Introduction __________________________

The Phase 5 Coin Computer System is a fully programmable,
highly sophisticated dryer control system. American Dryer
Corporation has designed the Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) to be the most versatile and reliable coin­operated control system available.

To eliminate as many moving parts as possible, all Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer) programming is
done through the membrane switch on the front of the control
panel. The program switch that puts microprocessor controller
(computer) into the program mode is a single program switch.
This program switch eliminates the possibility of switch failure
due to an accumulation of lint or moisture.

Phase 5 Coin Microprocessor Controller
(Computer) Features

AUTOMA TIC PROGRAM REVIEW

In the program mode, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) will show all settings by one touch of the
low temperature keypad selection.

PROGRAMMABLE

Changes in the programs are made at the temperature keypad
selection and actual programs are displayed for verification.

ADJUSTABLE TIME

Programmable from a minimum of 1 minute to a maximum of
99 minutes in 1 minute increments.

COIN ACCEPTOR DENOMINATIONS

Values of coin acceptors are programmable from a minimum
of 1 to a maximum value of 9999 for any U.S. or foreign coin
denomination.

AMOUNT TO START

Programmable from a minimum value of 1 to a maximum value
of 9999 in increments of one.

ACCUMULATIVE TIME

This program yields a specific value of time for any coin entry
made after the “Amount To Start” has been inserted.

Time For Amount To Start

This program retains the time the owner wishes to vend. The
feature allows any additional purchase that is made to be
calculated to the second. There is no calculation necessary
by the owner. The Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) calculates the vended time.

ACCUMULATIVE COIN

This program selection requires that a specific value of coin(s)
be inserted for additional time, programmable for any minimum
amount.

COIN COUNT

The number of coins inserted, including a separate display
program for optional dual coin acceptors, can be viewed
through the Phase 5 computer’s L.E.D. display.

BAD COIN LOCKOUT

Each coin is monitored. Should someone tamper with the
coin acceptor or attempt to insert a foreign object, the
microprocessor controller (computer) will “LOCKOUT” and will
not accept any entries until the reset time has elapsed
(approximately 15-seconds). Once the reset time has expired,
the microprocessor controller (computer) will automatically
reset itself for the next coin entry.

TEMPERA TURE CONVERSION

When the temperature conversion status is changed (i.e. from
°F to °C), the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will automatically convert all temperature related
programs/parameters from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice
versa. The Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
will perform this conversion within 1° F (2° C). The programs
affected are:

1. Temperature Display Mode

2. Temperature Selections

3. Cool Down Temperatures

DRYING TEMPERATURES

Any of the three temperature selections (HI/LO/PP) are
programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a maximum of
190° F in ten-degree increments or from a minimum of 38° C
to a maximum of 88° C in five-degree increments. Actual
temperature programs are displayed at time of programming
for verification.

For the AD-26 and AD-295 any three of the selections (HI/LO/
PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 170° F in ten-degree increments, or from a
minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 77° C in five-degree
increments.

For the AD-540 and WDA-540 any three of the selections (HI/
LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 160° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 71° C in five-degree
increments.

COOL DOWN TIME

All three temperature selections are programmable from a
minimum of 0 minutes to a maximum of 9 minutes in 1 minute
increments.

COOL DOWN TEMPERATURES

In the automatic or free dry modes, the cool down cycle
termination is programmable from a minimum of 70° F to a
maximum of 190° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 21° C to a maximum of 88° C in five-degree
increments.

AUTOMATIC MODE (Patent No. 4,827,627)

This program selection uses ADC’s patented Auto-Dry cycle.
The microprocessor controller (computer) will calculate the
percent of the dryness and read “donE” when complete. The
Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) can be
programmed to have a maximum time for the “Auto Mode.”
The Automatic Cycle (mode) can be used in either the “Free
Dry” Mode or the “Coin” Mode.

112146-62 www.adclaundry.com 3

ANTI-WRINKLE

This program selection helps keep permanent press items
wrinkle free when they are not removed from the dryer promptly
at the end of the drying and cooling cycles. The Anti-Wrinkle
program settings are:

1. Guard Delay Time ..............1 to 9 minutes

2. Guard On Time...................1 to 99-seconds

3. Active Guard Time..............1 to 99 minutes

FREE DRY MODE

In this program selection, the dryer can be started without the
insertion of coins by simply pressing any one of the three
temperature selections. When set in the “Free Dry” Mode,
the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) can
also be programmed to run with an Automatic Cycle (percent
of dryness) or with a Timed Cycle. If the “Free Dry” program
is utilized, the computer’s L.E.D. display will cycle back and
forth between “FILL” to “FrEE,” unless otherwise programmed.

