and is not considered a normal operating mode.
key will pause the dryer. If the dryer is paused, pressing the “HI” , “MED” , or “LO”
key will show the RPMs of the basket (tumbler).
D. SCROLLING RATE
When in a menu item that has a numeric range, this feature will vary the scrolling rate as you scroll through the
numeric range to help decrease the programming time. The “HI” and “LO” keys are used to increase and
decrease the values in a menu item. When increasing or decreasing a value in a menu item, if you hold the “HI”
or “LO” key for more than 3-seconds the scrolling rate will change to a faster rate.
E. PAUSE MODE
If the “PAUSE” key is pressed and the door is not opened, the dryer will restart in 20-seconds. If the
“PAUSE” key is pressed and the dryer door is opened and left open, the dryer will wait for the pause time
defined in PL #01 to expire. Once the pause time expires, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
will begin to count down the dry time. If the dryer door is opened without first pressing the “P AUSE” key , the
Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will continue to count down the dry time.

H. ACCESSING COIN VAULT
The coin vault can be accessed by placing the program switch into the “UP” position. Once the program switch
is in the “UP” position, press the “HI” key. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will now
display the amount of money in the coin vault. Press the “HI” key again and the Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) will ask to “CLEAR COIN VAULT TOTAL?” Press “PAUSE” for “NO” or press
“MED” for “YES”.
I. CLEARING FAULT RECORDS AND CREDIT
This feature allows the user to reset the coin vault, clear any credit still available for a cycle and ALL fault
records. In order to activate this feature the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) needs to be
powered down and then restarted. Immediately after power has been applied to the Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer), press and hold the “PAUSE” key and “HI” key simultaneously. The Phase 7 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the user with the following message “CLEAR FAULT
RECORDS AND CREDIT?” Pressing “PAUSE” and any other key will indicate a YES, while pressing any
key other than “PAUSE” will indicate a NO. Once the fault records, coin vault and credit are cleared, there
is no way of restoring this information.
This program keeps items wrinkle-free when they are not removed from the dryer promptly at the end of the
drying cycle and/or cooling cycle.
When the drying and cooling cycles are completed, the dryer will shut off, the tone will sound, and the liquid
crystal display (L.C.D.) will read “CYCLE DONE”. If the door is not opened, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) will wait an initial 15 minutes delay time. Once the initial 15 minute delay time has expired,
the fan will start and the basket (tumbler) will rotate (without heat) for an ON time of 15-seconds. When the fan
and basket start, the display will read “WRINKLE GUARD”. Immediately following the 15-second ON time,
the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will go into a 5 minute OFF time at which point it will
display “CYCLE DONE”. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process of
15-seconds “ON” and 5 minutes “OFF” until either the doors are opened or 99 minutes have elapsed, whichever
comes first. Prior to each ON time, there is a 3-beep warning that the fan and basket (tumbler) rotation are
about to start. The beeps at the end of the Wrinkle Guard Cycle can be programmed to be ON/OFF. Refer to
page 14 for PL #01 – SELECT BUZZER MODE.
NOTE: The following information is an explanation of the Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing
(S.A.F .E.) system functionality . This feature is programmed at the factory and affects dryers
that are equipped with the S.A.F .E. system.
K. S.A.F.E. SYSTEM
While the dryer is in an idle state, or 20-seconds after the heat turns off, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) monitors the S.A.F .E. temperature probe located in the top of the basket (tumbler) chamber
and records the minimum temperature. If the minimum recorded S.A.F.E. probe temperature is greater than
120°F (48°C) and the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects a 50° rise in temperature, this
will be the trip point, and the S.A.F.E. routine will activate.
While a drying cycle is in process and the heat has turned on at least once, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) monitors the exhaust temperature transducer. If the drying cycle temperature set point is
set greater than 160°F (71°C) and the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) detects an exhaust
temperature rise 25°F greater than set point, this will be the trip point, and the S.A.F.E. routine will activate. If
set point is below 160°F (71°C), the trip point will be 185°F (85°C).
