CODE CONFORMITY 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. Australian installations must meet installation requirements and pipe sizing requirements of AS/NZA 5601. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, or, when installed in Canada, with Standard CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1. To connect the dryer to the supply piping, use a listed connector in compliance with the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.24 • CSA 6.10.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES This unit may be installed at the following alcove clearance. (millimeters)
III. Back 18” (457) (Certified for 1” (25) clearance; however, 18” (457) clearance is necessary behind
the belt guard to allow servicing and maintenance.)
IV. Front 48” (1220) (to allow use of dryer)
V. Top Refer to figure on the next page labeled “Vertical Clearance Dimensions”.
AB. Certification allows 0" clearance for wall framing at the top up to 18" (456 mm) back from the front. C. However, a 1/4" (6 mm) clearance should be allowed so that the upper door can be opened.
VI. Floor This unit may be installed upon a combustible floor.
*Units may be installed in direct contact with an adjacent dryer, providing allowance is made for opening upper and lower service doors.8514-291-001 REV E PAGE 21 Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Maintain minimum of 1” (25) clearance between duct and combustible material. Refer to installation label attached to the rear guard of the dryer for other installation information.
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 considered. Consult the supplier to determine the free area equivalent for the grill being used. The source of make-up air should be located sufficiently away from the dryers to allow an even airflow to the air intakes of all dryers. Multiple openings should be provided. The sources of all make-up air and room ventilation air movement to all dryers must be located away from any dry cleaners. This is necessary so that solvent vapors will not be drawn into the dryer inlet ducts. Dry cleaner solvent vapors will decompose in contact with open flame such as the gas flame present in clothes dryers. The decomposition products are highly corrosive and will cause damage to the dryer(s) ducts and clothes loads.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS The electrical power requirements necessary to operate the unit satisfactorily are listed on the serial plate located on the back panel of each dryer and in the specifications section of this manual. The electrical connection should be made to the terminal board, on the rear of the unit. It is absolutely necessary that the dryer be grounded to a known ground. Individual circuit breakers for each dryer are required. Dryer -15 models are adjusted for 120V as shipped. They can be converted to 208-240V as required. Instructions for this conversion are located at this end of this manual. Individual circuit breakers for each unit are recommended. Do not use ground-fault circuit breakers or ground- fault circuit interrupter outlets. The wiring diagram is located on the belt guard on the back of the machine.
Like most electrical equipment, your new machine can be damaged or have its life shortened by voltage surges due to lightning strikes which are not covered by factory warranty. Local power distribution problems also can be detrimental to the life of electrical components. We recommend the installation of transient voltage surge8514-291-001 REV E PAGE 22 suppressors for your new equipment. These devices may be placed at the power supply panel for the complete installation and don’t require an individual device for each machine. These surge protectors help to protect equipment from large spikes and also from small ongoing spikes in the power that occur on a day to day basis. These smaller surges can shorten overall life of electrical components of all types and cause their failure at a later date. Although they can’t protect against all events, these protective devices have a good reputation for significantly lengthening the useful life of electronic components. Electronic components are helped to have a longer useful life when they are supplied with the clean stable electrical power they like. We are including the following names and phone numbers of a few suppliers of these devices for those who don’t currently have a source.

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, 3/4 inch [19.1] for the T-80/T-120 and 1 inch [25.4] for the T-170. A joint compound resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases should be employed in making pipe connections. All pipe connections should be checked for leakage with soap solution. Never check with an open flame. A drip tee should be provided in the gas piping entering the unit to catch dirt and other foreign articles. A 1/8 inch [3.2] NPT threaded test port, accessible for test gage connection, must be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the dryer to check the supply pressure. Test and adjust the supply pressure to ensure compliance with the specification listed on the serial plate. The recommended natural gas supply pressure is 7 inches water column (17.8 cm) at each dryer. There is a plugged 1/8 inch [3.2] NPT threaded test port in the end of the burner manifold for checking the manifold pressure. With the burner in operation, check and adjust the dryer’s gas control valve to ensure compliance with the specification listed on the serial plate for manifold pressure. After testing, be sure to replace the 1/8 inch [3.2] NPT plugs in the manifold and in the supply line test port using joint compound before operating the dryer.
