14American Dryer Corp.113202-25
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be
positioned approximately 3 feet (0.91 meters) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation,
maintenance, and service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The
clearance between the bulkhead header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not
extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to the rear of the dryer front. The bulkhead facing must not be closed in
ALL the way to the top of the dryer. A 2-inch (5.08 cm) clearance is required.
NOTE: Bulkhead facing should not be installed until after dryer is in place. Ceiling area must be
located a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the top of the dryer . Even though a
minimum of only 12-inches (30.48 cm) is required, 18-inches (45.72 cm) or more is suggested
for steam dryers and especially in cases where sprinkler heads are over the dryers.
NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 18-inches (45.72 cm)
above the dryer console (module) is suggested. Dryers may be positioned sidewall to
sidewall; however, 1 or 2-inches (2.54 cm or 5.08 cm) is suggested between dryers (or wall)
for ease of installation and maintenance. Allowances must be made for the opening and
closing of the control and lint doors.
113202 - 25www.adclaundry.com15
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
This appliance may only be installed in a room that meets the appropriate ventilation requirements specified in the
national installation regulations.
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
switch “fluttering” problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An
unrestricted source of air is necessary for each dryer. An airflow of 2,100 cfm (cubic feet per minute) (59.5 cmm
[cubic meters per minute]) must be supplied to each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from
the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 3 square feet (0.28 square meters) is required for each dryer.
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over the openings, this make-up air area must be
increased by approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air openings should not be located in an area
directly near where exhaust vents exit the building.
is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are
It
acceptable. However, they must be set up in such a manner that the make-up air is distributed equally to
the dryers. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail
ALL
EXAMPLE: For a bank of six (6) gas dryers, two (2) openings measuring 3 feet by 3 feet (0.91 meters by 0.91
meters) are acceptable.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes.
Make-up air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in
irreparable damage to the motors and other dryer components.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
16American Dryer Corp.113202-25
E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork
will create excessive back pressure, which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of
the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler)
hi-heat thermostats. The dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
The design of the flue system shall be such that any condensate formed when operating the appliance from

NOTE: When a dryer is exhausted separately , it is recommended that a back draft damper be
installed.
NOTE: When dryers are exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, each dryer must be
supplied with a back draft damper .
The exhaust ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to
the outdoors with as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended. When
single dryer venting is used, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet must notexceed 20
feet (6.09 meters). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the
outside exhaust outlet must not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters). The shape of the ductwork

ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions,
which will collect lint. When adding ducts, the ducts to be added should overlap the duct to which it is
connected.
Additionally, inspection doors should be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic
inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
T o protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should
be installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it
should be protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case,
allow at least twice the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction (i.e., roof
or ground level).
ALL ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer/magnehelic in the exhaust duct
must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 in WC (0.74 mb) for AD-115ES
and 0.6 in WC (1.48 mb) for AD-115DR.

4. AD-115ES and ADG-115DR Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
If it
is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be
channeled into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct
at an angle not more than 45° in the direction of airflow and should be spaced at least 46-1/8” (117.16 cm)
apart. The main duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 14-inch (35.56
cm) duct is added.
All dryers now come with a back draft damper.
IMPORTANT: No more than four (4) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common duct.
The main duct may be any shape or cross-sectional area, as long as the minimum cross section area is
provided. The illustration on the following page shows the minimum cross-section area for multiple dryer
round or square venting. These figures must be increased 10 square inches (64.51 square centimeters)
when rectangular main ducting is used, and the ratio of duct width to depth should not be greater than
3-1/2 to 1. These figures must be increased proportionally if the main duct run to the last dryer to where it
exhausts to the outdoors is unusually long (over 20 feet [6.09 meters]) or has numerous elbows (more than
two [2]) in it. In calculating ductwork size, the cross-section area of a square or rectangular duct must be
increased twenty percent (20%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). The diameter of a round exhaust
must be increased ten percent (10%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). Each 90° elbow is equivalent
to an additional 15 feet (4.57 meters).

H. STEAM INFORMATION
It is your responsibility to have ALL steam plumbing connections made by a qualified professional to ensure that
the installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with the requirements stipulated in this manual can result in
component failure, which will VOID THE WARRANTY.
NOTE: In standard format this dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system, which
requires an external supply of air (80 psi +/- 10 psi [5.51 bar +/- 0.68 bar]). This dryer may
be provided with an optional steam solenoid valve, in which case, no pneumatic steam damper
system is provided. Refer to Steam Damper Air System Connections.
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.

