American Dryer Corp Phase 7.2.2 Manually Loaded Cycles, Timed Manual Drying Cycle Operation

B. MANUALLY LOADED CYCLES

For occasional or onetime special loads, the operator must enter the specific program features needed. This cycle is not stored within the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) and must be entered each time.

The Manually Loaded Cycle can be set in either the Automatic Drying Mode (Patent No. 4,827,627) or the Timed (Manual) Drying Mode. These modes are selected by pressing the “AUTO” or “MAN” key on the keyboard (touch pad).

C. AUTOMATIC DRYING CYCLE (PATENT NO. 4,827,627) OPERATIONS

In this mode, the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) determines how much drying time is needed and compensates for various types of fabrics and load sizes, ALL automatically. The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) accomplishes this by calculating the dryness level (percentage of extraction), using the temperature selected, as well as the dryness level preset by the factory.

The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) monitors the first three (3) heat peaks (slopes), at which time it calculates the dryness level (heat loss), along with the percentage of extraction selected. When the Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) determines that ALL the factors are met, the drying cycle will end and the dryer will go into the Cool Down Cycle. The Phase 7 non-coin microprocessor controller (computer) also has a drying time out setting, which will control the maximum time an auto cycle will run.

D. TIMED (MANUAL) DRYING CYCLE OPERATION

This drying cycle is intended for special loads in which a specific amount of drying time and cooling time is needed. It is especially intended for fine, delicate items that require very low temperatures and long drying and/or Cool Down Time periods.

ALL parameters set in the “COOL DOWN SETUP” pertain to the Manually Loaded Manual and Auto Cycles. The “A-F” and “0-40” cycles that have been selected to be manual, have separate settings for ALL the parameters contained in the “COOL DOWN SETUP” menu.

The program limitation is the same as in Section III, A2.

NOTE: The Cool Down Cycle will either run until the Cool Down Temperature is reached or until the Cool Down Time has expired, whichever comes first.

NOTE: If no Drying Time has been selected, the Cool Down Cycle will ignore the Cool Down Temperature and will use the Cool Down Time only.
