through 9 in increments of one (1).
b. Factor “B” Heat Loss (offset) Program - this factor setting is dependent upon the model dryer and the
type of heating unit.
1) Program selections are 1 through 99 in increments of one (1).
The “A” and ‘B” Factors have been preprogrammed by the factory as outlined on page 54 and page 55 and
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED unless the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) should fail and
is being replaced. The replacement Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) MUST BE
PROGRAMMED for the particular dryer model and heating unit as shown in the “A” and “B” Factor table on
page 59 and page 60 of this manual.
6. For Optional Reversing Models - the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can be
programmed to reverse or not reverse (single direction rotation).
7. When used in conjunction with the Preprogrammed Cycles, programming allows the Anti-W rinkle Program
to be active or non-active.
9

b. Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle (Mode)*
*NOTE: The Cool Down Cycle will run either until the Cool Down Temperature is reached or until the
Cool Down Time has expired, whichever comes first.
G. L.E.D. (LIGHT EMITTING DIODE) DISPLAY
The L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display informs the user of cycle status, program verification, and displays
important diagnostic and fault codes. A complete listing of the various display codes and their meanings are
shown on page 26 and page 27 of this manual.
DISPLA Y SELECTIONS:
1. Display Status
a. While the dryer cycle is in progress, programming allows the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display to read
only the Cycle In Progress or only the Basket (tumbler) T emperature. Programming also allows a flash
display whereby the L.E.D. display will flash back and forth between Cycle In Progress and T emperature.
1) Both the Cycle In Progress and Temperature can be programmed to flash from 1-second to
15-seconds in one-second increments.
2. Cycle in Progress Display Status
a. Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627) - the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display
reads Percentage of Extraction in the cycle
in progress and then Cool Down.
b. Timed (Manual) Cycle (Mode) - the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display reads Drying Time and/or
Cool Down T ime counting downwards as time elapses.
3. Indicator Dots on the L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode) Display
a. The indicator dots are an indicator as to the various Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
output functions. Additionally , there are also indicators on the back side of the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor
controller (computer) to verify the outputs of the relay.
11
1) Drive Motor (blower motor on reversing models).
2) Heat On (active).
3) Reversing models have indicators for the forward (clockwise [CW]) basket (tumbler) rotation and
reverse (counterclockwise [CCW]) basket (tumbler) rotation.
H. CYCLE IN PROGRESS TEMPERATURE DISPLAY
While the dryer cycle is in progress, the temperature in the basket (tumbler) can be displayed by pressing the
“ENTER/ST AR T” key . The temperature
how the temperature conversion status program is set.
will be displayed in either Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC), depending on
I. TEMPERATURE CONVERSION STATUS
T emperature related programs are programmable to be operated in either Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC). Programs
affected are:
1. T emperature Display Mode
2. Temperature Selections (drying temperatures)
3. Cool Down Temperatures
IMPORTANT: When changing the temperature conversion status from Fahrenheit or Celsius or vice
versa, ALL the T emperature Selections and Cool Down Temperatures will be
changed accordingly . The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
automatically calculates and converts the temperatures in these programs to the
previously set value. For example, when changing from º F to º C, if the preprogrammed Cycle “A” drying temperature was set for 160º F (71º C), the Phase 5
OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will change to 160º F (71º C) +/- one (1)
degree Celsius.
J. ANTI-WRINKLE PROGRAM
This program keeps items wrinkle-free when they are not removed from the dryer promptly at the end of the
drying cycle and/or cooling cycle.
When this program is active (on) and the drying cycle and cooling cycle is completed, the dryer will shut off, the
tone will sound, and the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read “dONE.” If the door is not opened, the
Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will wait until the Anti-Wrinkle Guard Delay Time “GdLY”
has expired at which time the basket (tumbler) will rotate (without heat) for the programmed Guard On Time
“G on-tInE.” The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process until the Maximum
Guard T ime “MGrd” has expired or until the door is opened, whichever comes first.
12
ANTI-WRINKLE PROGRAM SELECTIONS:
1. Anti-Wrinkle Guard Active or No Anti-Wrinkle Guard
2. Guard Delay T ime
a. Programmable from 10-seconds to 255-seconds in one-second increments.

