INTRODUCTION
AD-310 MACHINE OPERATIONAL SUMMARY
The model AD-310 incorporates one (1) “EMERGENCY STOP (E-Stop) BUTTON” located centrally on the Right Front Control Door. This "RED" MUSHROOM PUSH-BUTTON is “PUSH TO STOP” the machine and “TURN TO RELEASE” or “PULL TO RELEASE” type control device. This button must be in the released mode to power the machine. The PHASE 5 MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLER (Computer) display will light when the “EMERGENCY STOP (E-Stop) BUTTON” is in the released mode. To turn “ON” the control voltage, press the green “ON” push-button located on the Right Front Control Door.
The dryer has two (2) electronic controllers:
PHASE 5
MICRO-1 PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) - for loading, unloading auto doors, and burner status
The Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer) only response to keypad (touchpad) commands when the tumbler section is level with the loading doors and lint drawer/basket door closed. Likewise, the Micro-1 PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) responses to load or unload selections when the dryer
MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLER (Computer) - for drying material
monitoring
is not drying material.
AD-310 OPERATOR CONTROLS/INDICATORS
The Right Front Control Door incorporates the following operator controls/indicators:
EMERGENCY STOP (E-Stop) BUTTON (Push To Stop/Turn or Pull To Release)
JOG (Forward/Reverse Push-Buttons)
UNLOAD/DRY / LOAD (Selector Switch)
TILT FUNCTION (Off - On Selector Switch)
HEATER FAULT (Indicator/Reset Push-Button)
CONTROL POWER (Indicator/Control Power On Push-Button)
CONTROL POWER (Off Push-Button)
5
EMERGENCY (E-Stop) STOP BUTTON (Push To Stop/Turn To Release or Pull To Release)
This "red" mushroom push-button, located in the center of the Right Front Control Door almost directly under the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer) is a “Push To Stop” and “Turn To Release” type push­button. This button must be in the released mode to power the machine (enable the machine to run).
JOG (Forward/Reverse Push-Buttons)
These two (2) push-buttons, located towards the left side of the Right Front Control Door, are for either loading or unloading the tumbler. “JOG” functions are only enabled when the tumbler section is in a tilted position.
NOTE: There is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) controlled “DWELL TIME” between forward
jog or reverse jog selection to prevent plug starting the tumbler drive motor.
LOAD / DRY / UNLOAD (Three [3] Position Selector Switch) TILT (Off - On) (Two [2] Position Selector Switch)
The “LOAD / DRY / UNLOAD” and “TILT (Off - On)” selector switches work in conjunction with each other. If the “TILT” selector is in the “OFF” position, an “UNLOAD" or “LOAD” selection will open the front horizontal doors, allowing an operator to load or unload the tumbler in the level position.
NOTE: The “JOG” feature will respond in the level position. The Lint Drawer must be closed for the
“JOG” feature to operate.
If the “TILT” selector is in the “ON” position, an “UNLOAD” selection will open the front vertical doors and tilt the tumbler section towards the front (Rear Up). Likewise, a “LOAD” selection will the front horizontal doors and tilt the tumbler section towards the rear (Front Up).
The “DRY” selection will bring the tumbler section to a level position and close the front horizontal doors. Once ALL safe conditions are met (i.e., front doors closed, lint drawer closed, machine level), an operator will be able to select a drying cycle on the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller’s (computer) keypad (touchpad), located on the Right Front Control Door. Refer to the Phase 5 Operator’s manual for details.
HEATER FAULT (Indicator/Reset Button) for GAS MODELS ONLY
During a drying cycle the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) monitors the status of the Phase 5 Micro­processor Controller’s (computer) “Heat On/Off” signal, the control status of the front and rear gas valves, and the state of both the front and rear burner air flow switches. If a fault is sensed, the "HEATER FAULT" indicator and “END OF CYCLE" indicator will begin to flash at a rate of one (1) per second. Both indicators will flash until the operator presses the “HEATER FAULT" reset push-button. For more details on “HEATER FAULT” refer to the operation section in this manual.
CONTROL POWER (On)
This "GREEN LIGHTED OPERATOR," located on the Right Front Control Door, is for enabling the dryer’s control voltage. This push-button must be “ON” for drying or load/unload function to occur.
6
CONTROL POWER (Off)
This "RED LIGHTED OPERATOR," located on the Right Front Control Door, is for disabling the dryer’s output control voltage. This push-button is mainly for use as a troubleshooting function.
END OF CYCLE / HEATER FAULT INDICATOR / AIR JET
This amber colored indicator located on the front/top of the dryer has two (2) functions:
1. To indicate that a drying cycle has been completed and that the dried material is ready for attention. Once the dryer is attended (i.e., lint drawer is opened, or the “UNLOAD - DRY- LOAD” selector is turned to either the “UNLOAD” or “LOAD” position and the vertical doors open) the indicator will go off.
2. To indicate that a “HEATER FAULT” has occurred.
Note that during a “HEATER FAULT” this indicator will flash in conjunction with the “HEATER FAULT" indicator/reset push-button” located on the Right Front Control Door. Refer to the “HEATER FAULT" Indicator/Reset Push-Button explanation on the previous page (page 6), for more information concerning “HEATER FAULTS.”
3. The Air Jet will be activated at the end of the drying cycle when the “END OF CYCLE “light has been energized. The Air Jet will remain active for approximately thirty (30) seconds to remove lint which may have accumulated on the Blower Wheel (squirrel cage).
7
AD-310 MACHINE OPERATION TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
END OF CYCLE/HEATER FAULT INDICATOR
The “END OF CYCLE” light located on the top/front of the dryer, is triggered by the Air Jet Signal of the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer) to the input of the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). If this
is not sensed by the PLC the light will not turn on. The “1-second flashing” is accomplished by a “Flasher
signal Module” located on the Main Control Panel in the Right Front Control Cabinet. Refer to the electrical blueprints included with this machine for detailed signal routing.
The “HEATER FAULT” signal is an output of the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) to the “END OF CYCLE” light. A “HEATER FAULT” is an indication that a malfunction has occurred in the “Gas Heat Circuit” and needs attention. Refer to the “HEATER FAULT” explanations on tion on this subject.
If this “END OF CYCLE" light fails to display at the end of every cycle;
1. Check the bulb.
2. Check voltage to the bulb (24 VAC).
page 10 and page 11 for more informa-
3. Refer to the ladder diagram and the schematics provided with this machine for detailed signal information for higher level troubleshooting.
JOG (Forward / Reverse Push-Button)
Forward “JOG” is in the clockwise (CW) direction and Reverse “JOG” is in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction.
There is a seven (7) second dwell (delay) time between a selection of a different rotation direction. This delay is to prevent plug starting the tumbler drive motor.
If the “JOG” function does not operate in the tilted position;
1. Check that the Main Doors are fully opened.
2. Check that the Overload for the Drive Motor is in the “Start” position.
3. Check that the Overload for the Tumbler Motor is in the “Start” position.
4. Check that the Lint Drawer is closed.
5. Refer to the ladder diagram and the schematics provided with this machine for detailed signal information for higher level troubleshooting.
AIR JET
If this selection does not operate;
1. Check the air supply to the dryer (set at 80 PSI).
8
2. Check to see that the Air Jet L.E.D. (light emitting diode) is on at the end of the drying cycle. If the L.E.D.
is not on it may be an indication of a failed Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer).
3. If Air Jet L.E.D. is on then check the wiring from the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer) to the air valve.
4. Bad air valve.
LOAD / DRY / UNLOAD (Selector Switch) and TILT FUNCTION (Off - On Selector Switch)
As mentioned in the machine summary (refer to page 6), the “LOAD / DRY / UNLOAD” selector switch and “TILT Off - On” selector switch work in conjunction with each other.
UNLOAD or LOAD LEVEL...opens the Vertical Doors ONLY
If this selection does not operate;
1. Check that 80 PSI of compressed air is supplied to the machine and that the door solenoid is being actuated. The “Door Open” signal is generated by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Refer to the PLC information included in the ladder diagrams and schematics supplied with the machine.
UNLOAD TILTED
This selection causes the front horizontal doors to open. Once the “Door Open” signal is sensed, the PLC enables the “Rear Up” solenoid to tilt the machine. Once the tumbler section releases the tilt switch, the “JOG” functions become enabled for an operator’s selection.
If the tumbler section does not tilt forward;
1. Verify that a “Door Open” signal is being sensed by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
2. Check that 80 PSI of compressed air is supplied to the machine and that the “Rear Up” solenoid is being actuated by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
Refer to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) signal information included in the ladder diagrams and schematics supplied with the machine.
LOAD TILTED
This selection causes the front horizontal doors to open. Once the “Door Open” signal is sensed, the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). enables the “Front Up” solenoid to tilt the machine. The “JOG” functions then becomes enabled for an operator’s selection.
If the tumbler section does not tilt towards the rear;
1. Verify that a “Door Open” signal is being sensed by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
9
2. Check that 80 PSI of compressed air is supplied to the machine and that the “Front Up” solenoid is being actuated by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
Refer to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) signal information included in the ladder diagrams and schematics supplied with the machine.
DRY
This selection prepares the machine for a “Material Drying Command” from the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer).
NOTE: Before a drying cycle can be selected, the tumbler section must be in the level position and
both the Front Horizontal Doors as well as the Lint Drawer must be closed.
The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) senses that the machine is level by the two (2) level switches located on the left side of the base section. One (1) switch is towards the rear of the machine and the other switch is towards the front of the machine.
The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) senses that the vertical doors are closed by the two (2) proximity switches located at the top center, of the dryer above the doors. These switches are magnetically actuated by magnets located on the doors.
The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) senses the Lint Drawer by a push type switch located on the right side of the lint drawer door.
IMPORTANT: THE LINT DRAWER and LINT DRAWER GUARD MUST BE CLOSED
BEFORE BRINGING THE MACHINE TO A LEVEL POSITION.
If the tumbler section does not return to a level position;
1. Verify that a “Door Closed” signal is being sensed by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
2. Check that 80 PSI of compressed air is supplied to the machine and that the “Front Down” or “Rear Down” solenoid is being actuated by the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
3. Verify that the Lint Drawer and Lint Drawer Guard is in the closed position. This signal can be easily verified since it is a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) input.
Refer to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) signal information included in the ladder diagrams and schematics supplied with the machine.
HEATER FAULT (Indicator/Reset Push-Button) for GAS MODELS ONLY
“HEATER FAULT” refers to a problem in the Gas Heating portion of the machine.
The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) monitors the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller’s (computer’s) Heat Off/On signals to the two (2) individual gas valves that supply the two (2) separate burners.
When a “HEATER FAULT” occurs within the first twenty-five (25) seconds of the drying cycle, the dryer will go to a “FILL” message on the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller’s (computer’s) display and both the “HEATER FAULT"
reset push-button and the “END OF CYCLE" light will flash.
10
When a “HEATER FAULT” occurs after the first twenty-five (25) seconds of the drying cycle, a “CLEAR/ STOP” will be sent to the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer), a “FILL” message will be displayed on the Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller’s (computer’s) display, and both the “HEATER FAULT”
reset push-
button and the “END OF CYCLE" light will flash.
NOTE: If the “HEATER FAULT Reset Push-Button” is pressed any time during the PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller) controlled cool down cycle, the machine will come to a stop since the machine is being attended to by a qualified operator.
“HEATER FAULT” occurs during the following conditions:
Front and/or rear or both air flow switches are in the closed position at the start of a drying cycle.
IMPORTANT: At the start of a drying cycle, the tumbler will begin to turn and a few seconds there-
after, the “FAN “ signal will be asserted.
IF BOTH AIR FLOW SWITCHES ARE NOT OPEN AT THIS TIME THE BLOWER WILL NOT START and A “HEATER FAULT” WILL OCCUR.
Both HEATER FAULT Indicators” will flash and the machine will come to a complete halt/stop until the “HEATER FAULT" reset push-button is pressed.
ONE or BOTH BURNERS DO NOT IGNITE
The dryer has two (2) burner boxes. Each burner box has its own Gas Valve, Spark Ignitor/Flame-Probe Assembly, and DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) Module.
DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) Module
When the dryer calls for heat, and ALL dryer safety switches are satisfied, a 24 VAC control signal is supplied to both DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) Modules. The DSI Module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicators will light “red” for approximately 1.5-seconds of pre-purge, the L.E.D. indicators will light “green”. Each DSI Module will energize its’ respective gas valve and provide an 8-second spark to its’ Spark Ignitor/Flame-Probe Assembly. The gas in both burner boxes should ignite. If ignition does not occur in one or both burners after 8-seconds, the flame will not be sensed by the Spark Ignitor/Flame-Probe Assembly and the DSI Module will go into the “LOCK-OUT” mode lighting the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator(s) “red” continuously. THERE ARE NO IGNITION RETRIES BY THE DSI MODULE. Stop the dryer at this point and restart another drying cycle. It may take several restarts to clear the gas supply piping of air.
NOTE: “HEATER FAULT” will occur during the initial set up of the machine, indicating that the burners
are not lighting due to air in the gas line.
GAS PRESSURE
The natural gas pressure supplied to the dryer must be between 6-inches and 12-inches of W.C. (water column) pressure. If the supply pressure is above 12-inches water column than an external regulator must be installed to reduce the gas supply pressure to between 6-inches and 12-inches of water column.
11
Once the flame has been established in both burner boxes, the natural gas outlet manifold pressure measured at each gas valve pressure tap must be 3-1/2 inches W.C. (water column) pressure. Connect a water tube manometer to the 1/8” F.P.T. gas pressure tap on the downstream side of each gas valve. There is a pressure regulator in both gas valves so the manifold pressure can be adjusted to 3-1/2” water column (W.C.). Unscrew the slotted regulator cover which is located on the top of each gas valve, and turn the regulator adjustment screw located underneath the cover (clockwise [CW] to increase manifold pressure and counterclockwise [CCW] to decrease manifold pressure).
MAN2633
The L.P. (liquid propane) gas pressure measured at each gas valve pressure tap must be 11-inches water column (W.C.) pressure, when the flame is established in both burner boxes. There is no means to adjust this pressure supplied with the dryer so the downstream L.P. pressure regulator must be adjusted to provide the 11­inch water column (W.C.) outlet manifold pressure. Connect a water tube manometer to the 1/8” F.P.T. gas pressure tap on the downstream side of each gas valve to measure the manifold pressure.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Once the Blower Motor starts, both the FRONT AIR FLOW SWITCH and the REAR AIR FLOW SWITCH must pull in to indicate that there is sufficient air flow through the machine for safe ignition of both the Front Burner and the Rear Burner.
Refer to the system ladder diagram for “HEAT” signal information. There are several safety devices that must be satisfied prior to ignition. Any one of these safety devices can cause NO IGNITION, therefore a “HEAT FAULT”...i.e., FRONT AIR FLOW SWITCH

