  • Page 6: Introduction

    Among its many amenities, ADC’s Phase 7 OPL Drying System has a true Automatic Drying Cycle. The Phase 7 OPL Automatic Drying Cycle (Patent No. 4,827,627) principle is based on one of the most fundamental laws of thermodynamics which governs the flow of heat in thermal systems.

  • Page 7: Features

    Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle - for special loads, programming allows for a specific amount of time in minutes for both drying and cool down cycles. Preprogrammed Cycles - the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) can store in its memory six (6) preprogrammed cycles in either the Automatic Drying Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627) or Manual Drying Mode in the A-F keys and an additional 100 in the numerical memory of 0-99.

  • Page 8: Cycle Preview

    Cycle Preview - entire dryer parameters (programs) or the preprogrammed cycles are displayed for verification upon a coded entry to the keypad (touchpad). Reversing Option - helps reduce the balling up or tangling of large items. A cycle can be set to have the reversing option where the basket (tumbler) will turn in the forward direction From 30 to 120 seconds, stop from 7 to 10 seconds, and then proceed in the reverse direction for the same time.

  • Page 9: Program Selections

    These cycles can be programmed in any combination. Once the drying cycle is completed, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller then goes into the Cool Down Cycle where the articles are tumbled at room temperature. Once the programmed Cool Down Cycle is completed, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will go to the next step (Wrinkle Guard).

  • Page 10: Manually Loaded Cycles

    B. MANUALLY LOADED CYCLES For occasional or one-time special loads, the operator must enter the specific program features needed. This cycle is not stored within the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) and must be entered each and every time.

  • Page 11: Automatic Drying Cycle

    C. AUTOMATIC DRYING CYCLE (Mode) (Patent No. 4,827,627) In this mode, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying time is needed and compensates for various types of fabric and load sizes, all automatically. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) accomplishes this by calculating the dryness level (percentage of extraction) using the temperature selected, as well as, the “A”...

  • Page 13: Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle Operation

    3) Drying Temperature - programmable from 100°F to 200°F in one-degree increments or from 37°C to 93°C in one-degree increments. 4) For optional reversing, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller can be programmed to reverse or no reverse (single detection rotation). This is done in “DRYER SETUP”.

  • Page 14: Temperature Selections

    E. TEMPERATURE SELECTIONS (Drying Temperatures) Operating Temperature Selections: Automatic Drying Cycle (Mode) (Patent No. 4,827,627) - programmable from 160º to 200ºF in one- degree increments or from 71ºC to 93ºC in one-degree increments. Timed (Manual) Drying Cycle (Mode) - programmable from 100ºF to 200ºF in one-degree increments or from 37ºC to 93ºC in one-degree increments.

  • Page 15: Dot Matrix Display

    NOTE: The Cool Down Cycle will run either until the Cool Down Temperature is reached or until the Cool Down Time has expired, whichever comes first. NOTE: If there has been no Drying Time selected, then the Cool Down Cycle will ignore the Cool Down Temp and do the Cool Down Time only.

  • Page 16: Cycle In Progress Temperature Display

    For example, when changing from ºF to ºC, if the preprogrammed Cycle “A” drying temperature was set for 160ºF, the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will change to 71ºC (+/- [1] one-degree...

  • Page 17: Wrinkle Guard Program

    When the drying and cooling cycles are completed, the dryer will shut off, the tone will sound, and the L.E.D. display will read “WRINKLE GUARD”. If the door is not opened, or cycle stopped. The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will wait until the Wrinkle Guard Delay Time of 2 minutes has expired at which time the fan will start and the basket (tumbler) will rotate (without heat) for the Wrinkle Guard On Time of 2 minutes.

  • Page 18: Reversing Option

    2) Dwell (stop) Time - programmable from 7 seconds to 10 seconds in one-second increments. N. DIAGNOSTICS The Phase 7 OPL , microprocessor controller (computer) monitors both “ Drying and Mechanical function.” they are as follows: Drying Functions: These include Temperatures, Burners, Sail Switches, Blower, Tumbler, and Lint Drawer.

  • Page 19: Program Locations

    For example, when changing from ºF to ºC, if the preprogrammed Cycle “A” drying temperature was set for 160ºF,the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will change to 71ºC (+/- one-degree Celsius).

  • Page 23: Operating Instructions

    SECTION IV OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) allows the operator to choose from six (6) preprogrammed cycles (Key “A” through Key “F”). These have been preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters (programs) shown on page 49. There are an additional (“0” through “99”) preprogrammable cycles that are preprogrammed by the factory with the parameters (programs) shown on page 49.
  • Page 24 These times are not programmable. During the ON time, the Blower (fan) and the basket (tumbler) will start to rotate (without heat for 2 minutes). The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process until the Maximum Wrinkle Guard On Time has expired (99 minutes).
  • Page 25 These times are not programmable. During the ON time, the Blower (fan) and the basket (tumbler) will start to rotate (without heat for 2 minutes). The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process until the Maximum Wrinkle Guard On Time has expired (99 minutes).
  • Page 26 Fan and Tumbler until the Cool Down time, or temperature is reached. Once the COOL DOWN cycle is completed the Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will proceed into the Wrinkle Guard cycle. The Audio Alert tone will sound (for amount set in Audio Alert ON time).

  • Page 27: Operating Notes

    These times are not programmable. During the ON time, the Blower (fan) and the basket (tumbler) will start to rotate (without heat for 2 minutes). The Phase 7 OPL microprocessor controller (computer) will repeat this process until the Maximum Wrinkle Guard On Time has expired (99 minutes).
  • Page 28 The dryer can be stopped at anytime by pressing the “CLEAR/STOP” key. If the temperature is above the Cool Down setpoint when the “CLEAR/STOP” key is pressed, the dryer will go into a Cool Down Cycle. If the “CLEAR/STOP” key is pressed again at this point the cycle that was in progress will be cancelled and returned to the “READY”...
