SECTION IV

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) allows the operator to choose from six (6) preprogrammed

cycles (keys “A-F”). These have been preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters (programs) shown

in Section VII. There are an additional (“0-40”) preprogrammable cycles that are preprogrammed by the

factory with the parameters (programs) shown in Section VII. For occasional or onetime 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) Light emitting diode (L.E.D.) display reads “READY” (no cycle in progress).

2) Press the letter on the keyboard (touch pad) corresponding to the cycle desired (i.e., key “A”).

NOTE: “0-40” 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, basket [tumbler], and heat).

4) At the start of a cycle the L.E.D. display will initially display the cycle parameters of the selected

cycle, AUTO DRYING CYCLE A, TEMP 180, DRYNESS LEVEL EX DRY. Then the display

will read AUTO CYCLE A, ELAPSED TIME 00:00 MINUTES. The L.E.D. display will continue

to show AUTO CYCLE A, ELAPSED TIME XX:XX MINUTES until the load is dried to the

appropriate dryness level.

NOTE: Press and hold the “UP ARROW” to view the basket (tumbler) temperature at any time.

NOTE: The dryer can be stopped at any time by pressing the “STOP/CLEAR”

key, at this time the

dryer will go into a cycle pause. If the “STOP/CLEAR”

key is pressed again at this point,

the cycle that was in progress will be cancelled and returned to the “READY” state.
