The tumble dryer may be moved with or without the
skid. To remove the skid, unscrew the four shipping
bolts, and discard them.
To fit a 170 and 200 series tumble dryer (with shipping
skid) through a 2.43 meters (8 foot) high door, you
must remove the front access panel. The upper 76 mm
(3 inches) of the stove must also be removed on
170 series gas tumble dryers. Removing the entire gas
or steam heater assembly and the shipping skid, will
reduce the height of the 120 series tumble dryer to
1778 mm (70 inches), and the 170 and 200 series
tumble dryer to 1905 mm (75 inches).
Level the tumble dryer to within 3 mm (0.125 inch)
from front-to-rear (level on cylinder rib), and side-toside (level on top panel). Shim under corners to level
and stabilize unit. Tumble dryer must not rock.
Fire Suppression System
Check Local Codes and Permits
Call your local water company or the proper municipal
authority for information regarding local codes.
IMPORTANT: It is your responsibility to have
ALL plumbing connections made by a qualified
professional to assure that the plumbing is
adequate and conforms to local, state, and federal
regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT: It is the installation or owner’s
responsibility to see that the necessary or required
water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are
provided. Manufacturer assumes no responsibility
if the fire suppression system is not connected,
installed, or maintained properly.
Water Requirements
IMPORTANT: Water must be supplied to the fire
suppression system, or the fire suppression system
will not operate as intended.
Connection point to the electric water solenoid valve is
a 19 mm (3/4 inch) hose. The fire suppression system
equipped tumble dryer must be supplied with a
minimum water pipe size of 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) and be
provided with a
maximum of 827 kPa (120 psi) of pressure at all times.
Flow rate must be no less than, but approximately
57 liters (15 gallons) per minute.
minimum of 138 kPa (20 psi) and a
NOTE: Water pressure under 138 kPa (20 psi) will
cause low flow and water leakage at water solenoid
valve.
If the rear of the tumble dryer or the water supply is
located in an area where it will be exposed to cold/
freezing temperatures, provisions must be made to
protect these water lines from freezing.
IMPORTANT: Temperature of the water supply
must be kept between 4.4°C and 48.9°C (40°F and
120°F). If water in the supply line or water solenoid
valve freezes, the fire suppression system will not
operate.
IMPORTANT: If temperature sensors inside the
tumble dryer register a temperature below 4.4°C
(40°F), the fire suppression system control will lock
out. This feature protects against operation of the
tumble dryer with a possible frozen water supply.
Only when the temperature sensors register a
temperature above 4.4°C (40°F) will the machine
reset for operation.
IMPORTANT: Flexible supply line/coupling must
be used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections will void the warranty. It is
recommended that a filter or strainer be installed
in the water supply line.
Water Connections
Two hoses and a Y-valve are provided with the tumble
dryer to allow for connection of water supply to
tumble dryer. The water connections are made to the
bushings of the water solenoid valve, located on the
rear of the tumble dryer. The Y-valve provides a single
female hose connection (Standard US 3/4-11 1/2 NH
thread). Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4.
1Fire Suppression System Control Box2Water Solenoid Valve
To connect the two hoses (supplied with tumble
dryer), insert rubber washers (from literature pack) in
water inlet hose couplings. Refer to Figure 4.
Electrical power must be provided to
tumbler at all times. The fire suppression
system will be inoperative if the main
electrical power supply is disconnected.