SECTION II
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A. CLEANING
A schedule should be established for periodic inspection, cleaning, and removal of lint from various areas of the dryer, as well as throughout the duct work 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 air flow. If the guidelines in this section are met, an ADC dryer will provide many years of efficient, trouble-free, and - most importantly - safe operation.
WARNING: LINT FROM MOST FABRICS IS HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE. THE
ACCUMULATION OF LINT CAN CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING: KEEP DRYER AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE, and OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS and LIQUIDS.
NOTE: REMOVE POWER FROM THE MACHINE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE IN THE MACHINE.
NOTE: Suggested time intervals shown are for average usage which is considered six (6) to eight (8)
operational (running) hours per day.
SUGGESTED CLEANING SCHEDULE
EVERY THIRD or FOURTH LOAD
Clean the lint screen. A clogged lint screen will cause poor dryer performance. The lint screen is located in the lint drawer in the base of the dryer. Pull out the lint drawer, brush the lint off the lint screen, and remove the lint. Inspect the lint screen and replace if torn.
NOTE: The frequency of cleaning the lint screens can best be determined from experience at each
location.
WEEKLY
Open the hinged panels on each side of the tumbler section and remove any lint accumulation from the tumbler drive motor, drive shafts, gear reducer, drive belts, drive wheels, and drive shaft bearings.
Slide the lint basket all the way out of the dryer and clean any lint accumulation off of the temperature sensor bracket, which is located above the lint basket.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DISCONTINUE
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE DRYER.

