3. Electrical Requirements
No independent external power source or supply connection is necessary. The 24 volt power to operate the
fire suppression system is accomplished internally in the dryer (from the dryer controls).
WARNING: Electrical power must be provided to the dryer at ALL times. If the main electrical
power supply to the dryer is disconnected, the fire suppression system is INOPERATIVE!!
J. PREPARATION FOR OPERATION/START-UP
The following items should be checked before attempting to operate the dryer:
1. Read ALL “CAUTION,” “WARNING,” and “DIRECTION” labels attached to the dryer.
2. Check incoming supply voltage to be sure that it is the same as indicated on the dryer data label. In the case
of 208 VAC OR 240 VAC, THE SUPPLY VOLTAGE MUST MATCH THE ELECTRIC SERVICE
EXACTLY.
3. GAS MODELS - check to ensure that the dryer is connected to the type of heat/gas indicated on the dryer
data label.
4. GAS MODELS - the sail switch damper assembly was installed and pre-adjusted at the factory prior to
shipping. However, each sail switch adjustment must be checked to ensure that this important safety
control is functioning.
5. GAS MODELS - be sure that ALL gas shutoff valves are in the open position.
6. Be sure that ALL electric box covers have been replaced.
7. Check ALL service doors to ensure that they are closed and secured in place.