Connect inlet hoses to water supply. Flush the lines for
approximately two minutes to remove any foreign
materials that could clog the screens in the water
mixing valve. This is especially important when
installing a tumble dryer in a newly constructed or
renovated building. Then connect the hoses to the
Y-valve; connect the Y-valve to the connections at the
rear of the tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT: Thread hose couplings onto valve
connections finger tight, then turn 1/4 turn with
pliers. Do not cross thread or overtighten
couplings.
IMPORTANT: Hoses and other natural rubber
parts deteriorate after extended use. Hoses may
develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they are
subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
the signs of deterioration listed above should be
replaced immediately. All hoses should be replaced
every five years.
Auxiliary Alarm
The fire suppression system provides an auxiliary
output signal when the system is activated. During
tumble dryer installation, you have the option to
connect a separate alarm system to this auxiliary
output. Potential uses of the auxiliary output include,
but are not limited to: (1) sounds an alarm, (2)
activates a building sprinkler system, (3) notifies a fire
department, etc. Use of the auxiliary output is not
required for the fire suppression system to operate, but
may be used for additional protection.
The connection to the auxiliary output is made through
the FS-1 and FS-2 fast-on connections inside the fire
suppression control box. Refer to Figure 5. The relay
is rated for 24 VAC, 5.2 Amp, sealed current.
NOTE: The auxiliary output is activated during
fire suppression system maintenance test sequence.
Consider this fact prior to your system test every
three months. (Example: If the external system
uses the auxiliary output to call the fire
department, inform the fire department before and
after the fire suppression system maintenance test.)
NOTE: Longer inlet hoses are available (as
optional equipment at extra cost) if the hoses
supplied with the tumble dryer are not long enough
for installation. Order hoses as follows:
Part No. 20617 Inlet hose 2.44 m (8 feet)
Part No. 20618 Inlet hose 3.05 m (10 feet)
NOTE: Replacement outlet hoses are available (at
extra cost). Order 44073302 Hose, 53 cm (21 in.) for
120 series and 44073303, 79 cm (31 in.) for 170 and
200 series.
Electrical Requirements
No independent external power source or supply
connection is necessary. Power to operate the 24 Volt
fire suppression system is from the rear junction/
contactor box.
1. Remove or open all panels and check accessible
bolts, nuts, screws, terminals and fittings for
tightness.
2. Check V-belt tension and adjust if necessary.
Refer to Adjustments section.

7. Gas Tumble Dryers: Start the tumble dryer and
check the burner flame. Adjust the air inlet
shutter as required. Refer to Adjustments section.
IMPORTANT: The electronic ignition system will
attempt to light the gas by sparking for the “trial
for ignition” period. If gas does not ignite within
this period, the ignition control will go into a safety
lockout and the valve will no longer open until the
control is reset. It may be necessary to retry several
times to bleed air from the gas lines. To reset, open
and close the loading door and restart tumble
dryer.
If lockout condition persists, check that the manual
gas shut-off valve is in the ON position and that the
gas service is properly connected. If condition still
persists, remove tumble dryer from service.

follows. Refer to Figure 8.
2. Remove screw plug from pressure tap.
3. Connect a “U”-tube manometer (or similar
pressure gauge) to the burner orifice (manifold)
pressure tap.
4. Start tumble dryer and note pressure once flame
is burning. Remove regulator cap and adjust
regulator screw until the burner orifice pressure
per applicable table is achieved. Replace
regulator cap. Refer to Figure 8.
A drying tumble dryer produces
combustible lint. To reduce the risk of
fire, the tumble dryer must be exhausted
to the outdoors.
W057R1
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use
plastic or thin foil ducting to exhaust the
tumbler.
W773
To reduce the risk of fire and
accumulation of combustible gases, DO
NOT exhaust tumble dryer air into a
window well, gas vent, chimney or
enclosed, unventilated area such as an
attic wall, ceiling, crawl space under a
building, or concealed space of a
building.
W059R1
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased
static pressure, we do not recommend
installation of in-line secondary lint filters
or lint collectors. If secondary systems
are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
W749
Make-up air openings in rooms containing tumble
dryer(s) and/or gas fired hot water heater or other
gravity vented appliances must be increased
sufficiently to prevent downdrafts in any of the vents
when all tumble dryers are in operation. Do not locate
gravity vented appliances between tumble dryer(s) and
make-up air openings. If it is necessary to duct makeup air to tumble dryer(s), increase area of duct work by
25% to compensate for restrictions in air movement.
Venting
Layout
Whenever possible, install tumble dryers along an
outside wall where duct length can be kept to a
minimum, and make-up air can be easily accessed.
Construction must not block the airflow at the rear of
the tumble dryer. Doing so would prevent adequate air
supply to the tumble dryer combustion chamber.
Make-Up Air
A tumble dryer is forced air exhausted and requires
provisions for make-up air to replace air exhausted by
tumble dryer.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct flow of combustion
and ventilation air.

Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict
airflow. The opening must be increased to compensate
for area taken up by louvers.
IMPORTANT: Installing in-line filters or lint
collectors will cause increased static pressure.
Failure to maintain the secondary lint system will
decrease tumble dryer efficiency and may void
machine warranty.
For maximum efficiency and minimum lint
accumulation, tumble dryer air must be exhausted to
the outdoors by the shortest possible route.
Proper sized exhaust ducts are essential for proper
operation. All elbows should be sweep type. Exhaust
ducts must be assembled so the interior surfaces are
smooth, so the joints do not permit the accumulation
of lint. DO NOT use plastic, thin foil or Type B
flexible ducts - rigid metal ducts are recommended.
Use exhaust ducts made of sheet metal or other
noncombustible material. DO NOT use sheet metal
screws or fasteners on exhaust pipe joints which
extend into the duct and catch lint. Use of duct tape or
pop-rivets on all seams and joints is recommended, if
allowed by local codes.
Verify that old ducts are thoroughly cleaned out before
installing new tumble dryer(s).

metal or other noncombustible material. Such
ducts must be equivalent in strength and corrosion
resistance to ducts made of galvanized sheet steel
not less than 0.495 mm (0.0195 inches) thick.
Where the exhaust duct pierces a combustible wall or
ceiling, the opening must be sized per local codes. The
space around the duct may be sealed with noncombustible
material. Refer to Figure 12.
IMPORTANT: For best performance provide an
individual exhaust duct for each tumble dryer. Do
not install a hot water heater in a room containing
tumble dryers. It is better to have the water heater
in a separate room with a separate air inlet.
Exhaust Requirements
Alternate Venting for 120 Series Tumble Dryers
The 120 series tumble dryer is equipped from the
factory to exhaust from the top; however, it may be
converted to exhaust out the rear by doing the
following (refer to Specifications and Dimensions
section):
1. Remove belt guard cover.
2. Remove 254 mm (10 inch) diameter elbow and
vertical duct.
3. Cut out shape from belt guard cover. Refer to
Figure 10.
4. Screw octagonal piece over 254 mm (10 inch)
diameter opening in top of belt guard.
5. Attach new exhaust duct to exhaust thimble on
rear panel, following all requirements in this
section.
For maximum efficiency and performance, it is
preferred to exhaust tumble dryer(s) individually to the
outdoors.
IMPORTANT: At no point may the cross sectional
area of installed venting be less than the cross
sectional area of the exhaust outlet of the tumble
dryer.
The exhaust duct must be designed so the static back
pressure measured 305 mm (12 inches) from the
exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure specified on the installation sticker
on the rear of the tumble dryer.
NOTE: Static back pressure must be measured
with the tumble dryer running.
The maximum allowable length venting is 4.3 m
(14 feet) and two 90° elbows or equivalent. If the
equivalent length of a duct required for an installation
exceeds the maximum allowable equivalent length, the
diameter of a round duct must be increased by 10% for
each additional 6.1 m (20 feet). Cross section area of a
rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for each
additional 6.1 m (20 feet). Refer to Table 4 to
determine equivalent venting.

