JOG Forward/Reverse Push-Buttons | American Dryer Corp ML-410

JOG (Forward/Reverse Push-Buttons)

These two (2) push-buttons, located towards the left side of the Right Front Control Door, are for either loading or unloading the tumbler (basket). “JOG” functions are only enabled when the doors are open.

NOTE: There is a PLC controlled “DWELL TIME” between forward jog or reverse jog selection to prevent plug starting the tumbler (basket) drive motor.

LOAD/DRY/UNLOAD (Three [3] Position Selector Switch)

TILT (Off - On) (Two [2] Position Selector Switch)

The “LOAD/DRY/UNLOAD” and “TILT (Off - On)” selector switches work in conjunction with each other. If the “TILT” selector is in the “OFF” position, an “UNLOAD” or “LOAD” selection will open the front horizontal doors, allowing an operator to load or unload the tumbler (basket) in the level position.

NOTE: The ML-410 “JOG” feature will respond in the level position. The Lint Drawer must be closed for the “JOG” feature to operate.

If the “TILT” selector is in the “ON” position, an “UNLOAD” selection will open the front vertical doors and tilt the tumbler (basket) section towards the front (Rear Up). Likewise, a “LOAD” selection will open the front horizontal doors and tilt the tumbler (basket) section towards the rear (Front Up).

The “DRY” selection will bring the tumbler (basket) section to a level position and close the front horizontal doors. Once ALL safe conditions are met (i.e., front doors closed, lint drawer closed, machine level), an operator will be able to select a drying cycle on the Phase 7 Microprocessor Controller’s (computer) keyboard (touchpad) located on the Right Front Control Door. Refer to the Phase 7 Operator’s Manual for details.

CONTROL POWER (On)

This green lighted operator, located on the Right Front Control Door, is for enabling the dryer’s control voltage. This push-button must be “ON” for drying or load/unload function to occur.

CONTROL POWER (Off)

This red non-lighted operator, located on the Right Front Control Door, is for disabling the dryer’s output control voltage. This push-button is mainly for use as a troubleshooting function.

END OF CYCLE/AIR JET

This amber colored indicator located on the top of the ML-410 has two (2) functions:

1.To indicate that a drying cycle has been completed and that the dried material is ready for attention. Once the dryer is attended (i.e., lint drawer is opened, or the “UNLOAD - DRY - LOAD” selector is turned to either the “UNLOAD” or “LOAD” position and the vertical doors open) the indicator will go off.

2.The Air Jet will be activated at the end of the drying cycle when the “End of Cycle” light has been energized. The Air Jet will remain active for approximately thirty (30) seconds to remove lint which may have accumulated on the Blower Wheel (squirrel cage).
