DIAGNOSTIC MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL - FEATURES
Diagnostic Microprocessor Control (DMP)
1.0 General Operation
The Cissell Diagnostic Microprocessor Control (DMP) is designed to manage the drying and cooling cycles
of the dryer. The controller is also programmed from the the factory with five different default programs as
described below. The operator has the flexibility to select the time for the drying and cool down cycles and
the drying temperature. The operator may also select either reversing or non-reversing basket action only if
the dryer is equipped for reversing. The operator may also re-program the default programs. See
paragragh 4.0.

Programs
1-TOWELS
2-SHEETS

The minimum drying time is 0 minutes, and the minimum cooling time is 2 minutes. The maximum
drying or cooling time is 60 minutes. The drying temperature may be set from 100°F (38°C) to
185/195°F (85/91°C). The drying time, cooling time, or temperature may be modified during an
operating cycle.
If it is necessary to reset the drying and cooling times for the current cycle, press STOP once to
stop the dryer. Press STOP again to cancel the cycle.
If it is necessary to change programs during a current cycle, press STOP once to stop the dryer and
press STOP again to cancel the current cycle

3.0 DIP Switch Settings
The DMP has an 8-position DIP switch bank that is accessible from the back of the control board. By
switching these DIP switches, it is possible for the operator to customize the display and some of the
operating features of the dryer.

Dip Switch Functions Explained
#1 Dryer Type: This DIP switch selects the type of dryer, i.e. OPL or Coin.
#2 Temperature Units: Selects °F or °C for the temperature display. Factory setting is for °F.
#3 Local/Remote Reversing: Preset at the factory; usually for local reversing. Remote reversing for
use with Cissell part # TU12874, Reversing Timer Board only.
#4 Sail Switch: Preset at the factory; usually set for the sail switch to be monitored.
#5 Lint Door Switch: Preset at the factory; usually set for the lint door switch to be monitored.
#6 Buzzer Timer: This DIP switch determines the length of time that the end of cycle buzzer will
remain on. OFF indicates that the buzzer will sound for 5 seconds when the drying cycle is
completed. ON indicates that the buzzer will sound continuously until the STOP button is
pressed, or the loading door is opened.
#7 Safety Tumble, Display Count, or Pay: If DIP Switch #1 is set for OPL, then DIP switch #7 in the
ON position enables the safety tumble. If DIP Switch #1 is set for Coin, then DIP switch #7 in the
ON position enables the display of the coin count. DIP switch #7 in theOFF position enables the
display of PAy, to indicate that coins are needed to run the dryer.
#8 Programming: This switch enables or disables the programming feature and should normally be in
the OFF position.

4.0 Programming
4.1 Set Dip Switch #8 to the ON position.
4.2 Select the desired program number to change. The LED should be flashing.
4.3 Select DRY TIME. Set the time with the UP/DOWN arrows.
4.4 Select COOL TIME. Set the time with the UP/DOWN arrows.
4.5 Select TEMPERATURE. Set the temperature with the UP/DOWN arrows.
4.6 Select reversing REV (illuminated) or non-reversing REV (not illuminated). To change basket direction and dwell
time, see section 6.0 Reversing Operation.
4.7 Press and hold the PROGRAM select button about 3 seconds until the LED stops flashing. The selected
program number is now programmed. If the PROGRAM button is pressed for less than 3 seconds, the controller
will cancel the program and display the next programs settings. If not programmed correctly, the display will
flash E2F for 4 seconds, and the default settings will be used. Follow steps 4.2 through 4.7 to re-program any
program number. When finished, set DIP Switch #8 to OFF. The programs are now stored.
4.8 During the program mode, if the UP/DOWN arrows, REV, or DISPLAY button is not pressed within 10
seconds the default program settings will be used.
5.0 Temporary Re-Programming of Current Programs (OPL only)
5.1 The Drying Time, Cooling Time, Temperature, and Reversing Mode of a program currently in use may be
modified simply by adjusting any or all of the program parameters for that program, as needed. Once a
modification has been made the current program LED will flash indicating that it has been modified.
5.2 Use the UP/DOWN arrows to adjust program time.
5.3 Use the Display Select button to choose between Drying Time, Cooling Time, and Temperature. Then use
the UP/DOWN arrows to adjust the times and temperature.
5.4 Toggle between reversing REV (illuminated) or non-reversing REV (not illuminated). * Only for dryers with the
reversing option.
5.5 To cancel this temporary programming mode push the STOP button once to stop the current cycle and once
more to cancel the modified program settings. The program will revert back to its original settings.
6.0 Reversing Operation
6.1 When the LOCAL reversing operation is selected, the reversing times are stored in the EEPROM which is
located on the controller board. If the values stored are determined to be invalid the clockwise and counterclockwise times will default to 60 seconds, and the dwell time will default to 4 seconds.
6.2 The reversing time program has the following sequence: (1) clockwise time, (2) dwell time, and (3) counterclockwise time.
6.3 To program new reversing times DIP switches #3 and #8 must be on.
6.4 Press and hold the reverse button (REV) for 3 seconds to display the clockwise time.
6.5 Use the UP/DOWN arrows to set the clockwise time within the range of 30-120 seconds.
6.6 Press REV to display the dwell time.
6.7 Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change the dwell time within the range of 3-10 seconds.
6.8 Press the REV button to display the counter-clockwise time.
6.9 Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change the counter-clockwise time within the range of 30-120 seconds.
6.10 Press the REV button to save these settings and leave DIP Switch #3 in the ON position and flip DIP Switch
#8 to the OFF position.
When the DMP controller is retrofitted to an existing dryer with the reversing feature, off board reversing will be
required and DIP Switch #3 on the DMP must be in the OFF position and the DMP must be connected to the
Reversing Timer Board, Cissell part # TU12874 for proper operation. The DMP settings for clockwise, dwell, and
counter-clockwise times are no longer valid when used with the Reversing Board. Instead these settings
are made on the Reversing Timer Board.