Once the S.A.F.E. routine is activated, the display will read “S.A.F.E. System Activated”, and water will be
injected into the basket (tumbler) chamber. Anytime water is being injected into the basket (tumbler), the basket
(tumbler) drive will turn the load for 1-second every 15-seconds. This process will continue for a minimum of 2
minutes. After 2 minutes have elapsed, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will check if the
temperature remained above trip point; if so, water will remain on. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will continue to check if temperature is above trip point every 30-seconds. If the water has been on
for a constant 10 minutes, the water will be turned off regardless of the temperature, and the display will read
“S.A.F.E. System Was Activated”. If the temperature has dropped below trip point, the Phase 7 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will turn off the water prior to 10 minutes.

the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will remain displaying “READY” until the AMOUNT
TO START has been met, at this point the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will display
“SELECT TEMP TO START”. The “READY, INSERT AMOUNT TO START” option is used when the
dryer has its own coin acceptor installed and wishes to have the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
board display the AMOUNT TO START. When in this option the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will display “READY, INSERT $XX.XX TO START”. Once a coin is inserted, the Phase 7 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will display “ADD XX TO START” until the AMOUNT T O START has
been met, at which time the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will display “SELECT TEMP
TO START”.

This location determines whether the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will use the thermistor
probe to monitor the axial temperature in an axial dryer. This menu can be toggled ON and OFF. When the
option is turned on, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
will be configured to an axial dryer .
NOTE: In an axial configuration, the new exhaust probe temperature range for drying cycles will be
between 100°F and 150°F .
THERMISTOR TEMP SET POINT 100 TO 400°F
This location is only active when the AXIAL THERMISTOR INPUT has been turned ON. If the AXIAL
THERMISTOR INPUT is OFF , this location will display NOT A VAILABLE. When the AXIAL THERMISTOR
INPUT is ON, this location will determine at what temperature the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will cycle the heat, using the temperature reading from the thermistor probe.
PL #03 – HI KEY, PL #04 – MED KEY, PL #05 – LO KEY SETTINGS
TIME FOR AMOUNT TO ST ART 1 TO 99 MINUTES
This location determines the time that is vended once the AMOUNT TO START is met. It is programmable
from 1 minute to 99 minutes, in 1 minute increments. Each temperature setting has its own TIME FOR AMOUNT
TO START so that each temperature setting can charge at a different rate.
Once the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is in Pause Mode and the Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) is displaying “CYCLE P AUSED” for Coin Mode or “CYCLE P AUSED...SELECT TEMP
TO RESTART OR PAUSE TO CLEAR CYCLE” for Free Mode, the user can restart the dryer in HI, MED,
or LO.
COIN MODE
In Coin Mode, when the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is set to Accumulative Time Mode
and a cycle is started, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will calculate how much time is
available for the temperature selected by using the TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START for the temperature key
selected and the AMOUNT TO START. If the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is paused
and a new temperature key is selected the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will calculate how
much time is left in the cycle for the new temperature selected. These calculations are based on the TIME FOR
AMOUNT TO START for the new temperature key and the amount of credit that was available at the time the
Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) was placed into Pause Mode.
FREE MODE
In Free Mode the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will use the TIME FOR AMOUNT TO
START for the temperature key selected to determine how much time is available for the cycle started.
16American Dryer Corp.11319 2-5
When the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is placed into Pause Mode, the Phase 7 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will calculate a ratio of how much time was left in the cycle at the time the
Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) was placed into Pause Mode and the TIME FOR AMOUNT
TO START for the temperature key that was previously selected. Once this ratio is determined, the Phase 7
coin microprocessor controller (computer) will use the same ratio to determine how much time is left in the
cycle, when a new temperature key is selected. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will
multiply the TIME FOR AMOUNT TO ST AR T for the new temperature key by the ratio and that will determine
how much time is left in the cycle.
TIME FOR TOP OFF 1 TO 99 MINUTES
This location determines the time that is vended once the AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF is met. This is programmable
from 1 minute to 99 minutes, in 1 minute increments. Each temperature setting has its own TIME FOR TOP
OFF so that each temperature setting can charge at a different rate.
