SECTION I

INTRODUCTION

The Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer system is a fully programmable, highly sophisticated dryer control system. American Dryer Corporation has designed the Phase 5 DMC (computer) to be the most versatile and reliable coin-op control system available.

To eliminate as many moving parts as possible, ALL Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer programming is done through the membrane switch on the front of the control panel. The switch (PS) that puts the Phase 5 DMC computer into the program mode is a single, sealed, military specification program switch. This Program Switch (PS) eliminates the possibility of switch failure due to an accumulation of lint or moisture.

Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) Computer

PROGRAMMABLE

Changes in programs are made at the temperature keyboard (touch pad) selection and actual programs are displayed for verification.

ADJUSTABLE TIME

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

COIN ACCEPTOR DENOMINATIONS (Coin Models ONLY)

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

AMOUNT TO START (Coin Models ONLY)

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

ACCUMULATIVE TIME (Coin Models ONLY)

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 (Coin Models ONLY)

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 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer calculates the vended time.

112119-37 www.adclaundry.com 3

ACCUMULATIVE COIN (Coin Models ONLY)

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

any minimum amount.

COIN COUNT (Coin Models ONLY)

The number of coins inserted (up to 9999), including a separate display program for optional dual coin acceptors,

can be viewed through the Phase 5 DMC computer’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display.

BAD COIN LOCKOUT (Coin Models ONLY)

Each coin entry is monitored. Should someone tamper with the coin acceptor or attempt to insert a foreign object,

the Phase 5 DMC (computer) will “LOCK UP” and will not accept any entries until the reset time has elapsed

(approximately 15-seconds). Once the reset time has expired, the Phase 5 DMC (computer) will automatically

reset itself for the next coin entry.

TEMPERATURE CONVERSION

When the temperature conversion status is changed (i.e., from °F to °C), the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor

Controller (DMC) computer will automatically convert ALL temperature related programs/parameters from

Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa. The Phase 5 DMC (computer) will perform this conversion within 2° C

(Celsius). The programs affected are:

1. Temperature Display Mode

2. Temperature Selections

3. Cool Down Temperatures

DRYING TEMPERATURES

Any of the three (3) temperature selections (HI/LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum of 110° F to a

maximum of 150° F in five-degree increments or from a minimum of 43° C to a maximum of 66° C in one-degree

increments. Actual temperature programs are displayed at time of programming for verification.

COOL DOWN TIME

All three (3) temperature selections are programmable from a minimum of 0 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 100° F in five-degree increments or from a minimum of 21° C to a maximum of 38° C in

one-degree increments.

4 American Dryer Corp. 112119- 37

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

This program selection uses ADC’s patented Auto-Dry cycle. The Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer will calculate the percent of the dryness and read “donE” when complete. The Phase 5 DMC (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.

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 cycle. 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 (3) temperature selections. When set in the “Free Dry” Mode, the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) 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 Phase 5 DMC computer’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will cycle back and forth between “FILL” and “FrEE,” unless otherwise programmed. For O.P.L. dryer models, this program (“FrEE”) is active (and the Phase 5 DMC computer is programmed to read only “FILL”).

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 end of the drying cycle and cooling cycle 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.”

TEMPERATURE 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 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer to help indicate failure.

112119-37 www.adclaundry.com 5

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 basket (tumbler). If the basket (tumbler) is not rotating, the Phase 5

Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) 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 active mode or

the inactive mode.

NOTE: This program can only be utilized on dryers manufactured with the Rotational Sensor option.

BATTERY BACKUP (Optional)

This feature allows the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer to maintain its time status

should a momentary power interruption occur while the dryer cycle is in progress.

DUAL USAGE (Coin/OPL)

The Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer board is the same computer board used for both

Coin and Non-Coin (O.P.L.) applications.

SECTION IV

PROGRAM SELECTIONS

NOTE: Programs are stored in the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer memory

and are cataloged as Program Locations (PL).

TEMPERATURE DISPLAY MODE

By closing the Program Switch (PS) located on the back side of the Phase 5 DMC (computer) each light emitting

diode (L.E.D.) display will read the temperature for the appropriate basket/tumbler (the upper L.E.D. display for

the top basket [tumbler] and the lower L.E.D. display for the bottom basket [tumbler]) in either Fahrenheit (°F)

or Celsius (°C), depending on how the temperature conversion status is set 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 DMC (computer) Program Switch (PS) is

closed.

