SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
The Phase 5 Coin Computer System is a fully programmable, highly sophisticated dryer control system.
American Dryer Corporation has designed the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) to be the
most versatile and reliable coin-operated control system available.
To eliminate as many moving parts as possible, ALL Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
programming is done through the membrane switch on the front of the control panel. The Program Switch (PS)
that puts microprocessor controller (computer) into the program mode is a single program switch. This program
switch eliminates the possibility of switch failure due to an accumulation of lint or moisture.
Phase 5 Coin Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Features
AUTOMATIC PROGRAM REVIEW
In the program mode, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will show ALL settings by one (1)
touch of the low temperature keyboard (touch pad) selection.
PROGRAMMABLE
Changes in the 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 1 minute increments.
COIN ACCEPTOR DENOMINA TIONS
Values of coin acceptors are programmable from a minimum of 1 to a maximum value of 9999 for any U.S. or
foreign coin denomination.
AMOUNT TO ST ART
Programmable from a minimum value 1 to a maximum value of 9999 in increments of one (1).
ACCUMULA TIVE TIME
This program yields a specific value of time for any coin entry made after the “Amount To Start” has been
inserted.
4
TIME FOR AMOUNT TO START
This program retains the time the owner wishes to vend. The feature allows any additional purchase that is
made to be calculated to the second. There is no calculation necessary by the owner. The Phase 5 coin
microprocessor controller (computer) calculates the vended time.
ACCUMULA TIVE COIN
This program selection requires that a specific value of coin(s) be inserted for additional time, programmable for
any minimum amount.
COIN COUNT
The number of coins inserted, including a separate display program for optional dual coin acceptors, can be
viewed through the Phase 5 computer’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display .
BAD COIN LOCKOUT
Each coin is monitored. Should someone tamper with the coin acceptor or attempt to insert a foreign object, the
microprocessor controller (computer) will “LOCKOUT” and will not accept any entries until the reset time has
elapsed (approximately 15-seconds). Once the reset time has expired, the microprocessor controller (computer)
will automatically reset itself for the next coin entry .
TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
When the temperature conversion status is changed (i.e. from °F to °C), the Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) will automatically convert ALL temperature related programs/parameters from Fahrenheit
to Celsius and vice versa. The Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will perform this conversion
within 1° F (2° C). The programs affected are:
1. Temperature Display Mode
2. Temperature Selections
3. Cool Down Temperatures
DRYING TEMPERATURES
Any of the three (3) temperature selections (HI/LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum of 100° F to a
maximum of 190° F in ten-degree increments or from a minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 88° C in five-degree
increments. Actual temperature programs are displayed at time of programming for verification.
For the AD-26 andAD-295 any three (3) of the selections (HI/LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum of
100° F to a maximum of 170° F in ten-degree increments, or from a minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 77° C
in five-degree increments.
For the AD-540andWDA-540 any three (3) of the selections (HI/LO/PP) are programmable from a minimum
of 100° F to a maximum of 160° F in ten-degree increments or from a minimum of 38° C to a maximum of 71°
C in five-degree increments.
5
COOL DOWN TIME
ALL three (3) temperature selections are programmable from a minimum of 0 minutes to a maximum of 9
minutes in 1 minute increments.
COOL DOWN TEMPERATURES
In the automatic or free dry modes, the cool down cycle termination is programmable from a minimum of 70° F
to a maximum of 190° F in ten-degree increments or from a minimum of 21° C to a maximum of 88° C
five-degree increments.
in
AUTOMATIC MODE(Patent No. 4,827,627)
This program selection uses ADC’s patented Auto-Dry cycle. The microprocessor controller (computer) will
calculate the percent of the dryness and read “donE” when complete. The Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) can be programmed to have a maximum time for the “Auto Mode.” The Automatic Cycle
(mode) can be used in either the “Free Dry” Mode or the “Coin” Mode.
ANTI-WRINKLE
This program selection helps keep permanent press items wrinkle free when they are not removed from the
dryer promptly at the end of the drying and cooling cycles. The Anti-W rinkle 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 coin microprocessor controller
(computer) can also be programmed to run with an Automatic Cycle (percent of dryness) or with a Timed Cycle.
If the “Free Dry” program is utilized, the computer’s light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will cycle back and
forth between “FILL” to “FrEE,” unless otherwise programmed.