SECTION IV
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of these codes, installation must conform to applicable AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS:
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION
and/or
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-LATEST EDITION
A. ENCLOSURE / AIR SUPPLY / EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: The following information is very brief and general. For detailed descriptions, refer to the
AD-310 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual (ADC Part No. 112192) or the AD-310 Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual (ADC Part No. 112191).
Bulkheads and partitions around the dryer should be made of noncombustible materials. Allowances should be made for the opening and closing of the control door and lint door. Also, allowances should be made in the rear and sides for ease of maintenance. Refer to appropriate Installation Manual (AD-310 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112192] or the AD-310 Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112191]) for recommended distances and minimum allowances required.
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch "fluttering" problems on gas dryers may result, and you also could have premature motor failure from overheating. The air supply must be given careful consideration to insure proper performance of each dryer.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning fumes. Make-up
air that is contaminated by dry cleaning fumes will result in irreparable damage to motors and other dryer components.
Exhaust duct work should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized duct work will create excessive back pressure which will result 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. Refer to appropriate Installation Manual (AD-310 Non-Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112192] or the AD-310 Tilting Installation/Operator's Manual [ADC Part No. 112191]) for more detail.
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCT WORK CAN
CREATE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
27
B. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS and GAS REQUIREMENTS
It is your responsibility to have ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms with local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, the applicable requirements of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-LATEST EDITION.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or ordinances and/or the requirements stipulated in
this manual can result in personal injury or component failure.
The dryer installation must meet the AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD; National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-LATEST EDITION, as well as, local codes and ordinances, and must be done by a qualified technician.
NOTE: Undersized gas piping will result in ignition problems and slow drying and can create a safety
hazard.
The dryer must be connected to the type of gas (natural or L.P.) indicated on the dryer data label. If this information does not agree with the type of gas available, contact the distributor who sold the dryer or contact the factory.
The gas input ratings shown on the dryer data label are for elevations up to 2,000 feet, unless elevation requirements of over 2,000 feet were specified at the time the dryer order was placed with the factory. The adjustment for dryers in the field for elevations over 2,000 feet are made by changing the burner orifices. If this adjustment is necessary, contact the distributor who sold the dryer or contact the factory.
ALL electrical connections, material, and workmanship must conform to
NOTE: Any burner changes must be made by a qualified technician.
C. OPERATIONAL SERVICE CHECK PROCEDURE
After performing any service or maintenance function, an operational check should be performed to insure that ALL components are performing properly.
1. Make a complete operational check of ALL the operating controls to insure that the timing is correct, temperature selection switches are functioning properly.
2. Make a complete operational check of ALL safety related circuits, door switches, hi-limit thermostat, sail switch, cycling thermostats, etc.

SECTION V
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION/REPLACEMENT
A. HEAT SECTION
The AD-310 dryer uses three (3) types of heat sources: natural gas, liquid propane (L.P.) gas, and steam. Natural Gas and L.P. (liquid propane) gas are not directly replaceable. The gas valves need to be modified to use other than the type of heat specified on the nameplate.
1. ADG-310 (gas) dryers utilizes a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) module to monitor that a flame is established. If for some reason the flame signal is lost, the DSI module will shut off the gas valve and not retry ignition (no try to restart the flame). A spark of approximately 14,000 volts is used to establish a flame. The DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module will turn the gas valve on and ignitor/flame-probe will spark for 8 seconds attempting a flame. Each time the dryer calls for heat the microprocessor controller (computer) will send a 24 VAC signal through the exhaust hi-limit, sail switch, and oven hi-limit. At that point, the DSI module will try for ignition.
DIRECT SPART IGNITION (DSI) SYSTEM COMPONENTS/FUNCTIONS
29
a. The Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module is a 24 VAC device
designed to be the "controller" of the DSI system. When activated by the dryer controls, this module constantly monitors and controls the functions of the DSI system (i.e., spark activation, gas valve off and on, flame verification, etc.). Additionally , the DSI Module has self diagnostic capabilities.
b. The Ignitor and Flame-Probe Assembly is located in the burner
flame area and is used to ignite the gas by use of a high voltage spark (approximately 14,000 volts) and to provide feedback information to the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) Module as to whether the burner flame is evident (on).
24 VAC
Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module
MAN3485
c. The Burner Hi-Limit Switch is a thermostat type switch located
in the burner. Its function is to discontinue heat (flame) in the event of an over temperature situation (above 330º F). For dryers manufactured as of May 26, 1998, the hi-limit must be manually reset once the device trips.
d. The Sail Switch Verification Assembly is located on the burner ,
downstream of the flame tubes. Its function is to detect whether or not there is sufficient air flow through the dryer. If the Sail Switch
is not in the open position prior to a drying cycle, the
blower circuit will not be activated.

e. The T umbler Hi-Limit Switch is a thermostat type switch located
above the Lint Basket. Its function is to discontinue heat (flame) in the event of an over temperature situation (above 225º F).
MAN3484
225º F Thermostat
f. The gas valve used in the dryer is of the redundant type which
means that the gas valve is actually two (2) gas valves in one; one in series with the other. This is a safety feature which provides protection against gas flow in the event that one of the valves does not seat properly. The valve also regulates the incoming gas pressure.
NOTE: THE DSI GAS VALVES ARE NOT FIELD
REPAIRABLE.
Redundant Gas Valve
g. Normal Operation of the Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) System (refer to the illustration on page 29).
1) The DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) System consists of a microprocessor-based control module, along with an Ignitor and Flame-Probe Assembly. This control utilizes a high voltage synchronous spark ignitor and a rectified flame sensor probe signal to locally control ALL basic functions in the gas burner.
On a call for heat by the dryers' controls, 24 VAC is applied to the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module at which time the DSI modules' L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator will light "RED" indicating that power has been established to the DSI module. Almost immediately (up to approximately 1.5-seconds [prepurge]) the indicator will light" GREEN," the gas valve opens and the spark burst will be evident (on) for approximately 8-seconds. The burner flame should now be established/confirmed.
If at this time the flame has not been established and confirmed, the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module will "LOCK-OUT" and the DSI modules' L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator will light "RED" and stay on continuously . T o reset or cancel the "LOCK-OUT" condition, open and close the main door then restart the dryer.
Once the burner flame is established and confirmed, the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module indicator will light "GREEN," and the burner system will continue through a normal heating cycle, where the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) system will cycle on and off as required by the dryers controls.
During the normal heating cycle, should a "FLAME-OUT" occur (i.e., severe air turbulence forces the flame away from the ignitor and flame-probe assembly), the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module shut the gas valve off and immediately try to reestablish the burner flame. The DSI module will attempt to light the burner ONLY ONCE. If flame is not established, the DSI module will "LOCK­OUT ." T o reset or cancel the "LOCK-OUT" condition, open and close the main door then restart the dryer.

1. Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Troubleshooting Terms (definitions)
a. DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) MODULE "RED" L.E.D. (Light Emitting Diode) INDICATOR LIGHT
This "red" L.E.D. (light emitting diode) light is located in the upper right corner of the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module (refer to the top illustration on page 30). This is a diagnostic indicator that simplifies the operational and troubleshooting procedures of the DSI system.
b. LOCK-OUT MODE - DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module "red" L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator
light stays on continuously. This indicates there is a system fault and most likely the fault is the DSI module itself.
c. FLAME-OUT - burner flame shut down by the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module due to lack of flame
verification. This condition occurs only after ignition is evident but is lost. The DSI system will immediately attempt to relight the burner.
d. RECYCLE - flame has been sensed but lost. Initiate a new sequence (
2. Troubleshooting and System Basic Diagnosis
a. Preliminary Steps
The following steps must be preformed to minimize the time required to isolate cause of fault.
1) DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator light is off (no "red" or "green" light).
a) Check for voltage (approximately 24 VAC) across the
DSI model terminals "TH" and "GND...
If voltage (approximately 24 VAC) is evident, then, there is a malfunction within the DSI module itself, and it must be replaced.
If there is no voltage present, then problem is not the DSI module or the ignition system, the problem elsewhere in the dryer (i.e., dryers' heat circuit [sail switch, hi-limit circuits], etc.).
THERE ARE NO RETRIES).
2) DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator lights "red" for approximately
1.5 seconds (prepurge). This indicates that functioning and power is being supplied to the DSI module.
3) DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator lights "green." This indicates a normal heating cycle. This also indicates that the preliminary diagnostics of the module has confirmed that the DSI module is functional.
4) DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator lights "red" continuously... LOCK-OUT MODE. This indicates that there is a system fault and most likely the fault is internal to the DSI module. To make sure, open and close the main door. Restart the dryer...if the module LOCKS-OUT ("red" L.E.D. indicator light stay on continuously) again, replace the DSI module.
ALL the controls (including ALL the safety circuits) are
34
If the dryer repeatedly has DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module "LOCK-OUT" failures, the cause may be due to high voltage not getting into the DSI module ignitor probe assembly.
(1) Check to insure that the red high voltage wire (between the ignitor spark electrode and the
DSI [Direct Spark Ignition] module) is not wrapped around the sensor probe wire (the wire between the DSI module FP terminal and the ignitor and flame-probe assembly). If the wires are touching one another, separate and secure in place AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER.
(2) Check to insure that the dryer is properly grounded and that the ground connections (GND) to
the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module are secure.
(3) If the problem persists, it is most likely to be in the external components (not the DSI [Direct
Spark Ignition] module), or wiring , due to a "FLAME-OUT" ... proceed as follows:
NOTE: Preliminary steps - DO NOT OMIT - to minimize the time required to troubleshoot this
system.
(a) Discontinue the electrical service to the dryer.
(b) Visually check the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module components for visual damage.
(c) Check wiring for loose connections, nicks or cracking at the ceramic insulator, or shorting
of the sensor to the burner.
(d) Inspect the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) ignitor and flame-probe assembly...
...check electrode for visible cracking at the ceramic insulator or shorting of sensor to burner
...check to insure that the flame sensor rod is positioned over the flame area
...check for carbon deposits on the flame sensor rod
...check to insure that there is a 1/8" gap between the ground rod and the ignitor spark electrode
b. After preforming these inspections and making corrections - if any - restore power to the dryer ... start the
dryer and operate through one (1) complete cycle to insure that ALL components are functioning properly. If a no heat condition persists refer to the Troubleshooting Flow Charts on page 37, page 38, and page 39.
1) To effectively use this information or the flow charts, each step must be completed in sequence, performing whatever test are suggested. After the completion of each test, the guide will direct the Service Technician to the next logical step in the troubleshoot sequence based on the outcome of the previous check.
2) Components should be replaced only after each step has been completed and replacements after each step has been completed and replacement is suggested in the flow chart. However, the experienced technician realizes that a loose connection or broken or shorted wire may be at fault where electrical components are concerned... and not necessarily the suspected component itself.

3. Troubleshooting and System Detailed Diagnosis
When the dryer calls for heat, 24 VAC from the step down transformer is applied to the "TH" and "GND" terminals of the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module. The DSI module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator will light "red" (for up to approximately 1.5-seconds [prepurge]) then the L.E.D. indicator will light "green"; the gas valve will be energized, and the spark burst will be evident (on) for approximately 8-seconds at the tip of the electrode flame-probe assembly. Flame should now be established and confirmed. If a flame sensed and confirmed by the ignitor and flame-probe sensor after the approximate 8-second spark burst, the DSI module will go into the "LOCK-OUT" mode and the L.E.D. will light "red" continuously. THERE
ARE NO RETRIES.
NOTE: If a fault is sensed, the "HEATER FAULT" indicator and the "End of Cycle" indicator will begin
to flash at a rate of one (1) flash per second. Both indicators will flash until the "HEATER FAULT" reset push-button has been reset/pressed.
To reset the dryer when a "HEATER FAULT" occurs, press the ("amber") "HEATER FAULT" reset push-button.
If a flame has been established and confirmed and then lost, the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module L.E.D. (light emitting diode) indicator will continue to light "green" and immediately a spark will be evident (on) for approximately 8-seconds. The flame should now be established and confirmed. If a flame is not sensed and confirmed by the ignitor and flame-probe sensor after the approximate 8-second spark burst, the DSI module will go into the "LOCK-OUT" mode and the L.E.D. will light "red" continuously. THERE ARE NO
RETRIES.

a. System Diagnosis
1) Gas Pressure
A gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap provided on every gas valve to assure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
There are two (2) types of devices commonly used to measure water column (W.C.) pressure. They are the spring and mechanical type gauge and the water column test gauge (manometers). The use of the spring and mechanical type gauges IS NOT RECOMMENDED because they are not always accurate. The preferred type of gauge is the manometer because it is a simple device to use and is highly accurate. A manometer is simply a glass or transparent plastic tube with a scale graduated in inches. When it is filled with water and pressure is applied, the water in the inner tube lowers, showing the exact water column (in W.C.) pressure in inches.
WARNING: Test ALL connections for leaks by brushing on a
soapy water solution. NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME!!!
a) Connect the water column test gauge (manometer) to the gas valve pressure tap (1/8" N.P.T.). Refer
to the illustration above.
b) Start the dryer... with the burner on, the correct water column pressure (W.C.) reading in inches
should be:
Natural Gas .......................... 3.5 - 4 inches W.C.
L.P. (liquid propane) Gas ....... 10.5 - 11 inches W.C.
When a gas dryer in first started (during initial time of installation or start-up), it has a tendency not to ignite on the first ignition attempt. This is due to the fact that the gas supply piping is filled with air, so it may take a few minutes for the air to be purged from the supply lines. During this purge period there may be insufficient gas pressure for ignition, which might cause the DSI module to go into the "LOCK-OUT" mode (the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY).
NOTE: "HEATER FAULT" will occur during the initial set-up of the dryer, indicating that the burners
are not lighting due to air in the gas line.
To reset the dryer when a "HEATER FAULT" occurs, press the ("amber") "HEATER FAULT" reset push-button.
c) If gas pressure is low, unscrew slotted regulator cover on top of the gas valve and turn regulator
(pressure) adjustment screw (located underneath the cover) clockwise (CW) to increase the pressure.