L.E.D. FLASH DISPLAY

Programmable to allow the L.E.D. readout to display a choice
of “FILL” (no cycle in progress), “Amount To Start” (i.e., 25¢),
or, in the case of free dry , “FrEE.” This program selection also
allows the L.E.D. display to flash back and forth every
2-seconds from “FILL” to “Amount To Start” or, in the case of
free dry, from “FILL” to “FrEE.”

AUDIBLE TONE

In this program selection, a tone (buzzer) will sound for each
coin inserted, program entry, or at the drying and cooling cycles
for a period of 5-seconds to indicate that the cycle is complete.
Additionally, when in the Anti-Wrinkle program, the tone
(buzzer) will sound for 5-seconds at the end of the “Guard On
Time.”

TEMPERA TURE DISPLAY

This program selection enables the temperature in the dryer
to be viewed (°F or °C) either while the dryer is off or running.
This service feature shows that the dryer is maintaining the
selected temperature.

DIAGNOSTICS

All major circuits, including door, microprocessor temperature
sensor, heat, and motor circuits are monitored. There are
also indicators installed on the outputs of each relay to easily
identify failures, and the door switch has an indicator installed
on the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) to help
indicate failure.

AUTOMATIC DRY TIME

This program selection allows the dryer to run up to a specific
time. During the “AUtO” mode or “FrEE” dry mode this program
is only designed to limit the dryer’s operation during the drying
cycle.

ROTATIONAL SAFE GUARD (Optional)

This program monitors the rotation of the tumbler. If the tumbler
is not rotating, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will disable all outputs, an audible tone (buzzer)
will sound, and an error message will be displayed. This
program selection can be programmed to be in the inactive
mode.

BATTERY BACKUP (Optional)

This feature allows the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) to maintain its operating status should a momentary
power interruption occur while the dryer cycle is in progress.

the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) has
been preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters
shown on page 36. Should program changes be found
necessary, please read this Phase 5 Coin User’s Manual
carefully to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer) programming
characteristics.

Timed Mode ___________________________

When turning on power or when no cycle is in progress, the
L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or “Amount T o S tart” (“AtS t”).

Insert coin(s). Once the correct “Amount To Start” has been
inserted, the L.E.D. display will read “PUSH.”

Select temperature by pushing “HI TEMP,” “LO TEMP,” or
“PERM PRESS.” The dryer will start and the L.E.D. display
will read the temperature cycle selected and the drying time.

The dryer will continue through the drying and cooling cycles,
showing time counting downward.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle, both the heat
and motor will stop. However, the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count
downwards in time. Continuation of the cycle will resume
only after the door has been closed and any one of the
three temperature selection buttons is again depressed.

Upon completion of the drying and cooling cycles, the buzzer
(tone) will sound, and the L.E.D. display will read “donE” for
5-seconds, at which time the dryer will shut off.

NOTE: If the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active (“Grd”), the
L.E.D. display will remain reading “donE,” and the Phase 5
coin microprocessor (computer) will proceed through the
Anti-Wrinkle Program until the maximum “Guard On Time”
has expired or until the door is opened, whichever comes
first. The L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or “Amount To
Start” (“AtSt”).

If the Anti-Wrinkle Program is not active (“nGrd”) the L.E.D.
display will read “donE” until the main door is opened, at
which time the L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or
“Amount To Start.”

Automatic Mode
(Patent No. 4,827,627) ________________

When turning on power or when no cycle is in progress, the
L.E.D. display will read “Fill” and/or “Amount To Start” (“AtS t”).

Insert coin(s). Once correct “Amount to Start” has been
inserted, the L.E.D. display will read “PUSH.”