cleaning of the ductwork.
NOTE: The maximum length of a flexible metal
duct must not exceed 2.4 m (7.87 ft.) as required to
meet UL2158, clause 7.3.2A.
Manifold Venting
While it is preferable to exhaust tumble dryers
individually to the outdoors, a main collector duct may
be used if it is sized according to Figure 13. This
illustration indicates minimum diameters, and should
be increased if collector length exceeds 6.1 meters
(20 feet). Manifold duct may be rectangular in cross
section, as long as area is not reduced. Provisions
should be made for lint removal and cleaning of duct.
Manifold duct must be tapered, as shown in Figure 11.
Individual tumble dryer ducts must enter manifold
duct at a 45° angle in the direction if airflow.
The vent collector system must be designed so the
static back pressure measured 305 mm (12 inches)
from the exhaust outlet does not exceed the maximum
allowable pressure of 1.3 bar (0.5 W.C.I.) as specified
on the installation sticker on the rear of tumble dryer.
Static back pressure must be measured with all tumble
dryers vented into the collector operating.
NOTE: Never connect a tumble dryer duct at a 90°
angle to the collector duct. Refer to Figure 11.
Doing so will cause excessive back pressure,
resulting in poor performance. Never connect two
tumble dryer exhaust ducts directly across from
each other at the point of entry to the collector
duct.
With the tumble dryer in operation, airflow at any point
in the duct should be at least 366 m/min.
(1200 feet/min.) to ensure that lint remains airborne. If
366 m/min. (1200 feet/min.) cannot be maintained,
schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the
ductwork.

It is important that equal pressure be maintained at all
tumble dryer gas connections. This can be done by
installing a 25.4 mm (1 inch) pipe gas loop to maintain
equal pressure at all gas connections. Refer to
Figure 16.
IMPORTANT: The tumble dryer must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressure equal to or less than
34.5 mbar (0.5 psig).
NOTE: For gas valves with a manual shut-off
switch on the gas valve, the shut-off switch does not
protect the valve from this pressure test. Use the
individual manual shut-off valve from the gas
supply piping system to protect the gas valve.
IMPORTANT: The tumble dryer and its manually
operated appliance gas valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any

Grounding Instructions
NOTE: To ensure protection against shock, this
tumble dryer MUST be electrically grounded in
accordance with the local codes, or in the absence
of local codes, with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. In Canada the
electrical connections are to be made in accordance
with CSA C22.1 latest edition Canadian Electrical
Code, or local codes. Electrical work should be
done by a qualified electrician.
This tumble dryer must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This tumble dryer must
be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
appropriate ground location.
Metal conduit and/or BX cable is not considered
ground.
Connecting the Neutral from the electrical
service box to the tumble dryer ground screw
does not constitute a ground.
A dedicated ground conduit (wire) must be
connected between the electrical service box
ground bar and tumble dryer ground screw.
For CE Models Only
All models are factory-equipped with an emergency
stop button on the front panel.
NOTE: Activation of the emergency stop switch
stops all machine control circuit functions, but
DOES NOT remove all electrical power from
machine.
The following steps outline the procedure for
connecting the electrical service to the tumble dryer.
NOTE: The wiring diagram is located in the
junction box.
1. Install a circuit breaker as close to the tumble
dryer as possible. If more than one tumble dryer
is being installed, a disconnect switch or circuit
breaker should be provided for each. This will
make it possible to disconnect each tumble dryer
for maintenance purposes.
2. Connect the conduit-encased leads to the disconnect
switch, or circuit breaker. Connect the wire leads
to the appropriate labeled terminal on the terminal
block. The ground wire must be connected to the
ground connection as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17
3. Check the electrical service phase sequence
(three phase only). If one of the power leads is a
“high leg,” connect it to lead L3 in the tumble
dryer. The cylinder must rotate clockwise and the
fan must rotate counterclockwise (as viewed
from the front of the tumble dryer – with selector
switch in non-reverse position). If not,
interchange leads L1 and L2 in the tumble dryer
connection box.
Changing the transformer configuration jumper is
required, PRIOR TO SUPPLYING POWER TO
THE MACHINE, if any of the following apply:
IMPORTANT: Failure to install the proper
configuration jumper may result in damage to
sensitive electronic controls and may void
warranty.
You have 400 – 415 Volt service and are

Ferrite Ring Installation
Gas and Steam Models with RM Control Suffix
Only (Models Through 7/31/11)
The ferrite ring provided in the literature packet must
be installed over the power leads during connection of
electrical service. The ferrite protects the sensitive
electronic controls from destructive electrical
disturbances which may be present on power lines to
the machine. Failure to properly install the ferrite ring
may result in damage to the electronic controls and
will void control warranty.
To install:
1. Immediately after connection of power leads and
before applying power to machine, locate each of
the incoming service leads including ground.
2. Snap the ferrite ring closed over all the service
leads inside of the contactor box as shown. It is
important that the ferrite ring be installed inside
the contactor box. Refer to Figure 18. Do not
install the ferrite outside of the box or other area.
Make sure that service leads are in the center of
the ferrite before closing the ring so as not to
pinch or damage leads.