2) Ignitor and Flame-Probe Assembly
The ignitor and flame-probe assembly consists of a ceramic insulated ignitor electrode, a ground rod, and a ceramic insulated flame-probe electrode. The GAP between the ignitor electrode and the ground rod is set, and must be maintained at 1/8" +/- 1/32" (.1250 +/- .03121). When the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module provides the high synchronous spark (14,000 volts) through the high voltage (HV) lead, a spark is produced over the GAP. When this spark is produced, the gas valve is opened. Upon ignition, the flame probe electrode (of the ignitor and flame-probe assembly) has high voltage provided to it that supplies a small current to ground through the flame. Once the current is sensed, it initializes the DSI module to sustain the gas flow (from the gas valve).
IMPORTANT: THE GAP SETTING ON THE IGNITOR AND
FLAME-PROBE ASSEMBLY IS CRITICAL.
a) DSI Ignitor and Flame-Probe Assembly Adjustments
(1) The GAP on the ignitor and flame-probe
assembly must be set, and held at 1/8" +/­1/32" (.1250 +/- .03121). If this GAP is not
maintained (if the GAP is either to large or to small), the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module will indicate a system malfunction and go into the "LOCK-OUT" mode (the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY).
(a) To check and/or set the 1/8" GAP, use a DSI Gap Feeler Gauge or similar device to determine
GAP size. of the gap. If an adjustment is necessary, bend the ground rod to achieve the correct GAP, then recheck the 1/8" GAP with a feeler gauge.
(b) The ALIGNMENT of the ignitor and flame-probe assembly in relation to the GAP on the
ignitor electrode and ground rod must be maintained in as vertical (straight line) a position as possible (refer to the illustration on page 43) otherwise the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module will indicate a system malfunction and go into the "LOCK-OUT" mode (the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] indicator will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY).
(c) The POSITIONING of the ignitor and flame-probe assembly is extremely important because
it provides the necessary feedback information to the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module. The flame probe electrode must be POSITIONED 1/4" minimum into the flame path (refer to the illustration on page 43) and must be POSITIONED 1-inch maximum from the burner tube (refer to the illustration on page 43) otherwise the DSI module will indicate a system malfunction and go into the "LOCK-OUT" mode (the L.E.D. indicator will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY).
DO NOT USE FEELER TO SET THE GAP, use it only to determine the size
42
NOTE: To reset the dryer when a "HEATER FAULT" occurs, press the ("amber") "HEATER FAULT"
reset push-button.
3) Air Turbulence
If there is sail switch flutter due to air turbulence, or improper impellor (fan/blower) rotation, or a restriction in the exhaust duct work, the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module will cycle erratically. This in turn might cause the DSI module to "LOCK-OUT" (where the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] indicator will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY).
a) If air turbulence causes the flame to move away from the flame probe electrode (of the ignitor/
flame-probe assembly), or if the flame goes out completely during the heat (flame) cycle, the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module will attempt to reestablish a flame by going into a re-ignition cycle.
4) Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module
If there is some sort of operational interference in the DSI system, the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module (acting as the "controller" for the system) will go into a "LOCK-OUT" mode (where the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] indicator will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY).
a) Operational interference is any adverse condition (whether internal or external) to the system.
(Electrical noise is considered external noise interference because it can cause the DSI [Direct Spark Ignition] module to cycle erratically.)
NOTE: To reset the dryer when a "HEATER FAULT" occurs, press the ("amber") "HEATER FAULT"
reset push-button.
If the GAP, the ALIGNMENT, and the POSITION of the ignitor and flame-probe assembly are correct, if the gas flow and pressure is constant and consistent; if there is no adverse air turbulence; and if the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module remains in the "LOCK-OUT" mode (where the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] indicator will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY) then, there is a malfunction with the DSI module itself, and it must be replaced.
43
5) Wiring
If the DSI (Direct Spark Ignition) module is in the "LOCK-OUT" mode (where the L.E.D. [light emitting diode] indicator will LIGHT "RED" CONTINUOUSLY) , and the mechanical components have been checked (i.e., the ignitor/flame-probe assembly, the gas valve, etc.), then, there may be a problem somewhere in the DSI system wiring.
a) Check
connections at the DSI module and the ignitor and flame-probe assembly.
ALL the wiring within the Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, especially the ground
NOTE: Check for any possible damage to the ceramic insulators on the ignitor electrode and the
flame-probe electrode of the ignitor and flame-probe assembly.
b) Make sure the flame-probe electrode of the ignitor and flame-probe assembly is positioned no
more than one (1) inch maximum from the burner tube.
CAUTION: DO NOT LET THE IGNITOR AND FLAME-PROBE ASSEMBLY TOUCH
THE BURNER TUBES; OTHERWISE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WILL SHORT OUT.
6) Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) 24 VAC Transformer
The DSI transformer is designed to step down the operating voltage of the dryer to 24 VAC. This operates the DSI module. This transformer, like ALL transformers is two (2) sided;
a) Primary Side...
This is the incoming voltage side - 208 VAC, 230/240 VAC, 380 VAC, 416 VAC, 480 VAC - of the transformer.
b) Secondary Side...
This is the step down side - 24 VAC - of the transformer. (If the dryer is above 240 VAC a secondary voltage of 240 VAC will also be present.)
WARNING: 208 VAC and 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. ALL voltage connections
should be checked and confirmed according to the foil data label provided with the individual dryer. Any damage done to dryer components due to improper voltage connections will automatically VOID THE WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT: The ADC Service Department must be contacted prior to any wiring change or
conversion because, depending on the change or conversion required, some parts may have to be added, deleted, or changed. When contacting the ADC Service Department, they must be given the correct model number(s) and serial number(s) for the dryer(s).
NOTE: Any wiring changes or conversions should be accomplished by a QUALIFIED
ELECTRICAL TECHNICIAN.

14. Operate the dryer through one (1) complete drying cycle to insure proper operation.
46
D. STEAM COIL SYSTEM OPERATION
General Overview
The dryers' steam coil is constantly charged thereby eliminating repeated expansion and contraction and also provide instant heating to start the drying process. The steam damper, located on top of the steam coil, is the only temperature controlling device in this system. When the steam damper is open, ambient air is drawn through the coil providing heat to the dryer. When the steam damper is closed, ambient air is drawn directly into the tumbler, bypassing the coil, allowing a rapid cool down.
NOTE: With the dryer off or no air supply to the damper piston, the damper is in the Cool Down mode...
the coil is constantly charged.
1. 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.
IMPORTANT: Coil failure due to improper PH level will VOID THE WARRANTY.
47
2. Steam Damper Actuator System
The steam damper actuator system consists of a hinged damper plate, pneumatic piston, and a 24 volt solenoid valve with a needle valve to control the speed of the piston actuation.
On a call for heat, a 24 volt signal is applied to the 3-way/2-position solenoid valve. This signal switches the valve so that compressed air is sent to the piston. The piston rod extends, pushing the hinged steam damper plate to the open position. This allows room air to be drawn through the hot steam coil and then through the basket (tumbler).
When the temperature set point has been reached, the 24 volt signal is removed from the solenoid valve, so that the solenoid valve blocks the air supply to the piston, and air in the piston is bled to the atmosphere. The spring in the piston now retracts the piston rod, closing the steam damper. The steam damper plate now covers the steam coil and allows room air to bypass the coil before entering the basket (tumbler) for a rapid cool down.
The steam damper plate should open and close slowly and smoothly. The speed can be modulated by adjusting the needle valve knob. Turning the knob clockwise (CW) restricts the compressed air flow and slows the steam damper movement. Counterclockwise (CCW) adjustment speeds up the steam damper motion. Upon completion of the adjustment, tighten the needle valve's locking nut.