4. Maximum Guard Time
a. Programmable from 1 minute to 99 minutes in 1 minute increments.
K. AUDIBLE TONE SIGNAL
A tone will sound for each keyboard (touchpad) entry made. The tone will also sound at the end of the drying
cycle and cooling cycle to indicate that the cycle is complete. When the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active, programming
allows for the elimination of the tone during the Anti-Wrinkle Program, with the exception of the keyboard
(touch pad) entry tone, which is fixed at approximately 1-second. Programming allows the tone to be set from
0 to 15-seconds in 1-second increments.
L. PREPROGRAMMED CYCLE PREVIEW
The parameters (programs) of the preprogrammed cycles can be displayed for verification. To view a preset
program (parameter), simply press the “ENTER/ST ART” key and the desired preset program (parameter). The
L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read the parameters (programs) set, then return to the “REAdY” display
mode.
M. REVERSING OPTION
This program helps eliminate wrinkling due to balling up or tangling of large items.
REVERSING OPTION SELECTIONS:
1. Reverse or No Reverse (preprogrammed cycles ONLY)
2. Select Reverse or Always Reverse (manually loaded cycles ONLY)
3. Basket (Tumbler) Spin T ime and Dwell (Stop) Time
a. Fixed in the Automatic “AUTO ” Mode and CANNOT BE CHANGED.
1) Spin Time - Forward - 2-1/2 minutes, Reverse - 2 minutes.
2) Dwell (Stop) Time - 5-seconds.
13
4. Basket (Tumbler) Spin T ime and Dwell (S top) Time

2) Dwell (Stop) Time - programmable from 5-seconds to 10-seconds in one-second increments.
N. DIAGNOSTICS
Three (3) major circuits of the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) are monitored. They are as
follows:
1.
Microprocessor Heat Sensor Circuit fault will shut the drying cycle off, and the L.E.D. (light emitting diode)
display will read “dSFL.”
2. If there is a fault in the Door Switch Circuit, the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read “door.” This
“door” display code will also appear if while a cycle is in progress, the main door was opened and not
closed, and a keyboard (touchpad) entry was made.
a. There is a red indicator light labeled “DOOR” on the back side of the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor
controller (computer) to help in diagnosing this specific fault/failure.
3. If the Basket (tumbler) Fails To Rotate, a signal will appear on the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display
(“SEFL”) along with an audible tone.
High Temperature Protection - if the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) senses that the
temperature in the basket (tumbler) has exceeded 220º F (104º C), it will
shut the dryer down completely, and the default code “Hot” will appear in
the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display , indicating that this an overheating
problem. The “Hot” default code will be displayed until the temperature
has dropped down to 220º F (104º C) or lower, and then the “CLEAR/
STOP” key must be pressed, at which time the L.E.D. display will return
to “FILL.”
O. SYSTEM PARAMETERS (PROGRAM LOCATIONS/REVIEW)
The system parameters are the programs which, once set by the factory, rarely need to be changed in the field.
These system parameters (programs) are stored in the memory and catalogued as program locations (Keys “2,”
“5,” “8,” and “0”).
ALL of the parameters affect the manually loaded program cycles, and some affect the Manually Loaded
Program Cycles. The information on page 56 shows the parameters of each program location, as well as what
cycles are affected. The programming limits of each program location are shown on page 57 and page 58.
Additionally, the parameters preset by the factory are shown on page 54 and page 55.
Review system parameters (programs) with one (1) touch of the keyboard (touch pad) key “8.” The Phase 5
OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will automatically display Program Locations “2,” “5,” “8,” and “0.”
14
1. Program Location 2 (Key “2”)
a. Temperature Conversion Status - this program controls whether the temperature-related programs will
be operated in Fahrenheit (º F) or Celsius (º C). The programs
affected are as follows:
1) Temperature Display Mode.
2) Temperature Selections (drying temperatures).
3) Cool Down Temperatures.