For altitudes above 2,000 feet (610m) it is necessary to de-rate the BTU input. Contact your local distributor for instructions. L.P. gas conversion kits are available for this dryer. Contact your local distributor. CAUTION: The dryer must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system. Do not expose the dryer’s gas control valve to testing pressure.8514-291-001 REV E PAGE 23
EXHAUST INSTALLATION Exhausting of the dryer(s) should be planned and constructed so that no air restrictions occur. Any restriction due to pipe size or type of installation can cause slow drying time, excessive heat, and lint in the room. From an operational standpoint, incorrect or inadequate exhausting can cause a cycling of the high limit thermostat which shuts off the main burners and results in inefficient drying. Individual exhausting of the dryers is recommended. All heat, moisture, and lint should be exhausted outside by attaching a pipe of the proper diameter to the dryer adapter collar and extending it out through an outside wall. This pipe must be very smooth on the inside, as rough surfaces tend to collect lint which will eventually clog the duct and prevent the dryer from exhausting properly. All elbows must be smooth on the inside. All joints must be made so the exhaust end of one pipe is inside the next one downstream. The addition of an exhaust pipe tends to reduce the amount of air the blower can exhaust. This does not affect the dryer operation if held within practical limits. For the most efficient operation, it is recommended that no more than 14' (4.3m) of straight (8” (20.3cm) for T-30/50/80, 10 or 12” (25.4 or 30.5cm) for T-120), 12” (30.5cm) for T-170 diameter pipe be used with two right angle elbows. When more than two elbows are used, 2' (61cm) of straight pipe should be removed for each additional elbow. No more than four right angle elbows should be used to exhaust a dryer. Maintain minimum 1” (25) clearance between duct and combustible material. If the exhaust pipe passes through a wall, a metal sleeve of slightly larger diameter should be set in the wall and the exhaust pipe passed through this sleeve. This practice is required by some local codes and is recommended in all cases to protect the wall. This type of installation should have a means provided to prevent rain and high winds from entering the exhaust when the dryer is not in use. A hood with a hinged damper can be used for this purpose. Another method would be to point the outlet end of the pipe downward to prevent entrance of wind and rain. In either case, the outlet should be kept clear, by at least 24” (610), of any objects which would cause an air restriction. 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. The type using a cone shaped “roof” over the pipe is suitable for this application. Exhausting the dryer into a chimney or under a building is not permitted. In either case there is a danger of lint build-up which can be highly combustible. Installation of several dryers, where a main discharge duct is necessary, will need the following considerations for installation. Individual ducts from the dryers into the main discharge duct should be at a 45 degree angle in the direction of discharge air flow. NOTE: Never install the individual ducts at a right angle into the main discharge duct. The individual ducts from the dryers can enter at the sides or bottom of the main discharge duct. The main duct can be rectangular or round, provided adequate air flow is maintained. For each individual dryer, the total exhausting (main discharge duct plus duct outlet from the dryer) should not exceed the equivalent of 14 feet (4.3m) and two elbows. The diameter of the main discharge duct at the last dryer must be maintained to exhaust end. NOTE: A small diameter duct will restrict air flow; a large diameter duct will reduce air velocity – both contributing to lint build up. An inspection door should be provided for periodic clean-out of the main duct. NOTE: STATIC BACK PRESSURE should be a maximum of 0.3 in. w.c. (7.6 mm w.c.) at the rear exhaust outlet of the dryer. If multiple dryers are connected to the common duct, ensure the back draft damper is installed properly.8514-291-001 REV E PAGE 24
(For T-30/50/80 only) For T-30/50/80: the exhaust duct clean-out panel (as shown below) must be closed while the dryer is in service:
Keep closed while in service Slide open for routine cleaning
8.3 DRYER IGNITION (SOLID STATE IGNITION)
The solid state ignition system lights the main burner gas by spark. The gas is ignited and burns only when the gas-valve relay (in the electronic controller) calls for heat. The procedure for first-time starting of a dryer is as follows: A. First, review and comply with the “WARNINGS ABOUT USE AND OPERATION” found on the inside front cover of this manual. Be sure the electrical power supply is connected correctly. The dryer MUST be properly grounded. B. Make sure all gas supply lines are purged of air. Close the main gas shut-off valve and wait for five minutes before turning the valve back on.8514-291-001 REV E PAGE 25 C. Turn on main electrical power switch. The dryer may be started by following the “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” found later in this manual. D. Natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas fired dryers both operate in the same manner. When gas-valve relay contacts are closed (indicating a demand for heat), the solid state ignition control will automatically supply energy to the redundant gas valve. Spark will continue until a flame is detected by the sensing probe, but not longer than 10 seconds. If the gas fails to ignite within 10 seconds, the gas will shut off for 15 seconds. The control will attempt to ignite two more times in a similar manner. If the gas fails to ignite after three tries, the gas valve closes and the system will "lock out". No further attempts at ignition will be performed automatically. It is then necessary to interrupt electrical power to the ignition system before making another attempt to light the burners. This can be done by opening the dryer door, allowing the dryer to come to a stop for 15 seconds, closing the door, and pushing the "Start" button. The dryer will then repeat the ignition trial cycle.
8.4 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). The system will spray at a rate of 6 gallons of water per minute while spraying. A flexible supply line to the dryer is required to prevent damage to the water valve. It is critical to ensure that the room temperature is kept above freezing in the area of the water pipes.
To render the dryer inoperative, turn off the main gas shut-off valve and disconnect electrical power to the dryer.
Turn on power to the dryer.

Available 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 moisture remaining target has been met, the dryer will advance to the next drying stage. The drying temperature for an Autodry cycle is determined by the programmed selection for Material. Cotton 190 degrees F Blend 160 degrees F Synthetic 140 degrees F Wool 140 degrees F Delicate 120 degrees F Ultra-delicate no heat Autodry cycles will perform best with loads of the same material. Performance will vary with mixed-material loads. 12 OVERHEAT SENSING All O-Series dryers are equipped with an Overheat Sensing System that will detect abnormally rising temperatures. If rising temperatures are detected, the control screen will display OVER TEMPERATURE DETECTED and an alarm will sound. If the loading door is closed, dryer models with reversing tumblers will begin tumbling after 5 seconds. A 24 VAC output signal will also be sent to the auxiliary terminal block in the control box on the rear of the dryer. This signal is available for customers to use with a supplementary system of their choice. For dryer models with the optional water-based fire suppression system, water will also intermittently be sprayed into the tumbler.8514-291-001 REV E PAGE 27 If the Overheat Sensing System has been activated, the dryer should be inspected safely and appropriately. After inspecting the dryer, it may be returned to service by resetting the controller by pressing the RESET button on the main control board.
13 DRYER ERROR MESSAGES