L.E.D. FLASH DISPLA Y
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 T o Start” or , in the case of free dry, from “FILL”
to “FrEE.”
AUDIBLE TONE
In this program selection, a tone (buzzer) will sound for each coin inserted, program entry , or at the drying and
cooling cycles for a period of 5-seconds to indicate that the cycle is complete. Additionally, when in the
Anti-Wrinkle program, the tone (buzzer) will sound for 5-seconds at the end of the “Guard On Time.”
6
TEMPERATURE DISPLA Y
This program selection enables the temperature in the dryer to be viewed (°F or °C) either while the dryer is off
or running. This service feature shows that the dryer is maintaining the selected temperature.
DIAGNOSTICS
ALL major circuits, including door, microprocessor temperature sensor , heat, and motor circuits are monitored.
There are also indicators installed on the outputs of each relay to easily identify failures, and the door switch has
an indicator installed on the Phase 5 microprocessor controller (computer) to help indicate failure.
AUTOMATIC DRY TIME
This program selection allows the dryer to run up to a specific time. During the “AUtO” mode or “FrEE” dry
mode this program is only designed to limit the dryer’s operation during the drying cycle.
ROTATIONAL SAFE GUARD (Optional)
This program monitors the rotation of the basket (tumbler). If the basket (tumbler) is not rotating, the Phase 5
coin microprocessor controller (computer) will disable ALL outputs, an audible tone (buzzer) will sound, and an
error message will be displayed. This program selection can be programmed to be in the inactive mode.
BA TTER Y BACKUP (Optional)
This feature allows the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) to maintain its operating status should
a momentary power interruption occur while the dryer cycle is in progress.

SECTION IV
PROGRAM SELECTION
NOTE: Programs are stored in the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) memory and
are cataloged as Program Locations (PL).
TEMPERATURE DISPLA Y MODE
By closing the Program Switch (PS) located on the back side of the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller
(computer), the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will read the temperature in the dryer in either Fahrenheit
(°F) or Celsius (°C), depending on how the temperature conversion status is in PL01. The temperature display
mode can be activated while the dryer is in the operating cycle, or off. While in the operating cycle, the circuit
indicators are visible for troubleshooting purposes.
NOTE: The dryer cannot be started while the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
Program Switch (PS) is closed, unless the cycle was already in progress.
RIGHT COIN COUNT (rCC)/LEFT COIN COUNT (LCC)
The “HI TEMP” key lets the operator review the coin counters. If the operator presses the “HI TEMP” key,
the computer displays “_LCC.” The operator could then press either the “PERM PRESS” key to view the
“Left Coin Count” or the “HI TEMP” key and the computer would display “_rCC.” Again, the operator could
press the “PERM PRESS” key to view the “Right Coin Count.” While displaying the coin count, if the operator
presses the “HI TEMP” key the computer then displays “CxCC” (x = “r” or “L”) to indicate “clearing” the coin
count. The operator then presses the “PERM PRESS” key to clear the coin count or the “HI TEMP” or “LO
TEMP” key to exit without clearing the coin count.
13
AUTOMATIC REVIEW OF PROGRAM LOCA TION
This selection allows for the AUT OMATIC REVIEW of what the program locations are set (programmed) for ,
thereby eliminating the need to go into each and every Program Location (PL) manually for verification. By
closing the Programming Switch (PS) with no cycle in progress, the light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display will
read the temperature in the dryer. Then, by pressing the “LO TEMP” key , the L.E.D. display will read “PLOC”
for 1-second. Then, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will go into the Automatic Review
Mode, the Program Location numbers (i.e., PL01, PL02, etc.) will not be shown and each parameter (i.e.,
“°F Ar ,” “tInE,” “Grd,” etc.) will be displayed for approximately 1-second each. The Automatic Review can be
stopped/exited at any time by simply pressing the “PERM PRESS” key, at which time the L.E.D. display will
read “0000” for 1-second and then return to the Temperature Display mode.
14
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 T emperatures
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.
NOTE: When programming, to use the Automatic Mode (“AUtO”) (Patent No. 4,827,627), the
following parameter/programs need to be checked and/or changed accordingly:
..............................................“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 coin microprocessor controller (computer) has been
activated, the dryer will continue to run until the preset time, including the cool down period (PL04, PL06,orPL08), has elapsed, at which time the dryer will continue to run until the preset time, including the cool down
period (PL04, PL06,orPL08), has elapsed, at which time the dryer will cycle off or go into the optional
Anti-Wrinkle Program.
