    To Remove Top Console (Module) Disconnect the ground wire (A) at the rear upper left hand corner of dryer. Remove the 8 sets of nuts and washers (B) holding the console (module) to base. Open the control door/control panel and disconnect the white 15-pin plug connector (C) (illustration below) located in the base of the control box.
  • Page 12: Fresh Air Supply Requirements

    Fresh Air Supply Requirements ______ When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the tumbler, and exhausts it out of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected.
  • Page 13 NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be centered within this opening. Outside Ductwork Protection To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90°...
  • Page 14: Electrical Information

    IMPORTANT: Minimum duct size for a dryer is 12-inches (30.48 cm) for a round duct and 10-3/4” x 10-3/4” (27.31 cm x 27.31 cm) for a square duct. The duct size must not be reduced anywhere down stream of the dryer. Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each tumbler exhaust duct area should not exceed 0.6”...

    NOTE: The dryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
  • Page 19: Air Requirements

    Steam Damper Air System Connections The steam dryer is manufactured with a pneumatic (piston) damper system, which requires an external supply of compressed air 0.75 cfh (0.02 cmh). The air connection is made to the steam damper solenoid valve, which is located at the rear inner top area of the dryer just above the electric service relay box (refer to the illustration on the following page).
  • Page 20: Preparation For Operation

    Steam Damper Air Piston (Flow Control) Operation Adjustment System Although the damper operation was tested and adjusted prior to shipping at 80 psi (5.51 bar), steam damper operation must be checked before the dryer is put into operation. Refer to the previous page for instructions to check steam damper system operation.
  • Page 21: Shutdown Instructions

    Steam Models Check to ensure that steam damper is functioning properly. The steam damper should not “slam” (open/closed) when it reaches the end of (piston) travel. Additionally, the steam damper should not bind or stop during travel. If either of these conditions occur, the flow control must be adjusted.

    Shipping charges are not the responsibility of ADC. All returns should be “prepaid” to the factory. Any “C.O.D.” or “COLLECT” returns will not be accepted. IMPORTANT: No replacements, credits, or refunds will be issued if the claim cannot be processed due to insufficient information.
  • Page 24: Adjustments

    NOTE: A back draft damper that is sticking partially closed can result in slow drying and shutdown of the heat circuit safety switches or thermostats. When cleaning dryer cabinet(s), avoid using harsh abrasives. A product intended for the cleaning of appliances is recommended.
  • Page 25: Procedure For Functional Check Of Replacement Components

    Procedure for Functional Check of Replacement Components ________ Microprocessor Controller (Computer) Board Upon completing installation of the replacement microprocessor controller (computer) board, reestablish power to the dryer. Start the drying cycle by pressing any of the preset cycles in letters A-F. Verify that the applicable indicator lights on the microprocessor controller (computer) board are lit.