E. SPRINKLER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The sprinkler system is monitored by a microprocessor based temperature controller as a designated "FAIL- SAFE." The microprocessor circuit must have power in order to engage main power to the dryer. When cycling the dryer, if the temperature at the Resistive Temperature Device (RTD) reaches 575º F, one (1) set of contact in the controller will open, disabling the power (electric supply) to the dryer. Another set of contacts will close, sounding the alarm and turning on the sprinkler.
NOTE: The sprinkler as well as the alarm will remain on until the "amber" colored sprinkler reset button
is pressed and the temperature in the tumbler (basket) falls below 575º F (301.6 º C).
1. Description Of Components
a) Resistive Temperature Device (RTD)
The RTD is located above the tumbler (basket). The probe is a 100 (ohm) platinum RTD. As the temperature increases or decreases the resistance value corresponds to the ambient temperature (i.e., 100 = 32º F / 0º C ... 109 = 75º F / 24º C).
b) Sprinkler Valve
The sprinkler valve is a 2-way
, air piloted, normally closed valve.
With pilot air pressure applied, the valve opens allowing water to flow.
c) Sprinkler Solenoid Valve
The sprinkler solenoid valve is a 3-way/2-position solenoid valve that is used to supply pilot air to the sprinkler valve.

57
F. TILTING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The tilting system in the dryer, whether it be 1-way tilt or 2-way tilt, is controlled by the Micro-1 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) will determine if the dryer is safe to tilt based on inputs from several sources. If ALL conditions are met, the PLC will send a signal to the tilt relays which energize the appropriate tilt solenoid valve. Compressed air is then allowed to enter the cylinders raising the tumbler.
58
1. Speed Adjustment
The speed of the tilting action can be regulated by adjusting the set of flow control valves located on the pneumatic panel. Each set of cylinders, both front and rear, will have two (2) flow control valves. One valve will be the extend (up) air line and the other valve will be retract (down) air line. The speed of the cylinder is controlled by restricting the exhaust air flow from the cylinder. For example, if the front cylinders are extending, compressed air flows unrestricted into the cylinder causing the piston to move. The air being displaced (exhausted) from the opposite side of the cylinder can be restricted regulating the speed of extension.
2.
Tilting Solenoid Valve
The dryer uses a 3-position / 4-way / 5-port, spring centering double solenoid valve. With no power applied to either solenoid, the valve is in a spring centered blocked post state. In this mode, the dryers' tilting pistons will remain in their present state, not being able to exhaust air or receive air. When the left solenoid is energized with 24 VAC, the pilot air pushes the shuttle to the right enabling air to flow into the #2 port and exhausts #4 port. On 2-Way Tilt models, this is dependent on a supply of external pilot air from the #4 port of the opposite solenoid valve. When the right solenoid of the valve is energized, air flows through the #4 port and the #2 port exhausts the pilot air, the right side of the valve is always internal pilot.
The tilting solenoid valve has two (2) mufflers. The air is exhausted through these mufflers thereby quieting the air flow.
59
3. Tilting Pistons
The tilting piston is a double acting cylinder that has a 5-inch bore and an 14-inch stroke. When air is applied to the bottom port of the cylinder, the piston begins to extend and air is exhausted through the top port. Then, if air is applied to the top port, the bottom port will exhaust the air which will cause the piston to retract.

3. Blower (squirrel cage fan) Electrical Components
a) Blower (squirrel cage fan) Controls and Overloads
1) Thermal Magnetic Starter (TMS)
The thermal magnetic starter is used as a safety device to protect the motor from starting in a locked rotor condition. The overload has a dial setting on the face of the device. To set the overload, refer to your specific electrical diagrams. The overload is specifically designed for motor applications. It has a current curve built into it so the initial high current draw by the motor will not trip the overload. On the face of the overload, there are two (2) push buttons - "START" (Black or Tan - 1) and "STOP" (Red - 0) - the overload has to be in the "START" mode for the motor to run.
71

72
2) Auxiliary Contact Block
The Auxiliary Contact Block is mounted on the side of the overload. Its' function is to sense an over­load trip, thereby triggering a safety fault which will disable the drying cycle. A "DOOR" message will appear on the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) display on the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer).

73
I. FILTER and REGULATOR ASSEMBLY
The purpose of the filter is to remove bulk liquids and solid particles from the compressed air stream. The filter element provides mechanical separation of solids. Centrifugal force inside the filter bowl separates bulk liquids and larger solid particles.
The filter consists of a louver which causes a centrifugal spinning action to separate contaminants. A filter which mechanically separates contaminants is also present. The filter bowl collects the contaminants and a baffle prevents turbulence from picking up contaminants at the bottom of the bowl and returning them to the air stream.
1. Filter Maintenance
a. To remove filter element ...
Twist the filter bowl 1/8 turn clockwise (CW). Then pull the bowl down to expose the filter element. To remove the filter element, unscrew the baffle (this will allow element removal).
b. To clean filter element ...
The filter element can be cleaned with soap and water.
NOTE: When replacing the filter element bowl care must be
taken to ensure that the O-ring does not get pinched.
2. Regulator Operation
The adjustment knob simply acts upon a spring rest located on the spring and directly compresses the spring as it is adjusted. A non­rising low torque adjustment screw is used on this type of filter and regulator. The upper spring rest is located on top of the regulator spring and transmits force from the adjustment screw to the spring. Regulators use simple wire coil springs for controlling the downstream regulator pressure. The bonnet houses the adjustment spring and is used to help retain the diaphragm. The diaphragm moves up when the downstream pressure reaches its preset pressure level, which in turn closes the valve. A self-relieving regulator is designed to automatically relieve overpressure in the secondary side of the regulator.
FILTER / REGULATOR
NOTE: THIS SELF-RELIEVING FEATURE IS NOT DESIGNED TO BLEED THE DOWN-
STREAM PRESSURE.
Dryer must be provided with a clean, dry, regulated 80 PSI (+/- 10 PSI) air supply (equivalent volume - 9 cfh).
The regulator should be set at 80 PSI (+/- 10 PSI). To set pressure, pull the adjusting knob up and either turn the knob clockwise (CW) to increase the pressure or counterclockwise (CCW) to decrease the pressure.
74
J. DOOR SYSTEMS

1. Manual Door Description
The Manual Doors run on a single aluminum track with a wheel assembly mounted above the doors and a channel with teflon strips mounted on the bottom of the doors ...
a. For dryers manufactured as of November 1, 1995, there are trolley bolts located at the top of the doors to
secure the doors onto the track.
b. For dryers manufactured prior to November 1, 1995, there are two (2) adjustment plates located at the top
of the doors to secure the doors onto the track.
In the center portion on the top of the doors there is a magnet used in conjunction with proximity sensors which are mounted above the doors.
2. Pneumatic Automatic Description/Operation
a. Description
The Pneumatic Automatic Doors run on a single aluminum track mounted above the doors and a split track mounted on the bottom of the doors. The doors are held on the track by four (4) stainless steel wheel assemblies; two (2) are located on the top of the doors and two (2) are located on the bottom of the doors. Additionally, in the center portion on the top of the doors there is a magnet used in conjunction with proximity sensors which are mounted above the doors.
b. Operation
There are two (2) 1" bore x 18-3/8" stroke cable cylinders attached to the top of the doors to pneumatically open and close the doors. When air is applied into the outside ports of these cable cylinders the doors will open. If air is applied into the inside ports of these cable cylinders the doors will close. On each of the four (4) ports is a flow control valve used for adjusting the opening and closing speeds of the doors. These flow controls only vary the speed in the exhaust direction. Air to the cable cylinders is supplied through a 4-way valve. When 24 VAC is applied to the valve, the doors open... if no power is applied, the doors close. A 3-way valve is used to supply air to the 4-way valve.
If the "EMERGENCY STOP" (E-Stop) is engaged, the air is automatically exhausted so that the doors can be opened manually.
1) In a 2-Door application, there are two (2) additional cable cylinders a 4-way valve added for the operation of the rear doors.

