Page 9: Installation Procedures
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES Installation should be performed by competent technicians in accordance with local and state codes. In the absence of these codes, the installation must conform to applicable American National Standards: ANSI Z223.1- LATEST EDITION (National Fuel Gas Code) or ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION (National Electrical Code) or in Canada, the installation must conform to applicable Canadian Standards: CAN/CGA-B149.1-M91 (Natural Gas) or CAN/CGA-B149.2-M91 (Liquid Propane [L.P.] Gas) or LATEST EDITION (for General Installation and Gas Plumbing) or Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 &... -

3. The dryer must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and make-up air supply. CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors. Every 6 months, inspect the exhaust ducting and remove any lint build up. C. -
Page 11: Fresh Air Supply Requirements
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to assure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted source of air for 800 cfm (22.65 cmm) is necessary for each dryer. An unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere) of a minimum of 1-1/2 square feet (0.14 square meters) is required for each dryer. -
Page 12: Exhaust Requirements
E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a competent technician. Improperly sized ductwork will create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat protector thermostats. - Page 13 The main duct may be any shape of cross section area, so long as the minimum cross section area is provided. Figure 1, shown above, shows the minimum cross section area for multiple dryer venting. These figures must be increased if more than twelve (12) dryers are connected to the same main (common) duct, if the main duct end run is unusually long (20 feet [6.1 meters] or more), or if there are numerous elbows in the main duct end run.

Page 14: Electrical Information
F. ELECTRICAL INFORMATION 1. Electrical Requirements It is your responsibility to have ALL electrical connections made by a properly licensed and competent electrician to assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local and state regulations or codes. In the absence of such codes, ALL electrical connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. - Page 15 NOTE: Component failure due to improper voltage application will VOID THE WARRANTY . b. Electrical Service for Electric Dryers ALL electrically heated dryers must be connected to the electrical supply service shown on the dryer’s data label, which is affixed to the inside of the control door. The connecting wires must be properly sized to handle the rated current.
- Page 16 4. Electrical Connections for Gas Dryers A wiring diagram is located inside the front wiring box. a. Single-Phase (1ø) Dryers The electrical connections for dryers manufactured for operation at single-phase (1ø) (2-wire) are made through the top of the dryer, at the rear. The dryer is shipped with the three (3) connection leads (L1, L2 or N, and ground) for each basket (tumbler) compartment extending out of the top connector holes.

Page 17: Gas Information
5. Electrical Connections for Electric Dryers The electrical input connections for each basket (tumbler) section are made at each oven contactor, located at the rear of the dryer. The only electrical connections needed are the 3-phase (3ø) leads (L1, L2, and L3) and ground. - Page 18 2. Technical Gas Data TECHNICAL GAS DATA Type of Gas: Gas Valve Pressure* In-Line Pressure (W.C.) Orifice Size (D.M.S.) Gas Inlet Size BTUH Input (Each basket [tumbler]) Total BTUH Input (per dryer) * Measured at gas valve pressure tap when ignition has occurred. Measured in inches of water column (W.C.). The manifold pressure for natural gas is 3.5 inches (8.7 mb) water column.
- Page 19 a. Liquid Propane (L.P.) Gas Dryers manufactured for use with liquid propane (L.P.) gas have no pressure regulator or means of regulation built into the dryer. Regulation must be provided at the gas supply (L.P. tank) or, in the case where another gas appliance of a higher required gas pressure is on the same supply line, separate regulators (vented to the outdoors) servicing each dryer should be provided.
-
Page 20: Preparation For Operation
IMPORTANT: Water column (W.C.) pressure of 11.0 inches (27.4 mb) is required at the gas valve pressure tap of each dryer for proper and safe operation. This will result in a manifold pressure of 10.5 inches (26.1 mb) water column. The 11.0 inch (27.4 mb) water column pressure should be obtained when the gas valve is firing in its high-fire stage. -
Page 21: Preoperational Tests
I. PREOPERATIONAL TESTS ALL dryers are thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving the factory. However, a preoperational test should be taken before the dryer is publicly used. It is possible that adjustments have changed in transit. 1. Turn on electric power to dryer. Open ALL gas shutoff valves. 2. -
Page 22: Maintenance
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST DISCONNECT AND LOCKOUT THE ELECTRIC SUPPLY AND THE GAS SUPPLY BEFORE ANY COVERS OR GUARDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE DRYER TO ALLOW ACCESS FOR CLEANING, ADJUSTING, INSTALLATION, OR, TESTING OF ANY EQUIPMENT PER OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) STANDARDS. -
Page 23: Adjustments
2. Remove lint accumulation from openings in the dryer’s back panels. Remove lint from gas burner area with a dusting brush or vacuum cleaner attachment. Remove any lint accumulation from between the inner and the outer firing chambers of the gas burner. IMPORTANT: Lint accumulation will restrict internal motor airflow, causing overheating and irreparable motor damage. - Page 24 ADC 112115 1 * 1/90-2500 2 * 06/27/95-100 3 * 9/28/00-25 4 * 01/15/02-25...