Select temperature by pushing “HI TEMP,” “LO TEMP,” or
“PERM PRESS.” The dryer will start, the L.E.D. display will
read the temperature cycle selected, and the drying time
portion of the L.E.D. display will read “00” and count upward

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle, both the heat
and motor will stop. However, the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count
upwards in time. Continuation of the cycle will resume
only after the door has been closed and any one of the
three temperature selection buttons is again depressed.

Once the preprogrammed dryness level and cool down period
have been reached or maximum automatic time has expired,
whichever comes first, the buzzer (tone) will sound, and the
L.E.D. display will read “donE” for 5-seconds, at which time
the dryer will shut off.

NOTE: If the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active (“Grd”), the
L.E.D. display will remain reading “donE,” and the Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer) will proceed
through the Anti-Wrinkle Program until the maximum
“Guard On Time” has expired or door is opened, whichever
comes first. The L.E.D. will read “FILL” and/or “Amount To
Start” (“AtSt”).

If the Anti-Wrinkle Program is not active (“nGrd”), the
L.E.D. display will read “donE” until the main door is
opened, at which time the L.E.D. display will read “FILL”
and/or “Amount To Start.”

Free Dry Mode ________________________

When turning on power or when no cycle is in progress, the
L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or “FrEE.”

Select temperature. The dryer will start, the L.E.D. display
will read the temperature cycle selected and the drying time
portion of the L.E.D. display will read the temperature cycle
selected. The drying time portion of the L.E.D. drying will read
“00” and count upward as time elapses, or the vended time
will count downward, depending on which parameter is
programmed.

NOTE: If the door is opened during a cycle, both the heat
and motor will stop. However, the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count
the time, either upward or downward, depending on which
parameter is programmed. Continuation of the cycle will
resume only after the door has been closed and any one of
three temperature selection buttons is again depressed.

Once the preprogrammed percent dryness level and cool down
period has been reached or maximum automatic time has
expired, whichever comes first, the tone (buzzer) will sound,
and the L.E.D. display will read “donE” for 5-seconds, at which
time the dryer will shut off.

NOTE: If the Anti-Wrinkle Program is active (“Grd”), the
L.E.D. display will remain reading “donE,” and the Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer) will proceed
through the Anti-Wrinkle Program until the maximum
“Guard On Time” has expired or door is opened, whichever
comes first. The L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or
“Amount To Start” (“AtSt”).

If the Anti-Wrinkle Program is not active (“nGrd”), the

Program Selection ____________________

NOTE: Programs are stored in the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) memory and are
cataloged as PL.

Temperature Display Mode

By closing the PS located on the back side of the Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer), the L.E.D. display
will read the temperature in the dryer in either Fahrenheit (°F)
or Celsius (°C), depending on how the temperature conversion
status is in PL01. The temperature display mode can be
activated while the dryer is in the operating cycle, or off. While
in the operating cycle, the circuit indicators are visible for
troubleshooting purposes.

NOTE: The dryer cannot be started while the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) PS is closed, unless
the cycle was already in progress.

Right Coin Count (rCC)/Left Coin Count (LCC)

The “HI TEMP” key lets the operator review the coin counters.
If the operator presses the “HI TEMP” key, the computer
displays “_LCC.” The operator could then press either the
“PERM PRESS” key to view the “Left Coin Count” or the “HI
TEMP” key and the computer would display “_rCC.” Again,
the operator could press the “PERM PRESS” key to view the
“right coin count.” While displaying the coin count, if the
operator presses the “HI TEMP” key the computer then
displays “CxCC” (x = “r” or “L”) to indicate “clearing” the coin
count. The operator then presses the “PERM PRESS” key to
clear the coin count or the “HI TEMP” or “LO TEMP” key to
exit without clearing the coin count.

Automatic Re view of Program Location

This selection allows for the AUTOMATIC REVIEW of what
the program locations are set (programmed) for, thereby
eliminating the need to go into each and every PL manually
for verification. By closing the PS with no cycle in progress,
the L.E.D. display will read the temperature in the dryer. Then,
by pressing the “LO TEMP” key, the L.E.D. display will read
“PLOC” for 1-second. Then, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) will go into the Automatic Review Mode,
the Program Location numbers (i.e., PL01, PL02, etc.) will not
be shown and each parameter (i.e., “°F Ar,” “tInE,” “Grd,” etc.)
will be displayed for approximately 1-second each. The
Automatic Review can be stopped/exited at any time by simply
pressing the “PERM PRESS” key, at which time the L.E.D.
display will read “0000” for 1-second and then return to the
Temperature display mode.

