INTRODUCTION

Wet Wash Microprocessor Drying System

The Wet Wash (OPL) Drying System has been designed with super performance in mind to provide for better
temperature regulation, efficiency, performance, and consistency, and faster drying times.

Specifically, Wet Wash Drying System’s higher performance emanates from the following enhancements:

1. The ability to better control the temperature inside the basket (tumbler) throughout the various cycles.

2. The Wet Wash Dryer’s microprocessor controller (computer) responds immediately to any temperature
variations from temperature. The narrower temperature control band greatly increases system efficiency.

3. The Wet Wash Dryer utilizes two (2) Humidity Transmitters. This enables the microprocessor controller to
monitor the relative humidity in both the inlet air stream as well as the exhaust air system of the machine.

Among its many amenities, Wet Wash Drying System has a true Automatic Drying Cycle. The Wet Wash
Drying System (Patent No. 5,649,372) operates the machine at specific programmable dry temperatures while
simultaneously monitoring the humidity in both the inlet and outlet air streams. The dryer will operate at specific
temperature until a Predetermined Differential Humidity Measurement has been reached. The dryer then will
proceed to a second predetermined temperature until that Predetermined Differential Humidity has been reached.
This process is repeated one (1) final time prior to ending the cycle. These RH set points will differ based on the
material type and load size selected.

Utilizing this microprocessor technology, the user simply has to place the load in the dryer and push one single
button to start the drying cycle. The microprocessor controller (computer) will directly monitor the moisture
content in the load and stop the drying cycle automatically. This response is based on the load size and material
type selected.

The Wet Wash Drying System (Patent No. 5,649,372) virtually eliminates all guess work. The microprocessor
controller (computer) compensates for various types of fabrics and load sizes, thus, avoiding damage to fabrics by
overdrying, as well as avoiding wasted time and energy for any given load. Once the microprocessor controller
(computer) determines the load is dry, the microprocessor controller will go into the cool down cycle until the
preprogrammed time, and then shuts the dryer off automatically.

SECTION II

FEATURES

A. Dependable Microprocessor solid state integrated circuitry. To eliminate as many moving parts as

possible.

B. Program changes are easily made at the keyboard - actual programs are viewed at the L.E.D. display

for verification.

C. Special Drying Cycle - computerized monitoring of load dryness for precise, fast, and efficient drying.

D. Timed (manual) Drying Cycle - for special loads, programming allows for a specific amount of time

in minutes for both drying and cool down cycles.

E. Preprogrammed Cycles - The Microprocessor controller can store in its memory six (6) preprogrammed

cycles in either the Special Drying mode or Manual Drying mode.

F. Variable (Programmable) Fabric/Temperature Selections- accommodates the type of fabric to be dried.

G. Controlled Cool Down program - helps eliminate wrinkled loads

H. L.E.D. Display - informs user of cycle status, programs and displays important diagnostic and fault

codes.

I. Anti-Wrinkle Program - helps keep items wrinkle - free when they are not removed from the dryer

promptly at the end of the drying and cooling cycles.

J. Diagnostics - major circuits, including the door switch, microprocessor temperature sensor, as well as

the inlet and outlet relative humidity transmitters.

K. Temperature Conversion Status - temperature related programs can be set in either Fahrenheit or

Celsius. ALL temperatures will automatically convert to the corresponding valves (± 1°F) when
changes are made.

L. Over-Temperature protection if the microprocessor controller senses that the temperature basket

(tumbler) has reached, it will shut the dryer down completely, and a default an overheating problem.

M. Cycle Preview - entire dryer parameters (programs) or the preprogrammed cycles are displayed

for verification upon a coded entry to the keypad.

SECTION III

PROGRAM SELECTIONS

A. Preprogrammed Cycles

The microprocessor controller can store in its memory six (6) preprogrammed cycles (keys “A” through °F”
on the keyboard). This allows the user to have the six (6) most completely used cycles, requiring only the
push of a single keyboard entry to start the dryer.

These preprogrammed cycles can be set either the “Special” Drying Cycles (mode) where the fabric
selection must be chosen or in the timed (manual) drying cycle (mode) where the dryer will operate for the
specific drying time preprogrammed. These cycles can be preprogrammed in any combination.

Once the drying cycle is completed, the microprocessor controller then goes into the cool down cycle, where
the articles are tumbled in room temperature air. Once the preprogrammed cool down cycle is completed,
the dryer will shut off automatically.

With the Anti-wrinkle Program active, when the cooling cycle is completed and the dryer has shut off,
if the main door is not opened, the load will be tumbled without heat (I.E., for twenty (20) seconds
every (2) two minutes. This process is repeated until either the main door is opened or twenty (20)
minutes has elapsed, which ever comes first.

Programmed Cycle Selections:

1. Special Drying Cycle (mode)

A. For optional fabric selections, the microprocessor controller can be preprogrammed to dry the

specific material being put into the dryer.

B. Anti-Wrinkle Program - active or non-active

C. “T - Hi” Drying Temperature - programmable from 100° to 200° F in one degree increments or from 37° to

93° C in one degree increments.

D. “T-Set” Drying Temperature - preprogrammable from 100° to 199° F in one degree increments or from 37°

to 92° C in one degree increments.

E. “T-Lo” Drying temperature - preprogrammable from 100° to 198° F in one degree increments or

from 37° to 91° C in one degree increments.

F. Cool Down Time - Programmable from 0 to 10 minutes in one-minute increments.

2. Timed (manual) Drying Cycle (mode)

A. Anti-wrinkle Program - active or non-active

B. Drying Time - programmable from 0 - 99 minutes in one minute increments.

C. Drying Temperature - programmable from 100° to 215° F in one degree increment or from 37° to

102° C in one degree increments.

D. Cool Down Time - programmable from 0 to 15 minutes in one degree increments.

All six (6) preprogrammed cycles have been programmed by the factory as outlined on pages
However, even though these are the most common cycles used, they should be reviewed to ensure
they the location application or needs. Should changes be found necessary, refer to the programming
section of this manual.

B. Special Drying Cycle (mode)

In this mode, the microprocessor controller determines how much drying time is needed. This is done
because each fabric has its own drying characteristics and the microprocessor drys each fabric
selection at a certain temperature to a specific humidity level. In this mode the load size is important.
At the end of this drying cycle the microprocessor will go into cool down.

Special Drying Cycle (mode) Selections:

1. Fabric Selection - Synt, Suit, Def, Acry, Uool, Coat, Ryan, Nitt, Silc.

2. “T Hi” Drying Temperature - programmable from 100 ° to 200° F in one degree increments or from
37° to 92° in one degree increments

3. “T Set” Drying Temperature - programmable from 100 ° to 199° F in one degree increments or form
37° to 92° in one degree increments.

4. “T Lo” Drying Temperature - programmable from 100° to 198° F in one degree increments or from
37° to 91° C in one degree increments.

5. Cool Down Time - programmable from 0-10 minutes in one degree increments.

6. System Parameter program location - Key # 2

C. Timed (manual) Drying Cycle (mode)
