SECTION IX
SENSOR ACTIVATED
FIRE EXTINGUISHING (S.A.F.E.) SYSTEM
The exclusive Sensor Activated Fire Extinguishing (S.A.F.E.) System will extinguish fires that may start in the
drying basket (tumbler). A series of sensors positioned throughout the basket (tumbler) and interfaced with the
microprocessor will trigger the S.A.F.E. system water jet(s) to quickly extinguish the flames. The water jet(s)
remain on for 2 minutes and will automatically activate again if a fire condition remains or reignites. While the
water jet(s) are activated, the basket (tumbler) will jog to move the water throughout the load. The microprocessor
will display that the system was activated and will continue to display until the dryer is attended to.
BEFORE YOU START!
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 ensure that the plumbing installation is adequate and conforms to
local, state, and federal regulations or codes.
IMPORTANT:
It is the installer’s or owner’s responsibility to see that the necessary or required
water, water pressure, pipe size, or connections are provided. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility if the S.A.F.E. system
is not
connected, installed, or
maintained properly.
INSTALLATION
1. Requirements
The S.A.F.E. system
must be
supplied with a minimum water pipe size of 1/2” and be provided with
40 psi +/- 20 psi (2.75 bar +/- 1.37 bar) of pressure. For use of optional manual bypass, a second source
with the same piping and pressure requirements is required.
Flexible 1/2 feeds
must be
provided to avoid damage to electric water solenoid valve by vibration.
IMPORTANT:
Flexible supply line/coupling
must be
used. Solenoid valve failure due to hard
plumbing connections WILL VOID WARRANTY.
If the rear area of the 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.