PL01 – Temperature Conversion Status

This program controls whether the temperature related
programs will be operated in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).
The programs affected are:

1. Temperature Display Mode

2. Selection Cycling Temperatures

3. Cool Down Temperatures

Automatic Mode (AUtO) Pa tent No. 4,827,627

When this parameter (“AUtO”) is selected, the dryer will run
for a preset level of dryness (PL02) or until the programmed
automatic maximum time (PL14) has expired.

At the end of the drying cycle, the dryer will go into the cool
down cycle for the time period programmed (PL04, PL06, or
PL08) or until the temperature has dropped to the programmed
cool down temperature (PL04, PL06, or PL08).

NOTE: Due to humidity, atmospheric pressure, percentage
of extraction, etc., the desired dryness level may vary. It is
suggested that the owner determine which level of dryness
(90% to 100%) is best suited for his/her application by
experimenting with a few test loads.

When programming, to use the Automatic Mode (“AUtO”)
(Patent No. 4,827,627), the following parameter/programs
need to be checked and/or changed accordingly:

PL01.......... “AUtO”

“FrEE” or “Coin” (coins required to start)

PL02.......... “PdrY” (percent dry from 90% to 100%)

PL14.......... “Adrt” (maximum auto dry time)

PL17.......... “A” and “b” Factors

6 American Dryer Corp. 112146-62

Timed Mode (tInE)

When this parameter is selected (“tInE”) and the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) has been activated, the
dryer will continue to run until the preset time, including the
cool down period (PL04, PL06, or PL08), has elapsed, at which
time the dryer will cycle off or go into the optional Anti-W rinkle
Program.

Anti-Wrinkle Program (Grd)

This feature can be used in conjunction with any of the three
operating modes (Coin Mode, Auto Mode, or the Free Dry
Mode). In this program (“Grd”), when the drying and cooling
cycles are completed, the dryer will shut off, the buzzer (tone)
will sound, and the L.E.D. display will read “donE.” If the door
is not opened, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will wait until the “Guard Delay Time” (PL15) has
expired, at which time the clothes will be tumbled (without
heat) for the programmed ”Guard On Time” (PL15). The Phase
5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this
process until the programmed “Active Guard Time” (PL16) has
expired or until the dryer door is opened, at which time the
L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or “Amount T o S tart” (“AtS t”)
or “FILL” and/or “FrEE.”

NOTE: When programming the use of the Anti-Wrinkle
Program (“Grd”), the following parameter/programs need to
be checked and/or changed accordingly:

PL01........ “Grd” (Anti-Wrinkle Program active)

“bUZ” or “nbUZ” (buzzer [tone] active/not active)

PL15........ “GdLY” (guard delay time)

“Gont” (guard on time)

PL16........ “AGt” (active guard time)

Buzz/Tone (bUZ)

With the Anti-Wrinkle Program active, the option is available
to have the buzzer/tone (“bUZ”) sound for a period of
5-seconds at the end of each “Guard On Time” cycle, or, no
buzzer (“nbUZ”) sound.

Free Dry Mode (FrEE)

The Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) can
be programmed to run without the insertion of coins. When
the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is in
the “FrEE” dry mode, it may be programmed to run in the
“AUtO” (Automatic) Mode or the “tInE” (Timed) Mode.

NOTE: When programming the use of the Free Dry Mode
(“FrEE”), the following parameters/programs need to be
checked and/or changed accordingly:

PL01........ “AUtO” (automatic drying cycle) or

“tInE” (timed drying cycle) “FrEE”

PL02* ...... “PdrY” (percent dry)

PL14* ...... “Adrt” (maximum auto dry time)

PL17* ...... “A” and “b” factors

* Needs to be programmed only if PL01 “AUtO” cycle is chosen.

Coin Mode (Coin)

In this program mode (“Coin”), coins are required to start the
dryer, even if the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) is set in the Automatic Mode (Patent No.
4,827,627).