K. Control and Electrical System
Ladder Diagram

83
CAUTION: When servicing the HIGH VOLTAGE section of the dryer, the ELECTRIC
SERVICE MUST BE DISABLED.
THE "EMERGENCY STOP" (E-Stop)
BUTTON DOES NOT DISABLE THE HIGH VOLTAGE TO THE DRYER.
1. Control/Electrical System Description
a. 3-Phase (3ø) Electrical Power
The 3-phase (3ø) electrical power for the dryer enters the dryer through the power distribution block located in the dryer base electrical box. It is then distributed to the blower (impellor/fan) motor, drive (tumbler/basket) motor, and transfer circuits.
1) Blower (squirrel cage fan) Motor
The Blower (squirrel cage fan) Motor circuit consists of a blower motor thermal magnetic overload. The overload current is adjustable by a dial located on the face of the overload. (Refer to the electrical specification diagram for correct current setting.)
Attached to the thermal magnetic starter is an auxiliary contact used to sense an overload trip. This produces a safety error so the dryer service is disabled (the dryer will not start).
In series with the thermal magnetic overload is the blower motor contactor. This device enables the supply voltage to reach the blower (squirrel cage fan) motor. The blower motor contactor is controlled by the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer). (Refer to Section b-1 on page 86 for micro- processor [computer] information.) When 24 VAC is applied to coil A1-A2, the contactor closes and enables the circuit.
The blower (squirrel cage fan) motor used for gas model dryers is 15 HP (horsepower) and for steam model dryers is 25 HP (horsepower). The motor wiring configuration is dependent on the specific voltage of the dryer. When wiring the motor, refer to the motor nameplate.
2) Drive (tumbler and basket) Motor
The Drive (tumbler and basket) Motor is supplied by the 3-phase (3ø) power source entering the drive motor thermal magnetic overload. The overload current is adjustable by a dial located on the face of the overload. (Refer to the electrical specification diagram for correct current setting.) In this circuit, the drive motor contactor follows the thermal magnetic overload.
The drive motor has two (2) separate sets of coils and two (2) separate sets of contacts. One (1) of these sets is for forward tumbler (basket and drum) rotation and the other for reverse tumbler (basket and drum) rotation. The thermal magnetic overloads and the contactors are located in the left hand electrical cabinet. The direction of the drive motor is determined by the phases going into the motor (i.e., in a reverse direction phase, L1 and L2 are switched). When viewing this contactor (from the front of the dryer), the left hand block connections are for the forward rotation direction (clockwise [CW]).
The drive (tumbler and basket) motor is a 5 HP (horsepower) motor. Refer to the motor nameplate for specific terminal box wiring.
84
3) 24 VAC Transformer
The 24 VAC transformer consists of fuse 1 (F1) and fuse 2 (F2) which is the primary fusing for the transformer. For the proper rating of these fuses refer to the specific electric diagram. The transformer is located in the right hand electrical cabinet.
Dryer models with an optional Sprinkler System have an energizing stop relay which will disable the dryer functions (shut the dryer down) in the event of a fire. NOT ENERGIZED (POWERED) THE DRYER WILL NOT OPERATE. The Energizing Stop Push Button is located on the front right electrical panel. On 2-Door models this Energizing Stop Push Button is located on the right rear side of the electrical panel (when viewed from the rear).
On dryer models manufactured for 208 volt or 240 volt electric service, the step down voltage for the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) is supplied from the primary side of the 24 VAC transformer. On dryers that are manufactured for 380 volts and higher, there is an additional secondary 240 VAC on the transformer that is used to supply the voltage required to operate the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) through fuse 4 (F4) and a fuse (F5) in 208/240 VAC applications.
4) 24 VAC Control Circuit
The secondary side of the 24 VAC transformer supplies 24 VAC to various control circuits through fuse 3 (F3) and a 20-amp fuse or an 8-amp fuse (fuse amperage [rating] is dependent on the voltage that the dryer was manufactured with).
IF THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IS
The first circuit is the control voltage on/off. Control voltage ( 24 VAC) goes through the "Master Off" (normally closed) switch and supplies voltage to the "Master On" (normally open) switch. When the "Master On" switch is momentarily engaged, the master control relay (MCR) engages. This closes the MCR-A contactor (which is in parallel with the "Master On" switch) which will keep the MCR enabled. If the power is interrupted or the "Master Off" switch is pressed the MCR will disengage. The MCR-B contactor supplies power to the rest of the 24 VAC circuits.
For dryers manufactured with Automatic Doors - the purpose of the supply air is to relieve pressure
on the automatic door pistons when an emergency stop is engaged.
5) Safety Circuits
The following circuit branches are to verify various safeties, if ALL conditions are met ...
a) The first two (2) items are the Auxiliary Contact located on the blower (squirrel cage fan) motor
and the Tumbler (basket) Motor Overload. If either of these devices trip, it will open up the safety circuit thereby preventing the dryer from operating.
b) Dryer Level Switches circuit branch ...
(1) On 1-way tilt models, this switch is in series with the dry enable.
(2) On 2-way tilt models ...one (1) pole of each of the two (2) level switches (LS1-A and LS2-A)
are in series with the dryer level relay and the other pole is in series with the opposite piston. IF THE OPPOSITE SIDE IS NOT LEVEL, THE DRYER WILL NOT TILT.
85
c) Front Doors Closed circuit branch.
There are two (2) magnetic proximity switches mounted in the door closed position and a magnet mounted on top of the doors. When this magnet aligns with the proximity switch, the contacts in the proximity switch close. When both doors are closed, the front doors closed relay (CR2) turns on.
(1) There are two (2) sets of contacts in the relay...one (1) set of contacts are in the dry enable
circuit branch and the other set go to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) input front doors closed.
d) Lint Drawer Closed circuit branch ...
The lint drawer closed switch is located in the front of the dryer. When the lint drawer is closed, it closes the switch contacts, powering the lint drawer closed relay. Then, the dry enable relay will close, supplying 24 VAC to the Phase 5 microprocessor (computer) door signal. This sequence will occur only if the following conditions are met;
(1) Blower (impellor/fan) Motor Overload is not tripped. (2) Drive (tumbler/basket) Motor Overload is not tripped. (3) Dryer is level. (4) Lint Drawer is closed. (5) Doors are closed.
b. Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer)
1) The Phase 5 Microprocessor Controller (computer) is powered by 240 VAC on Pin #7 and Pin #13. A jumper wire on Pin #1 to Pin #11 is required to configure the Phase 5 microprocessor (computer) for 240 VAC. The temperature sensor probe is a bullet shaped device that is located above the lint basket. This temperature probe is used to sense the temperature in the exhaust of the dryer. The temperature sensor is a two (2) terminal monolithic integrated circuit temperature transducer that provides an output current proportional to absolute temperature. The transducer acts as a high impedance temperature dependant current source of 1mA/ºK. The typical accuracy of this probe is +/- 2.7º F (+/- 1.5º C). In a case where the temperature reaches 220º F (104º C), the Phase 5 microprocessor (computer) will shut down and the L.E.D. (light emitting diode) will display "Hot." To restart a cycle the "CLEAR/STOP" button must first be pressed.