IMPORTANT: The Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) automatically calculates and
converts the temperatures in these programs to the previously set value. For example,
when changing from º F to º C, if the preprogrammed Cycle “A” drying temperature
was set for 160º F (71º C), the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
will change to 160º F (71º C) +/- one-degree Celsius.
b. Select Reverse - for optional reversing models, this program allows the operator to have a choice of
Reverse or No Reverse (single direction rotation) basket (tumbler) action in the manually
loaded cycles ONLY.
1) Always Reverse (“ArEu”) - in this operational mode the operator has no choice. Any manually
loaded cycle entered will be a reversing cycle.
2) Select Reverse (“SrEu”) - when this parameter (program) is chosen, the Phase 5 OPL
microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the operator to decide
whether or not the manually loaded cycle entered is to be a reversing
cycle.
c. Rotation Sensor Selection - this option allows the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
to monitor the rotation of the basket (tumbler).
d. Factor “A” (Slope Program) - this parameter (program) is one of the factors that the Phase 5 OPL
microprocessor controller (computer) uses when programmed in the
Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627). This factor
pertains to the thermal characteristics of each model dryer . In this Slope
Program, the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) monitors
how long it takes for the dryer to get to the selected temperature. The
range of adjustment of this slope factor is 1 through 9 in increments of
one (1).
1) This slope factor has been programmed by the factory as outlined on page 54 and page 55 and
SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED unless the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
should fail and is being replaced. The replacement Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
MUST BE PROGRAMMED for the particular dryer model and heating unit as shown in the “A”
and “B” Factor table/chart on page 59 and page 60 of this manual.
15
e. Factor “B” (Heat Loss [offset] Program) - this parameter/program is one (1) of the factors that the Phase
5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) uses when
programmed in the Automatic Drying Cycle/Mode (Patent
No. 4,827,627). This factor also pertains to the thermal
characteristics of each model dryer. This factor setting is
dependent upon the model dryer and the type of heating unit.
The range of adjustment of this slope factor is 1 through 99 in
increments of one (1).
1) This factor (Factor “B”) has been programmed by the factory as outlined on
page 54 and page 55
and SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED unless the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
should fail and is being replaced. The replacement Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller (computer)
MUST BE PROGRAMMED for the particular dryer model and heating unit as shown in the “A”
and “B” Factor table/chart on page 59 and page 60 of this manual.
2. Program Location 5 (Key “5”)
a. Flash Display Status - this parameter (program) allows for the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display to
read ONLY the Cycle In Progress or ONLY the Basket (tumbler) Temperature,
while a cycle is in progress. This is referred to as No Flash (“nFLS”). When this
parameter is set to Flash (“FLS”), the L.E.D. display will flash (alternate) back
and forth between the Cycle In Progress and the Temperature.
b. Flash Cycle Display Time - if the Flash Display (“FLS”) was chosen at the beginning of Program
Location 5 (Key 5), the operator will now be prompted to enter the time the
L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read Cycle In Progress before
changing to the Basket (tumbler) Temperature. The Flash Cycle Display
Time is programmable from 1 to 15-seconds in one-second increments.
c. Flash Temperature Display T ime - if the Flash Display (“FLS”) was chosen at the beginning of Program
Location 5 (Key 5), the operator will now be prompted to enter the
time the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display will read Cycle In Progress
before changing to the Basket (tumbler) T emperature. The Flash Cycle
Display Time is programmable from 1 to 15-seconds in one-second
increments.
3. Program Location 8 (Key “8”)
a. Cool Down Time - this parameter (program) affects ONLY the Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent

one-degree increments.
c. Spin T ime - this parameter (program) is fixed at 2 minutes in the Automatic Mode and programmable in
the Manual Mode. This Spin T ime is programmable (in the Manually Loaded Cycle ONL Y )
from 30-seconds to 120-seconds in one-second increments.