NOTE: When programming the use of the Coin Mode,
(“Coin”), the following parameter/programs need to be
checked and/or changed accordingly:

PL01........ “AUtO” (automatic drying cycle) or

“tInE” (timed drying cycle) “FrEE”

PL02* ...... “PdrY” (percent dry)

PL11........ “tFAS” (time for amount to start)

PL12........ “AtSt” (amount to start)

PL14* ...... “Adrt” (maximum auto dry time)

PL17* ...... “A” and “b” factors

* Needs to be programmed only if PL01 “AUtO” cycle is chosen.

Flash Display Status (FLS)

When the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
is set in this program status (“FLS”) it allows the L.E.D. readout
to display “FILL” and/or “FrEE” (no cycle in progress), and/or
“Amount To Start” (PL12) or, in the case of free dry, “FrEE.”
The programming allows the L.E.D. readout to flip-flop back
and forth every 2-seconds from “FILL” to “Amount to Start,” or
in the case of free dry, from “FILL” to “FrEE.” If the L.E.D.
display is programmed for “No Flash” (“nFLS”), the
microprocessor controller (computer) will then prompt you on
whether you would like “FILL” displayed or the “Amount To
Start” (“AtSt”).

Bad Coin Lockout Sta tus (bCL O)

In this program status (“bCLO”), each coin entry is monitored.
Should someone tamper with the coin acceptor or attempt to
insert a foreign object, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) will “LOCKOUT” and not accept any
entries until the reset time has elapsed (approximately
15-seconds). Once the reset time has expired, the Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer) will automatically
reset itself immediately for the next entry.

Bad Coin Reset (bCrS)

When set in this program (“bCrS”), the Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) counts in milliseconds
the amount of time required for a coin entry signal. If someone
should tamper with the coin acceptor or attempt to insert a
foreign object, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will not accept the entry and will automatically reset
itself immediately for the next entry.

Accumulative Time (AtIn)
(Single Coin)

In this program mode (“AtIn”), each coin inserted has a specific
value in time, which is determined by the “Time For Amount to
Start” (“tFAS”) program (PL11).

Example No. 1: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor
and the desired time is 30 minutes, each additional coin
inserted would yield 30 minutes.

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 30

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 25

Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor
and the “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) is 50¢ for 30 minutes, the
insertion of each additional coin would yield 15 minutes. In
this application the vended time for additional coins is
determined by a Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) calculation. There is no calculation required by
the owner.

112146-62 www.adclaundry.com 7

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “ LCdE”

(25¢/50¢) (30) = 15 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 30

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 50

(Dual Coin)

In the Accumulative T ime (AtIn) Mode, when using a dual coin
acceptor, once the “Amount T o S tart” (“AtSt”) has been inserted,
the addition of a coin(s) yields more time.

The vended time for additional coins is determined by the
Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) calculation.
There is no calculation required by the owner.

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time

Example No. 1: Using a 10¢/25¢ dual coin acceptor with the
desired “Amount to Start” (“AtSt”) being 25¢ for 15 minutes,
each additional 10¢ would yield the following:

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “LCdE”

(10¢/25¢) (15 minutes) 6 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 10

PL10 (rCdE) ....................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 15

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 25

Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual
coin acceptor and the desired “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) is
35¢ for 14 minutes, each additional 10¢ inserted would yield
4 minutes and each additional 25¢ would yield 10 minutes.

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “LCdE”

(10¢/35¢) (14 minutes) 4 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 10

PL10 (rCdE) ....................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 14

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 35

Example No. 3: If the dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual
coin acceptor and the desired “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) is
55¢ for 33 minutes, each additional 10¢ inserted would yield
6 minutes, and each additional 25¢ would yield 15 minutes.

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “LCdE”

(10¢/55¢) (33 minutes) 6 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 10

PL10 (rCdE) ....................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 33

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 55

NOTE: If the total Vend Time cannot be divided evenly by
the “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”), the “Time For Amount To
Start” will calculate precisely the amount of the time
entitled to the purchaser.

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “LCdE”

(10¢/35¢) = 2.85 minutes

(2 minutes and 51-seconds)

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 10

PL10 (rCdE) ....................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 10

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 35

Accumulative Coin (ACOn)

When this program mode (“ACOn”) is selected, additional time
can only be achieved when the “Amount For Additional Time”
(“AFAt”) PL13 has been inserted.