8.6 bar (125 psig) working pressure.
Shut-off valves must be installed upstream
of the steam solenoid valve and
downstream of each steam trap so
components can be isolated for
maintenance or emergency purposes.
All components (solenoid valve, traps)
must be supported to minimize loads on
the tumbler steam coil connections.
W701
NOTE: Machines require a constant 5.3 to 6.9 bar
(80 to 100 psig) steam service for optimum
operation. The maximum allowable steam pressure
for use with 50 Hertz tumble dryers is 8.6 bar
(125 psig). In no case may the pressure exceed the
above value.
Obtain specific steam service pipe sizes from steam
system supplier or a qualified steam fitter.
Refer to Figure 19 and Figure 20 for proper
steam pipe configurations.
To prevent condensate draining from headers to
tumble dryer, piping should have a minimum
305 mm (12 inch) rise above respective header.
Do not make steam connection to header with a
horizontal or downward facing tee or elbow.
Whenever possible, horizontal runs of steam
lines must drain, by gravity, to respective steam
header. Water pockets, or an improperly drained
steam header will provide wet steam, causing
improper operation of tumble dryer. If pockets or
improper drainage cannot be eliminated, install a
bypass trap to drain condensate from the low
point in the steam header to the return.
In both steam supply and steam return line, it is
recommended that each have a pipe union and
shut-off valve. This will enable you to disconnect
the steam connections and service the tumble
dryer while your laundry facility is in operation.
Connect the steam solenoid valve to the related
steam coil inlet connection with nipples, flex
hoses, unions and tees.
Strainers may require cleaning due to materials
from hoses or pipes.
Install vacuum breaker (optional), bucket trap
with built-in strainer and check valve. For
successful operation of tumble dryer, install trap
457 mm (18 inches) below coil and as near to the
tumble dryer as possible. Inspect trap carefully
for inlet and outlet markings and install
according to trap manufacturer's instructions. If
steam is gravity returned to boiler, omit trap but
install vacuum breaker and check valve in return
line near tumble dryer. Gravity return requires
entire return plumbing be below steam coil
outlets.
Install union and shut-off valve in return line and
NOTE: To prevent water hammering, route return
lines below outlets of steam coils.
make final pipe connections to return header.
Piping Recommendations
Trap each steam coil individually. Always keep
the trap clean and in good working condition.
When tumble dryer is on the end of a line of
equipment, extend header at least 1.2 m (4 feet)
beyond tumble dryer. Install shut-off valve,
union, check valve and bypass trap at end of line.
If gravity return to boiler, omit trap.
Insulate steam supply and return lines for safety
of operator and safety while servicing tumble
dryer.
Installing Steam Trap and Making
Condensate Return Connections

Ignition Control Operation and
Troubleshooting for Models Starting
3/11/13
Before troubleshooting the system, check the
following items:
- Verify all mechanical and electrical connections are
secure and tight.
- Verify all system wiring is correct.
- Verify there is a proper system ground. The igniter,
flame sensor and igniter module must share a common
ground with the burner. Nuisance shutdowns are often
caused by a poor or erratic ground.
- Verify that the system is powered and that the control
is calling for heat.
- If the control proceeds to an error code on the red
diagnostic LED, troubleshoot per the Fault conditions

