Dryer Installation All commercial dryer installations must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1A. Canadian installations must comply with current Standard CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances or Equipment, and local codes if applicable.
MAKE-UP AIR Adequate make-up air must be supplied to replace air exhausted by dryers on all types of installations. Refer to specifications for the minimum amount of make-up air opening to outside for each dryer. This is a net requirement of effective area. Screens, grills or louvers, which will restrict the flow of air, must be con- sidered.
GAS REQUIREMENTS The complete gas requirements necessary to operate the dryer satisfactorily are listed on the serial plate located on the back panel of the dryer. An individual gas shutoff valve is recommended for each dryer and may be required by local code (not supplied). The inlet gas connection to the unit is 1/2 inch [12.7] pipe thread for T-30/50 and 3/4 inch [19.1] for the T-80/T-120.
Page 21
Never install a protective screen over the exhaust outlet. When exhausting a dryer straight up through a roof, the overall length of the duct has the same limits as exhausting through a wall. A rain cap must be placed on top of the exhaust and must be of such a type as to be free from clogging.
WATER CONNECTION – OPTIONAL MODEL An uninterrupted water supply is required for models with the optional water dispensing fire response system. See the dryer dimension section for the location of the water line connection on the rear of the dryer. The thread size on the water valve is 3/4 - 11.5 NHT. The water supply pressure should be 40-120 psi (2.8-8.2 bar).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STARTING THE DRYER 1) Turn on power to the dryer. 2) Load the laundry. Place laundry in tumbler and close the door securely. Be sure laundry does not get caught between the door gasket and front panel when closing the door. Maximum load is the dry weight capacity listed in the specification sheet.
Page 27
AUTODRY CYCLES Autodry cycles will dry the load to the programmed percent remaining moisture. Avail- able moisture selections are: 25%, 20%, 15%, 10%, 7%, 5%, 3%, 1% and 0%. These can be changed by editing cycles within the Management View. When the desired mois- ture remaining target has been met, the dryer will advance to the next drying stage.

Dryer Trouble Shooting DRYER ERROR MESSAGES The O-Series dryer control reacts to various abnormal conditions by displaying an Error message. These messages usually contain the “Error” text, and then a general de- scription of the message. Below is a listing of Error messages separated by each poten- tial displayed message in bold face.
Page 59
BROWN OUT Condition This error occurs when the Main Control Board detects less then 21VAC at the 24VAC input. Control When detected, the control turns off the motor and the heating relay. There is no Action delay in the action once the criteria are met. Exit The machine will not start and the Error Code will continue to be displayed until the condition is no longer present.
Page 60
NO HEAT RISE Condition This error occurs when the control detects that the temperature is not increasing. Control When detected there is a delay of 15 minutes before the error is active. Once Action active, the control will display the “NO HEAT RISE” prompt, alternating with the normal Cycle Progress screen at a rate of 5 seconds on, 5 seconds off.
