To fit a 170 and 200 series tumble dryer (with shipping skid)
through a 8 foot (2.43 meters) high door, you must remove
the front access panel. The upper 3 inches (76 mm) 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 70 inches (1,778 mm), and the 170 and 200 series
tumble dryer to 75 inches (1,905 mm).
Page 30
Installation
Level the tumble dryer to within 0.125 inch (3 mm) from frontto-rear (level on cylinder rib), and side-to-side (level on top
panel). Shim under corners to level and stabilize unit. Tumble
dryer must not rock.
Fire Suppression System
WARNING
Electrical shock can result in death or serious
injury. If the water dispensing system is activated,
do not attempt to operate the tumble dryer. If the
water dispensing system is activated, have the
tumble dryer inspected by a qualified agency before
operating the tumble dryer.
W879
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
3/4 inch (19 mm) hose. The fire suppression system equipped
tumble dryer must be supplied with a minimum water pipe
size of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) and be provided with a minimum
of 20 psi (138 kPa) and a maximum of 120 psi (827 kPa)
of pressure at all times. Flowrate must be no less than, but
approximately 15 gallons (57 liters) per minute.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 psi (138 kPa) 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 40°F and 120°F (4.4°C and 48.9°C)
. 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 40F° (4.4°C) , 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
40F° (4.4°C) 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 .

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.
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.

all times. The fire suppression system will be
inoperative if the main electrical power supply is
disconnected.
W690
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.
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.

WARNING
A drying tumble dryer produces combustible lint.
To reduce the risk of fire, the tumble dryer must be
exhausted to the outdoors.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, DO NOT use plastic or
thin foil ducting to exhaust the tumbler.
WARNING
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.

Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict airflow. The
opening must be increased to compensate for area taken up by
louvers.
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 makeup air openings. If it is necessary to duct make-up air to tumble
dryer(s), increase area of duct work by 25% to compensate for
restrictions in air movement.
Venting
W059R1
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.
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
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

Exhaust Requirements
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).
WARNING
Improperly sized or assembled ductwork causes
excess back pressure which results in slow drying,
lint collecting in the duct, lint blowing back into the
room, and increased fire hazard.
W355
NOTE: Exhaust ducts must be constructed of
sheet 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 0.0195 inches (0.495 mm) 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 10 .
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.

Individual Venting
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 12 inches (305 mm) 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 14 feet (4.3 m)
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 20 feet (6.1 m) . Cross
section area of a rectangular duct must be increased by 20% for
each additional 20 feet (6.1 m) . Refer to Table 3 to determine
equivalent venting.

With the tumble dryer in operation, airflow at any point in the
duct should be at least 1200 feet/min. (366 m/min.) to ensure
that lint remains airborne. If 1200 feet/min. (366 m/min.) per
minute cannot be maintained, schedule monthly inspections and
cleaning of the ductwork.

round duct must be increased by 10% for each additional 20 feet
(6.1 m) . Cross sectional area of a rectangular or square duct
must be increased 20% for each additional 20 feet (6.1 m) .
Refer to Table 4 to determine equivalent ducting sizing. The
collector duct may be rectangular or square in cross section, as
long as the area is not reduced. Provisions MUST be made for
lint removal and cleaning of the collector duct.
The vent collector system must be designed so the static back
pressure measured 12 inches (305 mm) from the exhaust outlet
does not exceed the maximum allowable pressure of 0.5 W.C.I.
(1.3 bar) 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 12 . 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 1200 feet/min. (366 m/min.) to ensure
that lint remains airborne. If 1200 feet/min. (366 m/min.) cannot
be maintained, schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the
ductwork.
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 One Manifold Assembly and Figure 14Two Manifold Assemblies. This illustration indicates minimum
diameters, and should be increased if the collector length
exceeds 14 feet (4.3 m) and two 90° elbows. The diameter of a

Steam Requirements
Steam Requirements
NOTE: Machines require a constant 80 to 100 psig
(5.3 to 6.9 bar) steam service for optimum operation.
The maximum allowable steam pressure for use with
50 Hertz tumble dryers is 125 psig (8.6 bar) . 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 21 120 Series Tumble Dryers and Figure
22 170 and 200 Series Tumble Dryers for proper steam pipe
configurations.
•To prevent condensate draining from headers to tumble
dryer, piping should have a minimum 12 inch (305 mm) 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 18 inches (457 mm) 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 make final
pipe connections to return header.
NOTE: To prevent water hammering, route return
lines below outlets of steam coils.

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 4 feet (1.2 m) 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.
WARNING
All system components must have a 125 psig
(8.6 bar) 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
IMPORTANT: Steam trap must be installed a
minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) below the steam
coil outlet connections.
4. Install a shut-off valve to each steam trap.
5. Connect to the condensate return lines.
6. For steam solenoid valve wiring connections, refer to
Wiring Diagram supplied with tumble dryer.
Thermal Oil Prep
It is the responsibility of the customer to install appropriate
coil and heating system for thermal oil prep models. The
manufacturer is not responsible for the performance or safety
of the customer installed thermal oil system. To ensure proper
operation, refer to the Specifications and Dimensions section for
the Btu input of equivalent steam models. Thermal oil systems
that do not deliver appropriate Btus will dry slower. For solenoid
valve wiring connections, refer to the Wiring Diagram supplied
with tumble dryer.
Installing Steam Trap and Making
Condensate Return Connections
The steam trap must be installed and the coil outlet
connections must be connected to the condensate return
lines. The following steps outline the procedure for
installing the steam trap and connecting the condensate
return lines. Refer to Figure 21 120 Series Tumble Dryers
and Figure 22 170 and 200 Series Tumble Dryers for
typical installations.
1. Use flexible lines between steam inlet solenoid and steam
coils, as well as outlet between steam coil and traps.
2. If necessary, install a strainer at the end of each flexible
hose.

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.

Ignition Control Operation for Non-CE
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
Figure 40
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 micro-ammeter to the FC+ and the FCterminals. 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.
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.
Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT Part No. 70458101ENR7
Page 79
Operating Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Standby Mode
While in Standby Mode, the ignition control will continually
monitor the system for faults. Once 24VAC is 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.
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
powerup, the control function must always be disabled if greater
than 19.8VAC.
Ignition Control Operation for CE
Models Through 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.
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.

5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten air
shutter adjusting screw securely.
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:
Refer to Figure 42 .
1. Open the access panel and remove the 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.

WARNING
The tumble dryer must not be operated if the airflow
switch does not operate properly. Faulty airflow
switch operation may cause an explosive gas
mixture to collect in the tumble dryer.
W072R1
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.
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 7-15 pounds
(0.48-1.03 bar) pull is required to open door.
If adjustment is required, refer to Figure 43 and proceed
as follows:
1. Open door.
2. Loosen acorn nut.