NOTE: When programming, to use the Accumulative Coin
Mode (“ACOn”), the following parameters/programs need
to be checked and/or changed accordingly:

Settings: PL01 ......................... “ACOn”

(“Accumulative Coin”)

PL13 ........................... “AFAt”

(“Amount For Additional Time”)

(Single Coin Acceptor)

Example No. 1: Using a 25¢ coin acceptor with the desired
“Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) being 50¢ for 24 minutes, the Phase
5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) would yield more
time (24 minutes) only when an additional 50¢ is inserted.
For this application, the “Time For Amount To Start” (“tFAS”)
program (PL11) is determined as follows:

Formula: (AFAt/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “AFAt”

(50¢/50¢) (24 minutes) = 24 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 24

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 50

PL13 (AFAt) ....................... 50

(Dual Coin Acceptor)

With a dual coin acceptor the “Time For Amount To Start”
(“tFAS”) is determined as shown below:

Formula: (AFAt/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “AFAt”

Example No. 1: Using a 10¢/25¢ dual coin acceptor the desired
“Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) is 50¢ for 20 minutes and the
“Amount for Additional Time” (“AFAt”) is set for 20¢ each
additional 20¢ would yield 8 minutes.

Formula: (AFAt/AtSt) (tFAS) = Additional Vended Time

(20/50) (20 minutes) = 8 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 10

PL10 (rCdE) ....................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 20

PL12 (AtSt) ........................ 50

PL13 (AFAt) ....................... 20

Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual
coin acceptor and the desired “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) is
35¢ for 14 minutes and the “Amount For Additional Time”
(“AFAt”) is set for 25¢, each additional 25¢ inserted would
yield 10 minutes.

Formula: (AFAt/AtSt)(tFAS) = Vended Time for “AFAt”

(25¢/35¢) (14 minutes) = 10 minutes

Settings: PL09 (LCdE) ...................... 10

PL10 (rCdE) ....................... 25

PL11 (tFAS) ........................ 14

Rotational Safe Guard – Optional (nSEn)

This program monitors the rotation of the tumbler and works
in conjunction with a special sensor (optional) located at the
rear tumbler support area of the dryer. If the tumbler is not
rotating (i.e., broken belt, failed motor, etc.), the Phase 5
microprocessor controller (computer) will disable all outputs
(shut the dryer down), the buzzer (tone) will sound (for time
programmed), and the L.E.D. display will read a failure
message “SEFL” (Rotational Sensor Circuit Failure). The
failure code must be cancelled manually by opening and
closing the PS. This program selection (option) can be
programmed to be active (“SEn”) or inactive (“nSEn”).

NOTE: This parameter is programmed by the factory to be
inactive (“nSEn”) unless the dryer was manufactured with
optional “rotational sensor.”

PL02 – Percent Dry (PdrY)

When in the Automatic Mode, the dryer will run until the preset
level of dryness has been reached or until the Maximum Auto
Dryness Time (Adrt) has been reached or until the Maximum
Auto Dryness Time (Adrt) has expired. The dryness level is
programmable from a minimum of 90% to a maximum of 100%.

NOTE: Due to humidity, atmospheric pressure, water
retention in the garment etc., the desired “Percent Dry”
(“PdrY”) may vary. It is suggested that the owner
determine which level of dryness (90% to 100%) is best
suited for his/her application by experimenting with a few
test loads.

PL03 – High Temperature (HI°F)

The high operating temperature is programmable from a
minimum of 100° F to a maximum of 190° F in ten-degree
increments or from a minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 88°
C in five-degree increments.

For the AD-26 and AD-295 any three of the selections (HI/LO/
PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 170° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 77° C in five-degree
increments.

For the AD-540 and WDA-540 any three of the selections (HI/
LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 160° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 71° C in five-degree
increments.

PL04 – High Cool Down
T emperature/Time (HICd)

The first part of this program controls the cool down
temperature when the Phase 5 microprocessor controller
(computer) is used in the automatic mode. The cool down
temperature is programmable from a minimum of 70° F to a
maximum of 190° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 21° C to a maximum of 88° C in five-degree
increments.

For the AD-26 and AD-295 any three of the selections (HI/LO/
PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 170° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 77° C in five-degree
increments.

For the AD-540 and WDA-540 any three of the selections (HI/
LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 160° F in ten-degree increments or from a
minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 71° C in five-degree
increments.