3. Installation Instructions
T o ensure that an adequate supply of steam is provided, be sure that the steam supply line and steam return
line are sized and laid out as stipulated in this manual. Inadequate steam supply line and steam return line,
or improper steam plumbing, will result in poor performance and can cause component failure. Clean, dry,
regulated steam must be provided to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: Steam coil failure due to water hammer by wet steam will VOID THE WARRANTY.
Consumption (Approx.)
@ Maximum Pressure

a. The presence of condensate in the steam supply will cause water hammer and subsequent heat exchanger
(steam coil) failure. The steam supply connection into the main supply line must be made within a
minimum 12-inch (30.48 cm) riser. This will prevent any condensate from draining towards the dryer.
b. The steam supply line to the dryer must include a 12-inch (30.48 cm) riser along with a drip trap and
check valve. This will prevent any condensate from entering the steam coil.
113202 - 25www.adclaundry.com31
c. Flexible hoses or couplings must be used. The dryer vibrates slightly when it runs and this will cause the
steam coil connections to crack if they are hard-piped to the supply and return mains.
d. Shutoff valves for each dryer should be installed in the supply, return, and drip trap return lines. This
will allow the dryer to be isolated from the supply and return mains if the dryer needs maintenance work.
e. Install an inverted bucket steam trap and check valve at least 12-inches (30.48 cm) below the steam coil
return manifold as close to the coil as possible. A trap with a capacity of 730 lb (332 kg) of condensate
per hour at 125 psi (8.62 bar), is needed for each unit. (Refer to illustration below .)
NOTE: W ith optional one-stage steel steam coil, one inverted bucket steam trap with a capacity of
840 (382 kg) of condensate per hour at operating pressure is required for each dryer.
f. A 3/4-inch (19.05 mm) vacuum breaker should be installed for each unit in the piping. This will prevent
the condensing steam from causing a vacuum inside the coil and possibly damaging the coil.
g. Dryers with Optional Steam Solenoid Valve: Mount steam solenoid valve in orientation shown, with coil
up. The supply line should be supported to prevent damage to the steam coil due to the overhung weight
of the steam solenoid valve.
h. The supply and return line should be insulated. This will save energy and provide safety for the
operator and maintenance personnel.
i.Water pockets in the supply line, caused by low points, will provide wet steam to the coil, possibly
causing coil damage.
for every 1 foot (0.31 meters) back towards the steam supply header causing any condensate in the line
to drain to the header. Install a bypass trap in any low point to eliminate wet steam.

Steam Damper System Operation
5.
The steam damper, as shown in the illustration below (Diagram 1), allows the coil to stay constantly
charged, eliminating repeated expansion and contraction. When the damper is opened, the air immediately
passes through the already hot coil, providing instant heat to start the drying process. When the damper is
closed, ambient air is drawn directly into the basket (tumbler), allowing a rapid cool down.
Diagram 1 – shows the damper in the heating (open) mode, allowing heat into the basket (tumbler).
Diagram 2 – shows the damper in the cool down (closed) mode, pulling ambient air directly into the basket
(tumbler) without passing through the coils.
NOTE: W ith the dryer off or with no air supply , the
damper is in the cool down mode as shown
in Diagram 2.

K. PREOPERATIONAL TEST
ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test
should be performed before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit or
due to marginal location (installation) conditions. Installer must instruct the user on how to correctly operate the
dryer before leaving.
1.Turn on electric power to the dryer.
2.Make sure the main door is closed and the lint drawer is securely in place.
3.Refer to the Operating Instructions for starting your particular model dryer.
4.Check to ensure that the basket (tumbler) starts in the clockwise (CW) direction. Additionally, check the
direction of the blower motor impellor (fan) to ensure that the blower motor impellor (fan) rotates in the
clockwise (CW) direction as viewed from the front. If it is, the phasing is correct. If the phasing is
incorrect, reverse two (2) of the leads at L1, L2, or L3 of the power supply connections made to the dryer.
IMPORTANT: The dryer blower motor/pulley that drives the impellor/fan (squirrel cage) when
viewed from the back of the dryer must turn in the counterclockwise (CCW)
direction, otherwise the dryer efficiency will be drastically reduced and premature
component failure can result.
5.Heat Circuit Operational Test
a. Gas Models
1) When the dryer is first started (during initial start-up), the burner has a tendency not to ignite on the
first attempt. This is because the gas supply piping is filled with air , so it may take a few minutes for
this air to be purged from the lines.
2) The dryer is equipped with a Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) system, which has internal diagnostics. If
ignition
it is manually reset. To reset the DSI system, open and close the main door and restart the dryer
(press the “START” key).
is not established after three (3) attempts, the heat circuit DSI module will LOCKOUT until
NOTE: During the purging period, check to be sure that ALL gas shutof f valves are open.
3) Once ignition is established, a gas pressure test should be taken at the gas valve pressure tap of
each dryer to ensure that the water column (W.C.) pressure is correct and consistent.
NOTE: W ater column pressure requirements (measured at the gas valve pressure tap):
Natural Gas---------------------3.5 Inches (8.7 mb) W ater Column.
Liquid Propane (L.P .) Gas --- 10.5 Inches (26.1 mb) W ater Column.
IMPORTANT: There is no regulator provided in an L.P. dryer . The water column (W.C.) pressure
must be regulated at the source, (L.P . tank) or an external regulator must be added
to each dryer.
38American Dryer Corp.113202-25
b. Steam Models
Check to ensure that the (standard) steam damper or (optional) steam solenoid valve is functioning
properly. The steam damper should not “slam” (open or closed) when it reaches the end of (piston)
travel. Additionally, the steam damper should not bind and/or stop during travel. If either of these
conditions occur, the flow control must be adjusted. Refer to the illustration on
adjustment instructions.

