W879R1
IMPORTANT: Main supplies of electricity and water to
the tumble dryer should remain on at all times for the
fire suppression system to work.
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 confirm 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.
To ensure the fire suppression system operates properly:
•Water supply requirements: 3/4 inch hose connections providing 15 gpm [57 lpm] minimum flow; Water pressure 20 psi
[138 kPa] minimum, 120 psi [827 kPa] maximum; water temperature 40°F [4.5°C] minimum, 120°F [49°C] maximum
must be maintained at all times.
•Electric power to the tumble dryer must be provided at all
times.
•Perform preventative maintenance checks every month. Refer
to Operation/Maintenance Manual.
NOTE: Water pressure under 20 psi [138 kPa] will
cause low flow 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 [4.5°C and 49°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° [4.5°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° [4.5°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
Connect machine to a backflow preventer (vacuum breaker) before connecting to the public water main in all countries where
local regulations require specific water approval certificates.
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 .
To connect the two hoses (supplied with tumble dryer), insert
rubber washers (from literature pack) in water inlet hose couplings. Refer to Figure 4 .
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.

Electrical power must be provided to tumble dryer at
all times. The fire suppression system will be inoperative if the main electrical power supply is disconnected.
W690R1
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.
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.)

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.
8. Load the cylinder with a full load of clean rags and run to remove oil or dirt from cylinder.
9. Check the airflow switch operation by opening the lint panel;
be sure to remove shipping tape from airflow switch prior to
operation. Temporarily tape down the lint panel safety switch
located behind the upper left corner of the lint panel. The
heating systems should shut off when the lint panel is opened

foil ducting to exhaust the tumble dryer.
W773R1
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.
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.

170 Series525 in.2 [3,400 cm2 ]
200 Series525 in.2 [3,400 cm2 ]
Make-up air openings with louvers will restrict airflow. The
opening must be increased to compensate for area taken up and
restrictions created 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 make-up 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
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire due to increased static
pressure, we do not recommend installation of inline secondary lint filters or lint collectors. If secondary systems are mandated, frequently clean the
system to assure safe operation.
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

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 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.

6. Replace belt guard cover.
1. Discard
2. Cover
Figure 11
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 in the Specifications and Dimensions Table or 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 (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:
= 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.] cannot be
maintained, schedule monthly inspections and cleaning of the
ductwork.
NOTE: The maximum length of a flexible metal duct
must not exceed 7.9 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 13 and Figure 14 . This illustration indicates mini-
mum 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.
One Manifold Assembly
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 specified in the
Specifications and Dimensions Table or 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.

This appliance does not contain inherent pressure
relief. A pressure relief valve rated for a maximum of
125 psi shall be provided by the steam source.
NOTE: Steam valve and required adapter are located in
cylinder or lint compartment.
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 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 and Figure 22 for proper steam pipe con-
figurations.
•To prevent condensate draining from headers to tumble dryer,

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 [460 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.
NOTE: Steam inlet lines of each dryer should be
trapped to keep line condensation from going into
steam coils.
NOTE: IEC machines are shipped with BSPT adapters in the lint compartment.
•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 tumble dryer steam
coil connections.

WARNING
70458601 and 70458701 controls cannot be serviced
by the user. If any control failures are detected, the
controls must be replaced by qualified service personnel. Risk of explosion or fire can result if the control module has been opened or with any attempts to
repair it and the warranty is void.
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 table below:

Reset failure1. Reset switch was pressed too long. Try to reset again.
2. Reset switch is shorted. Replace switch.
Proper Electrode Location
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 43 .
Figure 43
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-amp meter 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 FC- terminals. Each micro-amp of
flame current produces 1.0 VDC, so a reading of 2.6 VDC would
equate to 2.6 micro-amps.
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.
A good burner ground that matches the control ground is critical
for reliable flame sensing.
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 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.
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

Operating Instructions
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 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.
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.
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.
Flame Probe Tests
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.
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.
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

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, makeup 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:
Adjustments
Figure 45
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. (A whistling sound from burner could
also be caused by an improper air shutter setting.)
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.
5. After air shutter is adjusted for proper flame, tighten air shutter adjusting screw securely.
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.

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.
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.