The second part of this program controls the cool down time
for both the automatic and timed modes. The cool down time
can be programmed from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 9
minutes.

NOTE: When the Phase 5 microprocessor controller
(computer) is used in the automatic mode, at the end of the
drying cycle, the Phase 5 microprocessor controller
(computer) will start the cooling cycle for the cool down
time programmed or until the temperature has dropped to
the programmed cool down temperature, whichever of the
two comes first.

PL05 – Low T emperature (LO°F)

Same as PL03 but for Low Temperature program.

PL06 – Low Cool Down
Temperature/Time (LOCd)

Same as for PL04 but for low Cool Down Temperature/Time.

PL07 – Permanent Press (PP°F)

Same as PL03 but for Permanent Press.

PL08 – Permanent Press Cool Down
Temperature/Time (PPCd)

Same as PL04 but for Permanent Press Cool Down
Temperature/Time.

PL09 – Left Coin Slot Denomination (LCdE)

In the case of a single coin acceptor, this program setting is
determined by the value of the coin acceptor (i.e., 25¢).

When a dual coin acceptor is used, the program setting is
determined by the left coin slot coin acceptor value (lower
coin value).

Program settings are from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of

9999.

PL10 – Right Coin Slot Denomination (rCdE)

This program need only be set when a dual coin acceptor is
used. The program setting is determined by the value of the
right coin acceptor slot (higher value).

Program settings are from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of

9999.
When used in conjunction with the left Coin Slot Denomination

program, the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer)
automatically calculates the ratios necessary for coin insertion
time values.

PL11 – Time For Amount To Start (tFAS)

This program is set for the specific value in TIME that will be
vended for the programmed “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) the
dryer. For example, if 25¢ is required to st art the dryer for 10
minutes, the settings would be...

PL11 “Time for Amount to Start”.............. “tFAS” = 10

PL12 “Amount To Start”............................ “AtSt” = 25

112146-62 www.adclaundry.com 9

In addition, with the “Time For Amount to Start” (“tFAS”) and
the “Amount To Start” (PL12 – “AtS t”) programmed along with
the type of coin acceptor (denominations) on the dryer (i.e.
10¢/25¢), the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer)
will do all calculations and vend the correct amount of time for
any coin inserted after the initial “Amount To Start” has been
inserted – including both accumulative coin program settings.
For example, if a dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual coin
acceptor and the desired “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) is 55¢ for
33 minutes (“tFAS”), with the microprocessor controller
(computer) set for accumulative time, after initial “Amount To
Start” is inserted (55¢), each additional 10¢ inserted would
yield 6 minutes, and each additional 25¢ inserted would yield
15 minutes.

PL12 – Amount T o Start (AtSt)

This program sets the “Amount To Start” the dryer and can be
programmed from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9999.

PL13 – Minimum Amount
For Additional Time (AFAt)

This program need only be set when the Phase 5
microprocessor controller (computer) is set in the
“Accumulative Coin” (“ACOn”) mode (PL01). The value set
for this program is what will have to be inserted for more time
after the “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) has been inserted.

Example No. 1: “Amount to St art” (“AtSt”) is 50¢ for 30 minutes
and an additional 50¢ is required for more time. In this example
PL13 should be set for 50¢.

PL14 – Maximum Time
For Automatic Dry (Adrt)

This program is used only when the Phase 5 microprocessor
controller (computer) is set in the Automatic Mode. This
program controls the maximum time the dryer will run even if
the Dryness Level program (PL02) has not been reached.

PL15 – Anti-Wrinkle Timing

Guard Delay Time (GdLY)

This program controls the dwell (stop) time and activation of
anti-wrinkle “Guard On Time” (“Gont”). The dwell (stop) time
can be programmed from a minimum of 1 minute to a maximum
of 9 minutes in 1 minute increments.

Guard On Time (Gont)

The setting controls the amount of time that the tumbler will
turn, without heat, when the Anti-W rinkle is active (“Grd”). The
“Guard On Time” (“Gont”) is programmable from a minimum
of 1-second to a maximum of 99-seconds in 1-second
increments.

PL16 – Active Guard Time (AGt)

This program controls the maximum time that the Anti-Wrinkle
Program will be active and is programmable from a minimum
of 1 minute to a maximum of 99 minutes in 1 minute
increments.