12 American Dryer Corp. 112119- 37

LEFT COIN COUNT (LCC)/RIGHT COIN COUNT (rCC)

With the Program Switch (PS) closed (no cycle in progress...either basket/tumbler) and the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display reading the temperature in the dryer, pressing either the “HI TEMP” or “LO TEMP” keys allows the operator to review the left coin count and the right coin count. If the operator presses the “HI TEMP” key, the Phase 5 DMC (computer) upper L.E.D. display will read “LCC” (left coin count) and the lower L.E.D. display will read the actual coin count (in units or actual number of coin inserted...not the monetary amount). To exit the left coin count leaving the existing coin count in memory, press the “PERM PRESS” key. To cancel the left coin count, while in the left coin count mode with the L.E.D. display reading “LCC,” press the “HI TEMP” key twice and the coin count will be zeroed and the L.E.D. will return to the Temperature Display Mode. To view the right coin count (“rCC”) which is for optional dual coin acceptor models ONLY - press the “LO TEMP” key and the upper L.E.D. display will read “rCC” (right coin count) and the lower L.E.D. display will read the actual coin count. To exit the right coin count leaving the existing coin count in memory, press the “PERM PRESS” key. To cancel the right coin count, while in the right coin count mode with the L.E.D. display reading “CC,” press the “HI TEMP” key twice and the coin count will be zeroed and the L.E.D. will return to the Temperature Display Mode.

Each coin count (“LCC” and “rCC”) is accumulative up to “9999”. The coin counts will be retained in the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer’s memory up until the coin count is cleared manually, as described in the paragraph above, or if the dryer is not equipped with the optional battery backup and there is a power interruption to the Phase 5 DMC (computer).

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) (Patent 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.

Each coin count (“LCC” and “rCC”) is accumulative up to “9999.” The coin counts will be retained in the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer’s memory up until the coin count is cleared manually, as described in the paragraph above, or if the dryer is not equipped with the optional battery backup and there is a power interruption to the Phase 5 DMC (computer).

112119-37 www.adclaundry.com 13

NOTE: When programming, to use the Automatic Mode (“AUtO”) (Patent No. 4,827,627), the

following parameters/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

TIMED MODE (tInE)

When this parameter is selected (‘tInE”) and the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) 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-Wrinkle Program.

ANTI-WRINKLE PROGRAM (Grd)

This feature can be used in conjunction with any of the three (3) 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 light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will read “donE.” If the door is not

opened, the Phase 5 DMC (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 DMC

(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 To Start” (“AtSt”), or

“FILL” and/or “FrEE.”

NOTE: When programming the use of the Anti-Wrinkle Program (“Grd”), the following parameters/

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

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/tone (“nbUZ”) sound.

FREE DRY MODE (FrEE)

The Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer can be programmed to run without the insertion of coins. When the Phase 5 DMC (computer) is set 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)

PL11 ................................ “tFAS” (Time for 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.

COIN MODE (Coin)

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

NOTE: When programming the use of the Coin Mode, (“Coin”), the following parameters/programs need

to be checked and/or changed accordingly:

PL01 ................................ “AUtO” (Automatic Drying Cycle) or

................................ “tInE” (Timed Drying Cycle)

................................ “Coin”

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 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer is set in this program status (“FLS”) it allows the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) readout to display “FILL” (no cycle in progress), and the “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 Phase 5 DMC (computer) will then prompt you on whether you would like “FILL” displayed or the “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) or, in the case of Free Dry, “FrEE.”

BAD COIN LOCKOUT STATUS (bCLO)

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 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer will LOCK

UP and not accept any entries until the reset time has elapsed (approximately 15-seconds). Once the reset time

has expired, the Phase 5 DMC (computer) will automatically reset itself for the next coin entry.

BAD COIN RESET (bCrS)

When set in this program (“bCrS”), the Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) 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 DMC (computer) will not accept the entry and will automatically

reset itself 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 “Time For Amount To Start” (“tFAS”) is determined by a Phase 5 Dual Microprocessor Controller (DMC) computer calculation. There is no calculation required by the owner.

Formula: (LCdE/AtSt)(tFAS) = Vended Time for “ LCdE” (25¢/50¢)(30) = 15 Minutes

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

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

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