TIME FOR TOP OFF is only used when the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is set in
Accumulative Coin Mode. When a cycle is started, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) uses
TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START 1 TO 99 MINUTES to determine the initial amount of time vended for a
temperature key. Once a cycle is started, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will then
reference this TIME FOR TOP OFF for any additional time needed, before any additional time is vended the
user will first need to meet the AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF. When a cycle is restarted from Pause Mode, the
Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will calculate how much time is left in the cycle for the new
temperature selected. These calculations are based on a combination of the TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START
and TIME FOR TOP OFF for the new temperature key selected and the amount of credit that was available at
the time the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) was placed into Pause Mode. In Accumulative
Coin Mode, the AMOUNT TO START and AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF can differ, so the rate charged for
TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START and TIME FOR TOP OFF can be different. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) accounts for the different rates by tracking how much credit is available from AMOUNT
TO ST ART and the credit that is available from TIME FOR TOP OFF. Using these ratios of credit and time, the
Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will determine how much time is left in the cycle for the new
temperature key selected.
ENTER HIGH DRY TEMPERATURE 100 TO 190°F
Each temperature cycle “HIGH”, “MEDIUM”, and “LOW” can be programmed to a dry temperature ranging
from 100°F to 190°F (38°C to 87°C) in Radial Mode or 100°F to 150°F (38°C to 66°C) in Axial Mode.
COOL TIME 0 TO 9 MINUTES
Cool down time ranges from 0 to 9 minutes. The cool down time occurs at the end of a dry cycle. If your cool
down time is set to 4 minutes, the last 4 minutes of the dry cycle will be in Cool Down Mode.
The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) can be programmed to display ALL currency in one (1)
of the following currency symbols, a token mode, none, and no symbol or decimal point.
USD / UK Pound / EURO / Belgium Franc / French Franc / Yen / Lira / Token / None / No Symbol or Decimal
NOTE: When the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is set to TOKEN ALL of the
coin related menu items will change from currency to whole numbers. The LEFT and RIGHT
COIN VALUES will change to a default of one (1) token. The AMOUNT TO ST AR T and
AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF will also default to one (1). If the currency symbol is changed
back to a currency symbol these menu items will change back to factory defaults. The default
setting are LEFT COIN DENOMINA TION – 0.25, RIGHT COIN DENOMINA TION –
0.10, AMOUNT T O START – 0.25, and AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF – 0.25.
NOTE: Any time the Currency Symbol menu is accessed, the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) will clear any credit available on the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) and will also reset the coin vault total.
SELECT VENDING MODE
The Vending Mode determines how the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will vend time to a
customer when a coin is inserted into the dryer. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) uses
this parameter to determine whether the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is in Accumulative
Time or Accumulative Coin Mode. Depending on which mode the Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) is in, it will use a combination of the following program locations to determine how much time will be
vended to the customer.
PL #03, PL #04, PL #05 – TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START
PL #06 – LEFT COIN DENOMINATION
PL #06 – RIGHT COIN DENOMINATION
PL #06 – AMOUNT TO START
PL #06 – AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF
ACCUMULA TIVE TIME
In Accumulative Time Mode, after the initial AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) has been met, each additional
coin afterward will have a specific value in time, which is determined by TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START
(PL #03, PL #04, or PL #05) and AMOUNT TO START (PL #06).

Single Coin Acceptor
Example No. 1: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) is
25¢, the HI key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #03) is 30 minutes. Each coin
entered into the dryer will yield 30 minutes.
(TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START [PL #03]) = Vended Time
(25¢/25¢)(30) = 30 minutes
Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) is
50¢, the MED key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #04) is 30 minutes. The insertion
of the first two (2) coins into the dryer will yield 30 minutes; each additional coin entered into
the dryer will yield 15 minutes.
(TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START [PL # 04]) = Vended Time
(50¢/50¢)(30) = 30 minutes
(25¢/50¢)(30) = 15 minutes
Dual Coin Acceptor
Example No. 1: If the dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START
(PL #06) is 25¢, the LO key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #05) is 15 minutes.