PL17 – “A” and “b” Factors

This location will include the “Auto-Cycle” parameters. These
parameters are necessary to allow the Phase 5 microprocessor
controller (computer) to calculate the percentage of dryness
in the tumbler. The “A” Factor is adjustable from 1 to 99.

These parameters are the factors that the Phase 5
microprocessor controller (computer) utilizes when
programmed for an “Automatic Drying Cycle.” The “A” Factor
slope program, pertains to the thermal characteristic of each
model dryer. The “b” Factor, heat loss (offset) program, also
pertains to the thermal characteristics of each model dryer.
This factor setting is dependent upon the model dryer and
type of heating unit.

The “A” and “b” Factors have not been preprogrammed by
the factory and must be programmed if the Phase 5
microprocessor controller (computer) programming is changed
to be used in the Automatic Mode. The “A” and “b” Factors
must be programmed for the particular dryer model and heating
unit as shown in the “A” and “b” Factors (parameter) table on
page 38 of this manual.

Programming Instructions ___________

Introduction To Programming

The various program (parameters) dryer selections are stored
in the computer memory and are cataloged as “PL” 1 through

17. These programs (parameters) have been preprogrammed
by the factory as noted on page 36 of this manual. The various
program selections available are outlined in the proceeding
section (Program Selection on page 6).

All programming is done through the keypad selection buttons
on the front of the control panel. To change programs
(parameters) or to put the Phase 5 microprocessor controller
(computer) in the temperature display mode or the coin count
display mode, the PS located on the back side of the
microprocessor controller (computer) must be put into the
(down) position (PSC).

First make sure there is no cycle in progress and the L.E.D.
display reads “FILL” and/or “Amount To Start,” or “FILL” and/
or “FrEE.” Close the Program Switch (PSC). The L.E.D.
display will now read the temperature in the dryer (i.e., 72° F
[22° C]). From this point, any of the 17 program locations can
be accessed by pressing the “PERM PRESS” key once, at
which time the L.E.D. display will read “PL01.”

To alter programming, the operator must first locate the
program location or parameter to be changed. To advance to
the specific program location press the “HI TEMP” key until
the desired program location is displayed (i.e. PL01, PL02,
etc.). The “LO TEMP” key will advance the program locations
downward (i.e., PL11, PL10, etc.). Once the correct program
location is displayed and access to change is desired, press
the “PERM PRESS” key. The “PERM PRESS” key provides
two functions:

Allows access into a PL.
Advances to next bit (part of a program location) or next

location.

NOTE: When in a PL and the “PERM PRESS” key is
pressed, whatever parameter is displayed will be stored in
the microprocessor controller’s (computer’s) memory and
the programming is now advanced to the next step (bit) or
program location.

10 American Dryer Corp. 112146-62

The “HI TEMP” or “LO TEMP” key provide the following
functions:

Change numeric values...“HI TEMP” increases and “LO TEMP”
decreases.

Flip-flop for status changes...by pressing either key, a status
will revert back and forth no matter which of the two keys is
pressed.

If the change to be made is a numerical one (i.e., time or
temperature), the operator must now press the “HI TEMP”
key to increase the number value, or press the “LO TEMP”
key to lower/increase the number value. Pressing the “PERM
PRESS” key will store the change and advance to the next
step (bit) or program location.

NOTE: To accelerate increase/upward value, press and
hold in “HI TEMP” key. To accelerate decrease/downward
value, press and hold in “LO TEMP” key.

When making numerical changes, please keep in mind to
stay within the programming limits shown.

If the change to be made is a status change (i.e., to change
from °FAr to °CEL) simply press the “HI TEMP” or “LO TEMP”
key and the L.E.D. display will revert back and forth between
status choices (i.e. “Grd” and “nGrd”). Once the correct status
is displayed, pressing the “PERM PRESS” key will store the
change and advance to the next step (bit) or program location.

Once the change or changes desired are made, to exit program
mode flip up (open) the PS.

NOTE: You can exit the programming mode at any time
(even if you are in the middle of a program location) by
simply opening the PS. However, if a change was made
be sure the “PERM PRESS” key is pressed before opening
the PS to ensure the change was stored in the
microprocessor controller’s (computer’s) memory.
