SECTION IV
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) allows the operator to choose from six (6) preprogrammed
cycles (Key “A” through Key “F”). These have been preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters
(programs) shown on
page 49
. There are an additional (“0” through “99”) preprogrammable cycles that are
preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters (programs) shown on
page 49
. For occasional or one-time
special loads, the manually loaded cycles can be used where the operator must set the specific program(s)
needed.
NOTE:
Refer to
Section III
of this manual for a complete explanation of the various cycles/
selections available.
After the load is put into the basket (tumbler) and the dryer is ready to dry, determine which cycle will best suit the
application (type of load). We recommend using the Automatic Drying Cycle
(Patent No. 4,827,627)
for most
loads. This cycle provides for the best drying in the shortest time, all automatically.
A. OPERATING SEQUENCE
1.
Preprogrammed Cycles
a.
Automatic Drying Cycle
(Patent No. 4,827,627)
1) L.E.D. display reads “READY” (no cycle in progress).
2) Press the letter on the keyboard (touchpad) corresponding to the cycle desired (i.e., Key
“A”).
NOTE: (0-99) WILL REQUIRE THE “START/ENTER” KEY TO BE PRESSED AFTER THE
NUMBER IS SELECTED IN ORDER TO ACCEPT THE SELECTION AND START DRYING.
3) The dryer will then start.(i.e., Blower, tumbler and heat)
4) L.E.D. display reads AUTO DRYING CYCLE A, ELAPSED TIME__ MIN 00:00. During
the drying cycle, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will monitoring the
amount of moisture in the load. Once the temperature is above 160 F, the Cycle Status portion
of the L.E.D. will change from ELAPSED TIME __ MIN to __% DRY. The display will
count upward until the percentage of extraction programmed is reached.
NOTE
: Press the “UP ARROW” to view the tumbler temperature at any time.
NOTE:
The dryer can be stopped at any time by pressing the “CLEAR/STOP” Key. If the temperature
is above the Cool Down setpoint when the “CLEAR/STOP” is pressed, the dryer will go into a
Cool Down cycle. If the “CLEAR/STOP” key is pressed again at this point the cycle that was
in progress
will be cancelled
and returned to the “READY” state. If the temperature is below
the Cool Down set point. The cycle that was in progress
will be cancelled
, and go to the
Wrinkle Guard.