Proper location of the electrode assembly is important
for optimal system performance. The electrode
assembly should be located so that the tips are inside
the flame envelope and about 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) above
the base of the flame. Refer to Figure 36.
Figure 36
Flame Current Measurement
Flame current is the current that passes through the
flame from sensor to ground. To measure flame
current, connect a True RMS or analog DC microammeter to the FC+ and the FC- terminals. The
reading should be 1.0 micro-amps DC or higher. If the
meter reads negative or below “0” on the scale, the
meter leads are reversed. Re-connect leads with proper
polarity.
Alternately, a Digital Voltmeter may be used to
measure the DC voltage between the FC+ and FCterminals. Each micro-amp of flame current produces
1.0 VDC, so a reading of 2.6 VDC would equate to 2.6
micro-amps.
A good burner ground that matches the control ground
is critical for reliable flame sensing.
Ignition Control Operation for NonCE Models Through 3/10/13
Power Up
When power is applied to the ignition control, the
control will begin the ignition sequence within 1 – 3
seconds prepurge waiting time.
Ignition Sequence
The control begins the ignition sequence after
prepurge by powering the ignitor and opening the gas
valve. The ignitor will remain on either until a flame is
sensed or until a maximum of ten (10) seconds
(10 +0/-4 sec) has elapsed. If a flame is established
and lost during the 10 second period, the ignitor will
be powered up again in an attempt to re-ignite the gas.
If no flame is detected within the ten (10) second
ignition sequence, the control will terminate power to
the gas valves, ignitor, and enter lockout within 5
seconds.
Normal Operation
Once a flame has been established, the spark ignitor
will stop sparking and the control will continually
monitor all inputs. If the controller senses a loss of
flame after flame is established, the gas valve will
remain energized and sparking will commence within
one second of the flame loss. If flame reattempt fails,
lockout will occur within 11 seconds of initial flame
loss.
Control Lockout
When the control locks out, the gas valve will be
closed and all requests for heat will be ignored. The
lockout mode may only be discontinued by
interrupting power to the control or cycling the
thermostat. After this occurs, the control will restart
with its normal power up and ignition sequence.
Low Voltage Detection
The control will have capability for detection of a low
voltage input condition. If input voltage on power up
is below 19.0VAC +0.8VAC/-0.5VAC, the control will
disable output to gas valve control relay. If input
voltage rises above 19.8VAC for at least three (3)
seconds, the control will then re-enable function of the
gas valve control relay and ignition sequence may
begin. On power up, the control function must always
be disabled if greater than 19.8VAC.
Termination of Flame
Normal flame termination occurs when the thermostat
has been satisfied, meaning there is no immediate need
for more heat. The thermostat will disconnect power
from the ignition control, which will cause the gas
valve to close and the flame to go out. After a short
period of time, not less than 1 second, the thermostat
will cool down and close causing power to be
reapplied to the ignition control. When this occurs, the
control must complete the same prepurge and ignition
sequence specified above.
Ignition Control Operation for CE
ModelsThrough 3/10/13
Power Up
After 24VAC is applied to the ignition control pins
24V and GND, the Diagnostic LED on the ignition
control will turn orange/yellow. If a fault is detected
the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode. If no
faults are detected, the Diagnostic LED will turn
Green and the ignition control will enter Standby
Mode.
Standby Mode
While in Standby Mode, the ignition control will
continually monitor the system for faults. Once
24VACis applied to terminals TH and GND on the
control, the ignition control will enter Start Up Mode.
Start Up Mode
During Start Up Mode, the ignition control will
monitor the system for faults and begin the ignition
sequence. If no faults are present, the ignition control
will begin the ignition sequence by entering an 18
second waiting period. During this time the Green
LED on the ignition control will switch between Red
and Green, before maintaining a Green color.
After the waiting period, the ignition control will turn
on the igniter and gas valve. The igniter will remain on
until a flame is sensed, or up to 10 seconds.
Once a flame has been sensed the ignition control will
stop sparking, the gas valve will remain on and
ignition control will enter Run Mode.
If a flame is not sensed, the ignition control will then
begin two additional retrials for ignition. The ignition
control will re-enter the 18 seconds waiting period
before the ignition control makes another attempt at
ignition. If the three attempts at ignition fail, the
ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.
Run Mode
While in Run Mode the ignition control leaves the gas
valve on, monitors the flame signal, and leaves the
igniter off.
If a flame signal is lost during Run Mode, one
additional retrial for ignition will take place within one
second. The ignition control will restore the spark for
approximately 10 seconds. If the ignition re-attempt
fails, the ignition control will enter Lockout Mode.
The ignition control will remain in Run Mode until
24VAC is removed from terminals TH and GND on
the control.
Termination of Flame
The flame will go out when power is removed from
ignition control. The ignition control will turn off the
gas valve and enter Standby Mode.
Lockout Mode
When Lockout Mode is entered, the ignition control
will remove power to the gas valve, the igniter will
turn off, the Lockout/Reset Light will turn on, and the
Diagnostic LED will display the appropriate Error
Code.
Lockout Manual Reset
Lockout Mode is cleared by pressing an external reset
switch for three seconds. The ignition control will
clear all error codes and enter Standby Mode. During
Lockout Manual Reset, the Diagnostic LED on the
ignition control flashes red and orange, and the Reset
Light remains on until the ignition control is reset.
After the Reset Light turns off, stop pressing the
switch. Holding the reset for three seconds after
lockout has been cleared will cause a fault and result in
entering Lockout Mode again.
System Tests
The following system tests are performed during
normal operation. System tests are performed at a
minimum of every 24 hours.
Low Voltage Detection
If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the
control is below 18.75VAC +/- 0.75VAC for more than
3 seconds the ignition control will turn off the gas
valve and will not attempt to spark. The Diagnostic
LED will display Error Code 5. The ignition control
will not enter Lockout Mode if a low voltage condition
is detected, but will enter Standby Mode and wait for
the low voltage condition to be cleared.
If the voltage between terminals TH and GND on the
control rises above 19.75VAC +/- 0.1VAC for at least
3 seconds, the ignition control will then enter Start Up
Mode.
Low Voltage Detection test is disabled during Run
Mode.
Gas Valve
The ignition control verifies that the gas valve is
connected. Failure of this test results in the ignition
control entering Lockout Mode with the Diagnostic
LED displaying Error Code 2.
The Unexpected Presence of Flame test is performed
when no flame is expected. Failure of this test results
in the ignition control entering Lockout Mode with the
Diagnostic LED displaying Error Code 3.
Flame Monitoring
During the Flame Monitoring test, the flame is
checked to ensure the gas is being burned when the gas
valve is on. Failure of this test will result in the
ignition control entering Lockout Mode with the
Diagnostic LED displaying Error Code 3.