2) The Rotational Sensor is a magnetic proximity switch that is mounted on the side of the right hand 11-inch drive wheels. There is a magnet mounted to the side of the wheel hub. After each rotation of the wheel, the magnet passes by the proximity switch causing the contacts to close and pulse the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer). Whenever the magnet is over the proximity switch there should be contact closure.
3) There is an auxiliary keypad (touchpad) input to the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer).
A short between Pin #1 to Pin #5 of the 6-pin connector is like a "CLEAR/STOP" function on the keypad (touchpad). The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) will trigger a clear stop whenever the dryer is in an from running a drying cycle.
a) Other functions of the 6-pin connector are as follows:
(1) A connection of Pin #1 to Pin #2 will run "A" Cycle. (2) A connection of Pin #1 to Pin #3 will run "B" Cycle. (3) A connection of Pin #1 to Pin #6 will run "C" Cycle.
b) When a drying cycle is started, the blower (fan and impellor) output (Pin #5) switches on putting
24 VAC on the blower (fan and impellor) contactor coil, which in turn pulls in the contactor starting the blower motor turning. Through the contactor relay this also triggers an input signal to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) disabling the tilting function. Moments later, the tumbler (basket and drum) begins to rotate because the output on Pin #3 turns on thereby pulling in the tumbler (basket and drum) forward contactor. Next, the Heat "On/Off" (Pin #4) will turn on if there is a call for heat, suppling 24 VAC to the heat circuit through the safety circuits.
unsafe operating mode, then disable the dryer's Phase 5 microprocessor (computer)
(1) The first safety circuit is the Exhaust Hi-Limit which is located on the bracket above the lint
basket with the temperature sensor. On a temperature rise of 225º F or higher, the thermal switch opens breaking the heat circuit.
(2) A second safety circuit is the Burner Hi-Limit Switch located on the side of the burner. On a
temperature rise of 330º F or higher, the thermal switch opens breaking the heat circuit, this switch must be manually reset on models manufactured as of May 26, 1998.
(3) A third safety circuit is the Sail Switch which is attached to the front of the burner box. This
device pulls in when the impellor (fan and blower) is operating correctly and verifies proper air flow.
If
ALL the safeties are properly maintained, 24 VAC will enable the Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module and a try for ignition begins. The DSI module induces a spark (at the spark electrode) and then opens (energizes) the gas valve for 8-seconds attempting to light the burner. If after 8-seconds the burner does not light, the DSI module will go into a "LOCK-OUT" Mode (the gas valve will be de-energized and the spark will be removed from the ignitor) and will not try to light the burner again until power is again cycled to the DSI module. If the spark produces a flame then a microamp signal is monitored between the flame probe and ground which in turn will keep the burner on. The Heat "On" or "Off" (Pin #4 of the Phase 5 microprocessor controller [computer]) cycles the heat unless there is a fault at a safety sensor. At the end of a cycle the air jet turns on to clean off the impellor (fan and blower), which turns on Contact Relay #4, thereby signaling an input to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that the cycle is complete which then turns on a PLC output relay to turn on the "END OF CYCLE" (E.O.C.) light.
87
b. PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
1) The PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) can consist of one (1) or two (2) modules; a main module and in some cases an expansion module is used for additional inputs and outputs.
NOTE: The information listed below is generic in nature, refer to blueprints for specific details.
a) The main PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) module has eight (8) input relays which are
labeled #0 through #7 and six (6) output relays labeled #200 through #205.
(1) Input Relays
Input relays #0, #1, #2, and #3 are set up as users inputs to signal what specific function is to be performed (i.e., open-close door, load-unload tilted, open doors, and level dryer). These input relays are charted as 1 and 0 ( relay or an output relay in on, the appropriate L.E.D. (light emitting diode) on the PLC will be illuminated.
For input relay #4 to turn on, the left and right front doors must be completely open. Once these doors are completely open, the jog forward (input #5) and jog reverse (input #6) can turn on through the PLC which in turn rotates the tumbler (drum and basket) through either output relay #204 or output relay #205 providing the lint door is closed. This interlock is performed through PLC input #16 (lint door closed), or in some cases contactor B is used to interrupt the 24 VAC signal from reaching the drive contactors and the tilting solenoids. Rear door open (input relay #7) is used on 2 door dryer models to verify rear door status.
1 is logic on and 0 is logic off). When either an input
(2) Output Relays
Output relay #200 controls the open front door function. When this signal is energized, the pneumatic valve opens allowing air into the two (2) door cable cylinders, which in turn opens the front doors.
Output relay #201 controls the open rear door function.
The end of cycle (E.O.C.) - output relay #202 - switches on after an air jet signal is received. This output relay will stay illuminated until the dryer is attended to.
Output relay #203 is used to signal a heater fault.
Output relay #204 (drive forward) and output relay #205 (drive reverse) are used to perform jog functions.
b) The expansion PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) module has eight (8) inputs which are
labeled #10 through #17 and an six (6) output relays labeled #210 through #215.
(1) Input Relays
A fan on or off signal (input #10) determines if the dryer is operating. If the dryer is operating, the door function and tilt function shut down.
Input #11 is the heater fault reset. When the dryer is in a heater fault, an input (at input #11) will reset the fault.
88
Input #12 is the heat on status. It is used to monitor the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) heat output. Input #12 in conjunction with input #13 (gas valve status), the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) will monitor for a heater fault condition.
Input #14 indicates that the drying cycle is done (air jet signal). Once the output relay of the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) turns on contact relay #4, input #14 is turned on. This in turn signals the PLC to illuminate the "END OF CYCLE" (E.O.C.) L.E.D. (light emitting diode) until the dryer is attended to.
Front door closed (input #15) is a safety circuit used to lock out the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) from a drying cycle unless the doors are closed.
Lint door closed (input #16) monitors/verifies that the lint door is closed.
The front down/rear down/dryer level (input #17) is another safety device used so that a drying cycle

cannot be initiated unless the dryer is in the level position.
Output relay #211 controls the air supply to the bottom of the pneumatic pistons to tilt the front of the dryer up, provided that the rear of the dryer is in the level position.
Output relay #212 is used to turn on the fan and cool the load after a heater fault.
Output relay #213 controls the air supply to the top of the pneumatic pistons to tilt the rear of the dryer down.
Output relay #214 controls the air supply to the bottom of the pneumatic pistons to tilt the rear
of the dryer. Rear up (output relay #214) applies power to the S6 rear up solenoid through the front down level switch (LS1B).
The dryer "CLEAR/STOP" output (relay #215) is used to lock out the Phase 5 microprocessor (computer) from running a drying cycle. If the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) has input #4 (front door open) and input #10 (blower [squirrel cage fan] on), or input #7 (lint door closed), input #15 (front door closed), or input #17 (dryer level) are off, then the PLC will close output relay #215 (dryer "CLEAR/STOP") so that a drying cycle cannot be initiated.

L. TUMBLER (Basket) SYSTEM
1. Tumbler Drive System
The tumbler (basket) is supported and driven by four (4) 11-inch diameter drive wheel assemblies. Two (2) of these wheels are attached to a 1-1/2" diameter idler shaft, while the other two (2) are attached to a 1-1/2" diameter drive shaft. Each of the wheels is fastened to the shafts by a trantorque keyless locking bushing. The trantorque is made up of three (3) pieces; an inner collar, an outer sleeve, and a locking nut. The inner and outer elements have matching opposing tapers. As a result, when the nut is tightened, the trantorque contracts onto the shaft and expands into the drive wheel hub locking the wheel on to the shaft. required.
The idler shaft and drive shaft are each supported by two (2) 1-1/2" diameter pillow block bearings. These bearings sit on slotted support channels and can be moved inward or outward by the adjustment bolts. This results in raising or lowering the tumbler (basket).
The drive system consists of a shaft mounted gear reducer, two (2) V-belts, and a 5 HP drive motor. Belt tension can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the gear reducer turnbuckle.
T o keep the tumbler (basket) in the middle of the dryer a series of retaining wheels are used in the front and rear of the dryer. The retaining wheels run along the vertical edge of the tumbler (basket) rings. These keep the tumbler from rubbing on the front and rear panels of the dryer.