After the initial AMOUNT T O START (PL #06) has been met, each additional 10¢ will yield
6 minutes and each additional 25¢ will yield 15 minutes.
Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START
(PL #06) is 35¢, the HI key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #03) is 14 minutes.
After the initial AMOUNT T O START (PL #06) has been met, each additional 10¢ will yield
4 minutes and each additional 25¢ will yield 10 minutes.
(TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START [PL #03]) = Vended Time
(10¢/35¢)(14) = 4 minutes
(RIGHT COIN DENOMINATION [PL #06] / AMOUNT TO START [PL #06])
(TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START [PL #03]) = Vended Time
(25¢/35¢)(14) = 10 minutes
NOTE: If the vend time cannot be divided evenly by the AMOUNT TO ST A RT , the TIME FOR
AMOUNT TO ST AR T will calculate precisely the amount of time entitled to the purchaser .
ACCUMULA TIVE COIN
In Accumulative Coin Mode, additional time can only be achieved when the AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF
(PL #06) has been inserted.
If a coin is inserted into the dryer, which is less than the AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF the Phase 7 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) will prompt the user to add more credit for more time with the following
message “ADD XX FOR ADDITIONAL TIME”. The Phase 7 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will
scroll this message for 30-seconds and then will return to the normal drying cycle information. The credit that
was just inserted will be kept in escrow until more credit is inserted to meet the AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF, or
the cycle finishes. In the event that the cycle finishes, any credit that was left in escrow will now be applied to
the next cycle. Below are examples of different scenarios in Accumulative Coin Mode.
Single Coin Acceptor
Example No. 1: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) is
50¢, AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF (PL #06) is 50¢, the HI key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO
START (PL #03) is 24 minutes, and the HI key TIME FOR TOP OFF (PL #03) is 12
minutes. The initial first two (2) coins will yield 24 minutes and each additional two (2) coins
entered into the dryer will yield 12 minutes; no time will be vended if only one (1) coin is
inserted.
PL #03 (TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START) .............. 2 4
PL #03 (TIME FOR TOP OFF) ..................................... 1 2
PL #06 (AMOUNT TO START) .................................... 5 0
PL #06 (AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF) ............................. 5 0
20American Dryer Corp.11319 2-5
Formula: (AMOUNT TO START [PL #06]) = Vended Time is TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #03)
50¢ = 24 minutes
(AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF [PL #06]) = Vended Time is TIME FOR TOP OFF (PL #03)
50¢ = 12 minutes
Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) is
50¢, AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF (PL #06) is 25¢, the MED key TIME FOR AMOUNT TO
START (PL #04) is 24 minutes, and the MED key TIME FOR T OP OFF is 12 minutes. The
initial first two (2) coins will yield 24 minutes and each additional coin entered into the dryer
will yield 12 minutes.
After the AMOUNT TO START (PL #06) has been met, each additional coin entered into
the dryer will yield 12 minutes.
PL #04 (TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START) .............. 2 4
PL #04 (TIME FOR TOP OFF) ..................................... 1 2
PL #06 (AMOUNT TO START) .................................... 5 0
PL #06 (AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF) ............................. 2 5
Formula: (AMOUNT TO START [PL #06]) = Vended Time is TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START (PL #04)
50¢ = 24 minutes
(AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF [PL #06]) = Vended Time is TIME FOR TOP OFF (PL #04)
25¢ = 12 minutes
Dual Coin Acceptor
Example No. 1: If the dryer is equipped with a 10¢/25¢ dual coin acceptor and the AMOUNT TO START
(PL #06) is 50¢, the LO key AMOUNT FOR TOP OFF (PL #06) is 20¢, the LO key TIME
FOR AMOUNT T O START (PL #05) is 20 minutes, and LO key TIME FOR TOP OFF is 10
minutes. After the initial AMOUNT TO ST ART (PL #06) has been met, each additional 20¢
will yield 10 minutes and each additional 25¢ will yield 10 minutes with 5¢ left in escrow.
Each time a 25¢ coin is inserted, the remaining 5¢ will be added to escrow . Once the amount
in escrow reaches 20¢, another 10 minutes will be vended.