15
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 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will wait until the “Guard Delay Time”
(PL15) has expired, at which time the clothes
Time” (PL15). The Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process until the
programmed “Active Guard Time” (PL16) has expired or until the dryer door is opened, at which time the
L.E.D. display will read “FILL” and/or “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) or “FILL” and/or “FrEE.”
will be tumbled (without heat) for the programmed ”Guard On
NOTE: When programming the use of the Anti-W rinkle Program (“Grd”), the following parameter/
programs need to be checked and/or changed accordingly:
PL01 ................................ “Grd” (Anti-Wrinkle Program active)
................................ “bUZ” or “nbUZ” (buzzer [tone] active/not active)
With the Anti-W rinkle Program active, the option is available to have the buzzer/tone (“bUZ”) sound for a period
of 5-seconds at the end of each “Guard On Time” cycle, or, no buzzer (“nbUZ”) sound.
FREE DRY MODE (FrEE)
The Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) can be programmed to run without the insertion of
coins. When the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is in the “FrEE” dry mode, it may be
programmed to run in the “AUtO” (Automatic) Mode or the “tInE” (Timed) Mode.
NOTE: When programming the use of the Free Dry Mode (“FrEE”), the following parameters/
programs need to be checked and/or changed accordingly;
PL01 ................................ “AUtO” (automatic drying cycle) or
PL14* .............................. “Adrt” (maximum auto dry time)
PL17* .............................. “A” and “b” factors
* Needs to be programmed only if PL01 “AUtO” Cycle is chosen.
16
COIN MODE (COIN)
In this program mode (“Coin”), coins are required to start the dryer, even if the Phase 5 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) is set in the Automatic Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627).
NOTE: When programming the use of the Coin Mode, (“Coin”), the following parameter/programs
need to be checked and/or changed accordingly:
PL01 ................................ “AUtO” (automatic drying cycle) or
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 DISPLA Y STATUS (FLS)
When the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) is set in this program status (“FLS”) it allows the
light emitting diode (L.E.D.) readout to display “FILL” and/or “FrEE” (no cycle in progress), and/or “Amount T o
Start” (PL12) or, in the case of free dry, “FrEE.” The programming allows the L.E.D. readout to flip-flop back
and forth every 2-seconds from “FILL” to “Amount To Start,” or in the case of free dry, from “FILL” to
“FrEE.” If the L.E.D. display is programmed for “No Flash” (“nFLS”), the microprocessor controller (computer)
will then prompt you on whether you would like “FILL” displayed or the “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”).
BAD COIN LOCKOUT ST ATUS (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 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will “LOCKOUT”
and not accept any entries until the reset time has elapsed (approximately 15-seconds). Once the reset time has
expired, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will automatically reset itself immediately for the
next entry.
BAD COIN RESET (bCrS)
When set in this program (“bCrS”), the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) counts in milliseconds
the amount of time required for a coin entry signal. If someone should tamper with the coin acceptor or attempt
to insert a foreign object, the Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer) will not accept the entry and
will automatically reset itself immediately for the next entry.
17
ACCUMULA TIVE 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
Example No. 2: If the dryer is equipped with a 25¢ coin acceptor and the “Amount To Start” (“AtS t”) 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 coin microprocessor
controller (computer) calculation. There is no calculation required by the owner .
Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “ LCdE” (25¢/50¢) (30) = 15 minutes
In the accumulative time (AtIn) mode, when using a dual coin acceptor, once the “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”)
has been inserted, the addition of a coin(s) yields more time. The amount time accumulated for each additional
coin inserted is determined by the “Time For Amount To Start” (“tFAS”) program (PL11).
The “Time For Amount To Start” (“tFAS”) is determined by a Phase 5 coin microprocessor controller (computer)
calculation of additional amounts installed.
Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time
Example No. 1: Using a 10¢/25¢ dual coin acceptor with the desired “Amount To Start” (“AtSt”) being 25¢
for 15 minutes, each additional 10¢ would yield the following:
Formula: (LCdE/AtSt) (tFAS) = Vended Time for “LCdE” (10¢/25¢) (15 minutes) 6 minutes