Gas Burner Air Shutter
NOTE: Air inlet shutters on the burner must be
adjusted so sufficient air is metered into the system
for proper combustion and maximum efficiency.
Before adjusting the inlet shutters be sure that all
lint is removed from lint compartments and lint
screen.
Air shutter adjustments will vary from location to
location and will depend on the vent system, number
of units installed, make-up air and line gas pressure.
Opening the shutter increases the amount of primary
air supplied to the burner while closing the shutter
decreases the primary air supply. Adjust air shutter as
follows:
5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame,
tighten air shutter adjusting screw securely.
Refer to Figure 38.
1. Remove the upper access panel and burner
inspection hole plate.
2. Start the tumble dryer and check the flame
pattern. If the flame pattern is straight up,
insufficient air is flowing through the tumble
dryer. A flame pattern that flares to the right and
left indicates no air is flowing through the tumble
dryer. Correct air and gas mixture is indicated if
the flame pattern is primarily blue, with small
yellow tips, and bends to the right of the heater
section. Too little air is indicated if the flame if
yellow, lazy and smokey.
3. To adjust the air shutter, loosen air inlet shutter
adjusting screw.
4. Open or close air shutter as necessary to obtain
proper flame intensity.
The airflow switch is set at the factory for proper
operation. No adjustment necessary.
The airflow switch operation may be affected by
shipping tape still in place, lack of make-up air, or an
obstruction in the exhaust duct. These should be
checked and the required corrective action taken.