16
d. Dwell (Stop) Time - this parameter (program) is fixed at 5-seconds in the Automatic Mode and
programmable in the Manual Mode. This Dwell (Stop) Time is programmable (in
the Manually Loaded Cycle ONLY) from 5-seconds to 10-seconds in one-second
increments.
e. Buz (Tone) T ime -this parameter allows the operator to adjust the time, the signal tone sounds from 0 to
15-seconds in one-second increments. This parameter (program) affects the tone at
the end of the drying cycle and cooling cycle, as well as, at the end of the Guard On
Time when the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active (“Grd”).
Program Location 0 (Key “0”)
4.
a. Anti-Wrinkle Program Activation - this parameter (program) controls whether or not the Anti-Wrinkle
Program (“Grd”)
ONLY.
b. Buz Time (Anti-Wrinkle T one) - when the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active (“Grd”), this parameter
(program) allows the operator the option to have the tone (buzzer) sound
at the end of each Anti-Wrinkle On T ime Cycle. The Buz (tone) Time is
programmable from 0 to 15-seconds in one-second increments (refer to
Program Location 8 [Key “8”]).
will be active (on) for manually loaded cycles
c. Anti-Wrinkle On T ime - this parameter (program) controls the amount of time that the basket (tumbler)
will turn (spin/rotate) without heat when the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active
(“Grd”). The Anti-Wrinkle On Time is programmable from 10-seconds to
60-seconds in one-second increments.
d. Anti-Wrinkle Delay Time - when the Anti-W rinkle Program is active (“Grd”), this parameter (program)
controls the Dwell (Stop) and activation of the Anti-Wrinkle On Time. The
Anti-Wrinkle Delay Time (“GdLY”) is programmable from 10-seconds to
255-seconds in one-second increments.
e. Maximum Guard On Time - this parameter (program) controls the maximum time that the Anti-Wrinkle
Program will be in progress. The Maximum Guard On Time (MGrd”) is
programmable from 1 minute to 99 minutes in one (1) minute increments.

P. SPECIAL COOL DOWN PROGRAM/SELECTION (Patent No. 5,161,314)
This unique Cool Down Program/Selection is specifically designed to limit the amount of cooling that occurs
during the Cool Down Cycle. During the Special Cool Down Cycle process, the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor
controller (computer) cycles the heat at various intervals to achieve a gradual cool down of approximately 10º F
(-12º C) per minute. Hence, this program allows the fabric to cool at a limited and controlled rate, thus allowing
the material to relax without excessive wrinkling, especially with fabrics that are easily shocked and/or respond
adversely to great changes in temperature (i.e., Visa®).
This Special Cool Down Program/Selection (Patent No. 5,161,314) can ONLY be found in preprogrammed
Cycle “F” when programmed as a “Timed Cycle” and ONLY when the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller
(computer) has been programmed for Special Cool Down (“SC”), as described in the Programming Section of
this manual.
NOTE: Unless specified at the time of ordering, the Phase 5 OPL microprocessor controller
(computer) has been programmed with this Special Cool Down “Not Active” (“nSC”).
With this Special Cool Down “Active” (“SC”), the Cool Down T emperature limits dif fer than if it were a normal
cycle. The Special Cycle “Cool Down Time” or minimum limits are governed by the “drying temperatures”
selected.
D RY ING TEMPERATU RE RA NG E MIN IMUM L IMIT
180º F to 200º F 82º C to 93º C 10 Minutes
150º F to 179º F 65º C to 82º C 7 Minutes
100º F to 149º F 37º C to 65º C 5 Minutes
Although this Special Cool Down Program/Selection (Patent No. 5,161,314) is designed primarily for gas heated
dryers, it can be used for both electric heated and steam heated dryers, however, the results will vary.
IMPORTANT: During a cycle, the Special Cool Down Cycle should be allowed to run its entire
cycle without any interruption (i.e., the main door should not be opened), so that the
material being dried is properly cooled...otherwise serious injury may result.
NOTES: To utilize this unique “Special Cool Down Cycle,” the items below must be kept in mind...
1. Activate the Special Cool Down Cycle as explained in the Programming Section of this
manual.
2. Preprogrammed Cycle “F” must be set in the “Timed Mode.”
3. Preprogrammed Cycle “F” should be changed to reflect the programming limits outlined
above.
