W250R1
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.
Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT Part No. 70458301ENR7
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.
Page 41
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.
Installation
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 5 and Figure 6 .

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.
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.

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.

T30 Series220 in.2 (141,935 mm2 )
T45 Series288 in.2 (185,806 mm2 )
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
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.
Copyright, Alliance Laundry Systems LLC - DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT 55
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
Page 56
Exhaust Requirements
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).
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 18 .
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
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.
Equivalent Length of
Duct Diameter
Rigid Straight Duct
8 in. (203 mm)One 90° elbow = 9.3 ft.
(2.83 m)
Equivalent Length
= 14 ft. (4.3 m) + (2) 90° elbows
= 14 ft. (4.3 m) + 14 ft. (4.3 m) + 14 ft. (4.3 m)
= 42 ft. (12.8 m)
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.
NOTE: The maximum length of a flexible metal duct
must not exceed 7.87 ft. (2.4 m) 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 20 One Manifold Assembly and Figure 21Two 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
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.
10 in. (254 mm)One 90° elbow = 11.6 ft.
(3.5 m)
12 in. (305 mm)One 90° elbow = 14 ft.
(4.3 m)
14 in. (356 mm)One 90° elbow = 16 ft.
(4.9 m)

(5.7 m)
18 in. (457 mm)One 90° elbow = 21 ft.
(6.4 m)
Equivalent Length (meter) = 1.17 x Duct Diameter (mm)
Table 3
Example: A 12 inch (305 mm) diameter duct’s equivalent length
of 14 feet (4.3 m) of duct and two 90° elbows is:
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 19 . 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.

Ferrite Ring Installation (025, 030, 035 and 055 Series Only)
Gas and Steam Models with OM 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 Figure26 . Do not install the ferrite outside of the box or other
area. Make sure that service leads are in the center of the

Steam Requirements
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 27 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.

•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.

2. If necessary, install a strainer at the end of each flexible
hose.
3. Install a steam trap to each strainer.
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.
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 27 for typical installations.
1. Use flexible lines between steam inlet solenoid and steam
coils, as well as outlet between steam coil and traps.

Single Drop Timer
Single Drop Timer
NOTE: The following information is for models with an
SD control suffix only.
Power-Up Mode
When power is applied to the tumble dryer, the IN USE light
flashes factory status information. Following this, the control
goes into READY Mode (light off) or RUN Mode if power was
interrupted during a cycle (light on, time remaining unchanged).
If a power disruption is less than 5 seconds, with a cycle in
process, the control will enter Run Mode once power is restored
and continue the cycle. If a power disruption is more than 5
seconds, with a cycle in process, the control will enter Start
Mode once power is restored.
If the dry time dipswitch settings have not changed from the
factory default, the IN USE LED will flash two to five times,
depending on model.
Ready Mode
In READY Mode (light off), the control waits for the vend to be
satisfied. When vend is satisfied the control goes into START
Mode.
Start Mode
In START Mode (light on), the vend has been satisfied but the
start button has not been pressed. Time remaining in the cycle
will not change until the start button is pressed. When the start
button is pressed the machine goes into RUN Mode.
Run Mode
In RUN Mode (light on), the machine is running a cycle and the
time remaining is counting down. When time remaining counts
down to zero, the control goes into READY Mode.
There are eight dipswitches on the tumble dryer control. The
first six switches are used to program the amount of additional
heat time given for each coin pulse. The additional drying time
is added to the factory default minimum heat time of one minute.
A value of 1 to 64 minutes of additional drying time is available
for each coin drop pulse.
Models Through Serial No. 0908xxxxx
The last two switches are used to program the amount of
additional cool down time. The additional cool down time
is added to the factory default minimum cool down time of
1 minute. A value of 1 to 3 additional minutes is available.
The control is shipped from the factory programmed with 1
minute of minimum heat time, preset with 7 additional minutes
of drying time (dipswitches 1, 2 and 3 in ON position) and 1
minute of minimum cool down time for a total time of 9 minutes
for a coin pulse. For dipswitch settings refer to Table 28 ModelsThrough Serial No. 0908xxxxx.