B. ADJUSTMENTS
7 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION AND EVERY 6 MONTHS THEREAFTER
Inspect bolts, nuts, screws, (bearing setscrews), grounding connections, and nonpermanent gas connections
(unions, shutoff valves, and orifices). Motor and drive belts should be examined. Cracked or seriously frayed
belts should be replaced. Tighten loose V-belts when necessary. Complete operational check of controls and
valves. Complete operational check of
and hi-limit thermostats).
The motor bearings, and under normal/most conditions the basket (tumbler) and idler bearings, are permanently
lubricated. It is physically possible to relubricate the basket (tumbler) bearings if you choose to do so even though
this practice
in the dryer DO NOT have a grease fitting. Provisions are made in the bearing housing for the addition of a
grease fitting, which can be obtained elsewhere.

3. For Models with Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) Module (Type I)
Theory of Operation:
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the
chosen trial for ignition time (6-seconds), the flame sensor detects
gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas
valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will
“LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame
the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period
is not sensed at the end of
will be
repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two
[2] more retries/trials). If the flame
is not sensed at the end of the
third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds) the DSI module
will “LOCKOUT” (light emitting diode [L.E.D.] diagnostic
indicator flashes).
A steady L.E.D. indicator indicates normal operation.
No L.E.D. indicator indicates a power or an internal failure has occurred.
For Models with DSI Module (Type II)
4.
Theory of Operation:
Start the drying cycle. When the gas burner ignites within the
chosen trial for ignition time (8-seconds), the flame sensor detects
gas burner flame and signals the DSI module to keep the gas
valve open as long as there is a call for heat. The DSI module will
“LOCKOUT” if the gas burner flame
the trial for ignition period. The trial for ignition period
is not sensed at the end of
will be
repeated for a total of three (3) retries/trials (the initial try and two

is not sensed at the end of the
third retry/trial (inter-purge period of 30-seconds), the DSI module
will “LOCKOUT” (a red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator will flash).
An unlit red L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates normal operation.
A lit green L.E.D. diagnostic indicator indicates dryer controller is calling for heat and that

MANUAL RESET BURNER HI-LIMIT INSTRUCTIONS
A. PHASE 7
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat, which is monitored by the Phase 7
computer. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to the start of the drying cycle, the dryer will start momentarily and
then shut down, the Phase 7 computer will display “burner HIGH LIMIT fault” with an audio indication.
If the burner hi-limit opens during a drying cycle, the Phase 7 computer will also display the same error code
described above, along with an audio indication. If the drum temperature is above 100° F (38° C), the dryer will
continue to run with no heat for 3 minutes or until the drum temperature has dropped below 100° F (38° C). The
clear/stop button on the Phase 7 keypad must be pressed to clear the error condition. The open burner hi-limit
must be reset “manually” prior to the start of the next cycle.
B. DUAL TIMER / PHASE 5
This dryer was manufactured with a manual reset burner hi-limit thermostat. If the burner hi-limit is open prior to
the start of the drying cycle, or during the cycle, the dryer
hi-limit and will start or continue through the drying cycle with no heat. Manual reset hi-limit must be reset
manually.
will not recognize the open state of the burner
This hi-temperature condition may be caused due to a restricted exhaust, poor airflow , or improper burner operation.
The location of the burner hi-limit is on the left side of the burner box, looking at the burner from the back of the
dryer.
WARNING: Discontinue power to dryer before attempting to reset hi-limit.