Loading Door Catch (120 and 170
Series Models)
The door catch must be adjusted to have sufficient
tension to hold loading door closed against force of load
tumbling against it. Proper adjustment is when
0.48-1.03 bar (7-15 pounds) pull is required to open
door.
IMPORTANT: Airflow switch vane must remain
closed during operation. If it opens and closes
during the drying cycle, this indicates insufficient
airflow through the tumble dryer. If switch remains
open, or pops open and closed during the cycle, the
heating system will shut off. The cylinder and fan
will continue to operate even though the airflow
switch is indicating insufficient airflow.
NOTE: To properly mount the airflow switch
bracket, or in case of a load not drying, the airflow
switch bracket may need to be checked for proper
alignment. Be sure the locator pins are securely in
their respective holes before tightening the bracket
mounting screws. This will assure proper
alignment of the airflow switch arm in the channel
of the airflow switch bracket and prevent binding
of the arm.
Loading Door Switch
Loading door switch is factory preset, no field
adjustment is necessary.
If adjustment is required, refer to Figure 39 and
proceed as follows:
To adjust, open door, loosen acorn nut and turn door
strike screw in or out as required. Tighten acorn nut.
The loading door strike must be adjusted to have
sufficient tension to hold loading door closed against
force of load tumbling against it. Proper adjustment is
when 8-15 pounds (35.6-66.7 N) pull is required to
open door.
If adjustment is required, refer to Figure 40 and
proceed as follows:
To adjust, open door, loosen adjustment screws and
position strike for desired magnet engagement.
Retighten screws.
Adjust the belt tension as follows:
1. Disconnect electrical power to the tumble dryer
before attempting any adjustments to the drive
assembly.
2. Loosen pulley mounting plate bolts.
3. Loosen the upper nut on the final drive eyebolt.
4. Rotate the lower nut of the final drive eyebolt
clockwise until proper belt tension is achieved.
5. Rotate upper nut clockwise against the lower nut
in order to lock it into place.
6. Tighten pulley mounting plate bolts. Recheck
belt tension.
7. If necessary, adjust the drive motor belt tension
eyebolt using a similar procedure.
8. Adjust blower belt tension on 120 series 50 Hertz
tumble dryers and all 170 series tumble dryers
using a similar procedure.
NOTE: Proper tensions for new belts are measured
with a Borroughs Belt Tension Gauge:

Belt Drive
The drive assemblies consist of motors, belts, eyebolts
and a step pulley.
The pulley diameters are sized to produce a cylinder
speed of 37-39 RPM for 120 series models or
29-31 RPM for 170 and 200 series models.
The step pulley assembly is used for speed reduction
as well as a means of adjusting belt tension. The pulley
mounting plate is attached to the cabinet. The frame
mounting plate has vertically slotted holes allowing up
and down movement of the step pulley mounting plate
for belt adjustment.

Fire Suppression System Maintenance
Test
To ensure proper operation, the fire suppression
system must be tested every three months. If the
system test does not perform as indicated:
1. Discontinue use of the tumble dryer.
2. Refer to Troubleshooting Manual or contact a
qualified service person.
3. Restore the fire suppression system to proper
working order before using tumble dryer.
Create a maintenance record with a check box for
pass, the date and a signature. Store this record in an
area where it will not be damaged, but is easily
accessible to person performing tests.
TMB1999N
NOTE: Failure to maintain the fire suppression
system will void the tumble dryer warranty.
NOTE: The auxiliary output is activated during the
fire suppression system maintenance test sequence.
Consider this fact prior to testing the system every
three months. (Example – If the external system
uses the auxiliary output to call the fire
department, inform the fire department before and
after the fire suppression system maintenance test.)
IMPORTANT: For Electric Models only –
Whenever the machine has been internally sprayed
with water, the heating elements must be
completely dry before you run the machine with
heat. To fully dry the heating elements, run the
machine WITHOUT HEAT for a minimum of sixty
